I was in the Gower Street Waterstones today, asking about where to find books on neurodiversity. Got told they could be in any of three or four places depending on the type of book it is. Made me wonder, when a bookshop is that big, wouldn't using Dewey decimal be a better option? #books #bookstodon @bookstodon 📚

Hello! I want to do a Spooky Picture Prompt! So, find a picture in your camera roll that would represent the phrase:

Last Picture on the Camera Roll

This should be spooky, but completely up to your own interpretation. Here's one from me, with weird eclipse light.

Yeah, I went out in my homewear and sandals for emergency whisky and amaretto, what of it? 😳

Don't understand the colander pictures, have to say.

At totality from the various locations on the NASA live feed there seems to be about 6 large prominences protruding from the edge of the eclipsed Sun.

Sorry to sound churlish, but anyone who voluntarily names himself 'the hardest geezer' is a tit, I don't care what they've done.

Umm wtf is Waterfalls actually about:

A lonely mother gazin' out of the window
Staring at her son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
Another body layin' cold in the gutter, listen to me
Don't go chasin' waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Little precious has a natural obsession
For temptation but he just can't see
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
But all he can say is, "baby, it's good to me"
One day he goes and take a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Three letters took him to his final resting place, y'all don't hear me
Don't go chasin' waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Ah, c'mon
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and joined
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
I pray, all ten fade away, seldom praise Him for the sunny days
And like His promise is true, only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew
Clear and blue and unconditional
Skies have dried the tears from my eyes, no more lonely cries
My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope
With such an endurin' pain that it keeps them in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame for tootin' 'caine into your own vein
What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane and ain't this day and time for fallin'
Prey to crime I say the system got you victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of coming true
Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you
Don't go chasin' waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Oh, you're moving too fast
Don't go chasin' waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast

Despite the breeze, it's a Catford Bridge Tavern sun terrace kind of day. Book is The Psychopath Whisperer, which could've been a punchy introduction into the neuro research if it wasn't for his frequent vain diversions into mundane personal career details. 📖🍺 #pubs #books #bookstodon @bookstodon

FT Cray Valley (PM) 5 Burgess Hill Town 0. Bought some nobhead light bulbs after the match, and N has took off home, leaving me to have a swift celebratory #wine before tea. ⚽️ #football #MastodonFC #NonLeague #NonLeagueFootball #SouthEastLondon 🍷

Fuck me, Salome is perfect, though. I always sell it as the perfect introduction to #opera ahead of the usual Tosca and Carmen clichés. Modern, even now, challenging, doesn't outstay its welcome. Fucking magnificent music. Probably my favourite of all. Try it. 💿 #ClassicalMusic

Even my work phone gets scam calls now. From fucking Basingstoke, of all places. Interrupted my Pierrot Lunaire. And yet nothing ever happens to these cunts, even though we can pinpoint their phones. They should be hunted down and torn apart by wolves.

Pissing down on #CountyChampionship opening day. Might be a delay at Canterbury, unless it stops by 9am, but the Old Trafford forecast is looking like a washout. 😰🏏 #Cricket

Ooh, text from my mum to say that a birthday present for me will be arriving in the next few days. My birthday is not for three weeks. I wonder what it could be and why she’s sending it now?

Today appears to once again be 'middle-class parents show off your kids like you've done something fucking special day' in the pub again. Put them away. Nobody gives a fuck. Least of all you.

If I win tonight's lottery and become rich, I'm going to spend the rest of my sole glimpse of existence raging on social media at the impertinence of terrapins and the price of pickled onion Space Raiders nowadays. 👽🐢

Flash Scores has got the Larne goal as being scored by a Larne player, rather than the emphatic own goal it actually was. 🙄⚽️ #football #MastodonFC

Think in future I'll only mention #books I've been reading after I've finished them, or as I'm coming to the end, as it'll make me feel more free to ditch a book I'm not enjoying. 📖 #bookstodon @bookstodon

Random question: I saw Dune 2 a few nights ago and I have only ever read the first Herbert book so I have no frame of reference: was it close to the source material?

It was long and they barely even mention the sandworms other than just basically using them as a means of transportation.

Apparently I am a 'fucking shit sat nav'. Vital career advice there.

Clear skies over Gatwick. N calls these 'Simpsons clouds'. ☁️⛅🌤

You will need to pry this ricin from my cold, dead hands.
