The image displays a quote expressing a desire for a passionate and honest life and relationship. The speaker wants a life filled with "love notes and dirty jokes". They desire to be told they are "fucking beautiful" in the morning and to be fed chocolate. The relationship should remain "patient, honest and sexy as hell".

This is a lovely idea. If you’re not familiar with @wombat37.bsky.social, you’ve missed out. He’s been an uplifting presence on here, and has dealt with his approaching death with extraordinary openness, honesty, bravery and humour. One of the very best on here.
The 37th Wombat (posted 1 month ago) Some of you know this already, but I see no reason to keep it a secret. My oncologist told me on Friday that they had done all they can, the cancer is still growing, and that I have months, maybe weeks, left to live. I have no idea what's to come, but l'll be on here as long as I can. #FuckCancer

Friends of @wombat37.bsky.social unite!

By quote reposting this, I’m hoping to make a virtual chain of people around Wombie. Full of love and happy memories of this great friend of ours, so he can feel us making a huge circle of love and care around him.

Are you in?

#SundayPixMemorableFood I'm reminded of the time that my bookclub read The Raven's Wing by @wombat37.bsky.social & as I hosted it, I made the medieval recipes in the back: Waffres & Beef & Cherry pies. The Waffres were delicious. My pies came out a bit dry.
A paperback copy of The Raven's Wing by Michael Wombat. A silhouetted raven is flying across a red sun on a white bavkground with black vertical stripes along it and a black leafless tree. Open pages of a book to show the recipe for Beef and Cherry Pie. Open pages of a book explain Waffres and a recipe for them.

#SundayPixMemorableFood February this year, Austrian ski holiday.
A tray of food with a lit firework in it. The tray has steaks, schnitzels, french fries, vegetables, sausages, gravy and salad. It's on a wooden table in an Austrian bar (Hexenalm Hotel, Soll). A man on the other side of it is also taking a picture of it.

And finally, some cookies my students brought in to the last day of class, the first time I taught my Sex and the Body in the Ancient World. They captured the themes of the course perfectly! 🤣🍆 #SundayPixMemorableFood #nsfw
Phallus shaped cookies (plain, hence pre-pubescent) Phallus-shaped cookies, some with dark sprinkles to represent mature pubic hair, one with white to show an old man.

So sick of fireworks being set off. Been going on weeks now. It used to only be legal on New Year's eve, but then they made it legal to set off 'category 1' fireworks all year round which means the Dutch set all fireworks off whenever they like, no one cares as is the standard cultural way.

Y'all wanna see me recite a real poem, without jokes and things?? Well, here's your chance.

(Not my best performance, since I'm feeling bad, but good enough for while I'm lying around with my dog)

I had a strange dream that all of us who are friends with the most wonderful @wombat37.bsky.social were all at the hospital to see him, but there were hundreds of us so we just linked arms and formed an enormous circle around the hospital and the city, to show our love. Woke up all tearful. 💜💜

Today’s word of the day is ‘count’.

This idea came to me fully formed: Cthulhu as Count Von Count.
Chubby Cthulhu dressed as Seasame Street’s Count Von Count in full black tie evening dress, with a long dark green cloak and a monocle. He’s saying “Vun, two, ah, ah, ah!”

So ##SundayPixMemorableFood is here and I could be a drooling wreck by the end of the day.
Show off your triumphs in the kitchen, your favourite celebration, your bad menu choice, the evil being in the cake!

#SundayPixMemorableFood Hubby made me a strawberry kwark tart for my birthday this year. He's NEVER done that before. I was very touched. (It's a box mix, but still). It's like cheesecake but made from yoghurt - Kwark is a type of thick yoghurt.

An ice cream christmas pudding. Cuz no one in my house is into Christmas pudding. Though hubby and I end up eating most of this.
An ice cream Christmas putting, cut open on a plate. The outside is made of vanilla ice cream with coloured glace cherries mixed in and the inside is chocolate ice cream with alcohol soaked nuts, raisens, sultanas and currents, mixed in. The trick is to get it out of the pudding basin it's frozen into. Dip the basin into hot water and then flip it onto a plat a few seconds later. Should slide out.
