@jonnymorris.bsky.social I can't reply to ask where this quote is from

Looking for a new hairdresser, but getting annoyed at how many charge extra if you have thick hair. Because it's my fault genetics lumbered me with more hair than other people!

I'm not Scottish, and am outwith Scotland, but discovered how great a word it is during my university years.

Wouldn't it be easier to ban *all* the football fans from the match? The only people who can go to watch are people who really can't stand football.

Happy Birthday to Blue Peter! youtu.be/Oqm23ajfUNg

Everyone misunderstood Deep Thought. He didn’t say the answer was 42. He said it was “For tea, two.” That’s the answer to life, the universe, and everything

I was just discussing events from my childhood! Peering at the telly, trying to make sense of what I was seeing.

It is appalling that people who are at risk with covid aren't getting a jab on the NHS this year. It's also appalling that a private vaccination costs so much. I wonder how much it costs to produce?

Ooh, I bought one of those top albums! #TOTP

Whatever you think of Every Loser Wins, it's a song with a proper ending rather than just fading out. #TOTP

I wonder how many people did actually make the Blue Peter Dalek? You'd need a lot of egg boxes.

About time too!

This made me laugh more than it probably should 😂 #funny

Always knew coos were cool!

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚 #amindofmyown

Apparently, this was "nothing to do with skin colour". Robert Jenrick just likes "mixed communities". Which is why he has also criticised very white neighbourhoods or towns and villages up and down the UK, umm... <checks notes> never.

The Traitors

Tasmania or Tahiti. Yes they're almost the same place Mike! Clearly geography wasn't a qualification necessary to be a Radio 1 DJ then. #TOTP

If you're in London and swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond, please ensure our trans (and intersex and NB) sisters can keep enjoying the most body-positive, non-judgemental and frankly utopian spaces in the city. Letting the body police decide who's 'feminine enough' to swim would wreck it for all of us.

Birmingham Art Gallery was where I first discovered the Pre-Raphaelites. So glad some are finally going back on display. Can't wait to see them. www.birminghammuseums.org.uk/stories/artw...

Love this 😍

Today, Ukraine commemorates the Babyn Yar massacre - one of WWII’s darkest chapters. In Sept 1941, Nazis executed tens of thousands, mainly Kyiv’s Jews, along with Roma, POWs, and civilians. Babyn Yar stands as a symbol of Holocaust horrors. We remember to prevent history from repeating.

One of the inspirational women of my childhood - thanks to Blue Peter!

Yay! The Wonder Stuff #TOTP

You just don't get the tambourine breaks in synth pop anymore #TOTP

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

If you're not entitled to a free flu shot, you can get one privately from Asda for 60p(!!) as part of a promotional offer if you book online and can go before September ends. Here's the link: asda.cxmflow.com/OABS/Appoint...

"Grace in the barn" is genuinely quite harrowing .

If anyone fancies pissing on ITV's anniversary chips this evening, there's an extract from the "Grace in the Barn" bit of "The Archers" available here. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/a...

This is a very long shot but does anyone know anything about the waterproof/water resistant qualities of silk, or treatments to make silk waterproof in the early 20th century? (perhaps including a very tight weave, or coating it somehow?) Got a source? TIA! #academicSky #TextileHashtagWhatIs

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

This blanket accusation of „antisemitism“ thrown at Butler and many other scholars in the US as well as here is a fascist tactic of suppressing free speech. It is the biggest post WWII irony. Criticizing the government of the state of Israel has to possible & cannot be synonymous with antisemitism.

Was everyone's first response to this story that it would make a great film?

The Nuns on the Run story needs to be rolling all day. I want live nun tracking. Drone footage. Background on each nun. Nun memes. Nun merch. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

And this is what I went to the PV of - the nature of gothic @blackburnmuseum.bsky.social. It is stunning - urge people to visit.

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing. www.science.org/content/arti...

That's an incredible cast list! (With added Kenneth More by the looks of it)

Yes, “Skylar-On-Hinge” sounds like a small, quaint English seaside town to me, too
