This cat is the same colour throughout. Zoom in to check if you have doubts. It's a frame of an animated GIF I made (which I would post if we could post our own GIFs here without it converting to video). #OpticalIlllusion

I suspect it’s an editorial standard but I would love for journalists reporting on the proposed welfare cuts to use PIP or spell it out as Personalised Independence Payment. Pip is cutesy, PIP reminds you it’s an acronym, Independence is *key* here.

Absolutely incredible work on this Zaku by Aksara Ngarmna www.instagram.com/p/Cb-QW64vTo...

Want to feel old? Well geologically speaking you barely register on any scale, so grow up. You are insignificant and meaningless.

Every time I see a genuinely funny shitpost, the fact checking/serious replies give me despair. Teachers: I think we need to start teaching children how to post, so they don't shame themselves as adults.

Good morning

Because I'd been indoctrinated into the belief that "rest was something I must earn" (instead of an inherent need of all creatures), it left me vulnerable to workplace exploitation.

I always regret not going on this silly tube branch to Aldwych before it closed in 1994. (Still, at least I *did* make it to Ongar before that closed in the same year.)

A cat 89 years ago that I still think of quite often. Seems very happy with wearing a helmet.

Defied the trans toilet ban in parliament and used the men’s 🏳️‍⚧️✊

Bit rich complaining about New York being taken over by immigrants when there's a big fucking statue in the harbour that invites everyone to come live there.

Due to reverse engineering works, all bus services on Sunday will be replaced by trains. (Yes, I came up with the 'reverse engineering works' phrase and worked back from there.

this baby burrowing owl being weighed on a scale is how we all feel

This is straight out of Futurama. Even the name “Urobot”.

why do they say Autistic ppl have poor social skills? I was on a woodsy walk today when a deer came bounding across my path - so I waved & said hi that’s A+ socializing if you ask me 🤗

I do some exercises immediately after getting out of bed. Nothing major just a couple of minutes of weights. The idea is to trick myself onto doing it when I'm not fully awake yet. But my subconscious is wily and no sooner have I started than it tells me I really need to go and pee. 1/3

If Parliament changed a rule they didn't have to change to specifically ban you the day before you were due to turn up to Parliament, you'd think it was targeted, too.

This rock crystal sphere with an inscription in Greek letters was found in a woman's grave in Årslev (Denmark) dating to the 3rd c. AD. The inscription, "ΑΒΛΑΘΑΝΑΛΒΑ" is presumably an abbreviation of the palindrome ΑΒΛΑΝΑΘΑΝΑΛΒΑ, a textual sequence exhibiting symmetry in its . ...🧵1/4 📷 me 🏺

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Incontinence sheets are *only* thing I could find since leaving hospital: safe foods, incontinence pants, & kool paks for seizure muscle tears are urgent. I desperately need help as I’m having to pay a big unexpected bill & £180pm on council tax. Share pls 🙏 www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/...

I've reached the "swearing at household objects" point in the day.

TIL that I can scroll back to October 1582 in my phone’s calendar and see the beginning of the Gregorian Calendar.

I don't know what a tatterdemalion is but it's a brilliant word.
