The best doors are the ancient ones softened with decay, with peeling paint and corrosion. To knock thrice on such a door is a magical act, to invite the mystery, the paradoxical and irrational into one’s life.

👍🏻I hate Grammarly. Uninteresting use of grammar and unsuited to my unique style of writing anyway.

Imagine his voice as a Cockney Henry's Cat. Old school London working class nasal.

Ain't half known some idiots in my time.
One fella, thick as shit, thought he was clever. Used to come out with things like:

If I had a wish, I wouldn't ask for money. No. I'd wish for the Arc de Triomphe!

You mean Ark of the Covenant?

Yeah.

(Power of God?)

I'd sell it for loads of money!

Eh?

I can't get me head round it when people don't know the difference between a tortoise and a turtle.

I met a fella once, never heard of a blue whale. When I told him about it, he thought I was pulling his leg. He was in his 30s. How do you go through life not knowing these things?

Rob the Bastard, Lord of Misrule @robtruestories.bsky.social · 1d

They'd have just put it in an even bigger box!

Rob the Bastard, Lord of Misrule @robtruestories.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah. Pointless.

Rob the Bastard, Lord of Misrule @robtruestories.bsky.social · 1d

Fierce indeed.

You read The Room by Hubert Selby Jr? A favourite of mine.

Bloody hell! Glad you made it back alright. At least it weren't the 70s, or there'd have been quicksand and a whirlpool n'all.

There’s a post the oldest selfie from your phone thing going round & I find the oldest selfie on mine is this one from 2017, taken in Philip Larkin’s shaving mirror, from a never completed project I was working on at the time, photographing my reflection & shadow in/on famous men’s possessions

Selfie of rose, a middle aged, white, midsize woman with pink hair in a beehive and big silver hooped earrings taken in a circular mirror against some patterned fabric

Can’t you see I got the blues?

Can you find me
Deep within
Hidden
inside the blue glitches
Of this so called realité?

I wonder if I'll get anything. My book was stolen by AI.

"Kaleidoscope" comes from Greek "kalos" (beautiful) + "eidos" (form) + "skopos" (watcher).
