I’d love some political hope, something to really get behind, but dear god…

… @sarahvanpelt.bsky.social ?

The air is full of weird tiny white flies I thought were ash for a bit. This morning a massive tractor drove past me in town and he was either transporting silage or he had a really bad tummy. #somersetlife

In honour of the Peanuts anniversary two of my favourite strips (a heavy Lucy focus)

The Sundance Kid, Bob Woodward, whoever he was in The Sting, HUBBELL oh god

I have nothing against Cumberbatch and Coleman (big of me!) BUT I think The Roses PR team might’ve maybe possibly a tiny bit ever so slightly gone a bit overboard

Purdy & Figg have finally broken me on Instagram. Now my home will magically smell of a kitten’s neck, a summer meadow at dusk, and gullible old woman.

I’d be fucking fuming if that is not, in fact, Laura

Someone’s had a great Somerset night out.

One of the nicest people I know in need of some proper, expert help.

Genuine respect for the big flies who, no kidding, fuck off if you give them fair warning. It’s the dopey, lingering, fly in a triangle formation twats who really get me agitated

I’ve always thought stamp collecting was a worthwhile endeavour shop.royalmail.com/special-stam...

Can we vote for that young woman in Skegness to run things? Or at least get consulted on policy because she’s got other shit to do?

I’ll say it again. Even louder

#Lestweforget etc how far we’ve come, I was cricket mad as a school kid in the 70s/80s but we weren’t given the option to play that or football. So chuffed for all those young girls who can watch this match, get hooked and dream.

My husband is watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid so I’ve been delighting him by anticipating the dialogue slightly incorrectly. I’ve left the room now because the last bit’s too sad. I am a joy

Oh no…

Word of advice, Tom. You don't like Glastonbury and millions do. Keep quiet. Otherwise, you look and sound a right tosser.

I don’t really do gigs these days, but CMAT pre Glastonbury in Frome was just lovely. And in a @ravesfromthegrave.bsky.social t-shirt too

I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it...

I have a new hero. This owl stole a child's hobby horse and flies around with it!

Some of y’all cant handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows. This is direct communication (phallocentric) vs indirect communication (gynocentric). I understand you aren't used to it

I'd rather save art, human creativity and good music, but maybe that's just me

Shout this, by @casmudde.bsky.social, from the rooftops. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

That’s good, because I was worried

The anticipation is papalable.

We’re under diagnosing Raging Cunt Syndrome

I am an atheist but by the power of Robert Powell’s contact lenses it’s hot cross buns and/or fish tomorrow, chocolate on Sunday.

I absolutely love this

Remember when it’s someone you like who gets one that it’s the same shitty system that gives this lot an honour and that the whole thing is flawed

Also please let it be this weather until, like, October. It’s fucking glorious

Genuinely had to keep rewinding the ADHD podcast I was listening to because I kept getting distracted

Posted a photo on Facebook for work. Someone said ‘that’s not Frome’ so I explained (as op) where the photo was taken. Now people are chiming in with theories as to the location. We’re so fucked.

Marine Le Pen, eh

Last call! 5.30 tonight, i'm in conversation with the great Miranda Sawyer at Rough Trade Denmark st London about my new book Maybe I'm Amazed, music, autism & much more. Tix from a fiver here dice.fm/event/92oga9...

Theirs was a forbidden love.

I thought it was pronounced WHissmiths and in the 80s they had a massive brilliant craft section (when all this were fields etc)

I took this years ago and it’s a bit grey today, but this lovely magnolia is out again so here you go.

I don’t know where to go after Adolescence

@msyellowhat.bsky.social @sarahvanpelt.bsky.social I finished Adolescence today. I’d read your conversation about it from a while back and thought there might be some ambiguity in the treatment but wtf were people watching?

Oh my god

The one with the hat needs to toughen up

Or ‘cooking’

‘So what do you do for a living?’ ‘Me? I reply to emails from people who can’t navigate a website. Oh and sometimes people who are chasing something I can’t get to because I’m answering their email’

A staggeringly good film, that is somehow both hilarious and terrifying

Or just have a pancake.

Hung out my first washing of the year today.

Zelensky not punching him right in the face is perhaps the greatest act of self-restraint I have ever witnessed.
