A photo of Toni lying on my arm, face looking at the camera.

A photo showing the back filter of my air conditioning unit with a piece of pasta sticking up from the bottom part, wedged in the downward-style slots.

Looking at the weather forecast for Monday & Tuesday.

Us:Talking about getting everything in place so I can fully set up my AC unit. 🤔

Me: Hmm, maybe I should first remove the piece of pasta that Toni dropped in there. 👀🤣

That, Dear Readers, is one reason she got the nickname Little Miss Chaos.

Looking great. ❤️🫂

The fact that it's all the First Book nominees that are pulling their books is frankly embarrassing for the authors on the main longlist

I’m desperate for publicity for my book, for it to be read far and wide (as surely all these authors are), for it must be read to change minds - but at any cost?

I hope I’d have been as principled as these amazing writers including the lovely @sachacoward.bsky.social on here.

Go buy their books.

BBC among media misreportimg/exaggerating scale of asylum protests

Median protest is a few dozen, below 100.

"Usually Several hundred at a time" is false.
- should say *occasionally*
< 1/10 protests have 200 people

"Sometimes thousands"
I dont think a single 2025 protest had > 2000 people yet

What a breathtaking, unique, intense, and very funny tale! Wow, this story had everything, and the emotional impact is impressive. The historical retelling is stunning, and the storyline is twisted and dark. #AmazonReview 💙📚🪐 https://amzn.to/4fTzbHG

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

It's why this meme exists!

It's the utter fixation of it all that's so remarkable. She's like her own version of the Death Eaters, only she's consumed her own soul and now wants the soul of every man out there. Her husband must love being in that atmosphere twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. 👀💀

I had to laugh at your reply, because sometimes it's the only thing to do, but honestly, this line in the sand they keep trying to redraw just gets more and more ridiculous. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

At our local garage years ago, both products used to be right by the till. Easy to grab as required.

Okay. That wins the interwebs for today.

Image of a cat in a tree and a person using the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate its height.

Happy International Cat Day to all who celebrate.

Especially those who would have done better in geometry if your teacher had used the "cat in the tree" example to teach the Pythagorean Theorem.

Dear God.

That woman is beyond parody at this point. She's just evil incarnate.

The tampon aisle? Jfc, what's next, women and children can't walk by the condoms? Which in smaller shops can be close to the till and check-out area.

How the heck does one get these thoughts, and fixate on them? 🤬

Absolutely.

It's also about just being a decent human being who loves people for who they are.

My Mama Bear mode kicks in a lot these days. 🫂

This.

It's why trans rights are human rights.

Because you (yes, you) might be next.

Added to which, it sounds like a What-Three-Words address, not a motto!

Feel better soon.

I have been thinking of you all, but especially your Mother, the last couple of days. 🫂

This is a recurring theme of transphobes -- the insistence that the *only* possible reason anyone else would object to their degradation and marginalization is that they desperately crave the approval of "their tribe."

No, ma'am. It's much simpler.

Some of us just don't like bullies and bigots.

I've just treated Toni with flea treatment.

As usual, I was able to lure her in, and she got her revenge by digging in her claws upon leaving. That cat is now well pissed off, and I've got to sleep with eye open for the foreseeable.
