So it shall be done.

THE RESIGNATIONS OF PRIME MINISTER LECORNU WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

This may be the ultimate diss

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

I bought one of @swansonian.bsky.social's artworks for a friend and within five minutes of giving it to her, it was up on a wall. Highly recommend for gifting success.

Any of my bookworld friends – agents, authors, freelancers – having problems getting paid by @canelobooks.bsky.social? I'm supposed to get a small commission payment off them every six months, but they are over a year late and not acknowledging or replying to emails.

Turns out when you have a dinosaur drawing contest at your middle aged birthday party, people get really into it.

Is today the rapture day? Do I have time to rewatch that Nic Cage film where they're all raptured out of the plane?

Inefficient, impractical, embarrassing. And by embarrassing I mean that LNER thinks there needs to be a secret code.

We're looking to appoint a new administrator for our Social Sciences Impact Acceleration Account. This would be a great role for a graduate with good administrative skills who wants to learn a lot more about the non-academic impact of research www.stir.ac.uk/about/work-a...

"Sorry I'm late, I needed to stay in and worry about stuff I have no control over"

@swansonian.bsky.social pictures arrived today, thank you! (not posting as one's a gift)

Just went to send a DM to @rmholdsworth.bsky.social and it turns out you now need to verify your age to access messages. The way they do this is scanning your face and guessing your age. They do not let you know what age they guess, which would be the only interesting bit of the whole ordeal.

Something I find infuriating is that US real estate listings hardly ever include a floor plan. Why do they not do this. Why do they not understand the joy of a floor plan. (this is David Lynch's house: www.theagencyre.com/single-famil...)

ATTENTION: Please observe this absolute unit. Normal sized tissue box for scale.

We're just £70 away from our target, somehow. Next weekend I'll be rowing a three hour race up the Thames for @euansguide.com, a brilliant disabled access charity. In case you fancy chucking us a fiver: www.justgiving.com/page/eastern...

I’m starting to get a bit bored of being called lazy by people who want computers to do everything for them.

Just out of Fiddler on the Roof in Edinburgh. It was properly good. I think I actually preferred Matthew Woodyatt's very Welsh Tevye to Topol's (don't tell anyone).

Two bronze medals at North Berwick regatta today, including my first medal for coxing in this club. Both medals a surprise, as I think our whole club is worn out from the Worlds... but then so are the other clubs I guess. Definitely not complaining! 🚣🏼‍♀️🚣🏼‍♀️🚣🏼‍♀️

My team is recruiting an administrator in Edinburgh. Busy job, super chill small team. Come work with me! elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

I've been to a couple of #EIFF films so far - Ben Wheatley's BULK, an odd and engaging sci fi loophole-y adventure, which I loved, and then last night Surviving Earth, a beautiful but sad film about a Yugoslavian musician trying to make his life better. Tonight is The Golden Spurtle!

It's been a bit of a week at the skiff world championships, but technically I can now add "double silver medallist" to my CV

Rowing a three-hour-long race in September. But more importantly, we're raising money for Euan's Guide, a brilliant wee charity that collates user reviews of disability access in places across the UK. I know money is tight, but if you have a couple of quid?... www.justgiving.com/page/eastern...

Stand up for trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️ Join me and @goodlawproject.org and help us fight the Supreme Court’s harmful decision goodlawproject.org/s/c41bb8

oh you mean like every other time they've tried this? everywhere else in the world?

Broke my ankle. First time in my life I've broken a bone. Three months before our world championships. Of course. Please send ice cream

@ennacooper.bsky.social I only come here to talk to you.

Today my doctor phoned me (on a Sunday!) to tell me I didn't need to change my medication dosage, which I have previously had to either up or down every six months since diagnosis, and let me tell you I am DELIGHTED

Am I up at 7.30am watching a film in the darkness on my new projector? Of course I am. (Shiva Baby, since you ask)

I was up early this morning.

Just went to see A Real Pain, and would highly recommend it. You'll laugh, you'll cry. It won't blow your mind, it isn't new ground, but it's beautifully made.

Fuck yeah Friday night dinner. This is one of those Insta recipes that actually works and has become a staple for me. Accordion some filo pastry, add literally any fillings in the folds, pour over a savoury custard, bake. Delicious.

everything is pretty bad and it's going to get worse and I think we need to remember to give ourselves license to post about silly things too losing our minds to despair isn't going to do any of us any good

Me, pondering the great mysteries of the universe: I wonder when I will do the dishes

I would hereby like to recommend Leon's mango ketchup. Mostly I mix it with mayo to make a nice lil sauce for almost everything.

I have spent the day thinking about how to celebrate my 40th birthday (MUCH later in the year, thank you) and I think I have the makings of a plan.

Delighted to announce that the dental hygienist was very pleased with me.

Quite unbelievably I have to spend my 8th of January going to the dental hygienist. What an inconsiderate start to the year I gave myself.

My fridge will never be able to tell me when I'll run out of milk, because a) I am capricious in my usage and b) I use shelf stable oat milk that it can't see my stash of. So there *sticks tongue out*

It is 3rd January, the first real day of the year in Scotland. I am spending it appropriately (in a onesie for another hour and then to the pub).

It's snowing here in south Perthshire and I have made spicy beef sausage rolls. Happy New Year, everyone.

I've spent a majority of 2024 stressed about doing something I really didn't want to do. It was only a few weeks ago that I decided I wasn't going to do it. So my 2025 is going to be all about being quicker at making good choices for both mind and body 💪

You're telling me that Margo Martindale and Wayne Knight were once partners on a team of character actors who moonlit as private investigators to supplement film/tv income by busting bad guys with their acting skills and this has never been adapted into the longest-running show on NBC?

This is how my dad cuts his toast.

LOVE that Kriss Akabusi's specialist subject is Nietzsche.

Our Christmukkah dinner. Chicken, haggis, cauliflower cheese, sprouts, carrots, lentil salad, latkes, challah. So full.
