Tonight's the night! And as The Guardian says: 'THIS IS HOW TO DO TRUE CRIME.' www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Yes, hello? I don’t think 2026 is working properly. I’d like to cancel my free 5 day trial please.

I wrote 52 articles last year and I think this one is the one I am the most proud of (the one on the nipple bra runs a close second.) “I tried to save a loved one from addiction – trust me, you can't.” (Gifted article) inews.co.uk/opinion/i-tr...

Why am I seeing people running about and posting about diets? January clearly doesn’t start until Monday.

“If I can give you one piece of health advice for 2026, it is this: look after your back. If I could give you a second piece of advice, it would be not to mix Jagermeister with battered cod on a night out, but mostly it would be the back thing.” inews.co.uk/opinion/heal...

Well, it finally happened. I am “I-bought-some-perishables-with-me-because-I-didn’t-want-them-to-go-off” years old.

A huge huge thank you for all your support over the last year. X

As we approach the Winter Solstice, here's what Stonehenge looked like in the 16th century. #WinterSolstice BL Add MS 28330; Lucas De Heere, Corte Beschryvinghe van Engheland, Schotland, ende Irland; 1573 CE-1575 CE; England (London); f.36r

I’ve been your best friend for over 30 years and you’re just going to sack me off for some guy you’ve know for, what? Like a year? Friend: for the purposes of this conversation can we just agree to call him my son?

Today on #BetwixtTheSheets, we are revisiting the awesomely erudite Sir Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch & his research on history of the Virgin Mary PS. Tickets to the live #Betwixt show are on sale on at fane.co.uk. Edinburgh is selling fast, so don’t wait about if you want to come on May 23rd.

Or 2:30am (Toronto time) for the insomniac perimenopausal ladies looking for something to do tomorrow morning

It is the winter solstice tomorrow (in the northern hemisphere) this is your reminder that English Heritage live stream the sun rising over Stonehenge on their YouTube channel from 7.30am tomorrow morning. www.youtube.com/live/FEnQmoc...

How do you know a night out was a total and unmitigated disaster. Your English mates: “well, it was something different, anyway.”

“I know what you’re thinking: “she’s not hurting anyone, Kate. Let her breastfeed her bulldog in peace if it makes her happy.” But the problem with many of these doting pet owners is that they often expect other people to buy into the anthropomorphic fantasy as well.” inews.co.uk/opinion/gent...

Today on #BetwixtTheSheets, I am getting on the couch with Carolyn Lawbender to do some serious analysing of the big man himself, Sigmund Freud. Who was the man behind the theories, how did he come up with them in the first place - and do we really all want to shag our mums??

Today on #BetwixtTheSheets, I am talking to the rather magnificent Dr Michael Talbot about his research into the history of harems in the Ottoman Empire. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Life lesson. It doesn’t matter how much the jumpsuit cost, I will still look like an extra from Bob the Builder who has lost her wrench.

If you have a Betwixter in your life & you’re not sure what to get them for Xmas, get them tickets to the live shows we are doing in May! One in London & one in Edinburgh. Alternately, you could keep the ticket for yourself & just tell them how great it was later. X www.fane.co.uk/betwixt-the-...

Thank you! 🤩

Personally, I’d rather see a PornHub wrapped from everyone each year.

“Of all the stigmas that accompany not wanting children (and there are many), this is the one that upsets me the most. Just because someone doesn’t want to be a full-time parent doesn’t mean that they aren’t good with children or aren’t to be trusted with them.” inews.co.uk/opinion/sick...

Awesome writer! "A Curious History of Sex" was great! Looking forward to this one.

Today on #BetwixtTheSheets, I am talking to the tour de force that is @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social about her new book #Legenda, which looks at how the lives of historical women have been exploited in order to create myths of nationhood.

I booked to meet my mate and her toddler at a soft play near me but she’s had to cancel suddenly and they don’t refund the fee. I can’t… I can’t go on my own, can I? That’s not allowed, is it? A 43 year old woman in a ball pit by herself?

I'm buying warm socks, leggings, pjs, thermals and knickers for sex workers this winter. Ive done the first bag. If you want to support this and help out, let me know!

If you had the money, would you get a Kris Jenner “forever 35 facelift”? I am investigating what that would mean - and how much it would cost. inews.co.uk/opinion/im-4...

Today on #BetwixtTheSheets I am talking to Rosie Gailor about her research on the work and life of #RoaldDahl and asking if you can ever separate the art from the artist. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

I swear my mate just told me her toddler has foot and mouth disease. In my role of child free auntie, I have no idea how to help. Do I send a get well soon card, or help her burn the farm down to stop the infection spreading???

'cast your mind back over your dating history and then ask yourself how good your gut instinct really is' En vaak weet je het ergens ook wel, maar toch proberen, hè.

Opinion | It gives us a great deal of comfort to believe we have innate instincts that can wheedle out a social menace and spot a liar on sight, but the truth is that we don’t 🖋 @k8lister.bsky.social Read more: trib.al/RFqEXaB

😍😍 OMG, wonderful episode & crying out to be dramatised in the style of Sally Wainwright’s #RiotWomen @k8lister.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Really very highly recommend you listen this episode of @k8lister.bsky.social's show that covers the origin of Frankestein, or rather some of the ways in which Percy Bysshe Shelley was a rotten little nepo bitch.

Today on #BetwixtTheSheets I am talking to the incomparable Cathryn Kemp about her work on the Italian, mass husband poisoner, Giulia Tofana 💀☠️🍾🪦

You should absolutely go find this if you, like me and all right-thinking people, enjoy telling Percy Bysshe Shelley to fuck off into the sun.

Today on #BetwixtTheSheets, I am talking to the Frankentastic Fiona Sampson about the life and loves of #MaryShelley

The Tilberi were the pets of #Icelandic witches and you can see them in the #Icelandic Museum of Sorcery and #Witchcraft, where I visited as part of the new film on History Hit, Witchmen: the Icelandic age of ice and fire.

I love people who know how to get stains out of clothes. Not dry cleaners, that’s their job, I mean the woman who tears across the street and kicks the door in to tell you that you need to soak an ink stain with hand sanitiser before washing it on a low heat. Those people have seen some shit.

When some tailgating jerk aggressively overtakes, only to have to cut in front of you because it wasn’t safe to overtake - and then you get to sit right behind him for miles with both of you knowing his prick move was completely pointless? 10/10

Anything under 20% off should not be allowed to call itself a “sale.” Don’t be sending me excited emails about your “flash sale” to only knock 5% off your jumpers.
