I am here to discuss music, literature, and condemn the appalling genocide in #Gaza. I have no interest in publicly engaging with people I cut off contact with years ago. In the words of Brian May: "In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose
The lessons we have learned."
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose
The lessons we have learned."

Will the Beatles industry ever let it be?
I love the band. But this incessant anthologising, dismantling and rebuilding is straining things

There's something deeply spiritual about Thomas Walsh's work. I recommend everyone closes their eyes, and let the words float over them. #Meditation

A tenet of religion is altruism; it's a shame religious leaders have neglected it. Man is capable of more than destruction and incessant hatred.

Well said. Unfortunately, Rowling didn't apply that to Order of the Phoenix!
Unsolicited writing advice, no. 33788:
Don't front-load your work with unnecessary backstory and intricate worldbuilding. Give your readers only as much as they need to engage with the plot and characters, and let them discover the rest as and when they need it...
