PLEASE I AM BEGGING 🙏🙏

He’s so perfect I want to cry! The most gorgeous boy in the world 🥹❤️

Small fluffy grey kitten sitting on a rug looking dismayed.

Same little sad face, but the vast and level fur now stretches far away. And his back legs are planted hilariously widely.

Ozzy so wide now

How great was Tom Lehrer? In 2020, he moved his entire catalog into the public domain because he felt he'd made more than enough money off of it.

I’m heartbroken, but Tom Lehrer was a genius who lived a long, fruitful and remarkable life. Along with Mad magazine and Allan Sherman, he fed and shaped my sense of humor. I didn’t understand all of it at first — but I learned.

My God, he was smart.

I’d only been thinking this morning about how relevant Tom Lehrer still feels. Case in point…

Farewell to the GOAT. No one was doing it like him 😔❤️

Love you too 🥰

OMG A GIVEAWAY?! OF A BEAUTIFUL COPY OF THIS ABSOLUTE BANGER OF A NOVEL??? 🎉🎉🎉

His Girl Friday was released in theaters on this day 85 years ago (and it’s also Cary Grant’s birthday today!) 📞

The completed Lego model of Shackleton’s Endurance, placed on a windowsill that overlooks gardens and trees

Here she is, pride of place 🥰 my beloved Endurance ❤️

A Lego model of Shackleton’s Endurance, a black and white sailing ship with three masts and a small chimney stack for the engine. The model has 4 lifeboats hanging from the edge of the deck

Day 5 (which is technically day 6 because of a pub quiz break) and she is COMPLETE 😍 my beautiful girl all ready to set sail 🥰

a screencap of an interview with David Lynch - he says "Believe it or not, Eraserhead is my most spiritual film." and the interviewer says "Elaborate on that." David Lynch replies "No [I won't]".

so many good Lynch moments to choose from but this is of course a fave. sure, it's a great meme, but it's also a genuinely good reminder to us, in our time of easter egg hunting, youtube explainers, and subreddits, that you actually don't owe anyone explanations for your art or what it means to you

My obsession with Polar exploration and James Fitzjames in particular allowed our team to win the Geography round at tonight’s pub quiz, and honestly I will be riding that high for WEEKS

A Lego model of Shackleton’s Endurance the hull is now complete and the upper deck has been assembled. All three masts are in place and there is a white chimney towards the stern section

A close-up of a section of the upper deck where there is navigation equipment, including a tiny compass, the face of which is blue with a gold compass rose and a tiny N indicating North

Day 4, what an absolute beauty 😍😍😍 I love the tiny compass so much 🥰

A photograph of a Lego model of Shackleton’s Antarctic ship, Endurance. The front and middle sections of the hull have been completed and work has been started on the back section. She is a black ship with a white band and white cabins on deck

An overhead view of the Lego model of Endurance with it split into two parts. One part is the front and middle of the hull with a cabin visible, the other part is the back of the ship with its engine and two smaller cabins either side of a central mast.

Day 3 and she’s really coming together 🥰🥰🥰

A photograph of an in progress Lego model of a ship, the bow section of the hull is mostly completed, and is black with a white band running round the top. The skeleton for the mid-section has also been put together and is waiting for the remainder of its parts to be added

Progress day 2 (forgot to take a pic at the end of yesterday 🤦‍♀️): bags 1-7 done!

Finally, it begins… 👀🥳

To be fair we do definitely use napkins in that context in the UK too. It’s not that unusual! To the point that I couldn’t work out what on Earth the problem with saying that would be 😅

2/2…We also did a comparative essay on two texts of our choosing and I picked Engleby (Sebastian Faulks) and The History Boys (Alan Bennett) .

My stand out favourites were probably Chaucer, The History Boys, The Crucible & Macbeth. The only one I don’t remember being very keen on was Spies!

UK circa 2007-2009 (GCSE & A-level) we had: selected poems of Seamus Heaney & Gillan Clarke, Spies by Michael Frayn, Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, The Tempest, A Winter’s Tale, Macbeth, Chaucer’s A Miller’s Tale and assorted literature from WW1 (poems, short stories and novels)…1/2

She’s so beautiful 😭❤️

Noooo! Maybe they’ll bring the lifeboat back at some point? 😭😭😭

I was so emotional when I opened it, can’t wait to get stuck in!

Two Lego sets still in their boxes, one in front of the other. The larger one behind is the ship Endurance that Shackleton sailed to the Antarctic. The smaller set in front is Shackleton’s lifeboat

Christmukkah didn’t go according to plan this time around, but I am now back home, and the proud owner of my very own, beloved LEGO Endurance 🥰

Chag Hanukkah Sameach! ❤️

Two black and white screenshots stacked one on top of the other. The top is a closeup of a white man with dark hair, starring blankly just below the camera. The caption reads “I still don't understand the play.” The bottom screenshot has two men, one is facing away from the camera out of focus on the left of the picture. The other man is in the centre of the shot- white man with dark hair. He looks off to the left, addressing the other figure. The caption reads “Doesn't matter. Just keep telling the story.”

This moment hit me like a punch to the solar plexus

People are complaining about the very common colloquialism “uni”? What?? 😅

A triptych of pictures of three fictional nuns: Left: Sister Michael from Derry Girls is sitting behind a desk, arms crossed. She is wearing her habit and looks unimpressed. Middle: Sister Mary from The Young Pope. She is bear headed and wearing dark glasses. She’s dressed in her pyjamas, the top of which are white and read “I’m a Virgin. But this is an old shirt” Right: Sister Agnes from Conclave. She is also wearing her habit and looks both determined and angry. Around her neck is a thick silver crucifix

Cardinal this, Cardinal that… forget those guys! What I want now is to sit back and watch these three queen out 💅🏻
