Don't try to make the banana go extinct for an upgrade, it won't work.

Plato tells us that there is but one Jason Statham movie, which we perceive as many due to our inability to access true knowledge in the realm of the forms

😭😭😭 LEE SCORESBY 😭😭😭

Update: as usual it looks GREAT barring the usual "I am a pufferfish" stage 🥰

Students:
Omg there are so many of them, they are so young. I condone their joie de vivre but I condemn their lollygagging across the supermarket aisles

I've yet to get a "duck" but I understand that's Derbyshire chat.

Fascists:
Repeatedly bashed

"Y'alright love?":
Yerrrr I am thanks for askin

Hills:
Unavoidable. I have not a single novel nor pithy take on this. There are hills. My legs hurt. Fine.

Henderson's Relish:
Yeah solid. Fun aside: don't call it Hendo's or you'll be tried as a Lancastrian

Review thread (some of them obvious but shut up)

Philtrum piercing: looks great. But god if it doesn't just feel like when you have that dry red ring around your mouth midwinter.
It does not help that it is midwinter and my lips are, in fact, dry

Yes the pain is temporary and I've loved every one I've done but it doesn't stop the beforehand "aaaARGH" of it all.
Many more to come, I have plenty of canvas left to stab. 🥰

The thing is right, I get in such a big ol' flap about piercings that the only way to do it is to hem and haw for months then just book them in with 3 days notice, which means (at current rate) I have a day about three times a year where I go "oh right I'm getting punctured tomorrow"

i bet she tells people she doesn’t ski

If you say "my skin is so dry" people might recommend a lotion but if you say "my skin is so wet" no one will help you

I've ordered a rug and I think, unironically, that it'll really tie the room together. I'm getting all NESTY

I hate to brag (I don't) but my living room is absolutely banging

Ignore the smears: I was never a close friend of Peter Mandelson. And I fully understand the lessons we must learn Wes Streeting

This is the funniest headline I seen in a long time. And bravo to whoever underlined the desperation with the juxtaposed link.

I also pray to God my next team is largely queer / needy / neurodivergent but we'll see!

These days I won't say I make friends *everywhere* I go but I have such an easier time making them and recognising when I'm banging on a closed door.
I won't dwell too long on the fact I didn't have that for large swathes of my life, but I'm endlessly grateful to have found it now.
