Was this the thread on #ThresholdDay that we wanted? No. Was it the thread on #ThresholdDay that we didn’t know we needed? Maybe? I guess?

Even if you are not kind, but merely want to double the chances that people on here will share your post, you can pretend to be kind.

Tickets booked! Some things are worth going through to Edinburgh for…

Everything is terrible, but this tiny menace had a retest of her senior blood panel this weekend and the results came back totally normal today, which I couldn’t be more grateful for.

I would sign this petition. It’s so dark outside and I am so tired.

It’s not a want, it’s a need.

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

Heated Rivalry [2025]

As a treat on your Friday, please make sure to scroll to the top of this thread to thoroughly enjoy just how much these cats (there’s two! A twist!) do not live in this house.

“A teachable moment” - delightful stuff. Alright, I really enjoyed that first episode. There’s a lot to like, a lot I’m interested to see where they take, and the set design is gorgeous (the green tiles at the fireplace? My god!). #StarfleetAcademy

This proper tickled me, while also making me feel like I was 12 again. #StarfleetAcademy

The scream I just scrumpt, despite knowing full well @robertpicardo.bsky.social was in #StarfleetAcademy. And of course I paused it to look for @drerinmac.bsky.social as admiral.

Oooh, that was niiiiice. A 40 minute recovery run, with Jupiter making a cameo, after a(nother) wfh day was very much needed. I am still running, but the last few have been on a treadmill and no one needs to see the aftermath of that. #RunningPunks

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

In case you were worried about my plans for nutrition on my runs, I’m obviously taking advice from expert coaches, who inspected my purchases carefully and thoroughly.

“But running is such a cheap sport, it’s great, and obviously it’s so good for you”, she says as she spends a bloody fortune on bloody portable snacks for this block of training so she doesn’t end up with sodding ocular migraines midway through the half marathon.

I've been sitting on this for over a month...but given how cross I am with @royalsociety.org at their ongoing inaction over #Elon #Musk I thought I'd share this. They invited me to serve on their Public Engagement Committee; I could have been more eloquent, but I had to give a firm "no"...

I'll just leave this stat here.

Hi @royalsociety.org, you might find this thread interesting. “Now consider the system that allows him to exist, that created him and protected him and rewarded him.”

How it went: How we’ve adapted:

I hope they do this forever. it's always *awful*, but I don't want it it change a bit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mbv...

At this point there is no reasonable excuse for anyone, whether that’s individuals or companies or governments, to be on that godforsaken site any more. Don’t give me that chat about “reach”, if this is who you’re reaching.

Nobody hates this man enough.

Delighted to be a FEMINIST who will burn in hell for DRIVING HUMANITY into EXTINCTION, aka a person doing a DISSERVICE to HUMANITY for choosing not to have kids. That’s a very rational opinion to have there, buddy. The erratic CAPSLOCK is definitely what makes it so rational.

How it started: How it’s going:

Today’s effort was a relaxed 4 mile lap of the park, which was very nice, but I did realise that with three halfs on the slate this year I am 100% going to have to mix my training routes up more lest I lose my motivation/marbles. #RunningPunks

Preach. Stop talking about the Moon. Just look at it. Perfection.

You know... It's finally dawning on me why I can't get anything fucking done. In what reality does a person wake up to FUCKING BATSHIT NEWS *every* fucking morning and want to do anything but numb the hell out just to try and make it through the day. In what fucking reality.

The transphobes of Glasgow have clearly been having a very normal Christmas, because tell me why it’s the 2nd of January and some dork-ass loser has stuck a bunch of *homemade* Sex Matters stickers all over the pedestrian crossings on Shields Road. Get a fucking grip babes, and a fucking life.

We actually did this at the end of 2024, and timed it perfectly. 100% an excellent way to go into a new year.

These make me laugh 100% of the time

It will always and forever be the couple who stormed out of one of my planetarium shows, telling my colleague “she needs JESUS” as they left.

After running 918.8km last year, I made a vague resolution to cover 1000km in 2025. Having done my last run of the year this morning, did I make it? You bet I did! #RunningPunks

We are now at 75k signatures, with many messages of support on Instagram, Facebook and here. This is a genuine groundswell of love over hate, and a call to focus on the real harms faced by women and girls. Thank you all who’ve signed and shared. Let’s keep it going 💜 notinourname.org.uk

A very welcome sign indeed, lads.

Me, absolutely buzzing to be heading up the road to the cats after a lovely but slightly hectic Christmas spent in London.

Ah, 28 December: 146th anniversary of the Tay Bridge disaster, which tragically took the lives of 59 people – and rather more happily gave the world ‘Sir’ William Topaz McGonagall’s most famous work

The CCC underwater observatory has been serving up great marine astronomy in recent weeks with Jupiter rising overhead. It’s light traveled from the Sun, bounced off Jupiter back to Earth, refracted thru the surface of the sea & into the #coralcitycamera lens where its processed & transmitted live

My P7 teacher said my handwriting was “very like your mother’s, I see”. Both of us were/are lefties with a slightly creative approach to handwriting, because we both had teachers who didn’t know how to deal with us.

The traditional Christmas Day run is done, a totally joyful (if slightly hard work) 8km along the Thames Path. Much love to all the other runners out today, especially the ones in Santa hats. You’re the real MVP’s. #RunningPunks

This day 57 years ago. Earthrise. A remarkable view of Earth hoving into view as the Apollo 8 command module flew over the lunar surface. That's us. That's home.

Spamming this everywhere (here and on Insta at least) because the #PaulKleeSweater that gave me tennis elbow is FINISHED. And it FITS. AND all 60-odd ends are woven in. I think it’ll be a while before I do another jumper in 4-ply, mind you… 🧶

After a long drive yesterday, having a wee leg stretch along the Thames Path this morning was a real treat. I’ve got a slightly longer run on deck for tomorrow, which I regret to inform you I am actually really excited about. #RunningPunks

Santa told us that people that don’t add alt text are getting coal in their stocking this year.

A lovely winter solstice run into Pollok Park this morning. It felt appropriate to head into the woods, I found some good bracket fungi, and got some useful feedback on my technique from Coach Carl. #RunningPunks

Re this, do you think for a second that I didn’t want my dad in my life? Mum took herself out in ‘98, so having a dad who cared would have been HUGE for me as a teen. Instead I got threats of violence, emotional abuse, doors slamming, and distance. And he STILL didn’t understand why I cut contact.

The selfish, cruel, entitled, garbage parents who hurt their children so badly, it's less painful for us to have no parents at all than it is to keep them in our lives and allow them to keep hurting us are the REAL victims, you see. 🙄

The views on today’s run were truly stunning… Sarcasm aside, I’m so glad to have gotten over last week’s stinking cold and be out and moving again. #RunningPunks

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Present-wrapping is going so great, super-great, it’s fantastic. No ribbons have been chewed, nothing has been sat on, no-one has gotten their whiskers stuck on the prepped sellotape, honest…
