Rin the duck, looking very fine in his full display plumage!
Me in my cherry motif dress curtsying by the mirror There are bits of various detritus of everyday life around me, as this is by the back door including a metre rule which probably neatly demonstrates to the mathematically minded how small I am (only 1.6m tall) Anyway—I am in a black Elsie style dress and high black heels
Me in a silk paisley style dress—mid calf length, also a blue shawl and a blue hat
My photo of Lake Vouliagmeni—it is a lake formed where an underground cavern collapsed The lake has caves (uncharted) leading off from it! It’s very very uncanny And there are fish that eat the dead skin from your feet! 🐟🦶🐟
Text from Hogfather: "The goose was good,' said the Duck Man, picking his teeth. I'm surprised you et it, what with that duck on your head,' said Coffin Henry, picking his nose. 'What duck?' said the Duck Man. 'What were that greasy stuff?' said Arnold Sideways. "That, my dear fellow, was pâté de foie gras. All the way from Genua, I'll wager. And very good, too.'

Me in a light green HellBunny dress —it has Frida Kahlo sugar skulls and hearts and eyes motifs! Funnily enough I saw another (much much younger) woman wearing a WHITE HellBunny dress which I also own now but which I need white underwear for (mine is mostly black and floral designs) as I crossed the railway bridge and I shouted out “I love your dress! I just bought the same design!” And she shouted back that she also had the dress I was wearing (so the one pictured) so HellBunny camaraderie! Solidarity! Sorority! (Gender neutral version as everyone should be able to wear dresses if they want)

Part of an impressively unhinged substack post about my successful attempt to get Neil Z Miller’s execrable “vaccines cause SIDS” paper (spoiler: they do not) Text reads: This threadreaderapp.com link provided by the Editor-in-Chief, Lawrence H. Lash, is sourced from a tweet (not a science blog) made on Nov 3, 2021 at 5:38 am, by a person with the username "Rosewind", and corresponding handle Rosewind2007. She/her is a UK-based female, and a self-proclaimed "Murderbot". I am not entirely sure what being a "Murderbot" entails, but I know what murder means, and I know what a bot is. Yes, that's her in the photo.
My rosewind dress fabric: A skull (I love skulls) with sugarskull design with crossed vaccine needles (vaccines work!) and roses (rose) and behind it a windrose (little pun there)… The fabric was for a Halloween dress
TV show Murderbot and Gurathin. Overlaid text reads: we didn't see you from across the bar because we were so consumed with each other that your vibe was a mere blip on the radar of our psycho-obsessive, high-stakes, mutually assured delusion.

"The Lottery" (1948) by Shirley Jackson The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 2th. but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.
Me in a black body on dress, yellow shawl and massive yellow hat with black trim, also yellow sunglasses
