This made things awkward as I had offered to take several ducks out to Sunday Lunch.

Pray for me. I’ve been sucked into doing a Pinterest-inspired craft project again.

It always starts well with the scrolling and the researching and the shopping but then…

β€œCleaning up”?

Is that the language you should be using about human beings?

If I am ever asked to produce my birth certificate in order to use the loo in an establishment, I promise that I will piss on the floor of said establishment.

there’s nothing like being present - *really* present - in the moment, taking in your surroundings, the people around you, the sky, the air and the sound of the city and actually NOTICING the world you live in to remind you not to forget your phone charger next time

In 2005, the Family Research Council named TEEN TITANS the worst show on TV β€” with 21 minutes of β€œunacceptable content” in a 22 minute episode.

When I tried to find out why, I discovered that one of their criteria for unacceptable content was β€œchildren disobeying adults.”

Seems relevant.

A photo of Donald trump, a convicted sex offender who has bankrupted multiple companies and defrauded countless people in his spare time when he’s not golfing, stands on the roof of the White House for some reason.

A Twitter DM from June 2022 reads: 

Hi Mollie, I hope you're well. Just sending a message to say thanks. Early this year you tweeted a Guardian Blind Date, where the guy dragged the girl a little bit. After seeing a couple of people saying some pretty shit things about her on Twitter, I DM'd her to balance it out a bit - just say I thought she came across as really funny and fuck the haters etc (but with no other real intention other than that).
Well we hit it off, talked every day for a month (I was working out of the UK at the time) and agreed to meet as soon as I returned. I ended up coming home early and we've been dating ever since. It might sound a bit over the top but l've never felt like this about anyone else before, and I'm pretty sure she feels the same way. I've honestly had some of the best months of my life with her around, and I want to say thanks

A Twitter DM from tonight reads:

Hey Mollie, I hope you don't mind an update on the above.
I asked her if she'd marry me, she said yes!
She's my world.
I'm so incredibly thankful for you tweeting that thing that led me and meet - I'm eternally in your debt.
Thanks!
