So tucked away on #iplayer possibly not find unless actively searching. Cannot recommend this 1971 “Play for Today” by Dennis Potter enough. John Le Mesurier won the BAFTA “Best Television Actor” for this. If only know him from “Dad’s Army” worth hour of your time.. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

I need something wholesome and comforting in front of my eyeballs because I just cannot with all this stuff any more.

What a wholly unexpected turn of events

Really good stuff from @siobhanh.bsky.social on the absolutely bleak Clarivate announcement.

Look what arrived! My officially licensed #MurderMostUnladylike pins from @litpinsandco.bsky.social! I think they are unbelievably fancy and beautiful and you can order yours from litpinsandco.com/collections/... now!

This is true. A pal of mine who is a policeman went to a Scottish island recently to investigate a missing person and when the locals found out he was a Christian they stuck him in a giant human-shaped willow branch construction and burned him alive.

I’m going to poach an egg in a pan like an adult today even if it kills me

For #ValentinesDay I’m going to tell you the story of William Weightman and Bronte Sisters Valentines cards. Here is a drawing of William made by Charlotte in 1840. I think we can all agree that he’s a fox. 1/❤️
