The pettiest thing I would do if I was supreme ruler is banned carrot cake. It just offends me on a deep level. "Let people enjoy things" okay but there are limits

One of the regulars went to Polish church this morning and then brought her blessed Easter basket here to hang out while she waited for a lift home so now I'm kinda craving kabanos even though I don't eat pork

This is probably the episode I've listened to most often but I couldn't tell you what happens

I am shit at parallel parking so I get a lot of joy out of people being terrible at parallel parking outside my shop (or even better when they spend ages trying and then give up and drive off)

More’s the point it wouldn’t be a problem if it did The same people who claim to have a unique understanding of business freak out if a company spots a gap in a market and produces product for it, in this case a small independent reseller Making nice things for a joyful festival is not a bad thing

🎵 Goin' to the kitchen and I'm Gonna eat hot cross buns I'm Going' to the kitchen and I'm Gonna eat hot cross buns I'm Going' to the kitchen and I'm Gonna eat hot cross buns I'm Goin' to the kitchen for buns 🎵

Today felt so Sundayish that I'm very confused that I have to go to work tomorrow

Right it’s been hard work but we have our vital feedback on three flavoured hot cross buns. Chocolate: Naughty bun Apple: Moist Traditional: Solid, respectable - would introduce to parents.

Just explained the whole near-side/far-side tidal locking physics of the moon on BBC TV with a 1980's disco-dance-around-your-handbag analogy 😂 - always face the bag (Earth) as you dance (orbit) around it. 💃 📹: NASA/Vi Nguyen

Ought to have made supper by now but The Cat

The time has come for us, as an organisation, to boycott @pinknews.bsky.social. Despite reservations about the company, we have sometimes worked with queer and trans reporters there to tell stories we thought were important for our community - the same as other outlets. That ends today. Why?

Went to fairy meadows* to meet niblings and accidentally bought a book in the gift shop *an old mishearing

@cooraysmith.bsky.social live reaction to The Nightmare Begins: Varga Varga Varga shouting. Varga Varga Varga shouting. Mega white things. Mega mega white things. Vargas Vargas Vargas

There was a Passover-themed haiku contest at the community seder. My entry, which received a solid round of applause: Frogs frogs frogs frogs frogs Frogs frogs frogs frogs frogs frogs frogs Frogs frogs frogs frogs frogs

Here are all the records I have of herring gulls, etc from early modern Britain & Ireland. Herring gulls in this period still kept to the coasts and ate herring. The birds were not commonly found inland until around 150 years ago, when they found out about our massive landfill sites. 😻🪽

Sometimes your working day gives you more joy than you could ever have hoped for.

The sound of a hover cover moving. A wicket with more than a tinge of green. 100% grey cloud. Thirty-seven people dotted around the stands, hunched into their coats. The most magical time of the year. #CountyChampionship

Nice work 👏 #Cricket 🏏

mods are asleep, post bean hole

Eddies in the space-time continuum Ah. Is he. Is he.

that tweet inspired my cross stitch magnum opus

artemis ii is a precursor to crewed moon landing artemis iv in early 2028. so i looked up apollo 10, precursor to the crewed apollo 11 moon landing. they named their lander and command module snoopy and charlie brown. snoopy had become a nasa mascot, with a silver snoopy pin badge award for safety

Wait, does Detroit mean "Strait"? Did everyone know this already?

Mum received Maundy money a few years ago but because it was lockdown times, she didn't get the church service and the Queen presenting it. Also you can't spend it. All a bit pointless, but she was very chuffed all the same

I'm seeing my friend Steph for dinner tonight and reminded that dad always referred to her as Stepney no. 55, I looked it up (it's a steam engine obv) and apparently the ochre colour it's painted is called Improved Engine Green which is baffling

[P] I can never choose between these two

Blank pages invite use. In this 1578 print album by Philip Galle, published in collaboration with the Officina Plantiniana, a later reader used the flyleaves and leftover white space to sketch contemporary faces and figures. #bookhistory #rarebooks #earlymodern 💙📚📜

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

In Orphic cosmogony, Φάνης (Fanis), aka Πρωτόγονος (Firstborn), was an intersex deity who burst forth from the silver egg of the universe created by Χρόνος (Time). Their name means "light" or "shine"; appropriate for the deity who gave birth to the universe. #WyrdWednesday

If those astronauts don’t say “MOONAH” as they go past it, words will be had

Some tourists just came and asked me where there was to go round here that you could take dogs and I blankety blanked so hard

I don't really want to discourse but my observation is that I went to doctors and psychiatric appointments *a lot* about my executive dysfunction, difficulty with relationships, inability to cope with life and got diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder and depression. Over the past 5 years,

Holiday in 8 days!!! Day off on Friday!!! Chocolate eggs on Sunday!!! Not going to dwell on all the stressful things

If you were awake from 3-5 am and then had to get up at 7 and deal with hordes of children buying sweets and being LOUD and now it's 10 am and you are very sleepy would you also lose track of what you were going to write

seeing a lot of "higher gas prices won't affect me because I don't drive very much" and unfortunately it is my sad duty to inform you that your food does not teleport to the grocery store

Hey so I guess it's Trans day of visibility, so if you're gonna perceive me, the least you could do is donate a few bucks to help a girl out with some bills.

👀 You may see the northern lights this evening and overnight due to a Coronal Mass Ejection Despite it's imminent arrival there's considerable uncertainty and it may only glance Earth. If it arrives, aurora could be spotted as far south as northern England if skies are clear.

Would anyone who lives anywhere near New York State be willing to take in my cat temporarily for up to a year? My original plans for having someone care for him just fell through and I'm scrambling to find someone. He is a very good boy and doesn't have any special needs.

For Transgender day of visibility. No LGB without the T. Always.

Happy #TransDayofVisibility, here's a selfie of me looking tired but still surviving this morning 🌞 plus my books, most of which have trans, GNC and/or nonbinary leads. If YOU 🫵 are also trans, I'm sending you love and strength in these grim times, you're not alone

Ideally these stories should be presented in the form of poorly curated anthologies with the most generic titles imaginable, thereby rendering their contents impossible to identify or find later in life and leaving the affected individual wondering whether they dreamed the whole thing.

I think it's actually essential to children's moral development to be exposed to short stories moderately beyond their reading level where a bunch of fucked up shit happens and then instead of offering a moral lesson or any sort of emotional or narrative resolution it just ends.

The veil between the cisgender and transgender worlds is thinnest on March 31st, which allows trans people to be visible for this one day each year. They will disappear again at midnight, so be sure to go outside and see them today!

Everyone wants aniseed balls today which is fine but why

Happy trans days of visibility to all of us awesome trans artists! I love you all so much, the world is so much better because of our work. Never let anyone convince you of the opposite. Let’s keep doing this forever. #tdov #art #illustration #transgender

I love the way ladybirds take off. I always say "weeee" when I see it. 😂

Happy third birthday, Jamie! 💛🤍💜🤍
