Morning Bluesky! Have you cancelled a planned trip or move – holiday, work, short-term or long-term – to the USA? Fancy chatting to me about for a piece? @ me or DM if so, especially if you’re located in the UK. (RTs much appreciated too).

This’ll be fun #polaroidflip #analoguelife

The thousand yard stares of sullen resignation. “It’s bad enough they put these on us, but did they have to take our dignity as well? They turned us into fruit!” #cats

Not shared this in quite a while, so here you go 🥔❤️

This is so lovely.

Auto-transcription bot heard 'vodka' and wrote it down as 'I don't care'. Relatable.

So if (straight) sex turns men into women, it must also turn women into men. And that must mean they swap back and forth the whole time. Alternating, if you will. Which is a similar process to what we use to power electric motors. So... free energy? Climate crisis solved by fucking?

Question for garden-havers who are as lazy as me or even lazier. Drip watering system: is good? Which one? You point I buy no need think. Thank you.

Cats. Cats in a box. That is all.

Huge congratulations to all who made it onto the Fortnum & Mason Awards shortlist this year. It was a real pleasure judging, but blimey we had to make some difficult choices among very strong entries. Winners announced 1 May.
