Have a great Comic Con!

I want to defend old SFF, but I have nothing to defend it with. That’s not to say it’s without value in reading them - they are the foundation of the current genre after all - and there are some great works out there. But if they don’t click or or you think meh - that’s fine. They’ve had their time.

It's brilliant - you know the whole Graham Norton Show story behind it, right?

Sad we didn't manage to hold onto the losing BP, but that's the best I have seen Wales play in ages.

No matter what we won

I don't expect to enjoy the match at all, but I am perfectly happy for Ireland to beat everyone else!

Many happy returns of the day to you! And all the good cake.

Volunteers can be absolutely anywhere! We organise online, and we run a solid online convention alongside the Irish in-person one.
Unfortunately we cannot reimburse our artists, much as we'd like to, but we hope not to ask too much of them.
Message me or email our Volunteer mgr for more info.

All volunteers welcome! We need people to help at the convention itself, but it's a year-long job to make it happen in the first place...

I'd be asking for some tiny bottles so I could take most of it home with me.
(I originally posted with 'small bottles' and then realised I'd missed a trick!)

I have that Top Cat one, and all the ceramic ones that size from Pets at Home. I still need more though, even with just the 2 cats... HOW?!!

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Returning the bee bombs I ordered as they are just balls of wildflower seeds and not, misleadingly, missiles made of several thousand angry bees to hurl at your enemies

The prettiest cat in the world, who I adopted 10 days ago.

You absolutely CAN just wrap joints with duct tape and hope for the best!
You just aren't always going to get what you hope for. 😁

Cold and sunny is my favourite, definitely, any time from November to March. (Coincidentally the months for my swimming group chilly dips challenge.)

Why would you not want all these things? I definitely do!

Curious myself - my mum went to Prague in 1964 with her church youth group (they were in their early 20s) but I don't know much about the trip. Though I do know she bought a puppet and a tiny toy bear made of real fur to use up the last of her money.

I keep thinking that's what's got me but do I remember to take antihistamines? No I do not.

I thought I'd take this day to share some Welsh art and the stories that inspired them!

Bookplate of daffodils by Anne Pratt

🌼 Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!🌼Happy St. David's Day!🌼

Daffodils have been a national symbol of Wales since the 19th century.

This bookplate of daffodils is from ‘Flowering Plants, Grasses, Sedges and Ferns of Great Britain’ by the botanical illustrator Anne Pratt (1806-1893).

Great analogy. Saw this on an anxiety page.

A white cat lies curled sleeping on a black duvet patterned with white cats in various poses.

It was of course a deliberate choice to coordinate my new cat to my duvet cover.

You are Spiders Catie.
Or Words Georg?
I'm not sure how it's supposed to go....

Can you believe it even then? (If a raindrop falls in the wilds of Donegal and there's no one to see it, etc etc...)

Already listened to this on my lunchtime walk - excellent as always but I was very disappointed that no one mentioned that Mr Burns answers the phone with Ahoy-hoy (because he's just that old).

Absolutely fabulous interview with the amazingly fabulous @diane.dianeduane.com, covering her entire career from start to the current werewolves on skis she's been chatting about on socials! I can hear all the stories in her voice too.
