Wisely abandoned a jacket that had a soft bit in the pocket that COULD'VE BEEN LINT or crumbs except I put an acorn in there 3 days ago and the acorn now has a hole in his head

(Someone just checked my pocket and pulled out a live grub 🥲)

My photo of a cow field and stream in soft sunlight. In the distance are old-timey houses and the woods that produced the acorn

Nooo if the bead holes were intact you could've washed them right? Like if he'd accidentally sat on them. Pets sit on everything...

Goldfinches love the forget-me-not seeds.

Stieglitz auf einem Blumenkasten, neben dem Vergissmeinnicht blühen, reckt sich mit geöffnetem Schnabel zu einem Samen.
Er wird teils von Stielen und Blüten verdeckt.

Gouda is lovely

The punishment for not getting cheese in Gouda is being crammed into a train that smells like armpit cheese

My photo of a small bridge covered in fuchsia flowers and peachy orangey balloons, built over a narrow canal half full of algae and other greenery. Background is small connected Dutch buildings

My photo of an empty road bordered in red bike paths with cyclists in far distance, next to a canal and row of colourful Dutch houses

My photo of a distant row of traditional Dutch houses raised over water, with tall reeds and grasses filling the foreground

My photo of a lone pheasant in the grass next to a green wire fence, behind which is gravel path

The more articles that come out about Alice Munro and her husband’s abuse of her daughter Andrea, the worse the surrounding content and details are revealed to have been.

Alice Munro’s Passive Voice

The celebrated writer’s partner sexually abused her daughter Andrea. The abuse transformed Munro’s fiction, but she left it to Andrea to confront the true story.
