Thank you!

Oops 😁

🤣😂 ohhhh nooooooooooo!

Really?! I had... Just assumed it wouldn't and gave up. This is excellent information!

Well, it's bloody chilly right now and bed isn't. It's an unfair ask.

Oh that is just wonderful ❤️

Oh I LOVE a pied wagtail - it was the first "unusual" bird that wee city-child me felt she could identify easily and they used to wait with me for my train when I did the anti-socially early commute pre-pandemic. Absolutely boss-birbs.

when I was in high school I had male teachers in their 30s who I totally thought I was adult peer friends with. when I was in my 30s and was a high school youth group leader I was like “those are not my friends, those are children.” that’s when I realized those men just had bad boundaries

Today I get to see @lokte.bsky.social and @vae.bsky.social and remember @sorchasilver.bsky.social who should have been with us. Miss you, chum 💔#GNUSorchasilver. Later there will be hugs and toasts and laughter (because there was always laughter)

Screenshot of a tweet made by Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy Feb 4th 2013, when the band came off hiatus, surprising everyone, a few days after he had said don't hold your breath when asked in an interview about the band coming back.

Do you remember where you were when #FallOutBoy came back?

I will let you know - it's a nice place with lovely staff who do a great pached egg, so not a hardship to return!

I think probably. D says he will try it and find out 😂

I'm meeting a chum for coffee and she's a wee bit late so I perused the normal people menu and discovered that they do Yum Yum French toast (I.e. French toast made from a Yum yum scottishrecipes.co.uk/recipes/Yum-... ) and now my brain has stalled trying to work out if this is sheer genius or not.

if you can't make them take it back you can peel off the stringy bits, chop it up and freeze as is to use from frozen in soups, mirepoix, etc.. Just not the same thing at all, though, melon would have been better!

If you are a person who works in social media, and your job requires you to manage an account on Twitter/X, please ask your boss, in writing, to verify that you are required as a responsibility of your position to be on a platform that knowingly creates and monetizes child sexual abuse material …
