That's a good point! It's a very personal achievement.

Helped me with my professional confidence: I have a piece of paper that says I*can* do this!

In a proper 'frying pan to the face' way

Me, to 9yo: I like your outfit!
9: well now I have to go get changed. You've ruined my favourite outfit. I hate you and wish you were dead! Oh also, there's this cool squishy kit I want, could you buy it for me today?

And amazing that this is the guy who once twote this

Today I visited the battleground constituency of Gorton and Denton and was astonished by what I saw.

The biggest, bestest, floofiest St Bernard EVER. He was literally turning heads. Such a good boy!

Live footage of Lindsay Hoyle:

Indeed!

Been worried for a bit that the heating's on the fritz but turns out my son thought the 'heating' sign on the thermostat meant 'too hot' and has dutifully been turning it down 🙃

Ah, I was picturing some comical mishap involving the combination of the two. Poor chap, to have household appliances thrust upon him as a personality.

Ok it REALLY feels like there's a story we're missing here... 🍿

‘And behold, on the day after Ash Wednesday the King did send officers to take his brother in charge, and upon Holy Island a wondrous prodigy, a rock with the teeth of a man, etc.’

I hope every rich nonce in the UK & beyond is brought down because three hours in a custody cell with no staff and vending machine coffee breaks Andrew like a dropped trifle

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

shall we all celebrate by going to pizza express in Bracknell for tea

A humidifier on the sink in front of a bathroom mirror. The combination of small "on" and "full" lights above a wide curved vent make a pleasant smiling face and on the back of the humidifier, which can be seen in the mirror, another wide curved air vent and the two screws holding it together above it make a horrified face.

HAPPY PLACE. MUCH EXCITE.

Happy Valentine's day, folks. Here's my favorite story about the nerd and the honeypot.

I was fine explaining gay to my kids. I was fine explaining sex to my kids. I just really wish they hadn't waited until I was driving on the motorway to ask 'how do gay people have sex?' because then maybe I wouldn't have accidentally taught 4&6yo the word "dildo"

I'm so impressed by your knitting skills and how quickly you've picked it up! Your tension and decreases here are 🔥👌

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Photo of my feet wearing obviously mismatched grey slippers. They are both for left feet.

Look, I love my dog and I do realise that slippers must smell *incredible* to her, but this is honestly unsustainable

Two lunchboxes with anthropomorphic blushing fruit. The top one says 'I love peach' and the lower 'happy banana'

Alright Kenji, calm down

It's just what I needed, a lovely big warm intriguing world.

I was also in a reading funk then I saw you and @nedpotter.bsky.social talking about The Hands of the Emperor yesterday, bought it immediately and LOVE IT. The worldbuilding is just so good!
