By 'travel writing' they mean 'to Faerie' and by 'memoir' they mean 'skeets', yes?

ps also hi :)

I was teaching this just this morning. I believe I used the phrase 'yes, and colour is a spectrum but 'windy' isn't on it'.

Never not funny.

Oh god what the actual?

Accidentally read the first one as 'Tiere auf dem Bahnhof' which would be something of a surprise.

A lamppost sprayed with 'FCK AFD'

This pleased me on our annual Christmas Market jolly last year

Seen a *lot* of USE ALT TEXT OR YOU'RE A NON-INCLUSIVE ARSEHOLE today.
Yes, alt-text is inclusive; if you can use it, you absolutely should.
But the world is complex; not everyone can do everything. By claiming 'inclusion', you exclude some people you claim to champion.

Just, maybe don't judge.

It is so perfectly shonky. I took my German friend. She was gently bemused and very entertained.

I'm not sure how well I explained Nicholas Parsons to her, though.

But I have been to the lawnmower museum in Southport. They have Lily Savage's mower.

I have not*! I fail as a stationery geek 😭

TEAM TRIP TO THE PENCIL MUSEUM

If you use pencils a lot I can send you a choir geek pencil to slowly work down into an r geek one 😎

Ashort pencil with the words 'R GEEK' on it

I do not know how to use R.
However, I do use a pencil for choir that says CHOIR GEEK on it. After several years of sharpening it shorter, it now thinks I looooove R.

I actually think it'll be enough fun to just imagine all the possible reasons rather than ask you why 😁

*nod* standard.

My current car is called Lucas, in honour of E V Lucas, early 20th century Wit and Commentator.

Because it's an EV, see?

Ooh now that's handsome

Noooooo 😭😭
Inigo was a Skoda Citigo. It was the closest rhyming name I could find. Plus of course then your could greet him with 'hhhallo. My name is', every time.

Honestly, the GUILT when i got a new car. My poor little Inigo, what if he thinks I stopped loving him??

Oh my god. Those poor other mugs. I had a genuine pang of worry about them.

OH HI 😁

Booke, booke,
Reade a booke,
Reade anothir booke,
Reade a large amounte of bookes -
Bookes are freakinge awesome

Ah, academia.
I hosted some staff from Manchester Met Uni today, just because they wanted to see how we do some stuff, because they're thinking of starting to do similar stuff. It was bloody lovely.

And now I am drowning in the work I would have been doing otherwise. Bah.

😁😁😎😎

Ooh, bookmarked for later! 😍

Alas, I did mine part time while teaching in HE. So I had to squeeze it in, in fits and starts, in between teaching and uni 'initiatives'. I'm glad I was able to do it like that because I couldn't have afforded it full time but I never got too much rabbithole playtime ☹️

You know I'm gonna say it. What was your idea about weird butt interaction?

Sorry about me 👍
