So many things she was excellent in, and many people my age will immediately think of Sybil. A particularly favourite here was her single episode in Cabin Pressure as Martin’s mum.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

Good day to be Juniper the guinea hog, bad day to be a pumpkin! 🎃 How do you prepare for spooky season? Juni’s diving snout-first into the pumpkins... no spice necessary. 👻

I have a third cartoon in the current Private Eye. I'm fully expecting to appear in Pedants Corner with this one.

Edinburgh castle failing to render, likely thanks to the AWS outage

this is stupid and I am high but I have always thought (jokingly) that every time someone predicted the Rapture, they were actually right, but because Scripture specifies that no one will ever know the date and time of Christ’s return, once they predicted it, it had to be scrapped

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

Now this is Content

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Despite easily being the most British fighting vehicle ever developed, the mock-Tudor AT-AT programme was sadly cancelled due to budgetary concerns

Eventually you have to accept that no matter how many different notebooks you buy, they won’t make you a better writer. For that, you need to spend a lot of money on the right pen.

With alt:

You have to have changed your main fandom platform at least four times AND you must have at least three fandom-related subjects that cause an overwhelming wave of exhaustion to hit you whenever people start arguing over them

Are we getting to the FO stage?

You know what never gets old? People in inflatable t-rex suits visiting t-rex skeletons in museums

Happy National Rum Day! #theillustratedrat

'level' is a close second, right?

Lol

This made me laugh. And then I sat and thought about it. This is correct.

as the month closes out this GAY MAGPIE wishes all you queers a happy pride once again!!!

Twenty years after graduation, I've just paid off the last of my student loan!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

One of the white "doves" that comes to my garden for food. Rather tame. Probably specially bred and then released for a celebration. They turn into common pigeons. But look how pretty it is. Dumb as anything, but pretty.

“ Punch it mom! We’re leaving Gary in our dust!” A few days ago the Horned Grebes were still occasionally riding on their parents’ backs. This little one seemed quite please to be zooming ahead of its sibling🤣 #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

Since I am now apparently helping my godkid through GCSE maths (and others), I've dived right into the deep end with pythagoras. Good news, I remember how to do it. Yay! Bad news, I still have ADHD so I got 3 questions (out of 26) wrong for silly mistakes.

on the last day of the United States, when this country has finally descended into civil war, i will do a thread on how to dress for summer

oh

26 years since I sat my GCSEs i find myself back trawling through revision guides and past papers. Good news, with some familiarising of the texts and time periods I can do the humanities. Bad news, I've forgotten most the science and maths is a foreign subject. I don't even have children!!

this poem got a lot of flak when it was written because people have no reading comprehension but i've been thinking about it a lot again (by @vinayrk.bsky.social unless i'm mistaken)

My fave response to the AO3 outage post

Fascinating thread.

It sucks that MURDER, SHE WROTE and THE X-FILES were on the air at the same time but we never got a crossover where Mulder and Scully investigate the astonishing number of murders that happen around Jessica Fletcher.

Neighbouring kids have finished for a day. Seems to be 5 of them together, including at least one I don't immediately recognise. Just saw the mum in charge pause, look at them, drop her head slightly and sigh. I feel you, dear neighbour.

Today I was given the third degree by some young neighbours. Yes, I live alone. No I don't have a husband, or children. Yes, just me. Why? I haven't found anyone and I like being by myself. Why is my house so messy? Oh I have a lot of stuff. I'm sure their parents will be horrified. 😁😁😁

Did we already write this one #ofmd writers crew?

St. Peter: How'd you die? Me: Buried under an avalanche of unused journals. St. Peter *whispers*: Did you have some with the tiny grids? Me *whispers back*: Of course I had the tiny grids. St. Peter: C'mon in.

Who are we inside, if not a collection of our hopes & fears, childhood scars, loose bones, mind goblins, fried potato products, and at least one Muppet song that brings both laughter and tears?
