You can get an MMR jab for free if you didn’t have it as a kid, UK adults

Would be nice to be able to open the blinds once in a while. The darkest summer ever

I just want to post stats every day b/c it seems like men just do not get it. Example: The LEADING CAUSE OF INJURY FOR WOMEN BETWEEN 18-24 IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Not car accidents. Not household burns. Not slipping and falling. Men. Men are the leading cause of injury to women. And 40% of murders.

No sweeter email than a ‘Cancelled event’ on Google Meet

Hi, me and my wife run our own business, making linocut prints inspired by nature, wildlife, folklore and the Aberdeenshire countryside. My wife, Kirsty, is the artist but she doesn’t do social media stuff. She’s amazing, though, and makes beautiful art. www.cutfromtheland.co.uk/products

Totally agree with Emma on this. Here’s some of my paintings.

Why is there so little art on Bluesky? Considering how many people are on here complaining about AI art. Put your human art here! Of all kinds, not just photorealistic pencil drawings. Although those are fine too ofc

Jupiter’s icy moons, finished print These are the moons that currently have NASA & ESA spacecraft heading towards them to assess their habitability. You’ll all be talking about them in 2029, wait & see

Psst Americans, trying to correct the rest of the world on World Cup rules just now is going to go over even worse than the aircon stuff

Looking very cautiously before crossing the road in England today considering how much of the country was in the pub until 4am

Third heatwave of the year by the start of July! Pretty soon British people are going to break, down tools en masse & sit in a paddling pool with a beer until November

Incredible yelling from Dreamland where surprisingly it’s Paul Weller playing - loudest crowd I’ve heard so far I think

Bit unexpected to walk past the local playground & hear a smallish child singing the Queen of the Night aria from the Magic Flute - quite well too

Holidays are pretty wasted on children IMO until they’re in their teens - all I can remember from any trips pre about 10 is what sweets I got. France: boiled sweets in long strips. Stonehenge: unusual toffees with circles in

Presume the State Fair is like those American candy shops in Oxford Street in London & not meant for actual humans to use anyway

Nice to think of orange-scented Beatles

I know it’s probably necessity but I wish podcasts didn’t play the same ads so many times. If I hear that woman say ‘Ready to launch your business? Entrapranewwers…’ again I’ll go crazy

I think the fact that the world is being run by billionaires who are, yes, evil but also constantly off their faces is not addressed enough

Enjoying the fact that my to-do list today includes ‘drop off penguin print at the caves’

Feeling nostalgic for the time when the most frightening part of the newspaper wasn’t the weather forecast

It’s surprising the celebrity deaths that affect you - I would not have predicted that the recent ones that made me exclaim ‘Oh no!’ the loudest are Diane Keaton & Penelope Keith

Bloody ridiculous night

Looking at the forecast for 2am & feeling absolutely furious

Argh! 35 degrees & we’re right by the sea. Absolutely mad (I know everyone else has had it for days but we’ve only just gone into the red zone & it’s horrible)

People in the UK & Europe are feeling very snappy right now so probably better if you’re in America to stop making ‘helpful’ suggestions, it’s not going down well at all

ULEZ proves good policy over popularity is what we need. Not dickhead politicians lapping up the support of idiots who want us all to be as miserable as them www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’ve confused Instagram enough that the ads I’m seeing are all for Norwegian aquariums, motorbikes & sports cars. Better than the middle aged woman ones I used to get anyway which seemed to mainly focus on trying not to pee yourself

AI companies that are going bankrupt should simply learn to adapt to the new reality of AI companies all being bankrupt or be left behind. It’s the inevitable march of progress so we must embrace it

Wonder if all the heatwaves will make church attendance suddenly popular in the UK. Lovely dark cool crypts

So sinister - we were freaked out when we looked at an old lady’s seaside bungalow which the estate agent later told us had a painting of ‘a certain unsuccessful Austrian artist’ in the loft - but at least they didn’t have it hanging on the wall

Start the countdown for everyone saying how disappointed they are in Andy Burnham - 4 days? Maybe a week if the heat slows things down

As the heat becomes unbearable, it's time for a true #IceAge masterpiece: a tiny yet remarkable figurine of a woolly mammoth, just 3.7 cm long, carved from mammoth ivory around 40,000 years ago. Despite its size, it captures the essence of one of the Ice Age’s most iconic animals with...🧵 1/2 📷me

I’ve started using the Libby app to borrow books from the library & it’s made me appreciate the delights of the very short novel - so satisfying to have a book become free, read it in a day & hit the ‘return early’ button. There you go, next person in the queue! Surprise treat for you

Incredibly bright star/planet directly above the moon tonight - so perfectly placed it looks like an earring, never seen anything like it

Having seen the awful results of eg not making a new will after marrying again this book seems like a good idea. We should put more emphasis on not leaving behind a mess for your loved ones to sort out

This is a deep-sea isopod. Dr. Johanna Weston, a deep-ocean biologist and guest investigator at @whoi.edu, is confident this is Bathyopsurus nybelini, one of her favorite animals. Learn why via the YouTube caption: youtube.com/shorts/DenUj...

Every time I hear an American say ‘buoy’ I think they’re joking & they’re not

Hot-desking houses, just absolutely fuck off. These ideas are thought up by soulless dead eyed young men who have no books, no hobbies, no loved pieces of furniture, no friendly neighbours & no family. Just a laptop & hotel room setup of a life

If someone’s telling me something it’s probably B but if I’m telling them my secrets I realise I assume A. Uh oh

Funny how people who seem to believe in collective punishment for eg the crime of one migrant never seem to believe that since so many women are killed by men, all women should riot against men & throw them in the sea just to be on the safe side

I would never walk anticlockwise. Are you all crazy?? Are you *trying* to summon the devil? (or is that just around churches?)

I still remember the insanity of some visitors from a small town who insisted on *driving* into the West End of London to see a play on a Saturday night (Obviously we missed the first half while they searched for somewhere to park)

www.maptap.gg June 8 96🔥 98🎯 98🎯 95🏅 97🔥 Final score: 966 Never got as high as this before - I’m usually humiliatingly miles out

I do not understand this shop’s name & it annoys me every time I walk past. What’s it punning on? Why isn’t it eg Rising Bun?
