This looks like it’s happening and I’m excited

can’t believe that in 2026 merriam webster actually updated the collective noun for a group of historians to “a despair”

In case nobody’s thinking I’ve got game, I just tried to flirt with a woman by offering her some goose food

Wes Streeting origin story

This looks like it’s happening and I’m excited

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

I’d be interested. I also notice a lot of ND people I’m mutuals with seem to have spouses/partners, and that’s not a dig at partnered up people, but it definitely changes the financial reality for ND people who are unable to work and don’t live with someone with a salary.

Is this a thing you’d actually go for? I’d opt for silly, snort-out-loud stories but also a comfort listen

Saw The Blair Witch Project for the first time recently. Always meant to, never did. Disappointed the ending wasn’t the witch on strings doing a little puppet dance, surrounded by all her wooden hangy things

Me visiting the JobCentre: So I’ve tried everything. Turning up at the boiler house, lumbering coal back and forth, screaming ‘can you give me a job’ dementedly at this guy with eight limbs

This is great news, and hopefully, other broadcasters might be looking at this and thinking, 'Maybe we need to up our game on this front'.

On 20 April 1992, 'A Concert For Life' took place at Wembley Stadium as a tribute to Queen singer Freddie Mercury and for aids awareness. The concert was broadcast live to 76 countries, reaching an estimated television audience of one billion people.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

They should produce a version of Hamlet where, every time a character dies, somebody in the Paddington costume arrives and walks them off the main stage.

Look at that face. If I had my own place I would have her in a heartbeat. Somebody take her and give Chrissy some love. www.cats.org.uk/warrington#a...

God bless you, Mary Bennet

There’s a duck knitted vest under there

I have a benign tumour that I’m getting burnt off!! Thrilled. I’ll feel like a creme brûlée

Jesus (on the phone to Samaritans): But what if everybody was better off without me? What if they celebrate the day I die? What if they put the word ‘Good’ in front of it, cackling to themselves whilst necking as many Mini Eggs as possible

Jesus buttering a hot cross bun:

When your GP asks if you would like a chaperone, never respond with ‘what, like a child actor?’. They will not find it funny

Hire me for all your serious social media needs. I’m hoping to break into specialist law

I take it all back. April Fools Day is still worth it.

When are they gonna do something that IS for the faint hearted? I've been waiting so long.

This is like learning Dolly wrote “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You” in the same day

Spring is coming (with a Mini Egg in the mouth) 🪺🌈

Me: Autism makes it harder to imagine what others are thinking Them: You don’t understand why a person would cry Me: It’s more like dress codes and unspoken social expectations, or trying to suss out somebody’s ulterior motives Them: So you really didn’t care when we lost Uncle Steve

My mother’s comments on my writing so far: ‘It’s very…niche, isn’t it?’ ‘Have you tried ringing Women’s Hour? Couldn’t they have you on?’ ‘You’ll just have to disregard what people think of you. Like when I first started doing aerobics.’

Fondly remembering the time my Dad said my article in The Independent ‘looked like a real writer had done it’. As opposed to the residential plumber

Made some really lovely friends recently and naturally I’m starting to wonder if they’re all sick of me because I don’t feel deserving of them. It’s the most gentle, straightforward love and encouragement. They make me feel so okay about myself it feels criminal, frankly

Right, anybody fancy hosting a Donnie Darko themed breakfast

Stop producing AI images of dead children. They don’t belong in your tribute. Share their photograph, draw them, write about them. Honour who they were.

Just seen a casting call for a ‘Tiny Baby’ in a short film (aged approximately 3-4 months) and as part of the application they’re asking parents to list how much on-set experience their baby has?? THEY’RE THREE MONTHS OLD

Thinking about the time I tried to go into World Book Day dressed as Susie Salmon from The Lovely Bones and my parents had to stage an intervention
