… I think we use “snot” differently here.

“Kind regards” if I’ve already told them twice and they still haven’t paid attention.

“Regards” when I’m properly cross.

I’ve just discovered there is a Tiddington not in Warwickshire

Good thinking.

Don’t be burning any urine bags though. They’re actually useful.

look if Dolly Parton needs you to pray for her then you find a scrap of floor and get to fucking work

Today marks yet another day that Speaker Mike Johnson has denied Adelita Grijalva her right to govern.

She won her special election on Sept 23rd but has yet to be sworn in.

Why? Because she will become the 218th vote needed to discharge the release of the Epstein files.

Say her name.

A tall child is sitting on two ginormous pumpkins in a kitchen. The pumpkins are each probably around the size of a medicine ball.

Hit me with your best pumpkin recipes.

We’ve got a few of these kicking around…

America. What are you doing?

the academic development was prioritised over emotional development.

There’s also part of me marvelling that 24 year old “junior doctors” are told they’re too young and inexperienced to understand life, and yet here we have an actual child….

I think there’s a big difference between 15yos in a care home providing personal care and a 13yo learning all the ways the body tries to die.

What worries me is that there aren’t many children who could pass these exams this young without significant coaching, and that makes me wonder whether

Like we knew and said.

to be able to deal with the darker side of medicine.

That’s bananas. How on earth is a child supposed to deal with the emotional side of medicine? It’s not a zero sum game. People die. It’s very emotionally tough.

I would suspect that a child with the intellectual ability to pass exams to get in to medical school has not gained the emotional maturity

You didn’t ask for a comprehensive list. You asked if there is anything genuinely useful you can do with it, and I gave you an answer.

Finding voucher codes for various websites.

I’m going to extend it slightly into October, having had all efforts completely derailed by a viral plague that afflicted our household a few weeks ago.

I am NOT a runner and so this is a very real challenge for me. I’m doing it while pushing either my 8kg 8month old or my leggy 18kg 3yo.

Any and all donations will be very warmly welcomed and appreciated!

Emily Beeley I'm well into the second half of my Run 50k in September challenge for every much-loved baby sadly not here today. There is not long left, please do check out my progress and anything you’re able to d...

I’m trying to shoehorn a couple of last minute “runs” in to finish my “50km in September” challenge for @sandscharity.bsky.social

We don’t have to imagine. Just look across the pond.

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

I could cope with maybe weeks 20-32 forever. My big fat waddly PGP pelvis , less so.

But do I get to keep my 🦻🏻? Otherwise there is going to be a lot of shouting up there.

To be fair, I had to get my dad to call in sick for me when I was an f1 (intern). I was unwell but had entirely lost my hearing and so couldn’t actually make the phone call myself! I felt like an utter prune.

Once again…
