I’m keeping myself sane amidst the #multicrisis by giving things names. The things don’t even have to be things. But some of them are. Introducing: Boswald Bacon, the Safety Kraken Cardigan Custard, the Bastard Bustard & Penny Quid, Tea Squid. Love/strength/safety & #resistance to you all 🍃

Micheal has curated here a monster thread of just the weirdest & most pointless things imaginable, all available to purchase in Japanese vending machines. Resources have seldom been squandered on such topnotch utter #weirdshit #WhyNoReallyJustWhy #INeedALieDownNow

The #poppies have appeared in the front. Significantly later, shorter, and less frilly than in previous years, but they’re here, and I’m glad of them. The elderly cat had his arthritis jab and a treat and is now gently wandering the damp garden, deciding where to snooze. Am only mildly jealous.

Reeves touts 'Labour choices' but let's remind ourselves what those Labour choices are 😕: Cut support for disabled people and keep hundreds of thousands of children in poverty while refusing to tax wealth fairly #SpendingReview

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

Yes, I’m grumpy today, I’ve spent the last hour wrestling with chatbots to try to cancel a policy for something I no longer have & return a thing that doesn’t do what it should. I object to the unpaid labour extracted by companies who cut customer service & comms to a thread. Grump.

Anyone also having a weird year for #poppies ? For years I’ve had hosts of glorious huge single reds all over the back garden & floofy, frilly tall reds in the front by now. I’m just starting to see 6-8” poppies out front, & ONE of that size out the back. Come back, poppies. I miss you :-(

Whole thread leads to this: “Sex-based rights are just tradwife bullshit with a fresh coat of whitewash, and they belong in the bin.” Which is a spot on description.

We can protect people. We can protect nature. But Labour are protecting the profits of property developers. The Planning & Infrastructure bill needs ripping up & starting again.

So very, very proud to have been a part of this. And this is just the beginning. If you enjoy Constantine/dark fantasy, this is very likely for you.

Thankful to have spent this afternoon sharing tunes with a friend, me on #fiddle & her on guitar, with gentle company listening in & chatting over a pot of tea in the kitchen. All the plagiarism bots in the world can’t replace actual people making actual music together. #ArtIsResistance #folk
