My recipe for my first #StainedGlassSunday contribution to BlueSky: Begin with stained glass. Add sunlight, Lincoln Cathedral, and stir. Blend the material with the immaterial.

I need to cook these potatoes

Cooking, lentil and roast tomato soup, and passionfruit impossible pudding *nods*

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger. www.paris.fr/pages/la-mei...

kinda wild to realise that all the checks and balances of american democracy were really just thoughts and prayers all along

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books.

I made a passionfruit impossible pudding tonight, and it was delicious

I need this as a small poster for the kitchen 🧀

It is 1991. I am 15 years old. The US has gone to war in the Middle East. It is 2003. I am 27 years old. The US has gone to war in the Middle East. It is 2026. I'm too old for this shit. The US has gone to war in the Middle East.

Makin’ Breaky Bread

It’s still morning

Been to the markets, picked up my RARE AS HENS TEETH MEAT ORDER, got a bit of veg, exchanged hard pants for soft, and now waiting for the tall housemate to bring me coffee. Life, sometimes, can be good.

When a politician describes you as a "difficult woman" you are definitely doing something right. #auspol

In Australia, we practice trial by wombat

guess who has 4 paws, no spleen but most importantly NO CANCER!!!!! we got pathology results and confirmed no evidence of splenic malignancy 😎

“It actually doesn't take much to be considered a difficult woman. That's why there are so many of us.” Jane Goodall #AusPol

Working from home often requires compromises.

Eg

Activists from the anti-billionaire campaign group "Everyone Hates Elon" went to the Louvre museum in Paris where they hung a framed photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble on February 19.

“The Epstein class sexually abuses women and girls with impunity.” “The Epstein class covers up sexual abuses.” “The Epstein class work together to punish people who speak out against what they’re doing.” Look, “the Epstein class” is men.

Also, thinking is fun!

Can you imagine a general adoption of generative AI and then those controlling the AI are able to use it to, even perhaps with subtlety, change the answers to queries, to use just one example, so they're propaganda, untrue to help some special interest, etc.

This is a mental war that we have to win. It's not about being a luddite, it's about destroying or retaining the ability to think. It's about how insidious this becomes in a situation where generative AI is adopted and then subverted intentionally. www.thealgorithmicbridge.com/p/a-new-whar...

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

I just got woken up by the kids fighting:

Watching Jane Austen, Rise of a Genius, ani realising how absolutely FUCKED my sister and I would be I’d we were dependent on our brother 🙁

I'm a USA citizen. My husband is not. My kids are not. I've had people call me dramatic for saying it's not safe for us to visit right now. But it's not.

A pretty harrowing read, that one.

The bullshit that men write to try and fool/shame women into being domestic servants is really quite hilarious. (And incels who write this crap are NEVER romantic, loving and caring.)

Lovely late 15th century drawing from the Hausbuch von Schloss Wolfegg. I'm especially charmed by the kid standing on a horse holding on to his dad, big brother or lord. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ha...

I truly cannot believe police in Canberra closed down a bar because they had anti-fascist posters on their wall. Fuck right off with this illegal nonsense. If you live in Canberra make sure you buy a drink at this bar. #Fuckthepolice #Auspol

Lolly veg (teriyaki eggplant) for dinner tonight 🙂
