My favourite Gothic pix.

The church of St Mary Abbots in Kensington, taken on a dark November day. The church is to the right, and in the centre of the photo - virtually monochrome - is a spidery tree, reduced to seedpods and twigs. In the foreground, the spikes of a railing mix with other trees, giving an impression of dark and gloom.

Across the centre of the picture stretch a wooden fence, topped with barbed wire, and a barred gate. The leaves of a tree stretch down from above. Through the fence appears a grassy field, stretching into thickening mist and more trees.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I've never knitted a sock before.

Madame Decadent Sneezy-Bottom @darklyadapted.bsky.social · 14h

I didn't know there was a thing called #Socktober, but here I am knitting my first ever sock.

The tattoo's not THERE. It's not somewhere RESPECTABLE.

Madame Decadent Sneezy-Bottom @darklyadapted.bsky.social · 15h

Sounds positively rorty.

Did you have them at home or did you go out?

Madame Decadent Sneezy-Bottom @darklyadapted.bsky.social · 15h

Made some friends IRL.
Got gifts and books bought for me at Christmas.
Laughed till I cried most days.
Found out about all kinds of stuff I didn't know.
Seen loads of fabulous art and bought some of it too.
Realised there are loas of people in the world like me.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Badge of honour, innit?

When it’s sewn up, maybe. It’s in the conservative drying off in bits at the moment.

Well. I have finished knitting the cardigan I've been knitting for a couple of years, except for the button band and sewing it togethr. Blocking it as we speak. It's wobbly in places, but will keep me warm and additionally I have enough yarn left for a couple of hats, which is nice.

They also make us want to think and do things that do not specifically involve making money.

My delivery was delivered midway plus 7 minutes into the slot time so I'm calling that a win. I was genuinely expecting it to arrive about 19.50.

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…

Happy birthday!

Madame Decadent Sneezy-Bottom @darklyadapted.bsky.social · 19h

Yes, it weeds out the grockles, for a start!

Hey, I've got joint honours modern languages.

Yes, really. No regrets.

I'm very glad I had my COVID vaccination two weeks ago so it's at its most potent at the moment.

This is the third day of this headache.

Unless, of course, it's negative anyway
