If Paddington offered you a lift in his car would you accept?

This whole thing is WILD

I'm aiming for 30 sign ups to my kickstarter campaign over the holidays. Fan of dark fantasy, Scottish folklore, audiobooks? Give it a "Notify me" click and share with others you know! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tri...

A group of elderly people on the bus are looking at the new Coyote Ugly bar in town and going "Honky Tonk saloon? What's that then?" "Most famous bar in town? No it's not" "It's new" "Have you been in yet?"

For your collective delectation this holiday season: Quite possibly the silliest thing I've ever written (and definitely the most ridiculous graph I've ever made!) loreandordure.com/2025/12/16/j...

If I were a steep slope contour line I would feel so overwhelmed by all the other contour lines so close to me

My child has eaten something that has vegetables in it!!!!!!!!!!

I wish a notice like this wasn't necessary. www.icrc.org/en/article/i...

Just had my first Creme Egg of the festive season 🎄

This is it. The routine to beat all routines. My life will be absolutely brilliant and well-controlled and I have even scheduled in time to manage unexpected situations!!!! And I have practiced how to manage these unexpected situations!!!! Everything is going to be great!!!!

Any idea what the penultimate word might be? This is an RAF Navigator's diary from 1941. I cannot show more handwriting examples just now but I cannot work out what this place is. Begins with G and ends with -den? I've been Googling and looking at coastal maps of West Europe but nothing.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Bilal. Bilal was a software developer before this who worked on sites like Upwork. He is living in tents with his family of 19 including many nieces and nephews and his children Muhammad, 6, Hour, 2 and little Fares who is just 40 days old.

In other news last night I dreamed I was on a 5 hour bus journey to Heathrow Airport, with a screaming baby, and we drove past a massive, massive Cutty Sark that was painted bright white.

I frequently think about what I would do if I suddenly landed in 1988 - the year I was born - but as my current age. Could I get back to 2025? How would I find out how to do that? Who would I speak to?

Does anyone know if submitting a new and updated Herbert Protocol form will supercede the previous version? You'd think so. Is there one big database?

Can you still get BNA access via Caffè Nero?

Lots of church building chat on my feed. Reminding me that last week, I found a mid-19th C. reference to a church that supposedly didn't exist yet, and now I need to track down what the heck happened. (Context below)

Look, okay, the problem was the medium

Toddler said the word "friend" for the first time, while pointing at an elderly lady he just met on the bus, and if that didn't warm the hearts of any child-hating individual I don't know WHAT will

Healthcare admin being very frustrating at the moment. It is entirely unreasonable to expect a patient's family members to make a three-hour round trip to arrange their weekly dosette box when there is scope for a MAR chart (that protects not just the dementia patient but the carers too).

Other chronic pain-havers - do you find you know you're going to have a bad night, even if you take your pain relief in advance? I think tonight is going to be like last night

In a lot of pain so using this 4am-being-awake rubbish to finally try and make space on my phone

Feel free to use this.

Orphan Black!!

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Kawthar. Kawthar has a chronic illness she needs medicine for and her husband has progressive hearing loss. They are trying care for their 5 children, 3 of whom were injured in a bombing Essa, 15, Sahar, 13, Naghma, 11, Dima, 8 and Mohammed, 5

Everyone say "good night" to the toy train (that I've had to put to bed to convince my toddler that it's also his bedtime)

My UG was History + Philosophy and I spent most of my dissertation (which was on John Locke and his real life experiences of toleration/intolerance) wondering who gets to decide what gets archived and how they would catalogue it.

WHY ARE GROWN MEN WEARING HARRY POTTER MERCH

Good luck to Google cos my Gmail is my spam account.

Quite a lot of the time, the benefits of commuting are really clear...but then sometimes your trains are cancelled and you take four buses and two hours to get you to work and your child to nursery.

🚆 🚉 AFTER BEING A COMMUTING TODDLER SINCE APRIL 2024 MY SON HAS STARTED TO RECITE "SEE IT SAY IT SORTED"

"luba mummy MWAH" ❤️😍🥰😭

The benefit of carriages being separate from each other is that apparently, when one has actual flooding because rain water is literally coming through the ceiling, you can just lock that carriage off and keep it attached to the train but the train...still...runs?

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Ah yes the part of the night when you don't know if you're hearing electricity because you're autistic or because you took your venlafaxine slightly later than you should

Beginning a sentence in a very cheery manner, and ending it with a wince-worthy embarrassed squeal: "Nice to see you!!! See you next Tuesday, at...the...funeral...!?"

I did not know people don't really use USB drives anymore (for casual use not business purposes)

If you had to store books, papers and furniture in a cold garage in Scotland, potentially for years, what's the best way to do so to avoid mould or mildew?

Remember, gang, if you’re yelling insults at ICE, stick to things that will be deeply humiliating if they’re read aloud in court. Consider “Your parents only love you out of obligation, not because they like you,” “l bet you jerk off to the Teletubbies” and of course, the Yo Mama joke.

Everyone talks about pattern recognition in autism but no-one talks about what it feels like when you see something that should be a pattern but isn't. A bus number 12002 with a number plate ending in 0DM and a bus number 12007 with a number plate ending in 0DT.

“it’s 2025, surely nobody could still be using ‘password’ as their password” the louvre: hold our baguette

Have we had a more unifying figure than Andrew MW in recent times? (derogatory)

What would you get for the individuals of a group of people (neighbours, friends) who are doing you and your family a monumental favour during a time of bereavement? (In this case, dog walking)

My toddler appears to have put something in my Amazon basket through Alexa so OKAY THAT'S A THING NOW.

Drop something PINK 💗💞

Nerve pain in the leg making it difficult to sleep

Really, the writing was on the wall for the Disney/BBC Doctor Who deal when the full length Dugadoo song got taken off Spotify
