there's a sumo chapter in tuff by paul beatty - #sumo #bookclub 🥋🐟

Heart-shaped pasta is half price at Ocado 💕💞💕💞💕

Made my version of Marcella Hazan's penne with cauliflower, garlic and red chilli. The smell was positively healing

I often have uncomfortable conversations with people who are probably <15 years older than me (I'm 51) but clearly think I'm much younger. I've noticed that the gloomier someone's default attitude toward the world seems to be, the likelier they are to underestimate my age or at least say so out loud

Masha is sharing his nature photos from the Galapagos on his Instagram account. I *highly* recommend them. #福山雅治 #BROS1991 www.instagram.com/masaharu_fuk...

Occasionally people (always cisgender) suggest I sign the NION Women petition. NION popped up quite recently & seem rather hollow. They had a VERY bad take on WI & Girl Guides' capitulation & spoke over trans women who objected. I don't bother with non-gov petitions anyway, & I've blocked them now

I see the Church Times have now linked to this baity article on their feed. I'm so sorry for the trans people who will be hurt by yet another ignorant hit piece. Please bear in mind that even by the most generous estimate, the Church Times has about half the readership of British Horse magazine

That's quite a moon 🌕

People sometimes say that a modern Christmas Carol would involve a billionaire but that misses the point. Scrooge is generally passively rather than actively evil. If he were a megalomaniac industrialist it wouldn't work. He is a small business owner who is supposed to be relatable to some extent.

Look at this fluffy little robin

open.spotify.com/playlist/0ep... George Martin’s centenary today so it must be ten years since I assembled a playlist for his 90th.

I prefer Qobuz to Spotify in most respects, but it took far more detective work than it should have to find this track there

"Feed the ducks with a bun*" klaxon #totp *don't actually feed ducks with buns though.

It looks like Paul Vallely, the cis man who wrote a piece for the Church Times claiming trans women pose a threat to cis women, has also written a book on Live Aid. So at least he's an expert in speaking over people you're claiming to help

@nakedpastor.bsky.social I see that @churchtimes.bsky.social carry your cartoons and just wondered if you were aware of the transphobic piece they'd published? It doesn't seem like the kind of thing you'd want to be associated with

@churchtimes.bsky.social Hey! Much as I appreciate you hiring a cis man to explain what's good for me, my transgender sisters never have been & never will be a threat to my rights or safety. I think Paul Vallely may have got trans women confused with the Metropolitan Police. Hope this helps!

Dear online shop owners, please please don't have animations on your website that start automatically and can't be turned off. Ordered a kintsugi kit today and might have kept adding stuff I didn't need till I got free shipping, but I had to get out of there before I threw up 🤢

I don't use Discord, but two different organisations I belong to have recently invited me to join their servers. Is this worthwhile, or will it be another source of toxicity?

Kotozakura reminds me of me before I started therapy. I think he should learn to be kind to himself

At least @extremerice.bsky.social doesn't have to worry about me trying to dress him like Masha #福山雅治 #BROS1991

Hot take: Before being allowed to run anything (company, country, whatever), a person should be required to speak passionately without notes for 15 minutes about something they love that doesn't obviously contribute to their own power and prestige

I'm looking forward to releasing new music in 2026. It starts with a dark and electronic-tinged song "Fly to Heaven", with a video just released before Christmas. youtu.be/QweDUX6nbrE

As I always say, if you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much fucking space, so I’m swashbuckling & swaggering into the new year with all the thrusting, thrill a minute explosive energy I intend to bring to every scintillating second of 2026. By which I mean, I’ve ordered a new bin

Belatedly and unexpectedly, I have come up with a New Year's resolution for 2026: to listen to a new-to-me J-pop artist every day. I'm not very good with genres & they're made up anyway, so this may include enka, city pop or any other non-classical music by Japanese artists. #365DaysOfJPop

Happy New Year😊 This year is the Year of the Horse. Here in Iwate, horse breeding has long been part of our heritage. My grandfather was a horse dealer, and my ancestors were veterinarians who specialized in horses. I’ve heard that adding urushi nuts to feed was believed to improve a horse’s coat.

25年も実に素晴らしいライブでした！ It's great live on 2025 year-end !

あけましておめでとうございます。 Happy New Year from Nagasaki. Japan. New year's sun! #長崎 #Nagasaki #newyear #newyear2026 @bskyphotos.bsky.social

If you need me this year, I'll be watching this youtu.be/j_Ha_-z8XJ0?... #福山雅治 #BROS1991

New Year, same me

Team White swept the voting for Kouhaku. The end! #紅白

I just recently learned about beer lees from one of Fukuyama Masaharu's adverts, and now this book is taking about sake lees. Maybe they just really like lees in Japan

2026 will have a good start after all! #福山雅治 #BROS1991

Julie greets the day with her normal dignity and aplomb…. #cats

This year ending & the next beginning is like a hellish horrible nuisance neighbour moving out & not knowing whether the new one will be another brutish bastard or a total sweetheart

The reasonable adjustment I need for my depression is for Fukuyama Masaharu to do a 3-hour live-streamed concert at 06:00 GMT every single morning #福山雅治 #BROS1991

いよいよ今年も大詰めです。だからといってどうということでもなく、日々日常である365日の中の一日ではあるのですが、やはり一年の区ぎりということで。 みなさん今年一年もおつかれさまでした。生きてるだけでもうものすごいことですよね。 また来年も一年みなさんからいろんなことを教えてもらったり感じさせてもらったりできたら嬉しいです。 今日は福山さんの大感謝祭ライブでこの一年のラストを迎えましょう！

It was nice of Buyee to put my SWITCH magazine in bubble wrap so I could hug it when I eventually got it from Parcelforce #福山雅治 #BROS1991

Julie warms herself by the fire and dares anyone to tell her to move…. #cats #Winter

Here is a picture of the most beautiful woman who has ever lived (Claudia Cardinale) eating spaghetti. Now go be like Claudia! Eat some spaghetti!

what if our minds barely exist, float like phosphorescence, like a net cast across the glittering, the unremembered night

Depression has been very bad today, so I rewatched the episode of Galileo where Kishitani gets stabbed in the arse. It helped #福山雅治 #BROS1991

人類と自然と野生生物の関わり方、過去と未来と現在地 正解というものはないのかもしれないが、考え想像し問い続けることはどんなことにおいても大事なのだと 何を知っていくべきなのか 何を知ろうとしていくか 何を考えて行動していくか 深い深い話だった 次回も絶対観る 観れる場所にいれるのだから

Credit where it's due to Royal Mail call centre staff. My SWITCH magazine (which made it from Japan to the UK with no hitch) was wrongly showing as "returned to sender" on tracking & I panicked. Spoke to very nice fellow who traced what had gone wrong & messaged depot to sort it out. #福山雅治 #BROS1991

Marks & Spencer has put seed planting innovation at the heart of Christmas this year.   Brussels sprout supplier Seahills from Arbroath has pioneered mixing wildflower seeds between sprout rows to provide important habitats for bees, butterflies, ladybirds and hoverflies that help to naturally…
