@kashjoace assuming ur not doing a bit, those are gardening sheers dude. But hollywood doesn't like "edward gardeningsheers hands" because theyre afraid of actual human stories

Anyway, I'm delighted that they gave the Nobel to a writer whose major work is about "How do you live in a world where the state can just murder an unaccountable number of people, just massacre them, and then nothing changes, how can you live, how can you live"

Han Kang was a big but welcome surprise for the Nobel. I've only read The Vegetarian (채식주의자, 2007) — and strongly recommend it. A magnificently bizarre, sensual novel which is also a deeply moving study of trauma & vulnerability, it's a reading experience you'll not forget.

Andrew Ridgeley says it’s exactly 10 years since Club Tropicana’s new ownership scrapped the free drinks deal.

Starting a novel is opening a door on a misty landscape; you can see very little but you can smell the earth and feel the wind blowing.

At what point did Poirot deal with a giant fly with a face?? This is like Christie on Crack.

what’s so great about UK architecture is how it’s not built for warm weather but it’s not built for the cold either 🥰

My ducks may not be in a row, but at least they're having fun. Your ducks probably hate you for making them line up like that.
