Speechless #RestInPeace Captain. A respected son of Yorkshire. Thinking of Sir Ian McKellan this evening, he’s just lost a dear friend

The more you read it, the more you find. Art is like that. Sometimes you sing along a song for decades and one day, for whatever reason, the lyrics finally reveal their true nature. Film is like that.
Guillermo del Toro made me obsessed with Frankenstein, I read the book three times 🖤 #frankenstein #guillermodeltoro #film

Every single year, autumn takes my breath away. I always write it off as the harbinger of the dark days of winter and forget just how perfect it is, with its gentle, unassuming beauty. Walking on this quiet path, all around me was the drip of mist from the leaves, a soft light that fell so slowly, and gold, gold, gold, everywhere I looked.

I am for witchcraft of hierarchical disruption, witchcraft of connective relationships to the spirits of place. I am for guerilla covens, feral magics. A community of radical strangeness. In root, thorn and salt-wind kisses I find my truths, I find my powers. – #EmilyCBanting

In Roman/Greek mythology, Pheme (also known as Ossa) is the divine personification of fame, renown, and rumors.
As a daughter of Gaia or Elpis, this winged deity represents a distinct "two-sided nature" where those in her favor receive notability and praise, while those subject to her wrath are haunted by scandalous gossip.
She initiates communication by prying into affairs, starting as a quiet whisper that grows increasingly louder until it saturates the public space. Commonly depicted in classical art with wings and a trumpet, she is also famously portrayed leading or riding the winged horse Pegasus.
