Wolf had called at the Doctor's after breakfast & together they walked along the lanes away from the village, from the wreaths & hymns. Up Pooksdown they went & the Doctor smoked & Wolf was silent, for some things can't be spoken of, however much time has passed. #RemembranceDay
This is happening in an hour!
Join us tomorrow at 2:30pm ET for a @TwitterSpaces talk on Doctor Who.
We’re taking a spin in the TARDIS to look back at the Thirteenth Doctor and what her last season might look like.

AHHHH I LOVED THIS. Of the flood of baking-themed romances this year, it was one of my very favorites.
It’s the first night in ages that I haven’t had to read or watch or research for work and LOOK what just came in the mail FUCKING HUZZAH!!
I AM A HORROR WUSS so I am very proud of myself for soldiering on and putting this list together!

Looking forward to this!!
After the news, we bring you a Dune-filled hour, starting off with @npr books editor @petramatic, who joins to talk Herbert's iconic novel, and recommend some books that can fill the Dune-shaped hole in your life📚
🎙️Tune in live at 1:10 PM EST!
This was so much fun! And I said what I said: The AppleTV+ series is actually an AU fanfic.
Glen talks to @JoelleMonique and @petramatic about AppleTV+'s FOUNDATION, which is not so much a dutiful adaptation and more a radical re-imagining.
(Plus, pretty to look at, even if you take Lee Pace out of the mix, and really, why would you?)

Me and @emi19732006 about to lose our voices screaming along at the #Monkees farewell tour.
That's a great point about Gideon! I could see her as sort of in the line of Sabriel, though, uh, snottier. (All praise to @Sabine4242, who made the tunic & shirt, BTW -- the bells were a pattern I found online, and the terrible bandolier I hacked together myself with hot glue.)
For some reason, they let me on the main NPR insta feed to dork out about how much I love Garth Nix's Old Kingdom books. instagram.com/reel/CUvoxJ-AC…
