Got yelled at in sainburys for getting my daughter a blue (fox print) pram. I like foxes

There’s a wonderful case where calling the line manager a c word was found not to be gross misconduct because of the established workplace environment. Days when I really enjoy being a union rep

I’d go tale of Troy first but the luck of Troy is lovely!

Aha I just said that same, they are beautiful as you woudl expect from an Inkling if maybe a touch old fashioned

Specifically the odyssey or Iliad or just the myths cos I still swear by Roger lancelyn green’s retellings

Beautiful!

I was home from Uni and got a call from my dad who worked in London saying I’m fine but I can’t get hold of your mum. I said what the f and then we had to recap quite a bit. (Mum was also fine)

Legislate. No one needs these cars.

Bastard!

Lakeland heated airer! I swear by them to the extent that I celebrated the first one turning ten plus by getting a second to dry more stuff simultaneously

Also my school does regular swap shop and that is all my badges stuff

I like M&S and they usually have a random school sale in July. My M&S pinafores, summer dresses, tights, and polos are all going through a second child and work. The cardigans have needed a couple of darns

Ummm. I had a physio tell me I am hypermobile. Does that mean I am right I am falling over more cos of enormous stress (redundancies at work) despite my attempts to muscle strengthen?

Co signing this so many times. Also fascinating to see Nick Clegg is STILL in moral freefall.

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

Oooh also very tempting

Yeah that bit is less fun. Could you move next door so I can snuggle your baby? Hopeful face

New mystery why does the anecdote make me wish u still had baby sized humans?

That’s lovely

I remember all the discussions and talks a decade ago in HE around the library and learning technology community about 'doing more with less'.

I fear the reality is - even with AI - that we face of doing less with much less.

I get that a lot of people don’t like to read, which encourages reliance on ChatGPT and TikTok - but “aversion to reading” has been an issue for basically forever, and I believe that instead of just giving up, we should still be strongly encouraging people to read, because it’s good for society

Some babies are just built very differently! sounds like you got a different personality and I was a soft touch too x

It’s horrifying

Oh yes!!

They never do! First night home with a and she was awake for three hours between 3-6am and I cried cos I thought I had broken the baby

What if fascism is just bad and your moral obligation to fight it is not in any way diminished or altered by what The Left did or didn't do?

And this is despite her being in five point harness

C can fifty fifty undo hers and I just had to threaten her about doing it before I say. Which astonishingly has worked so far

That makes me feel very different about this lovely picture I took this morning…
