It’s Sunday so why not unwind with the latest Wombling along with reviews, articles and this week rollerskates www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/5/...

It might be the race to escape relegation tomorrow but FAR MORE IMPORTANT is mine and @jmdmnd.bsky.social battle to win our score prediction league. With anything from 0points to 17pts each game it’s a bit daft that after 360+ games there’s only 23 points separating us at the top.

New favourite podcast that is - I think I’m using the (slightly in the past) modern vernacular correctly - so on brand for me. doompod.com

Oooh. Good letterbox drop today from @mrbsemporium.bsky.social Cannot wait to read this. I have loved every one of her books.

Got bad allergies this time of year? Maybe it’s time to get yourself a hookworm parasite or two… @radiolab.bsky.social radiolab.org/podcast/your...

Oooh - nice to see my local library highlighting the latest by @neillancaster66.bsky.social (I didn’t check it out as I’m behind on that series.)

He reads the silly post He reads the scoldy post He reads the jokey post And the pedantic post He reads the posts that remind him of the bad site He reads the posts that remind him of the worst site Don’t screenshot that, troll behavior

I can make lots of stuff. Book covers. Album art. Posters. Shit like that. I've designed for 25 years, but I have no money (like, literally no money), so I'm cheap to hire. A fire sale on my dignity. nobodyssweetheart.com

Oh dayum- on The Pitt episode where they go analogue. I’ve had to pause to prepare myself to properly sink in and enjoy. You all do that when you know you’ve got a good episode to watch, right?

Poor Hearts… ouch.

@wormito.bsky.social Can’t WAIT for Sam Kerr to leave!!

@wormito.bsky.social You watching the FA Youth Cup final?

“You’ve got a hat dickhead.” Harrison might be my favourite ever Race Across the World contestant.

I am making lasagne. I am trying the approach of leaving in the fridge for 5-6 hours before the final cooking bit. So. Unusual breakfast smell of onions, garlic and mince.

Great. The Magpies are back and so the grating cacaphony as they recommence their dance with neighbour’s cats… Back to having to wear headphones whilst I work.

I feel a lot of David Attenborough's hard work with nature preservation is to cover for how much of a mess his brother made of that dinosaur theme park.

WHY HAVE PADDINGTON THE HARBINGER OF DEATH??!!

I’ve really needed to watch the positivity of the last Race Across the World episode - seeing the best of people is such a tonic.

He'll be using his PaPal account from now on.

This podcast is brilliant but also depressing. 6 episodes, each under 30mins. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand... Thanks to @jmdmnd.bsky.social for signposting.

Well hello there

I’ve got some B’grade Star Wars Christmas cards. Seems a good time to try and flog them… they’re just slightly smaller than usual cos the trim was out and I had to trim them myself If you want a pack of four. £5.50 + post (usually 12.99 +) ko-fi.com/s/c2a45a2af6 #starwarsday #bsnm

Villa fans leaving after 25mins?

I have lots of #DoctorWho art prints for sale! Please check 'em out if that's your kind of thing! (Reposts very appreciated!) 😀 www.ebay.co.uk/usr/scotgra-57

I spent a week glued to the Artemis 2 livestream and wrote some words about THE MOON, OUR MOON, and what happens to language at the edges of human experience. open.substack.com/pub/nothingb...

@wormito.bsky.social You see the fallout from draw with Spurs? Seems a bit much to refuse The Atlantic to ask a question afterwards??

Calling it in an ‘assassination attempt’ is like saying Russell Brand gave a sermon.

I am absolutely shite at recognising when someone is flirting with me. Like, comically bad at it. My mates would mock me about it. But something happened today that made me so happy. 1/?

This is still the dumbest thing about Race Across the World that the leaders sometimes have to leave in the middle of the night and in effect get punished.

*Sean Connery voice

Might start watching The Pitt and ER at the same time and alternate episodes.

I know I’m a little booze soaked but I swear I just saw ….. 😳

@wormito.bsky.social Eek…that defence for Stamford Bridge looks…um, vulnerable?

@findenlake.bsky.social Do you follow Ross County? I think you should. We could have a league of people and their name teams. We must know a Peter for Peterhead? A Steve for Stevenage? Dumbarton - I mean, I can think of one dumb Barton…

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

If you want one of those stories that draws you in, creates a vivid world with such detail you live it, and then populates it with rich characters that delve into personal stories that feel universal and slowly winds up your emotions…

I still don’t get how the FINALISTS of the last World Cup can be in the same qualifying group?? #ENGESP

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

I think this will appeal to some of you. Probably @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social …

hello bore da good morning! just a little reminder that I have THINGS for sale: pictures, badges, tshirts etc. if you like, and are in the market for, THINGS, pls do click this link shop.frankduffy.co.uk

Britain is sliding into facist rule and the world is falling apart… This is part eco/dystopian thriller and part folk horror/myth. Anyone fancy both of these? @pancakeone.bsky.social sent them to me and I’d like to post them on and see how far they might go if they keep getting passed on!

Dear Friends, Please send this to your networks. Project Drawdown is offering full-time, paid (with benefits) fellowships to scientists and engineers working on climate solutions in the public interest. Deadline is April 17. drawdown.org/careers/clim...

Genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever seen a cultural venue post

What a beautiful hour of storytelling on Starfleet Academy: The Life of the Stars. Reaching back to embrace the power and depth of theatre and community; and so full of hope and so full of heart.

Jitterbug has been out a month now, and it's been attracting some great reviews. And given the current interest in the Artemis II mission, I should probably mention that the story's partly set on the moon! #sciencefiction #books

I am a catastrophiser so being rational about the global threats is not helping. I have planted some seeds today which seems wildly optimistic to be honest.

I find it’s useful (if depressing) when seeing some of the jaw dropping comments on social media to remember that about 1 in 5 adults in Britain have the literacy levels of a 10 year old.

I know there’s lots of Apollo comparisons but with what’s happening on Earth, I keep thinking of Sergei Krikalev.
