Breaking my hiatus to bring everyone’s attention to the fact that Cornwall is now attempting to be officially recognised as a nation within the United Kingdom.

Kernow has its own language, culture, history and identity. The language was forcibly removed by the English until the last monolingual speaker died in 1777–her name was Dolly Pentreath. It has existed as a kingdom before England had ever existed. Historically, Cornwall has been a place exploited for minerals and resources and labour. Currently, it still is. There are now ghost towns where once thriving fishing villages stood (Mousehole, Pentreath’s home, was one of these). Cornwall is now a playground for second home owners who drive up house and rent prices and drive out permanent residents and workers. Local businesses go out of business and struggle to stay afloat when the influx of tourists come who only purchase from supermarkets, putting nothing into the local economy. There is a long, long and often very gruesome and bloody history behind this—leaders of rebellions executed all the way into 1715.

If you are in the UK, and sign the petition to get this to a debate in Parliament.

Can you spare 60 seconds to sign

Sometimes reading Arthuriana feels like reading Alice in Wonderland.

“Well,” said Alice, “these are a dreadfully strange assortment of objects!”

“They all symbolize different aspects of Our Lord’s martyrdom,” said the Fisher King, casting a line into his teacup.

“Indeed. I am sure everything symbolizes something else, for if everything was only itself I should be very confused. Might I ask what the point of the bleeding lance is?”

Alice regretted asking the question as soon as she had done so, for she saw the pun that would likely be made about the word point. Instead, however, the room erupted in applause and shouts of “The Grail! She has achieved the Grail!”

The next castle she visited, Alice resolved to herself as the inhabitants of this one danced for joy, would be more sensible.

Audio Drama Sunday - 3rd August ✨

 I finished up NQD this week and I can’t stop thinking about it! Easily my favourite addition to the world of vampiric audio dramas so far!! 

🍎 @notquitedeadpod I listened through to the finale. My heart *hurts* and I don’t really have words to explain what a satisfying ending this was. Alfie pointed out very early in the finale that Bonham’s lab was all theatre. It shouldn’t have been surprising that the science was a performance as well. God, what a rollercoaster of emotions (I actually felt like I couldn’t breathe listening to Alfie’s panic at times) but ending on such a soft note of gentle hope for the future. There is so much I've adored about this show, it’s so great to be able to add the ending to that list! Definitely looking forward to whatever is next! 

🏴‍☠️ @levianpodcast-desperado (1.7-1.8) I love it when audio drama lets me have conversations like this in real life:

Me: hey, guess what I learned today?  Wife: what?  Me: The shark man in my fantasy podcast has internalised homophobia  Wife: . . . I’m not sure I understand, but I’m happy for you. 

🧳 Travelling Light @monstrousproductions (53) WHY have you not spoken to Óli in TWO WEEKS? Aside from that, this episode is the first time I’ve really, truly considered just how different the Traveller would be if they had instead taken that other path and boarded the Guillemot way back when. I mean, probably still creating trouble and in moral quandaries, but damn!! 

🐏 @landsendpod (03) I can’t believe I haven’t heard more people talking about this show - it’s so good!! Isaac is a freak (cautiously affectionate) and I’m looking forward to finding out what he makes of the herd. Assuming the Shepherd can free himself from this trap!! 

🧛🏻‍♂️ @theholmwoodfoundation (03-04) Actually obsesseddd with Mina standing up for herself and refusing to be spoken over. My QUEEN. Taking that energy into my new job for SURE. I really like Tom and, for all his insane privilege, I’m sorry that he’s been dragged into all this! It did make me laugh that he was complaining about being an emergency contact whilst being an objectively good port of call in an actual emergency! I went crazy at the cliffhanger at the end of episode 3. I’m just not sure I trust Arthur!! (Which is really convenient for me bc I think Jeremy and Maddie might be endgame in about 10 eps time hehe) 

🥊 @killjamxxx (09) Bellamy backstory!!!!!! I think he’s been hiding a serious jammer skillset… Actually, I think he’s hiding a lot… I love Faustina’s moral outrage (me too girl, me too) and I’m SO excited to meet Ms Konda in the next ep! What could go wrong?? 

Have (listen) a (to) good (not) week (quite), friends (dead)!!

THEY FOUND THE WHITE WITCH CATERPILLAR! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

For context: the white witch is one of the contenders for the largest moth in the world (biggest *wingspan*--loses to the atlas in terms of wing surface area, and loses to the regal for weight). It has a huge range, and the adult is fairly common.

But no one had ever seen a caterpillar. At all. There were only guesses as to what it might look like and what it ate. until this year. These are some of the first images ever taken of it!!
