Having pottered in the garden* for a bit, I am now listening to Cornershop and tidying up the last of the chocolate spread**. *I know newborn baby's head is officially The Best Smell, but new tomato plants deserve an honourable mention. **From the jar, with a teaspoon.

Where the hell is my 'runner's high'? open.substack.com/pu... I've been running multiple times a week for well over a year now, and this supposed 'runner's high' is nowhere to be seen/experienced. What gives? Latest post explains more, along with some impassioned ranting. #Running #Exercise

Crack squirrels! #Rev (again).

Ah this made me giggle so very much. (There was a bit of a phase some years ago where JP was popular in some Christian circles, even the more supposedly progressive ones. I hope that's over).

First teeny tiny garden raspberries. Quite literally #TinyJoys

Thinkinge of askinge Chat GPT a questioun about your plannes? Trye a tarot deck. Cheaper, bettir for the environment, bettir resultes.

Today's GALLIVANTING featured a trip to Highgate cemetery, which is one of the more beautiful places I've visited recently. Said hello to Karl Marx, I believe it's the rules.

A good round up of the "Great British Strike" today. In my town, this featured shouting, stop the boats placards, a bit of verbal abuse and trying to sing Land of Hope and Glory but not knowing the words.

The argument “young white men turn to hate because they don’t get enough empathy for the barriers they face” needs to square itself with the reality that men and women of color — and many white women — faced generations of barriers without turning to hatred in the same numbers. 1/

1000th Metrodle today, which has made me happy.

1. And today from the outposts of Christian weirdness, I read that there's a "new and unique" Christian college opening in Oxford. It's "in response to the increasingly prevalent liberal and progressive ideologies in universities".

My beloved Supergrass at Camden Roundhouse. 30 years and a couple of miles from where I first saw them.

Lovely mangetout flowers. #TinyJoys

The decision to postpone taking a triptan "to see what happens" is *never* the right one, and I don't know why, after all these years, I haven't learned that. Oh well.

This entire thread gives you hope: transphobia is not the majority perspective in parliament nor in the public.

Politicians During Mental Health Awareness Month

The same children who lost 2 years of childhood to lockdown, had to adapt quickly to online learning, had birthday parties with 2 friends in a garden if they were lucky, only saw nanas on Zoom, while politicians & the columnist set partied? Those children?

Entertaining Dave by reading out the outline of business for upcoming General Synod. Me: Hm, church growth and revitalisation. D: Doesn't the church need a bit of that? Me: Maybe. Depends how you do it. D: Does it involve a smoothie bar? #Rev

Important thread from the BMA.

I thought it important to post a brief blog responding to Robert Tombs’ latest attempt to disparage fellow historians who worked for the Church of England. My response to his TLS article is here: alanlester.co.uk/blog/south-s...

Tut. Spoilers.

Oh very good.

The headline doesn’t quite capture the furious, biting sarcasm of this piece by @mrjohncrace.bsky.social - which is definitely worth a few minutes of your time www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

(Reposting as it seems OCD is coming for my BlueSky posting too, but anyway 🙄): GLORIOUS voice note from Kid B earlier detailing her first 8 o'clock BCP communion experience. Lots of kneeling! Not expecting the prayers for the King! It was in the Lady Chapel - didn't know we had one! 1/2

Kind of feels like Labour is also driving the bus and reversing it over trans and non-binary individuals afterwards. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
