Can I offer you a nice mole in these trying times?
you sound like a starship's central computer that has little grasp on what humans find enjoyable
that’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me
PSA: Please don't hold moles like that
I’m not “holding” the mole.
The mole bit the stick as I was saving it from a dog. When they bite down, they do not readily let go, and you are able to transport them to safety.
So really it is the mole that is holding you

I’m editing a sexy scene in Phangs rn and this line emerged from the depths of the mental fugue I was struggling through over the last two years and damn near killed me:
“the tell-tale bob of his cock”.
The Tell-Tale Bob Of His Cock.
What kind of Poe-esque Gothic horror porn nonsense… 😂🤣
Dad: “Would you like an obsidian-blade knife for your birthday?” Me: “Where would I put it?” Dad: “In the belly of your enemy, obviously. What kind of child have I raised?! Wet it with the blood of your foes or don’t come home.”
well… it’s my birthday and he got me the knife…
…you know what this means

This is a form of divination, you know.
The Hôtel Potocki is a former residence of the noble Polish family Potocki in Paris.
The palace was once the place of the fashion salon of Countess Emanuela Potocka.
Today, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Paris - Ile-de-France region is based there.

why isn’t there a short film based on the thing where diana wynne jones refused to drop out of tolkien’s college class even though he was intentionally making it as boring and dense and unintelligible as possible so that everyone would drop out and he could get out of teaching it and write lotr instead. just imagine the potential of a 1940s Female College Student sitting in an empty classroom with Secretly Furious professor resentfully lecturing a meandering incomprehensible stream-of-consciousness inner monologue about The Structure of Narrative to this kid determined to get her money’s worth out of this chump. and them both getting way more personal and intellectual development out of this song-and-dance than they thought they would. hey guys why isn’t there a
I love this idea. In our world Diana (1950s, Tolkien was working on The Return Of the King) went every week. In the end it was just her and one other man. Tolkien wanted them both to quit because if nobody turned up for one lecture he got the rest of the term off to write. So his lectures were not actually student friendly, delivered as they were inaudibly to the blackboard. (She said it wasn’t the denseness so much as the pipe in his teeth, that you couldn’t see his mouth or hear exactly what he was saying, and he seemed to be talking to himself. The bits she could make out were fascinating but they were few and far between.)
Meanwhile, Diana told me, CS Lewis was a rock star, delivering his lectures in the biggest hall at Oxford, with students hanging from the rafters.
In the story world, Diana would be the only student. And she’d do a deal with Tolkien, to learn Story Things out of class, in exchange for not coming any more.
Except... I like that Diana became the best writer of magic, possibly the best children’s author ever, all on her own. She didn’t need Tolkien magic or CS Lewis magic. She just needed to be irritated by the books she was reading her children, and determined to write better. And it took her a couple of books until she got there. But she did.
With all respect to Tolkein, whose work IS brilliant, if I have to choose between one of his books, and one of Diana Wynne Jones book’s it’s not even a close contest.
The range of her imagination; Parallel worlds with a magical guardian best knwon for his magnificent waistcoat (Probably a Time Lord... Oh God, David Tennant as Chrestomanci!!!), Norse deities! Beings who “farm” the abstract elements of urban life! Howls Moving Castle, Children getting hold of an Alchemistry set! And the accessibility of her prose was a wonderful thing to find as a child..
Somehow it didnt occur to me that British authors are as chummy as British actors, and I had to Take a Moment to process that Neil Gaiman *met* Dianna Wynne Jones!!!!!!!!
More than met. We were good friends for 25 years. She grew me from a bean. I still miss her.
This is what I wrote when she died. (The Doctor Who episode I wouldn't tell them the name of was The Doctor's Wife.)
I'm in the UK right now, in the middle of nowhere, working on Monkey, about to go offline for a few days. I came over to do three things: t
Oracle of Delphi, Greece.
Temple of Apollo in Dídima (Turkey). It is among the best preserved buildings in Antiquity. The oracle of Dídima was the most renowned of the Hellenistic period. Dídima was, with Delphi, Dodona and Claros, one of the most important Greek oracles.
The sanctuary prospered until the end of the 1st to 2nd century.
The Palazzo Vecchio (1299-1314) is located in the Piazza della Signoria, in Florence, Italy. Inside,the palace houses a museum in which works by Bronzino, Miguel Ángel and Giorgio Vasari…are exhibited.The Hall of the Five Hundred stands out,whose mural decoration is by da Vinci Between 1540 and 1565 it was the residence of Duke Cosme I de Médici, who commissioned the artist Battista del Tasso to enlarge the palace. The name Palazzo Vecchio was officially adopted when Duke Cosme I and his wife Leonor Álvarez de Toledo moved to their new residence, the Pitti Palace in 1565.
