@paulapeters19.bsky.social Hi Paula, I hope you are keeping well. I have two law students in their final year that would like to work with #DPAC in the West Yorkshire area. Can you please advise who is best to contact for them?

everyone goes on about how hot cartoon fox robin hood was, but nobody thinks about how his penis bone would cause a copulatory tie during sex

Have I mentioned how much I love Lambrini Girls? (Cw: does address disordered eating)

This might be aimed at asylum seekers, but in approach and language - especially the parts about the safely of his daughters and not wanting newly-arrived immigrants as neighbours - it’s pretty much indistinguishable from the BNP-style open racism of the 70s and 80s.

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

I’m adding these decals to my windows to prevent a third bird strike. The first one died, the second flew off and I’m determined no more will be hurt just because I like clean windows. 🕊️🥰

@robauton.bsky.social I moved the toaster! Now, what are your Edinburgh dates please because I’m definitely going to see you there. Also jojuba dates are much better than cigarette filters. So are wolfberries. Finish the herbal thing of your choice and either plant a tree or eat the paper.
