I went to the Museum of London Docklands' mudlarking exhibition on Saturday, and it was an absolute delight. So many fascinating things, including the incredible Battersea Shield - familiar from every British primary school history book - and it is utterly breathtaking.

My friend just told me that the gig we're going to on Saturday is 60s themed. Thankfully, my flat is basically the shop from Mr Benn, so I've thrown together a look I like to call "if you inflated Janis Joplin"

You KNOW you need one of these booklets. If you can't welcome a spooky but festive bone horse into your home at the end of the year, when can you?

The problem with chronic pain conditions is you can't always tell when you've got pain that's unrelated. I think I've done something to both rotator cuffs but it has taken a couple of weeks to realise it. I hope the physio can help on Thursday.

Little Mari’s re-enactment of Goya’s Saturn devouring his son with jam and toast

My cat has more toys than any cat could ever need. So why is he chasing a roll of Sellotape around the flat? When I got back from my quick trip to the shops, the kitchen bin was sideways, the kitchen door was no longer wedged open, and the Sellotape was in the middle of the kitchen floor.

I found a friendly face in the charity shop. I have wanted a Tiki mug forever, probably because of Sccoby Doo or something like that on ky childhood.

An ad for some really terrible glass baubles appeared on my FB. I have opinions that I have included in the alt-text but honestly, they're so awful I think I might need them.

MARI LWYD CHARITY AUCTION UPDATE! 2 wonderful delivery’s arrived today!! A postcard by @walkingintherayn (insta) and a postcard and crocheted mari lwyd ornament by @wyvernchick.bsky.social Please go see all the entries so far here!: skullsandsheetsauction.wordpress.com

I wish I had the energy and patience to write books. I want to write about a society of LGBTQIA+ wizards just so I can write their magic spells in Polari instead of something vaguely resembling Latin.

I sent an important but not financially valuable package first class tracked on Friday. I took it to the post office and they told me it would be in the Saturday collection to arrive Monday. The tracking status is "We're expecting your item". YOU'VE ALREADY GOT IT! I handed it to you. Where is it?

#OTD 1966 • Aberfan Disaster 🥀 On Friday the 21st of October 1966, a wave of coal waste slid down the Aberfan Valley, taking the lives of 116 children and 28 adults with it. #Wales #History

I see that JD "Just Dance" Vance is here on Bluesky. Clearly he turned left when he should have turned right to the cesspit that is X. He'd be much more at home there. His bullshit won't fly here.

I've just realised that all my favourite spectator sports - American football, Formula 1, and ice hockey - all require the wearing of helmets. I don't think that signifies anything in particular, but it's a funny coincidence.

Um... YouTube just randomly served up a video of Yungblud singing I Was Made for Lovin' You, and now I think I might need a cold shower and a lie down in a darkened room. This is a bit much for someone in perimenopause.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

I know I'm a little behind the curve on this, but K-Pop Demon Hunters is a bit good, isn't it? The music is fantastic and I love the aesthetic of it. Also, I need Derpy in my life.

Absolutely exhausted but have had a fun day at the local convention. I went as Grotbags and got the most amazing reaction from people. So many asked for photos, and I loved chatting about 80s and 90s kids telly. I also had my cat sketched by one of the Beano artists that came out perfectly 🥰

I'm one of those autistics who spots patterns in the weirdest places, and one thing that keeps coming back to me in light of Ian Watkins' death, and that's the video for A Town Called Hypocrisy. That video always made me deeply uncomfortable for exactly the reasons that he was ultimately jailed.

This is just a three-minute sketch, but I'm thinking of painting 'Stupid Cupid' Trump impaling Uncle Sam on a MAGA arrow, in an Old Master style. Thoughts..? #caricature #art

My brain has been behaving really well this week, but I'm starting to feel a crash coming on. I just hope it waits until Sunday because it's my local convention on Saturday and I'm planning to dust off Grotbags again.

I picked up a THIS superfood block yesterday. Decided to ignore the cooking instructions and roast it whole in the air fryer. It was brilliant. It's so tasty, and it's nice to have a plant based thing that isn't pretending to be meat. Not that I mind that, but this was a brilliant change.

Here is Timbits looking very handsome. He's an awesome little cat.

My sister is in London at the moment, and today she decided to go to pay her respects to her musical hero, George Michael. An unexpected side effect of this is that she now understands why I love Victorian cemeteries, because she completely fell in love with Highgate.

Meanwhile, three people are in custody and the attacker is also dead. All three of the dead should be alive now, and the people in hospital should be at home with their families, and yet there's an air of inevitablilty about it that is utterly heartbreaking. We are all humans. That should be enough.

Today has made me deeply sad. Attacking a synagogue on Yom Kippur is such a calculated act of hate. I am as angry as anyone about what Netanyahu is doing, but attacking a Jewish congregation in England isn't going to make the slightest bit of difference, and now two people are needlessly dead.

A real life Bluesky mascot

Mondays are blah. I always work extra hours on Monday so I can work a short day on Friday, so it's worth the effort, but blah. And there's a fucking orange twat on my telly AGAIN. Can't they just record whatever he's wanging on about and give us edited lowlights later?

Jim Caviezel Met Vin Diesel Going to the fair Said Jim Caviezel To Vin Diesel “Ha! You’ve got no hair” Quoth Vin: “Tis fair,” My pate is bare, But this is incidental; For tonsure-free I’d rather be Than totally fucking mental”

"Dale a tu cuerpo alegría, Macarena Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegría y cosa buena Dale a tu cuerpo alegría, Macarena Hey Macarena, ay!"

OMG so excited! My little sister just surprised me with tickets to see Take That in Cardiff next year. I didn't see the Circus tour first time around and it's probably my favourite TT album. Can't wait!

The Tiny Chumps are getting ready to appear in panto at the Swindon Wyvern. This doodle is entirely the fault of the smallest of the Big Chumps, who has actually donned the threatened Buttons costume.

Also, I just came across this infographic, and it turns out there are a surprisingly large number of wallaby colonies in the UK.

i think this rules that he recognizes this and said it when everyone was watching

After the last few... months... years? who knows? I was pleased to see some good news today. The first was the announcement that for the very first time, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated, with a therapy that can slow its progress by around 75% www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Can we put the Orange Oaf back on the roof of the White House and leave him there all winter?

Mabon blessings to those who celebrate

I feel for the families who've lost children to pertussis, and those dealing with children who are extremely sick with it. I had pertussis for three months when I was 5 years old, followed by pneumonia, and quite how it didn't kill me is something I still can't quite understand. Please vaccinate.

The Tangerine Twat makes me incredibly angry on a daily basis, but he really excelled himself with his unhinged autism rant today. I have no idea why he wants to eradicate people like me. Then again, I predate both MMR and DTAP and I'm still autistic as fuck, so what he wants to do won't work.

My Polish bestie told me that a Polish comedy series on Netflix was actually funny. It's called 1670 and it turns out she's right. Think Blackadder meets What We Do In The Shadows, with a hint of Horrible Histories and you'll be in about then right area. It is available dubbed into English.

Has Melania joined witness protection?

Mr Timothy Bits can't believe the audacity of the vet, who described him as a "chunky potato".

"Oi, Kumquat Face! You've done enough damage, we'll be taking it from here." #wewantourcolonyback #notreallybutitsathought

Soldiers in Revolutionary War-style Redcoat uniforms with periwigs, playing period music in front of the Tangerine Taco looks like a challenge to a rematch to me.

"Yes your Majesty, my hat was inspired by the President's bouffant"
