I’m always so tempted to shout retorts to street preachers. Even more determined to get myself a loud hailer and do it now…

Breakwater cast on queer intimacy and why #Heartstopper’s Will Gao makes you ‘blush’

The *reason* Ai-generated text contains semicolons, en dashes etc. is that experienced, skilful writers use these marks to subtly convey meaning and nuance in their work. And the Ai LLMs have been trained on the stolen work of experienced, skilful writers.

I did not know the pacarana was a creature that existed until today... I am delighted to say the least...

Same.

Highly recommended, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I think people are forgetting how long SFX/VFX take. Things being in Amazon’s hands likely also allude to that. There are probably MONTHS of work left to do. It’s not just a bit of filming & then done. There’s TONNES of FX work. If you want a good Finale, you want them to spend time on it properly.

Now that's a photo! 😍 A huge thanks to one of our Heathland volunteers, Richard Ford, for this incredible image of a nightjar. A-MAZ-ING! #SouthDowns #HelpTheHeaths

Hooray for my fellow West Midlander & course mate! So incredibly excited for you @bwheelerbooks.bsky.social 🥳

Any other hEDS-ers flaring at the moment? I am ✨struggling✨ and trying to work out why because it’s my third major flare up this year - I’d normally only expect one big one by now. Is it just me? #hEDS #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Hypermobility #PainFlareUp #ChronicPain

The press has been all over this shit but not a single fucking one has broken what a placebo trip would look like so, lets. 🧵🧵 www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Nah. Count me out. I’ll watch Doctor Who and that’s me done.

Love the fact that it never, for even a fraction of a second, occurs to Joyce that perhaps she is the one arguing the world is flat.

Happy Terry Pratchett Day, on what would have been his 77th birthday.

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

Universities used to be centres of learning and even rebellion. Not businesses. Let’s return to that.

I take off my blindfold. Before me is a gory tableau of death and destruction, bodies strewn across the landscape. The piñata is unscathed.

Yes! They claim fake mews

What an absolutely lush thought

April 10, 2024 - a date which will live in infamy. The publication of the Cass Review on that day, endorsed by both Labour and Tory party, has wreaked havoc on the lives of UK trans youth, their families, and the broader trans community. Today, Thembert Cassyouth Day, is for them.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Holy fkn shit. She’s really just going to burn through every minority group, isn’t she? I bet she’s got a dartboard with labels and just hoys a dart every once in a while to see who she’ll attack next.

This is a weird Mother’s Day for *reasons* and SDNP’s phrasing actually got it beautifully for me. Mother’s Day situations can be so complicated, and so can the associated emotions. Hope yours are happy and you have a lovely day! If not, I send you love, empathy, and acceptance. 🖤🖤🖤

I’m one of those who will be affected by the cuts. Please consider supporting this campaign.

Holy shit. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say they’re trying to kill us all. “The Environmental Protection Agency plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists”

I'm delighted to introduce A Home for Spark the Dragon, my new picture book for young readers, co-written by Jess Webb, with illustrations by Sarah Massini published in association with homelessness charity @Shelter. Available to buy at bit.ly/SparkBookshop
