Technically, they’re Remains now.

Every summer since 2020, I've said, 'For next summer, I'll get air con' and every summer since 2020, I haven't got air con, and I am a silly billy.

Ring cameras now come with AI video descriptions, and the amusing way they described my husband and I making the beast with two backs was quite something! www.digitalcameraworld.com/cameras/secu...

It would feel quite un-prime ministerial to me to have a PM called Andy. I suppose we had Tony and Liz, but Andy feels even more casual. Still, better than Nigel - though it's the equivalent of him calling himself Nige.

I love my hilarious monosyllabic 15yo daughter

You might have to click the image to view these two posts from my Facebook feed in full, but it’s the funniest juxtaposition ever.

Look, Starmer wasn’t perfect. I too would like the UK to stop selling arms, and be a bit more liberal on many issues. But I also don’t understand running Labour down when the looming alternative is Reform. Some lefties honestly seem to hate Labour more than any other party and I find that baffling.

If, like me, you like politics and you like the 90s I'm sure you will also enjoy this image of Andy Burnham and his wife in their uni days (image via @thetimes.com)

I haven’t thought about shagging Nige for a bit, which is probably for the best as I doubt he’d want to shag me either, me being a bit brown and all. Or maybe that’s his kink? arianesherine.substack.com/p/i-cleaned-...

Me: You’re seven inches taller than me Husband: You mean, when we’re lying down and I’m excited?!

My ex-husband was marrying me to fulfil a social contract; I was marrying him for the same reason, and also because I’d swallowed too much ‘marry your best friend’ guff from Hollywood movies. arianesherine.substack.com/p/why-ive-de...

Free to read: "The scales aren't measuring how kind I am, how smart I am, all the chores I do for my family, all the gifts I buy them. "They're simply letting me know how heavy I am on any given day. "I no longer want to know. It’s info I can do without." arianesherine.substack.com/p/why-ive-st...

The wonderful thing about Bluesky is it’s full of educated people and zero antivaxxers. I said on Twitter that I was glad my daughter had the HPV vaccine to protect her from cervical cancer, as deaths in young women from the disease have dropped to zero. I am ‘a terrible mother’ and ‘thick as shit!’

Occasionally - VERY occasionally - something nice happens in the other place, like in the good old days.

Ad and I enjoyed a lecture on space by the astrophysicist Alfredo Carpineti. I asked a question: ‘We think of astrophysicists as atheists and skeptics. So why, after its abortive Apollo 13 mission, did NASA refuse to use 13 ever again for a crewed mission?’ arianesherine.substack.com/p/what-a-hum...

I have been squeezing my non-religious husband's spots. I am calling this the Atheist Pus Campaign.

My husband says I am the perfect woman, which is a lie, because I am an emotionally unstable oversharer and my tits sag so low I can do keepy-uppies with them. arianesherine.substack.com/p/the-perfec...

I walk downstairs in underwear Husband: So hot Me: Aww, thanks! Husband: I was talking about the weather

This faux-concerned “we know Father’s Day can be difficult for some, so we have decided to send even more emails about it” trend in email marketing makes me crosser with every holiday.

"You need to fancy each other like mad, otherwise you’ll basically be flatmates who share a bed. You might be amazed at how much distance and loneliness there can be in those cases — there can seem to be many miles between the two sides of a double bed." arianesherine.substack.com/p/the-key-to...

Apparently not Bluesky though. Also, what the hell is Kick?!

"The idea that unfair advantages lead to happiness is one of the greatest fallacies. Sure, it’s far easier to be happy without money worries, but if you have enough cash for a few luxuries, studies show that more won’t vastly increase your happiness." arianesherine.substack.com/p/life-isnt-...

Never knowingly underdressed! Off to the @humanists.uk Festival of Humanism gala dinner with @juniperific.bsky.social - can’t wait.

Husband: I hate it when other guys come onto you Me: There's only one man I love and fancy Husband: Is it Barack Obama?

LIVE podcast recording of the Unholy Histories podcast w/ none other than @profaliceroberts.bsky.social & @adamrutherford.bsky.social. The topic: ‘Did everything good really come from Christianity?’ You may be able to guess the resounding answer… Lots of fantastic questions from the audience too!

Every guy I've ever been out with has told me they fancy another woman at some point. I want them to pretend to fancy only ME! And I don't think I'm the only neurotic who doesn't like her hot bloke slobbering over gorgeous women. So here's my best advice. arianesherine.substack.com/p/dont-tell-...

Having a lovely mini-moon with @juniperific.bsky.social at the @humanists.uk Festival of Humanism in Bournemouth. Sun, sea and science!

Calling all female journos, commissioning editors and PRs: I’ve just started a new women’s Facebook group for paid call-outs, case study requests and pitches. Feel free to join! www.facebook.com/share/g/14e8...

I like my wedding ring, but sometimes it chafes, so I take it off. Then I miss it and feel like a bad wife, so I put it back on. It’s the ring cycle.

My best ever job title was ‘Hot Man Hunter’ at New Woman magazine in 2004, but this would run it a close second.

There’s a place for you at Humanists UK – whether you’re looking to support people in need, meet like-minded people, or just get stuck in with something new and exciting. We hope you’ll consider joining our movement after having a peek at the opportunities below. We'd love to have you onboard!

My unemployed ass wants to tell you about success, LOL. arianesherine.substack.com/p/why-you-sh...

Free to read: “In May 2017, six months after my dad died, I stayed at a hotel on Hollywood Boulevard in LA, the Hollywood Roosevelt, where he grew up. Not only was it done out in 1940s decor, but the room number was 1122 — my dad’s date of death.” arianesherine.substack.com/p/we-should-...

I'm not complaining, because it's a wonder drug and I'm very grateful for it, but what they don't tell you about Mounjaro is that for a lot of users it knocks you out for a day after the injection. I jab on Sundays, so Mondays are a nauseous wipeout. A small price to pay though.

Doing housework. We are both lefties but sadly my electric toothbrush head votes Reform while Ad’s votes Tory!

Free to read, and it's an entertaining one today, about jealousy: "I was livid at my boyfriend and the woman. I left them alone with the excuse of getting drinks, and got them two full glasses, somehow managing not to gob in them or chuck them at them." arianesherine.substack.com/p/why-i-dres...

My birthday is coming up so I have booked a bottomless brunch. Which is ironic, as it will give me a bigger bottom.

My daughter is wonderful and formidable and will no doubt conquer the world. But now, to my great relief, she is 15, independent and capable. The absolute terror of raising a newborn, however, meant I eventually needed another antidepressant to cope. arianesherine.substack.com/p/i-am-not-a...

I wonder if the aisle is 500 miles long?

I once met an unmarried girl who said she would always change her surname to her future husband’s, no matter what it was. ‘What if it was Cockhead?’ I asked. She replied, without missing a beat: ‘I’d take it, but would style myself Co-KEED!’ arianesherine.substack.com/p/why-i-chan...

Me: I went to Sainsbury’s to shop Husband: I’m not sure you needed to say ‘to shop’. Not many people go to Sainsbury’s to admire the tiling!

Celebrated one blissful month of marriage to my gorgeous husband today, and X in the A-Z of Dating, with dinner at the OXO Tower.

Free to read: “The latest Mounjaro study is fascinating and makes total sense. Mounjaro takes away your cravings — not just for food and alcohol, as studied, but for sex, pleasure and perhaps life itself, if that doesn’t sound too alarming.” arianesherine.substack.com/p/is-mounjar...

Daughter works harder than anyone I’ve ever met and just got the best GCSE mocks in her year: five 9s and three 8s. She’s making her old mum look like quite the slouch. 😂

‘You’re very sexual,’ a former female friend once said to me, in the kind of disgusted, judgemental tone that people use to say, ‘You’re very smelly!’ But I don’t go around humping lamp posts or exposing my knickers to the local bin men (anymore, honest). arianesherine.substack.com/p/do-men-jus...

Me: That was the best orgasm of my entire life Husband: See, THIS is what you should be putting on social media!
