Time to introduce 100 more people to the 12th doctor war speech

A flooded road, under a bridge, somewhere in England.

Sold my old iPad on eBay, kept the buyer updated but no response. Today Royal Mail said they were unable to access the property for delivery. Thankfully the buyer had added their mobile number to their account so I texted. This is why RM couldn’t access. Redirected delivery, they get it Wednesday!

There was a time when Australian television was impossible without Lorraine Bayly

Damn this war, Grace

[3] I have to admit my greatest surprise was learning that the candidate was straight! You’d think that given his gender of appearing to me as effeminate camp they’d understand that gender is fluid!

In one of those witty descriptions on pronouns he can add ‘has been/failed’.

[2] In a ‘ya couldn’t make it up’ move Reform ran a former anti-far right researcher to run for the far right party.

Turns out that although being trans is not contagious, being far right might be! Who’da thunk it?

[1] It’s not often these days that the far right gets a good seeing to. Well done to the busy bees of Manchester UK. This will have been a disaster to the far right Reform [Nigel Farage’s ego in collective form] & to the ‘far right policies led’* UK Labour govt. You love to see it. #Madchester

Ahaha!!! Imagine, you’re Winston Churchill, or somebody else throughout time with The Doctor’s phone number, calling with an emergency, but you’re left on hold listening to that for hours ahaha

Prince Harry speaking up for Palestinians and Gaza

I’ve just binged through both seasons of ‘Dinosaur’, and without giving any spoilers, I think pretty much everyone in the McArthur family is on the autism spectrum, despite Nina being the only one with a formal diagnosis.

Ireland v Israel game confirmed for Dublin’s Aviva Stadium in October FAI chief executive David Courell says security concerns around hosting Nations League fixture have been allayed by An Garda Síochána

Imagine playing sports with any other country engaged in mass ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and genocide?

It stopped with apartheid South Africa, which wasn't even as bad.

*Full* boycott of Israel NOW: sports, cultural, academic, trade, and investment links.

This is a chance for the team to show their values in action and stand with the people of Palestine.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

The first one I saw BUZZED past me so loudly, and I was like, HOW IS THAT LOG FLYING

It’s just stunning! I was sitting here thinking, if I don’t get outside and actually enjoy some of this day, I will feel guilty.

I had a similar experience moving to the UK from Australia and seeing my first bumble bee! They are unbelievably - and impossibly - MASSIVE.

Apple tree is starting to bud. Glorious blue sky.

There’s that blue sky again, this time with vapour trails cos we live near London City Airport.

Buds on the damson tree, with some lighter blue, sunlight-dappled sky.

I just spent some actual time outside (in the garden) photosynthesising and it was glorious. No cardigan, no jumper, no dressing gown or other warm clothing. T-shirt and shorts (tbf, that’s my normal clothes but over winter it’s with an outer layer)

Yep! Have you seen that it’s been a Finn-ter Wonderland during NYC’s blizzard? All the Finns over there have been going out and about, doing regular things, enjoying tourist places in the peace and quiet because everyone else is staying home indoors.

Even if not in Ireland, but you love the west coast of Ireland, you can still object and tell your mother and your sisters and your cousins

Bloody hell!

It’s currently 10°C at nearly 8:30pm. Tomorrow we have a forecast of 17°C. I’m calling it. It’s Spring.

meme of Ed Teach looking sad in his blanket fort surrounded by empty marmalade jars. text reads: love of your life abandoned you? first mate sold you out? try 30 to 40 jars of marmalade an easy weeknight dinner eat it directly out of the jar with your fingers you will certainly not regret eating 30 to 40 jars of marmalade

all this talk of ed & stede & marmalade, and i realized i never posted this one here 🍊

As I woke up I started wondering why they simply didn’t knock down the poo shack, because surely a shack filled with turn-of-the-20th-century-coprolite wouldn’t be worthy of heritage listing? Surprisingly none of this TP & poo dreaming was prophetic of my waking self.
