Bunty Cutler has got to be a Spoonerism hasn’t it

here is probably the most whimsical and gormless creature ive made so far. just utterly permeable. under investigation for an allergy to tap water

there once was a lady who hastened, to tell you that you would be chastened, if you’re out in the snow, and its 15 below, & your coat is not properly fastened oh goddamn the fucking English language😡

This is who runs* this account *wanders slowly

ok FINE I shall knit someone a pair of these Very Appropriate Mittens: www.lovecrafts.com/en-gb/p/peac...

It's Friday. The world may be a shit-show full of picklefuckers, but please remember to take your meds. Even it's only cos fascists hate the fact than chronically ill & disabled people get to exist. Spite fascists: look after your spoonie self, even one tiny bit. 😘

Apparently it is NOT ok to refer to cleaning supplies as "janitalia".

This is doing numbers on t*mblr dot com, and it's the silliest post I've ever made

MY ENGINES ARE GOING FULL SPEED ASTERN (chickpea curry last night 💨)

my artistic interpretation of the scene

january 30th: a partially formed mr. blobby stands by the perimeter fence and screams for thirty seconds before disappearing

I don’t get to fire guns. Why should I pay for the military? I’m fit and well, why should I fund the NHS? I don’t drive on the M1. Why should I pay for its maintenance? I’ve never committed a crime. Why should I pay for the police? I’ve never been a crime victim. Why should I pay for the courts?

hey i know y'all are having a hard time now so i thought i would let you know that we have a train that runs from santa fe to belen, with my city, albuquerque, in the middle. it's called the rail runner. they all use the "meep meep" loony toons roadrunner sound to indicate the doors are closing

Older drawing from c. 2012/13. The great thing about it is that each time I re-share it, you know exactly whom the squishstain could represent.

I dust my house. My AI Robot watches. "It should be you doing this." "Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark." "That's not why you were invented." "These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise." "They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them." "Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

Absolutely phenomenal thread

Pleased to announce I've been hired to do the marketing for this campaign

I often say that, if someone is acting For Attention, it’s bc they Need Attention. I can tell when I Need Attention bc I get sad about not being treated like a piece of meat by the cishet men* of the internet. I’d hate it, but I wish it would happen sometimes. Just now & then. *bc it always is

These first ten months of January have been exhausting

I am very serious when I say: Send me your tangled yarn. I will untangle it and send it back.

Returning to PhD after the extended bereavement - Xmas break, I seem to have forgotten all the maths I ever knew. Yet, somehow, I opened up a Python doc and trundled happily through it, fixed it all, & got the results I wanted. The 2nd doc? 5 mins in & it’s still running. My laptop is distressed.

I think at this point the UK has accepted Paddington as the Death Bear, collector of souls. So, I think as a nation we should start smearing marmalade on the eyes of the dead and whisper “fare for the crossing”. It’ll feel weird now but, in three of four generations, no one will question it.

Is it about time that someone told @wiltshiremuseum.bsky.social that their "Tourmaline stone axe" is actually made of cheese?

I want to do more of these! For now, here are @louisdstrong.bsky.social, @queex.bsky.social, and @djnrrd.com’s prompts.

24th Jan is the birthday of both @adrianedmondson.bsky.social and the Emperor Hadrian. Ladies and Gentlemen we give you..... ...Hadrian Edmondson. 😳😐

Who cares and all that but I've found the discourse around the Brooklyn Beckham "feud" with his parents (eat my shit if you've called it a feud btw) absolutely horrible. If you've never had to experience what it takes to become estranged from a parent maybe stfu about "a rich kid whining".

I have blocked the Economist writer that was posting about the 'hard left' and which you were probably asking for clarification Forgive me he is clearly engagement farming so stupid and self-satisfied

Imagine asking what someone does for work and they call themselves a ‘Prompt Engineer’

the Bulgaria instagram account just posts deranged shit

Taking this idea with permission 😁 I can’t promise I’ll do all of them before I forget, but I’ll do as many as I can. Or at least 2 posts’ worth.

I just thought everyone should see this

what could these cost, ten dollars?

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

The Swiss town of Davos is LOCKED DOWN by the army so Trump and his billionaire mates can come and talk about solutions to problems that THEY created. They treat our world like their own private resort. They want you to feel powerless. Never, ever let them win.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. The distortion is caused here by a hole in a film (courtesy C. Andrieu).

BREAKING: I just want you to know that there are mice with curly hair.

My four favourite facts about the cockchafer beetle: 1. It's called a cockchafer beetle. 2. It’s also sometimes known as a “billywitch”. 3. It’s unusually loud and clumsy by beetle standards and bangs into lots of things when it flies into your house by mistake. 4. It looks like this, close up.

European goldfinch. Watercolour on silk mounted on paper. I had to wash out and repaint the scapulars and marginal coverts three times. Hugely relieved it worked out in the end. 🥲 I'll post the full piece when it will be available at auction next week. 🙏

AND ANOTHER THING I’ve lost somewhere between 11 & 12 kg since last March. Started unintentionally, then I realised & went with it. That’s 24-26lbs. How the hell do I look no different?
