Spare me from star-child occultists. Spare me from ghost-bothering pricks. Spare me from those who only use witchcraft as an excuse to see some naked flesh. It isn’t the Age of Aquarius Nokes, it’s the Age of the Pisspuffin. - #DICallaghan in conversation to #DSNokes

Goodnight from the Kingsmere Estate, where even the local bootboys are now afraid of the dark given the latest Wish Blood shenanigans. Goodnight from Beckie Ealer, wishing she could remember the special word for divination by symbols spun into spiderwebs. Goodnight from Hookland.

Rude. But fair.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Somewhere on this PC I have an image of an old arcade game that was like a fairground shooting gallery where the player had to shoot things like ducks and clay pipes, I think. Can I find it? Can I 'eck as like.

Rooks shout the dying day. Spirits wake. Twilight as threshold engine for my magics. Twilight as a time of summoning. My tongue spills secret names. My tongue seduces the world to see things my way. I am a witch. Change is the wake of my walking. – #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

People can and should have nice things.
If someone writes a report saying "we build transport that is too nice and that's why projects are expensive and that's why we don't build more of them" then not only should their analysis be discarded as junk but they should be pilloried.

Goodnight from Cora Hall, dyeing cotton thread with madder root for use in her Wagging Tongue binding. Goodnight from Ray Link, staying up for his Open University broadcast and discovering other errant, alien transmissions can be found in the early hours. Goodnight from Hookland.
