America's George Galloway

2yo is proudly telling everyone that he's sitting on his big bumcrack*

*(beanbag)

Couple of podcasts, couple of games, a few small blogs and a dozen or so web comics. All for the same reason. You have to pay for stuff you like if you want to keep liking it.

There's a possible universe out there where Eurodance covers of American folk songs by Swedish novelty bands is an entire genre. I think about this any time anyone says we live in the worst timeline.

Big Dan Burn, He Magic

Curled it better with his head than I can with my boot

"Woof" only exists because of the written word

TIL *anyone* can sign up for Barbican Library in Libby. Not just Soft Londoners. And their selection is significantly broader than Newcastle's

Radiohead's Creep. Hahaha. Room full of baffled 6 yo's

Hallowe'en playlist for the kids has avoided Zombie, but _does_ include Ghost Town

A pin depicting a cartoon drawing of Canadian rapper snow under the word Informer and then it says a bunch of gibberish Plus a licky boom boom down

This is monumental.

Me, panicked: Are you ok? Have you been sick.
2 yo, beaming with pride: Yeah. I eated it. It's in my belly now.

I’ve automated it so now I don’t have to actively perform the task — I only have to fix it when the automation breaks, which only happens extremely regularly

The delighted yay I heard coming down the stairs makes me think the 2 yo didn't heed my request to head to the bath.

The average healthy adult needs roughly 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (0.36 grams per pound), according to federal nutrition guidelines. For a 170-pound adult, that breaks down to about 61 grams of protein, which can be achieved by eating a cup of plain Greek yogurt and 3.5 ounces of chicken breast (or 5 ounces of tempeh).

Americans, you need to sort your units out.

Ah, Cain. COVID robbed us of years of intellectual prowess

I've seen people say that Sim City's responsible for the lack of mixed use zoning in the US because you can't do it in the game

Not saying we've got bedtime sussed, but I managed to rhyme 'story' with 'weewee' for the 6 yo's nonsense poem while the 2 yo threw bouncy balls at my bum and the 3 week old attempted to give me a hickey while searching for milk

虫，蝾，龙？

Houtian and qiantian in Mandarin. Partner was underwhelmed by my _utter_ delight in their existence.

While we're lobbing words in, the Old English oxt to mean next-but-one e.g. Oxt Friday from here is definitely 10 Oct, whereas next Friday is a good argument.

God bless you, poopy load

Some days you have to accept are the kind of day where your baby is going to repeatedly projectile shit and take out your last 3 clean pairs of jeans.

She's somehow in the same outfit.

Years of teaching have honed your ambiguously worded government form reading.

Still leaves a load of overlap to me. Which option is "in the ambulance on the way to hospital" or "at my doula's place"? And what will they do with the different answers?

Can you spot the difference between "other" and "elsewhere" in registering a birth?

Love a guess to why, given we've already ticked yes to married, I can't fill out the form as dad—mam only.

In laws cooked tea for us tonight (kind). MiL looks me dead in the eye and says, "One nice meal for you this week" (fatal).

All good thank you. Baby three happily added to the ranks. Bit of jaundice, so extended stay, but all home and well now.

One of my favorite poems since childhood, and a poem I share every #autumnequinox.
By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands.
Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid.
“My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”
