#FotoVorschlag - Objekte, die mit "D" beginnen oder so aussehen
Photo theme - Objects beginning with "D"
A tricky one to find actual objects beginning with D but then I remembered that everyone likes creepy vintage dolls staring at them from dark spaces. This doll was in a museum in Great Yarmouth in 2013 dedicated to items and life of yesteryear, but that museum has since closed down.

To get an idea of Saki’s range, read “The Lumber Room” & “Sredni Vashtar”. Both stories feature small boys, domineering aunts, & revenge; one is very funny, & the other is wildly unsettling. “The Lumber Room” is in BEASTS & SUPER-BEASTS, & “Sredni Vashtar” is in THE CHRONICLES OF CLOVIS

“Saki’s mother was killed by a cow when he was a child. If that doesn’t turn you into a writer with a morbid fascination with, and deep-seated fear of, the natural world, nothing will”
—Naomi Alderman on Saki’s razor-sharp & merciless stories

FERRETS CAN BE GODS
“Children in Saki are often victors in the battle against authority; his stories salute their boldness but have no truck with sentiment. The children are usually nasty, brutish and short, and loved for it.”
—Katherine Rundell on Saki, for the London Review of Books

“In story after story, epicene young men, difficult children, or wild beasts set out to shake up the stifling complacency around them”
Hector Hugh Munro (1870–1916) – Saki – was born #OTD, 18 Dec, in Myanmar. Although born in the Raj & raised in England, his parents were Scots & he considered himself to be a Scot, too. Fatema Ahmed looks at his fierce, funny, & wicked fiction

They returned to Scotland where Gabriela won the admiration of her husband’s society friends – Wilde, Yeats, Engels, & others – with her “slight accent, neither French nor Spanish, but most attractive and charming, as foreign accents sometimes can be, especially with ladies.”

*Updated.*
Hello. I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook closed their Basic Mobile site (not app). I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a huge gay rights supporter, but I stop short of using singular they and promoting the idea of more than two sexes, though you can certainly lean more towards one while being the other (as I do being a masculine woman), or change from one to the other via hormones, surgery etc. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.I am happily childfree and am not religious. I hardly ever write about politics. I tend to get along better with people older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, loneliness, etc. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, antiques, and interesting life stories.
This is my journal. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.
