ex-Local Government, movie junkie, short story writer, editor & filmmaker - I follow loads of people for a variety of reasons; I don't expect you to follow back
What it is, why to do it, how to do it, with links to take action. Logically structured and informative; it's a great information & call to action website. They've done a really good job :-)
If they wanted to expand it, something on worms would be ace, but it's brilliant as it is

I know nothing about Byzantine social and domestic hierarchies... but couldn't help thinking, "y'know, that's a good question; factotum, steward, castellan, what was the right term?" have now fallen down a very deep rabbithole and find myself subscribed to Jstor again... 😆

I think if you'd had the flower quietly whisper: "You suck." I would have wet myself laughing... actually sitting giggling at just the thought of it 😆

Brilliant! 😁 "You can do it!... We believe in you!... *flies buzzing*..." genuine laugh out loud moment 🤣

My mum still has our old Vectrex in the loft 😁

32 years ago, I lost 3 months of design and technology A level coursework, when one of the upper-sixth pupils knocked over a cup of aluminium powder from a wind-tunnel project, and it landed on my section of the workbench and got scattered onto my little box of discs... i'm still bitter 😁

3 days of my brothers and I typing out BASIC on a Sinclair Spectrum, copied line by line from a games magazine, unable to save it to tape until we'd finished, and my mum unplugged the computer to do the hoovering... still traumatised 😆

I did improve, honest! (Just thought I should add that in my defence)

I have to confess to using "murine micturations" into a scene where a cat is exploring a kitchen cupboard in an old man's house 😆 ... the comments section on this post has me feeling very, very guilty 😅

I am soooo guilty of this. My undergraduate portfolio was practically a case study in shoe-horning archaic and obscure words and terms into inappropriate contexts 😁

Absolutely- my autistic spectrum son experiences spikes of excruciating empathy, such that he can't comfortably watch "cringe" comedy - even things like The Office have him leaving the room. My autistic spectrum partner has been moved to tears by news reports, movies, and music.

There is something so very Hookland about these little candle driven carousels 😁
