Wow.

I hope this finds you if you need it.

I hope this newly finished watercolor brings a moment of peace to your Sunday. 🩵💙

There’s a follow on joke somewhere here about wrong consonant and re-engaging with the continent. Probably best left alone so we can all revel in the joys of “fisting rights”. Thank you for that image @roberthutton.co.uk

As you say, great to see this kind of analysis being given time and space.

@myfavouritebench.bsky.social I think I may just have found my spiritual home!

Definitely the first time I’ve seen cloaca used in the punchline. Really hope it’s not the last

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

“It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.” Yep, but we left funny behind some time ago. We’re also heading past serious, on to dangerous, and getting ever closer to terrifying. Thank you @lewisgoodall.com for calling out this madness.

Love this. And the replies!

We expect that some 50 Auschwitz Survivors will come to the Memorial for the 80th anniversary of the liberation. The eyes and ears of the world should rest upon them. We must safeguard their voices from silence, distortion, or being overshadowed. (Photo: https://buff.ly/4jd1BiU)

Just perfect. Will be trying to use le mange-marde at every opportunity!

In a good news / bad news moment, I dropped and smashed my favourite mug this morning. The good news? I was at least putting it into rather than taking it out of the dishwasher at the time. #smallconsolation #verysmall

Beautiful little summary. But also look at the thread for useful resources if you’re struggling.

It’s the time of year for mentioning one of my favourite ‘untranslatables’. ‘Poronkusema’, in Finnish, once denoted a distance of around 7.5km, which is roughly how long a reindeer can last before needing to urinate. ‘Poronkusema’ means ‘reindeer pee’.

This opening paragraph really made me laugh 🤣

Fantastic news. Our kids have just started to really enjoy Horrible Histories. Jamie in particular will love a similar approach to science

Still can't believe this bit of showbiz gossip

Dogs can't take cross-sectional X-rays to make three dimensional medical images. Cats can.

@gwowls.bsky.social Hey, thanks for the follow. Definitely interested in any ADHD content and any tips to better support our 8 year old. He is the most joyful dude, but also struggles to concentrate or hold to a task.
