*adjusts glasses* thanks for email. afraid I decline offer

Last autumn, I met this terribly annoyed tree monster, who had lost a fight against a forester and now decided to walk off.

make me ready, Lord, for whatever

Toad put the thin button in his pocket. He was very angry. He jumped up and down and screamed, “The whole world is covered in buttons, and not one of them is mine!”

I don’t know how it is, but people like to be private when they are sleeping.

Norval Morrisseau was born #OTD (14 March, 1932 – 4 December, 2007). He pioneered the “Woodlands School” style of Indigenous Great Lakes art.

What a wonderful day to be a beast #chickens

Wet idiot daughters.

Stop. Trying. To push. AI. On me. You faeculent cysts.

We are not a minority we are an inevitability. Either you die young or you become disabled one day, physically, sensorily or cognitively.

Three US bombers took off from Gloucestershire yesterday to 'defensively' bomb Iran Darren Jones explains how you bomb a country defensively (after you've launched an illegal and unprovoked attack on them)

What do you say to a child who asks 'where is [person's name]?' after they've died? That's my question in my latest book, out tomorrow 'Where are you, Eddie?' @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

Anyone can become disabled at any time. Your life can change in an instant, no matter how strong and healthy you think you are. People will leave you. Funds will dry up. Life will get tougher. It’s not a moral failing. It’s a minority group you can join anytime.

Me seeing all the relentless bad news in the world: is that good

having the real time realisation that i might not be faceblind as I name every single wrestler that pops up on screen on a trivia gameshow. apparently I can recognise people that apply to my special interest?? but also wrestlers wear consistent gear so...?

having a very normal one about @danhausen.bsky.social

our eyes behold the vesper light

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

No more neon hardcover dust jackets. We have enough eye burning green covers with a piece of clip art on it. Which is probably a snake some flowers and a woman’s lips.

Meta has a history of torturing their moderators and providing NOTHING in the way of mental health care. How do I know? Because I used to be a moderator for Meta and I got a $3,500 settlement for the PTSD they gave me. When we tried to unionize, they moved their moderation to the Philippines.

This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich

Oh, now this can ABSOLUTELY fuck off!

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

Although the wind blows terribly here...

I think video editors need to be sat down and given a basic understanding of epilepsy. Choppy editing and fast cuts can also trigger seizures. I keep seeing epilepsy warnings that give you two seconds to read them. I saw one just now that had a flash on the screen BEFORE THE WARNING POPPED UP.

One more week! 🙂‍↕️

At least we got the tories out, eh lads?

Submissions are open! Send us your strange, your disciplined, your heartfelt.

the apparition of the Squid was a thing of portents

“Toad, Toad, wake up,” said Frog. “Look at your garden!” Toad looked at his garden. Little green plants were coming up out of the ground.

"I'll tell you something that's not so funny. Right now, Matt Goodwin is at the count for Gorton and Denton, crying like a little girl!"

Will Labour learn a lesson from this? Will the fact a progressive party won by quite a massive amount be the talking point? Will this move political discourse and government policy to the left? Will they all shut up about immigration and accept it's a made up issue? Probably not.

firstly, I'd like to congratulate the Greens on a hopeful, positive campaign, and a hopeful positive result, free of smears and division and personal insults. secondly I'd like to say fuck Matt Goodwin, fuck Reform, fuck the Labour Party, fuck all the toads in UK politics and media, have a shite day
