Possible new record for a French government, this one might last less than 24 hours. #wtfrance

Son 2 went to a stargazing event this evening and got a really cool photo of #saturn

It’s Sunday night, windy and pouring down rain. Time to share an unimportant yet juicy piece of gossip!

I shouldn't need to say this, but I guess it's how social media works: just because someone doesn't post about something doesn't mean they don't care about it. If I posted to express my sadness at every atrocity, racist incident, horrific murder or terrorist attack that happened in the world I'd […]

That feeling when your toddler eats a fresh, unprocessed, piece of fruit or vegetable without acting like you’re poisoning them. #parenting

The fascist hatred for pedestrians and cyclists really ought to be studied: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2025-09-25/bologna-s-citta-30-safety-policy-draws-fire-from-italy-s-government

Celebrating #WipWednesday and #socktober with this nearly finished sock the The Hobbit (yes, I know, hobbits don’t wear socks). It’s the Stretchy Baby Socks pattern by Pink Zombie on ravelry. Simple and quick, perfect for someone like me who hasn’t done a lot of socks before.

We need a bigger tent, that’s why we must betray and expel the following types of people:

I bought this bottle of vitamin D pills because this is autumn and winter in Denmark. Half of the content is just air. How much of the disposable plastic we manufacture on this planet exists to sell literally nothing?

"Tony Blair is ready to govern Gaza" the non-solution truly no one asked for. It's neo-colonial, condescending, absolutely useless, so many levels of absurd, I really can't figure out what anyone except for him would get out of this.

Seriously bummed that the Rapture doesn't seem to have taken any of the Christian fundies who have been shouting about it. I thought we were finally going to have some peace.

Just realized I forgot to post my annual advice to college students before the school year started – but well, it's never too late to start: - GOING THE FUCK TO CLASS - GOING THE FUCK TO BED - DOING YOUR FUCKING HOMEWORK THIS IS THE MAGICAL TRINITY OF NOT HATING YOURSELF OR FEELING YOU'VE […]

Few things piss me off as much as someone spinning a tale of woe, saying they’re living paycheck to paycheck and when you dig a bit, you realise they don’t have money at the end of the month because they spent it all on city trips by plane every other weekend, or on maintaining their three cars […]

I still need to weave in the ends and block it, but this #holgersweater by #petiteknit is DONE! A full month ahead of the day it’s due as a birthday gift 🥳. #knitting

With one row to go on the baby sweater I’m knitting, I have lost yarn chicken 😭 Luckily I found a swatch I made with this yarn ages ago, so I am frogging it. Unfortunately it was knit with a strand of mohair, and detangling the two yarns is making me reconsider my hobbies. #knitting

While @Pepijn is off with The Hobbit in the Netherlands, I am living the life of a cool, free, unattached woman. So tonight I am watching a documentary about soviet bus stops while knitting, wearing my best Cookie Monster pyjamas.

The Onion remains undefeated in reporting. https://theonion.com/trump-spends-entire-u-k-trip-trying-to-figure-out-where-he-knows-prince-andrew-from/

Sometimes I think about the Pelicot trial, and something that haunts me is that a dozen of men who raped her have never been identified. There are men walking around in France right now who committed this crime, watched the trial, and are probably congratulating themselves on getting away with it.

Benoît Hamon, ancien candidat PS aux présidentielles : « Ils nous ont dit que le revenu universel était une belle idée, mais qu'on ne pouvait pas la mettre en place, car cela créerait 1000 milliards d'euros de dette en plus. Sauf qu'avec Macron, on a bien eu 1000 […] [Original post on piaille.fr]

My mom and I are planning a city trip, and I get to pick any city in Europe. I made a shortlist of places that sound kinda neat, and researching them more in depth. Every single City Tourism website I check starts their list of things to do with "Shopping". Not the sights, not the places to stay […]

I want you all to know it’s taking all my willpower to not post photos of my child on here (or online at all) because they’re seriously the cutest little human there ever was and I wish everyone could bask in the adorableness. Being privacy conscious as a parent really has big downsides […]

Just realised all my American friends have "Elizabeth", "Marie" or "Catherine" as either their first or middle names. (including variations on the spellings)

I find it interesting how many of us posting in the #silentsunday hashtag post photos without people. We have forests, seas, lakes, cities, interior, exterior, but almost never humans. It says a lot about what we consider noise.

#silentsunday #lehavre

A friend who is pregnant told me she has a favorite name, but is worried that it’s a bit too “out there” and wonders if she should pick a more normal one. I know the conventional wisdom is “pick a normal name”. I completely disagree. “Normal” is very subjective for starters. Also, you will use […]

"C'est le minimum syndical": pour Thomas Piketty, il n'y a aucune raison de ne pas appliquer la taxe Zucman taxer à hauteur de 2% les patrimoines supérieurs à 100 millions d'euros pourrait rapporter jusqu'à 20 milliards d'euros Avec 2% (de taxation, NDLR) par an, il faudrait un siècle pour […]

"You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It's drivel. But I am—I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment […]

“What did you do at work today?” “Not much, just hung out.”

Today in transphobia hurts all women, the entire French women's boxing team is unable to participate in the world championship because the results of their "feminity tests" were not shared with the international federation on time […]

NO COPILOT I DO NOT WANT YOU TO SUMMARIZE THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAS BEEN VERY PRECISELY WORDED FOR VERY SPECIFIC LEGAL REASONS OH MY GOD GO AWAY #workingwithai

On est dans un monde absolument barge.

Bah ils travaillent espèce d’abruti

Influencer: *Absolutely wild claim* Commenter: "wow, that's crazy. Can you share a source?" Influencer: "sure, here you go: www. website. com/whatever?utm_source=chatgpt.com"

What holiday rentals websites show: - A photo of a candle lit in the bathroom. - A view of the sunset from the beach 2km away. - The kitchen from 5 different angles. What I want: A layout of the apartment so I can be sure I am not sleeping in the living room or sharing a room with my in-laws.

Forgot to bring my headphones to the gym and now I have to deal with the standard background music which is best described as “electro-pop AI vomit remix”. It’s intolerable.

Americans will say something like "I grew up in a small town" and it's a city with over 50,000 people.

A few big companies stepped back from their environmental commitments, and it started rumours of a negative trend. The rumours are wrong. More and more companies are - often voluntarily - setting carbon and climate targets for themselves and making tangible plans to follow through […]

When I was a kid my dad sometimes worked night, coming home at around 2am. The mornings after we would tiptoe around the house and whisper to avoid waking him up. I realize now this was completely unnecessary. There is no feeling as glorious as waking up, listening to a child getting up, and […]

What's the male equivalent of Resting Bitch Face? #askmastodon

@Ruth_Mottram There's a reason why the fossil fuel industries look for fascism for support. Because nothing even remotely approaching a "rational market" would support a fossil fuel business model in the long run.

I feel quite annoyed today. My mom and her husband drove up a few days ago with a car full to the brim of second hand toys, clothes and books for The Hobbit, collected from the whole family. I knew that was coming but had assumed they send us things after sorting them. Instead I am having to […]
