Ooh I just got given a really spectacular glare for not looking disabled enough in the priority seat on the tube Sorry for being too erm, good at choosing t-shirts, or something? Not sure which particular ridiculous bias she was using.

I've been meaning to look at some of Remedios Varo's art, but eternal faff meant I forgot Stephen Ellcock shared some, and it is so brilliant that when I saw these, I felt like my hands might fly off my body www.instagram.com/p/DYLCycojRIt

When I see things like Dawkins chatting with bloody AI, I think... But there are LOADS of cool things that you can chat to, without harming anything Statues, trees, a really good spoon, there is so much beauty to interact with already

Fashion tips from nature. A very old comic that I still really like.

pigeon mug turned out so cute!!!!! #pottery

Neurodivergent people don't like being treated like children. Nobody likes that, I know, but it's something that happens to us more than most, and we hate it. Even when we were actual children, it was jarring, because most of us were born already old, albeit in the body of someone small and new.

Started work on a book of photographs and maybe an exhibition - this is one of my favourites from Toronto last November when I was gigging with Chris Hadfield and @twrpband.bsky.social #photography #toronto

'This mild day is too hot for me to go to the library' is my villain origin story

Tempted to follow this Harry Styles plan - dealing with All Of It by putting on a tiny pair of red shorts, and wiggling my arse around He can do it well, I can do it badly, I think it might work youtu.be/-rkjE0xc730?...

Am working on my tendency to apologise, by continuing to say sorry, then immediately shouting NO I'M NOT SORRY.

Furious that the only new books I have to read are the fucking enormous piles of things that look really interesting. I should probably get more.

My vacuum cleaner just tried to lock me out of my front door, by sliding its mouth along the floorboards. If it's one of the subset of yokai that doesn't like to be neglected... then honestly, vacuum cleaner, I think you make a good point.

It’s nice, isn’t it? The aaaaaaargh, fuck, fucking hell, shit, fuck

However momentarily, let this soothe & smooth your brain into restful rolling placid plasticine soundtracked by fluttering flute ‘n’ lute & enjoy admiring someone crafting beautiful, thoughtful things. Amazing that the creator of this unforgettable opening also designed terrifying Pan horror covers

A little friend I met today.

This lady is ten years old today

@regretteruane I saw these and thought maybe you might be interested? (It is Folk Archive account, some cool stuff in Blue Peter annuals) www.instagram.com/p/DXwKtcnje62

Happy May Day, and all the Beltane best, everyone! May your days bloom, and your mischief bring warmth

Beltane or Bealtaine was a Celtic/Gaelic festival held on the 1st May to mark the beginning of summer. One of the key parts of the festival (alongside massive bonfires, feasting & making merry with beer 👀) was the exchange of posies to bring good luck. Here's a Beltane posy for you from my garden 🌿

Missing my close personal friends, the characters in Small Prophets.

Look at this small TREASURE that the street has gifted to me At the start of the footpath on my driveway, as I got home (Small cat to give scale)

If you want to read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, I give notice that Penguin Classics version gives MASSIVE SPOILERS in the end notes End notes are for telling you what that bit of poem was, which hill that might be, and repeatedly saying things like 'Taylor retains the spelling "floorborde"'

This is the first technically brilliant piece of comedy I’ve ever seen this fraudulent toxic buffoon do. Nigel Tufnel good. A masterclass. Also: props to the team in the production booth who take his casual diss and then double down on making the joke work harder, using vision mixing.

I criticise myself so much, but I just looked at the list of books I've reserved at the library, and thought omg this woman sounds great, I want to be her friend

Woke up frightened, in the middle of the night, because I remembered a bit in this episode Hehehe HORRIBLE ENJOYMENT (If you've heard it, I bet you bloody know which bit it was)

I have bought SO MANY SEEDS They have tiny plants inside, in real science ahaha amazing Also they have worlds inside

First episode was marvellous. I saved it to listen to during a construction task. So now, every time I look at my small indoor greenhouse, I get a sense of the uncanny. Enjoyable times.

Hello sensory-seekers, if you haven't cooked with this you might like it. And if you have, you probably already like it. The bean is fermented soy, so it's hot, also comforting, savoury. From Japanese supermarket, I don't know if in big supermarkets too but have seen in Chinese and Korean ones.

Every time I go to his live things, it makes me have a better day They are also good events to go if you have any tendency to, for example, drop your belongings on the floor repeatedly and then start crying, as the audience members tend to be nice to you (me)

Mixed up how weather and radio apps function, and clicked on the news for later in the day, to see what events are happening in the future

a just and loving god would have let Hilary Mantel live to hear “the pope is weak on crime”

Listen to this, listen to this, pay them money and listen to this (You can get the first series free, but apparently people need to stay alive to make art, so you can say 'Thank you for that, please continue to live' by paying for the next one)

Was accidentally late for dinner in my own house, because I got excited, and organised the books in the free library at the train station

Miniature fox cubs in garden! Smallest I've ever seen, really dark, only just turning red, two of them EXCITEMENT DAYS

it is important to remember that, while seeing your art holistically is good business, it is not FOR business. it is for your SOUL. great branding is a side effect. so if you are shy then BE SHY, that is YOU. the holistic art of thomas pynchon is that he is notoriously shy. just follow your soul

Looking for thoughts on your favourite English translations of classic books (also which ones to avoid)

That is what satire is otherwise you’re not satirising anything and it’s not satire it’s just a bunch of stuff you said

There was an Adam & Joe episode where Adam recounted watching Paul Burrell eat kangaroo bumhole et al, in I'm A Celeb, and that it was so great he shouted I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME at the tv This documentary is in the magical group of shows that did the same for me

"But if we lift the two child benefit cap they won't spend the extra money on fruits, vegetables and pulses" Even poor kids deserve Monster Munch, you eel in a suit, suck my balls.

The urge to say something comforting and having no adequate words

Read for joys of good, small things of being human

An AuDHD film fanatic has “basically got the gist” of most of the films they’ve listed on their Letterboxd account, sources have claimed.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

The sexiest moment in literature - Captain Wentworth noticing that Anne Elliot doesn't want someone else's toddler clambering on her & smacking her in the face - he picks up the child & hands it back to its father, who's just been dicking around, chatting

In case you’re also a fan of pansies and violas here are a few more. Dopamine from pansies= pansamine ✔️🌿

This is utterly jaw-dropping. A school that bans Atwood, Zadie Smith, Terry effing Pratchett and *literal George Orwell* is actively harming its pupils. www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/scho...
