Thank you to all the people who said "why not both?" You were correct. Please proceed with a swagger in your step today.

It’s the toast run with our sheep Squirrel & Frisbee, happy Monday

The whole "Brits stranded in Dubai" is garnering zero sympathy from me.

Playing a fun game of "Am I ovulating, or do I just have a giant poo brewing?' Place your bets people.

Hi, 58 year old American here! Cute cat picture but you're the reason the Democrats just lost the Gorton by-election to the Vladimir Putin party I assume

Have just discovered that the brand new jar of Nutella that I bought THIS MORNING has been eaten by the teen and her boyfriend. That was MY emotional support jar 😭

We are training undergrads (18-22) to digitize vcr tapes, cassettes, and vinyl. We introduce phrases like "rewind" into their vocab and made diagrams of what a tape looks like from 6 angles. And we get questions like "how do I rewind a record" which is understandable but turns my bones to dust.

I have also done bins and descaled the shower head. Which on closer inspection did not need descaling because it was actually covered in fake tan. #HowToTellYouLiveWithATeenageGirl

Done housework today Bluesky. Please clap. I hate housework with the power of 1000 suns.

It's about time for a thread of signs what I have seen and photographed.

In personal good news, not only is it Friday, it's also payday. I am drinking coffee and eating a pistachio cruffin in the dog friendly cafe. Said hello to one dog so far.

The world is a dark and dreary place these days, so here’s something to cheer you up: a miniature diorama by Japanese artist, Tanaka Tatsuya.

Yay insomnia

He's lucky it didn't break his arm

apparently the brits are fighting about something called “gorton and denton” today, which i assume is a late-night comedy show that did something controversial. won’t be looking into this

Adore the crazy weirdos. Road trip anyone of they play in the UK? youtu.be/pRgHYWOtqqc?...

I have returned 3 books to the library and taken out 6 more. This is the correct way. And there are nerds in here playing Dungeons and Dragons. It may just be the most perfect place on earth. #libraries

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

I think I might be feeling sad today but I am on anti depressants so I can't really tell. *Pokes eye with stick to feel something*

This but the Pope basically

it was getting dicey there for a minute but ok we can keep the internet

Bluesky.

Danielle Deadwyler is an actor who I will watch in anything. Super stoked for this and I was already super stoked for this!!!

The mermaid with cracking norks.

In 1900, German colonial authorities hanged Mangi Molelia for resisting their expansion into what is now Tanzania. A few days ago, his great-grandson Tony Molelia visited German to pray with Mangi Molelia's bones, held in one museum, and to wrap himself in the cloak his murders also stole.

This reminds me of those videos of the lady doing GRMW but her younger sister with down syndrome is doing the voiceover. And her sister is BRUTAL.

You know what guys? I am starting to think that maybe not everything is "iconic"

My books cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com

OMG if you google various Olympics phrases a big cartoon wolf-dog runs across your screen (seems to work for some search terms and not others)

I have spent far too much time today trying to decide whether I would choose to double barrel as Kok-Swings or Swings-Kok

Am I the only person hoping for a cross border speed skating Olympic romance between Bart Swings and Femke Kok?

My definitely not autistic grandfather took the train to London this week to find out where the number 46 bus goes now because the route has changed since he was last on it and he wanted to see it with his own eyes, so he rode the whole route and went home
