I feel spiritually related to the first grapes. “small but good”

Well there goes my Holiday in Cambodia

I love the fact that the reaction of primary-school-aged Glasgow weans, faced with the news that there was a terrifying bogle haunting the cemetery, was "let's tool up and go completely Buffy on him".

I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.

These screenshots are making me angry in a way that I cannot express without perhaps getting permanently banned from Bluesky

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

A short non -exhaustive list of things that are worse than paracetamol and require it: - Dengue fever (NEVER take ibuprofen or aspirin!) - most types of fevers from respiratory illnesses, covid etc - labour pains according to the NHS - a broken leg according to my old school

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Ah okay, so long as the EU citizens don’t get screwed it’s all right then 👍

This is Amroth and Nimrodel erasure though, where you see a beautiful woman and recite poetry at her and are then parted from her forever. You jump into the sea from a ship and she becomes (separately) a river.

“And then I answered, completely still in my old frame of mind, that I couldn’t possibly spend the night in a strange room…”

This lovely gift shop in the high street staffed by a little old lady got shut down in Jan. (landlord raised rents I think). Now there’s a Reformer Pilates studio there. 😔

I know free speech etc but can we permanently ban the use of the word “throbbing”. Just bin this word

Was so confused but also happy but also confused

Am not complaining at all but I didn’t imagine that my husband getting interested in cooking would mean strange bottles of complicated spices overtaking my kitchen. Sir what is star anise doing in my house

As a kid found it annoying that every other state was represented in Mile Sur Mera Tumhara by actors, actresses, dancers and singers while we (West Bengal) got… … a bunch of elderly Bengali uncles walking slowly out of a metro car

Hadn’t noticed this earlier but she also says to M “Yeah, keep making threatening sounds while I finish my drink. Once I’m done with my mead* I will beat your ass” *madhu

Oh and at some point in the battle, Mahishasura (the demon) turns into a “noyono-bimohono purush” (eye-beguilingly handsome man) hand the goddess just kinda glares irritatedly at him

Durga was really like “ Hair, nails, blade, mascara / Fit check for my napalm era” at least in the Mahalaya version of the story

There are half a million H1B visa holders in USA. Their families, their children, everything will be uprooted, So this will affect nearly 1.5 million people. $100K visa fees, every year! And make no mistake, Reform will bring the same to the UK.

Have you all lost it

You know together we’re golden Gonna be, gonna be golden 💔

They’re 100% going to do that. They have already done that by the way (10 year vs 5 year ILR); I expect worse.

if I can give a piece of "theory of change" advice: never never never make a purchasing decision to stay away from a brand for ethical reasons *without letting them know that's what you've done*. they don't have a way to know otherwise. spend 5 minutes and send an email to the company.
