Seen a fantastic Black Friday deal on a robot vacuum cleaner which would be perfect for my flat. Can't bring myself to buy it as it would break Henry's heart

When you've baked possibly the best sourdough bloomer of your life, but nobody else in your houseful wants to gaze at it, smell it, marvel at the crumb and drum on the base in wonder, you end up taking photos like this that clog up your phone memory😍

Defenestration incoming.

Ok we're not as bad as this, but I'm not letting it get that way

We've already gone from 2 simple advent calendars to 6, full of plastic crap.😑

First World problems I am acutely aware but also a sustainability nightmare.

Anyone else with kids get a bit panicky this time of year at the thought of the tsunami of crap that's heading straight for you over Xmas?? I'm in overdrive, stuffing binbags with junk nobody needs/uses to donate or skip.
Materialism is a poison.
No physical gifts for my kids please Granny et al🙏🏽

Too subtle.

He's hiding the Epstein files for the same reason he hides his medical records and jobs reports. And it's not because they make him look good.

This'll give you a laugh.

I was just told by my 14yo, in all seriousness, that I'm:

'Legally obliged to feed him'

When I didn't make him a pizza from scratch with exactly the topping he wanted

🤣🤣😑

A very good bit of simple comms here from @richardburgon.bsky.social illustrating wealth inequality, something which may fail to grasp the magnitude of.

Nobody needs to hoard this much wealth.

I think I've got my #sourdough mojo back.

This new starter was stubborn to get going, quite acidic for a while, but we got there!

Love him, and his song about bugs 🐛

An old grey treestump with a single new shoot sprouting from the base with green leaves. It is autumn.

Out for a walk with the wee one, spotted this great hulking tree stump to climb on, noticed its clinging onto life with new sprouts at the base.

It was this Goliath of a Beech, not dead yet...

Here's today's train tour scribble after reading this headline about Andrew Tate - 'one in six boys aged six to fifteen have a positive view of andrew tate' x x x five in six boys think andrew tate is a prick the headline reads: one in six boys aged six to fifteen have a positive view of andrew tate the headline does not read: five in six boys think andrew tate is a prick prefer riding their bike into town with their mates than listening to a grown up angrily shout through a screen five in six boys think their mum is alright roll their eyes when she hugs them will remember the sound of her laugh when she's gone five in six boys have baked biscuits or muffins do not want to strangle a girlfriend, think rape is abysmal, want love, think love is confusing, do not want a fist in their face five in six boys think their dad's jokes are occasionally funny, have a friend who likes the same music they like, worry about the look of their bodies in swim shorts love the feeling of crying from laughter five in six boys feel nervous about holding the hand of a crush privately cry when a person they fancy doesn't fancy them back without seeking to hurt them five in six boys are worried they'll fail their exams feel stupid sometimes, are scared by the thought of the future five in six boys think flowers are beautiful will not use the word beautiful will be bullied if they use the word beautiful about flowers still, five in six boys said thank you for dinner helped take the plates to the kitchen smile when a kitten curls up on their lap sleep sounder when someone who loves them plants a kiss on their forehead or just quietly whispers goodnight

I absolutely love this poem by @holliemcnish.bsky.social – 5 in 6 boys think Andrew Tate is a prick

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.


MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

A black fluffy cat sits in a green floral shopping bag on top of items inside the bag. The bag is on a wooden floor, in the dappled sunlight, green plants are above the cat.

How to catch a cat: place box or bag on floor and wait...

Works every time.

I sometimes wonder how quickly the world would fall apart if perimenopausal women just said - nope, I'm not doing that.

Language matters. Asylum seekers live in appalling conditions but the buildings are described as "hotels". Members of the Royal family live a life of luxury and privilege but their homes are often called "cottage" or "lodge". Why not just describe things accurately?

And now do Robbie Gibb....

Specifically a London bus??

Found an excuse to rewatch Slow Horses, now that my son is old enough. Just finished series 1 with him - and he's totally hooked!

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Highland beef from our local farmer went down very well in these layered tortilla skewers tonight. They're quite tricky to make, but it's a satisfying process and not a scrap was left. 😋

AI should be spelt Ai, especially when your name is Al

The fact that they do no issue doing this in broad daylight, while they're being filmed, speaks volumes. No consequences.

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

Woohoo looks like my lucky day at last! 🥂
