Well I was having a lovely evening but now I've popped online and saw Catherine O'Hara died 😭
She was amazing in all her roles but Sally will always be my favourite 🖤

the reveries i dream
but one is allowed a few secrets

I've been watching a few videos about commonplace books, I've been fascinated by them since I first read A Series of Unfortunate Events and have been saying for years that I should start one.

I woke up to a dm from faraway bestie saying nothing but "do you think the soul is real?"
My dude, it's too early for existentialism 😂
Have a lovely day 😘

If you're hyped for the forthcoming Francesca storyline in #bridgerton and need more sapphic historical stories to tide you over until then, may I recommend my books in the meantime—the sweet & romantic THE UNLIKELY PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET and the funny & sexy THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY!

Clearly the resolution on my laptop is very different to that on my phone. I spent all that time yesterday altering my hair colour on gimp and then sent it over to my phone and LO AND BEHOLD, the colour looks barely different!! 😩
Well, guess I'm doing it all over again.

soul food is bad for the skin
and caramel rots your teeth
but i'd be damned
if i gave up the little joys
my body isn't permanent
so i'll indulge

Folks, please don’t tell artists they shouldn’t be making or selling their art right now. For many, it’s how they pay the bills. Art is vital during times like this. ALL ART. Whether it’s a protest sign or a book cover or just a beautiful drawing. It’s part of the heart of humanity.

I'm not liking how fast this week is flying by. Even in the slow dredges of January, a week off work will always be far too swift 😂
Have a lovely day 😘
