9 August 2026 02:27 pm(How to explain Bobby Fingers? He makes incredibly detailed dioramas of culturally important moments. He is also Irish and... utterly unique. Trust me, whatever you expect from this video, you are not prepared for the places it goes.)
Two Dimash videos in 3 days??
3 August 2026 07:11 pmI am way behind, but let me try to catch up a little at least.
DIMASH QUDAIBERGEN - AQERKE [official music video]
This is another old folk song that he has adapted to pop. And yes, the video is very much meant to entice people to visit Kazakhstan. ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฟ
~
Dimash Qudaibergen - YAZGI (Mood Video)
This one appears to be a brand new composition by Dimash himself. Very mellow. ๐ฏ

Birthday <3
21 July 2026 08:15 pmToday is ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kerk_hiraeth's birthday!
Dear Kerk, I wish you all the best for the year ahead and hope that one or two people stop by your journal to give you some love, or leave a little comment or three.
And I went and found a Terry Pratchett quote:
โA good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read.โ
Here is to many more bookshops, and many more books!

How We Beat The Fascists Last Time
16 July 2026 06:24 pmBy J Draper. And no, this isn't about WW2. (It's about the National Front in the '70s.)
Not a fix-it
13 July 2026 07:15 pmBut something adjacent:
The Gang Watches Good Omens Season Three by MxMaxZephyrus
Summary: Aziraphale and Crowley, along with Gabriel, Beelzebub, Eric, and Muriel sit down for a watch party of the Good Omens Finale. They arenโt impressed.

Farage vs Binface
9 July 2026 07:17 amA little explainer for people overseas who are wondering wtf is happening in UK politics at the moment. The video freezes a little way in, but the sound is fine which is the main thing. ETA: OK IT WORKS PROPERLY NOW.
And here is a little interview with Count Binface himself. ๐๐
ETA: OK, I couldn't help myself...
MPs make fun of Farage resigning

For the Americans, a history short that popped up in my suggested:
(Although I think something went wrong with the embed. Here is the direct link: What did ordinary British people think about the American Revolution?)
ETA: And then Tumblr threw its 4th of July post at me! TIL โYankee Doodleโ was written by the British to mock americans.
^very funny, go read. If you can't access it for some reason just let me know & I can copy and paste it.

Petition: Love Is Not a Crime!
Last year, the police raided our rented home, arrested us and dragged us into a nightmare no one should ever face - all because, in Uganda, our love can be punished by life in prison or death.
As I write to you, we have been released on bail. But we are not free. Now, we have less than a week to convince the government to drop the charges.

28 June 2026 09:03 amCount Binface meets Andy Burhham!
ETA: OK, adding this one also. I hate the use of the word 'destroys', but it may actually be accurate this time. Alan Partridge couldn't have done this better, the cringe is off the scale.

Annyeong ( ์๋
)* (written as a coda & tribute) by kerk_hiraeth
I ~ Annyeong, We who both met and parted
II ~ Annyeong, We who have neither met nor parted
Technically drabbles as both are 100 words, but I would term them poems.

A few things...
21 June 2026 07:42 pmFirstly, I have 5 invitations for the SquidgeWorld. (It's an AO3 clone, if you are not familiar.) If anyone is interested, just DM me. :)

And a bit of 'politics'... (I don't know that I have ever seen anyone as clueless or useless as this reporter)
~
Now everything is football right now (and I am sure we have all seen the fun videos about the Scots drinking Boston dry), so here is something a little different:
I think there was something else, but I can't remember. It's very warm...

15 June 2026 05:55 pmIn Memoriam: Some Fic reposts for Anthony Head, by kerk_hiraeth:
Footprints
SUMMARY: "Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same." Flavia Weedn (1929-2015).
250 words
Ophelia; She is Not
AU story. Characters: Nancy (from The Wish); Buffy Summers; Cordelia Chase; Rupert Giles;
1,800 words
In the Still of the Night
SUMMARY: There's more than one of my buffyverses this could fit in; certainly not canon, as all of mine have Sunnydale; right next to the Pacific Ocean, filled with water and not a dry hole in the middle of the desert.
500 words
