Imagine if they really do actually cause each other to self combust, we wake up tomorrow & there are just 2 smoking craters where they once were

Totally nausaged (run out of sausages)

Wonder if everyone’s most intense source of domestic arguments is What Colour Things Are

Managed to grow a peony at last 🌱

Rule should be that no one is allowed to propose national service without volunteering to do it themselves. This will give the army a plentiful supply of furious beetroot-faced middle-aged people which should put off any invading army

Really disturbing piece about the collapse in insect populations - such a sinister image of a silent forest full of unchewed leaves like a greenhouse

Roof garden looking at its best as we’re just about to leave it, typical. Although come to think of it most of it is coming with us 🌱

I don’t think Brad Pitt can really carry off the just-gutted-some-herring look

Survived 17 months in the Australian bush, what a little trooper! And when the vet checked her after they'd found her and caught her - she'd put on weight 😆

Seem to be seeing an increasing number of stories about writers & artists in the UK finding themselves without royalties owed to them after publishers & galleries quietly fold, taking all the money down with them

Huffing & puffing with indignation like a high court judge at today’s Minute Cryptic

The Nick Clegg thing & posts where people talk about Bluesky’s reach just alternating in my feed. Think I’ll come back in a day or two

Intense excitement in this neighbourhood when it turned out the FA Cup winners were transferring into their victory bus at the end of our road

Some kind of victorious celebration about to set off in Crystal Palace

Trouble with Poker Face is that the ‘she can just magically tell when people are lying’ doesn’t work at all. Maybe they can quietly drop it & go straight Columbo. I want to see some deducting!

Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Me: I'd like to be a baby marmoset being gently groomed with a toothbrush

Sometimes posts just line up nicely

Cause of death: strongly worded letter

A good description of ME/Long Covid - ‘a cage that gets smaller if you rattle the bars’, as I’ve also seen it called

It’s crazy that in the UK it’s been years since anyone under 75 without a weakened immune system has had a booster - including people with long Covid

So glad to see Kalu’s work written about without being labelled ‘outsider art’. Fuck that term, it’s so outdated & patronising to think that art only belongs to people with an MA
