@UrsulaV I love the thought of the Vikings who fell into Maeshowe's chambered cairn 800 years ago and covered it in graffiti: https://t.co/69eu5eLJmo - Maeshowe, built 2800 BC ish, is not meaningfully older to us than it was to them, yet they're already so long ago for us....

Working on edits, and my editor @KBSpangler has left the comment: Once. Just ONCE. Can you PLEASE have a sex scene that doesn't happen after crawling through filth, slime, sewers, hiding under amphibians, or covered in, and I'm quoting from Wonder Engine here, "torture goo"?

[Susannah @skittledog]

@AltYelloNatPark Shit, I'm so sorry about all of thise. Please know your account has always been one of my favourites on here, a pause for nature and thinking in the middle of the chaos. I'm glad you're still getting to be that.

@seatsixtyone hello quick question in case you know, I was looking at the Brussels-Berlin sleeper and noticed I can't book beyond 9th Dec - do you know if they plan to open bookings beyond then at some point? I fancied a Christmas market jaunt... :)

[Susannah @skittledog]

@JuliaSerano yup, lets me see a bit of the first one then asks me to subscribe.

Time is money. If it takes twice as long to do something you earn half as much. This is the brutal fact at the heart of Brexit.

Let’s "Brexit" a £12.99 paperback, blow by blow, and see what difference leaving the single market has made.

Disney+ removed both seasons of a show I’d staffed on from the platform, ensuring that I’ll never make another dollar in residuals from it, or be able to watch it again.

Mind you, the show gave them 11 Emmy Noms last year.

What’s “realistic” about that?

[Susannah @skittledog]

@Wangleberry yes. They piss me right off and if it was a single goose I would forget all about my own safety and just attempt to muller it.

500 Canadian soldiers have destroyed the centre of Aldershot, England, after rioting in protest at not being shipped home. 30,000 Canadians have been promised repatriation after fighting in Germany, but lack of ships has delayed passage.

Ticket office closures: A second thread.
Reading my first thread, you can see I was expecting proposals that were more rational, reasoned, co-ordinated. I was wrong... https://t.co/Oy4UdFDI3W

Ugghhhh, I am on day 14 of testing positive for Covid and I have RUN OUT of @kj_charles books to reread.

Hilariously, the rate limiting doesn't appear to apply across my account, but instead per device - each time I've been stopped from viewing on one device, if I switch to another I can see tweets again. This is horribly implemented....

@JudSawyer I once had a tin of golden syrup go very strange, I think the tin started rusting under all the syrup and it developed this black strata through the middle.... but usually yes, they're good for years.

[Susannah @skittledog]

@EPoe187 Dude, I worked in the railways as the only woman in an engineering department. Threw lads' banter back and forth with the best of them. Then I went to academia and.... nah. You 'may think' it's not misogynistic because can't see a systemic problem when it's under your nose...

[Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social @chrischirp]

this is terrible news

@OiShinyThings we're forecast 31 here in Cambridgeshire, and I, too, would prefer otherwise....
