#oilpastel #thelovewitch this 2018 movie was so striking. It felt like watching a film from the 1960s or 70s from the length of shots to the acting style and colors! When I was in the mood for a Valentine’s themed painting, I immediately thought of the live witch #witchy

That’s fair. I conflated Hemingway’s own faffing with the works he made.

I don’t think it’s around Europe exclusively, but “you shall know our velocity” certainly has heft. Technically, would “a Farewell to Arms” count?

On other news, ICE is now straight up murdering people.

A white sign with a blue dog. The dog has wings and a magic wand. The sign says, There Is No Poop Fairy, please clean up after your pet.

Pick up yer shit !! Oh, and Happy New Year 🥳

I loved this book by Leigh Bardugo #thefamiliar #books a romantic adventure set during the Inquisition

Dear @twistedspinebooks.bsky.social , is there anything we can do to help you recover from flooding damages? I tried to visit yesterday and saw you were closed for renovations due to flooding. How can your readers help? Thanks a bunch!
