1. Tomorrow's my birthday and here's a gift you can get for me: Buy a small creator's work. Local band, indie writer, up-and-coming visual artist, that crafter down the street, or whomever. Your support matters to them, especially in this economic/social environment. And you deserve some joy, too.

Excited to get tickets to see @josielong.bsky.social for the first time in aaages! Been a fan since loudly guffawing in the front row at Kindness & Exuberance at the Fringe a decade ago. Can't wait!

Sad news about Val Kilmer. Tombstone is an all-time favourite, but Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang holds a special place in my heart. youtu.be/jUcgoTQs4eA?...

That lasted about 3 hours then I had to have a lie down. MS is a bitch 😣

At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.

And we reach the sweet spot between Too Fkin Cold and Too Fkin Hot 😎

Everyone talks about China nicking American ideas, but as far as I can tell China thought of having an insane Cultural Revolution wayyyy before the USA caught up

On his own social media platform, and without providing any evidence to back up his claims, Elon Musk indicates the skies over America are deeply dangerous for air travelers. And, of course, that his company - quite by chance, you understand - will be filling the breach.

The latest sonnet: #22 - INDIGO: Indigo Tunnel is an abandoned railway tunnel in Allegany County, Maryland, in the USA. It probably isn’t haunted. But what if it was?   CONTENT NOTE: MENTION OF VOMIT.  The Ghosts of Indigo Tunnel… #28sonnetslater #28sonnetslater #Colours #Indigo #LeanneModen
