It gets better: her mother’s maiden name was Little. Adam Chicken and Margaret Little married in 1748.

And later, Sible married Lancelot Johnston.

Can someone please point out to my brain that intensively researching the 1750s in order to write a story about my 6x great grandmother Sible Chicken’s childhood, is not on this work day’s to-do list?

… I assumed that it was a babyfied name like kittycat, puppy-dog, moo-cow, etc.

The first time I saw one in London I just about fell over πŸ˜‚

I also didn’t realise that the white ducks with yellow beaks existed outside of picture books.

Partly this shows just how much smaller the internet was then!

I just saw my first bumblebee of the year, so here’s a fun fact about me: until I moved to England at the age of 29 I had no idea that bumblebees were a separate species to honey bees. We don’t have bumblebees in my part of Western Australia and I had only seen them in children’s books, so… 1/2

Currently, clicking on β€œfamily centre” just brings up the age verification request again for me 😭

A screenshot of a β€œthanks for verifying your age!” screen from discord. I have used markup to scribble AAARGH on it along with an arrow pointing at the β€œDone” button.

So like most Discord users in the UK it seems that my age was randomly changed to teen, locking me out of some servers. I managed after much faffing to get it to accept my verification efforts… but then the Done button does. not. work.

Not on phone app, laptop app, or browser.

I first read them when my youngest sibling (who was also the first of us to score an autism diagnosis πŸ˜‚) was the same age as smol!Ramses. The similarities were *hysterical*.

That is how I am reading them! They’re glorious.

Currently re-reading all of the Amelia Peabody books, because I’m in that kind of mood.

The way your skill has developed blows my mind. You should be so proud!

Yeah, agreed. I absolutely HATE the β€œthings that never happened” people, but that? That never happened, or it didn’t happen the way he claims it did.

This year I am getting my beloved 1980s Playmobil figurines and assorted compatible furniture down from the loft and making them little homes to live in on display. I hauled them over here from Australia, they should get to live again. I’m 45 and no one can tell me no.

I went on a 5km walk then went to the pub and was NOT PLEASED when my semi-accidental timeline bubble was popped.

IF THE SHOE FITS

Justice Brett Kavanaugh isn’t happy that his name has become synonymous w/racist immigration enforcement.

ICE’s policy of detaining people based on ethnicity is called a β€œKavanaugh stop,” named after his ruling that allows it. He’s afraid the name will ruin his β€œlegacy.” Too late!
