Word of this morning is ‘procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.

Today's rabbit hole involved reading how Samuel Taylor Coleridge was interested in Hebrew and Kabbalah. Drawing parallels between Christabel and the Biblical Deborah reminded me I was named after her. Drawn to the Kabbalah in my younger years, to say I was born for this is an understatement 🫢

I'm on the bus home from uni and we're running off timetable, the top deck is taped off, there's a weird smell and the driver keeps stopping to make phone calls. Place your bets for abuse exchange.

There are places that exist as a form of lingering, psychic terrorism. Places that remember the hurt and harms done upon them. In such fields, caution is needed. A simple word may transform its stored anguish into restless shadows that wear knives for fingers. – #DAKilroy

I’m copy-editing my book on the first #LGBTQ (gay/ #trans) rights movement, circa 1900-1933. It begins with hope for a new century. It ends with Nazis. And it looks like 2000-2023, with an election to determine if our remaining ten years will bend toward justice or #fascism. INTERMEDIARIES, May 2025

Sorting out some 1970s cookery books for sale on eBay and found a recipe my mum had written out. That's so mum. Putting a recipe in a recipe book.

I bought this edition of Immanuel Kant's Critique from a charity shop. It was a bargain compared to the £111 price tag for a new or £30 for a good secondhand copy. A bargain because it had been highlighted, annotated, and dedicated in sharpie, highlighter, pen and pencil but who are Minnie & Rusty?

Today's literary musing is Wide World Magazine, a British periodical sold between 1898 & 1965. Known for thrilling, adventurous content - 'true' stories of exploration travel and adventure from around the globe. Its content is 'of its time' but was my dad's favourite read growing up in the 1930's

Literary things on my mind this week include Rosa Mulholland, an Irish novelist, poet and playwright born in Belfast in 1841 who died in 1921. She was a prolific writer during the 19th and early 20th centuries, producing a significant body of work that included novels, short stories, and plays.
