I am still drunk not with wine, whiskey or beer; I am drunk with #EnolaHolmes2. Friends invited me over to watch it on their big screen last night, and I am overwhelmed with all the lovely, glorious detail I hadn't seen before. I am tipsy and I need to go sleep it off. Nap time.

After this year, all authors refuse to accept criticism that their villains are too mustache-twirlingly evil to be believable as actual human beings. ~signed all authors

In addition to DNF I want to propose NRN: Not Right Now. When you pick up a book that's great, hits all the right notes, but you're just not in the correct headspace for it at the moment and can't bring yourself to keep reading.

hey #WyrdWednesday, this is Tiddles, who was born on HMS Argus and later joined HMS Victorious where he served as the official Captain’s Cat during World War II. In his years in service, he travelled over 30,000 miles. That's right. Thirty. Thousand. Miles.

The Nebra Sky Disk is one of the most fascinating, and some would say controversial, archaeological finds of recent years. Dated to 1600 BCE, this bronze disk has a diameter of 32cm (about the size of a vinyl LP) and weighs around 2 kg. #FolkloreThursday ancient.eu/article/235/the-n…

Floyd Norman was the first African-American animator for Walt Disney. He began as an in-betweener on "Sleeping Beauty" & has since worked on every film from "The Jungle Book" to "Toy Story." At 81, he is still animating.
