I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time

so my sister sends me this pic and says she thinks of the cats stepped on her brownies and uhhhh. yeah, i think that might have happened. (she ate the brownies not the kitties don't worry)

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The first three words of "look at this asshole" is "look at this".

The US and UK adoption processes are quite different but this would absolutely not fly in the UK. And as a single parent adopter, this guy needs to grow the fuck up. "Julia" is going to be zero help.

I’m after a little advice from anyone familiar with being a tourist in South Korea. My daughter has a college trip next month and I’m unsure about money. She’ll have local cash currency but will also need a card. Apparently Wowpass is the best but I’m unsure how it works. So grateful for any help!

Fascinating slippery use of numbers here: percentage used for those without power, to indicate its smallness; absolute number used for those with power restored to make it look bigger. I’m willing to bet good money that the first figure is multiples larger than the second.

The alarming thing is the news cycle moves so quickly you can mute a word for a week and the subject it relates to may never appear in your timeline again.

I managed to get out of my street today like a polar explorer of yore. I got to have afternoon tea with my friends and spend my book token. And then I got given another book token! Please note I have never before used the word yore.

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

Hey everyone I found a piece of news today that isn't bad: english.kyodonews.net/articles/-/6... #CatSky

If my birthday afternoon tea gets cancelled tomorrow it won't be due to lack of effort on my part. I need one of those cool nicknames like the gritting lorries have.

Just waiting for the bookshop to open so I can spend my @nationalbooktokens.bsky.social Honest

We should just send Danny Dyer in.

🎶I bet you think this post is about you, don't you?🎶

Going to stick my neck out and say no.

I miss Pluribus.

Same as it ever was.

I just want a subwoofer that can hit the resonance frequency needed to liquefy all my organs and bones, is that too much to ask

I have the words "Platty Joobs" stuck in my head today. But in a silly voice, like "PLAAAATTTYYY JOOOOOOOOBBBBSSS" You're welcome

On Monday one of my colleagues came back from 3 weeks leave and said he was not looking forward to retirement because he was bored just in that 3 weeks. This is the most incorrect thing I have ever heard anyone say.

Lot of horn chat on my timeline today. I am here for it.

Pink prosecco to end this birthday day #50AndFabulous

Discovered today that my 24 year old nephew has gallstones. Probably caused by him using Mounjaro to lose weight. That he took because he was going travelling and he had to leave Thailand to come home because he has gallstones. There's probably a lesson here.

Bad Luck Cutie

Quite happy to go with the elves at this point tbh.

My birthday breakfast. (I don't like eggs, tomatoes or beans before anyone starts)

The robin who came to say hello to me on this, my birthday 🎂

Having a birthday breakfast with my folks and a little robin is flying around in the cafe. He's very cute.

It me.

Oh fucking hell, it's not a mouse it's a bird

I am trying to get ready to leave the house to go into the office for a meeting and the bloody cat has a live mouse under my bed.

This poem is dedicated to anyone heading back into work and having to endure dull conversation about what they got up to during the Christmas holidays.

The teen's school is shut today as the heating has broken down. Brand new building. Only opened last Easter.

"She leaves no immediate survivors" sounds like a threat I can get on board with. June was a beast.

I love it when people say "With all due respect..." because you know they fucking hate you and do not respect you in the slightest.
