this would be not great if the British Library wasn’t notorious for demanding ridiculous levels of ID evidence from its readers for registration. as it is, however, it is truly truly atrocious. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67544504 #BritishLibrary @bookstodon

Oh look - yet another author who's written a #SciFi novel, but can't bring themselves to admit this.

After all, 'serious' novelists wouldn't dirty themselves with something as vulgar as that, would they? Who'd invite them to cocktail parties? Long live the Posh vs. Tosh false dichotomy.

It might be worth keeping in mind that certain herbs can assist with keeping ex-boyfriends away.

Help save Webcomic Name "oh no!" blob?

Alex Norris has been giving us all joy and giggles with their lovely pink blob for a long time; for many years now, they've been fighting a legal battle with a shitty publisher that has pulled an outrageous rights grab.

Alex have a fundraising deadline on Monday October 9th to continue fighting for their rights. Can you help? No amount is too small.

Note to myself: The reception of Smith is different to the reception of The Smiths. Don't mix Adam with rock bands. @histodons #histodons

In further sad news, #Wrestling and #Horror icon #WindhamRotunda, who wrestled under the nom de plum, #BrayWyatt, has died of a heart attack at only 36.

A talented and unique talent, and one who exploited to the full the storytelling potential of #ProWrestling gimmicks.

Worse, #Covid played a part in this, by exacerbating an existing heart condition. It is not over.

Apparently, the #DailyMail has just launched "Woke Watch", where red faced pillocks send in angry e-mails, complaining about transgender asylum seekers giving their house prices pronoun cancer, or something.

Anyway, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should one e-mail [email protected] to #Troll, #Shitpost or just plain take the piss. No, that would be WRONG. Oh, for shame!
