People who have fruit trees (apples, pears, plums, cherries etc) in their front yard and just let the fruit rot on the tree. If you don’t want it, just put a sign up that says FREE FRUIT, HELP YOURSELF. I hate seeing food wasted!

I haven’t seen the new film ‘Rental Family’ yet. But for those who have and are interested in something similar, check out the 2020 film ‘Family Romance, LLC’ written and directed by Werner Herzog. Beautiful film. I believe it can be seen for free on Mubi at the moment in Canada. #FilmSky

This is a great article about the rise of "microcinemas," particularly those doing retrospecitve/repertory screenings.

The article explains the economics of running a microcinema and also explains the social forces driving the trend. It argues that Letterboxd creates FOMO for cinephiles!

At that point in the year where I just want to curl up on the sofa under a blanket and eat never ending bowls of soup and knit and watch movies with my cats. Let me know when it is safe to engage with society in the daylight again.

Helping #KnitSky #BlackCat #CatSky
A large black cat is stretching out his paw to touch the mustard coloured mohair silk yarn I am knitting with. In the background is our Christmas Tree with the multicoloured lights glowing. The cat is laying out on my lap which has a blue knit blanket on it. My notebook is open as I make notes to keep track of what row I am on.

RIP to the magnificent, beautiful and deeply bananas Udo Kier. Everyone I know who has met him, no matter how glancingly, has their Udo Kier Story. May we all live half such enormous, outrageous lives.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.
Dale Partridge on Twitter writes: "Feminist media is BIG mad about me saying that women shouldn’t wear underwear (leggings and sports bras) as outerwear. As Pearl says, “It’s amazing how hard women will fight to be naked.” Immodest ladies, read 1 Tim. 2:9, repent, and follow Christ." Attached are two images. Image 1 headline: “Outraged pastor slams worker at quaint coffee shop for wearing ‘sinful’ leggings and sports bra in front of kids” Image 2 headline: “‘Make sin shameful again’: Pastor sparks row after sports bra complaint”
