The worst news. I’m so sorry, it’s the most painful thing.

Oh no, oh nooo, I’m so so sorry. Oh Parkin. He was the best of cats. I do hope you are as okay as you can be.

I went down to the Thames foreshore and saw, where there had been dozens of geese and swans and ducks and pigeons there were maybe fifteen or twenty birds in total. Maybe six swans and six geese, a few pigeons and I’m not sure I saw any ducks.

Fucking bird flu. I came home and cried.

Remember to look up at the moon tonight. 🌙

Labour always going on about "the Red Wall" but I don't think those mice are even allowed to vote, no matter how good their food is.

Which delivery companies in the UK actually deliver things reliably?

For everyone living with anxiety today, and let’s face it, the world does feel a bit crazy right now, here is a moment of calm just for you

Have a look at some owls

They are so much worse now than even a couple of years ago.

I had it in December when a parcel went to about five different places before eventually turning up. I wonder that any company can be so breathtakingly incompetent!

Good luck!

I’m waiting for a parcel. Royal Mail sent me a message saying “oops, sent to sorting office 100 miles away, we rerouted it”. You’d think they’d reroute it to the right place, right? Right?

Books are not clutter. Clutter is all the other stuff that gets in the way of having more books.

This is so very beautiful.

Happy #Imbolc, ushered in by Brigid and her hare. Nature is stirring, there’s a full moon. The winter is ebbing away. The seeds scattered last year are waking up. Pat yourself on the back , you’ve made it through another winter.

I can’t understand how anyone could not want to have a dinner party with Mary Beard! She’d be hilarious and fascinating.

Introducing Cuddles Von Profit, a capitalist cat-astrophe and a purr-fect reminder that billionaires are ridiculous, but cats are essential.

100% less morally reprehensible than a billionaire.

Adopt Cuddles and own a billionaire instead of them owning you.

Warning: Do not eat.

Absolutely glorious

I love how the bear places a marshmallow on the back of a paw and delicately nibbles it

Andrew has really taken one for the team (ie everyone) here. This thread continues long past the point of despair, and is worth every post

Reminder: a significant number of mainstream UK politicians think what's happening in America is a) good and b) should be done to British people.

All the people in the US who are protesting and resisting are heroes.

Petition: Ban the use of smart glasses with recording capability in public spaces We ask the Government to ban smart glasses with cameras in public spaces. We believe they allow secret filming, and undermine privacy, safety and the public’s right to know when they’re being recorded...

I found a petition to ban smart glasses in public spaces that needs a bit of a boost, if anyone else feels strongly about this: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

"in most cases, these videos appear to have been filmed secretly - using Meta smart glasses."

Argh for the love of god BAN. THE. PERVERT GLASSES.

Today’s moment of calm. Take a deep breath and count to seven. Then enjoy my Chorus of Wrens Singing in the Peas

Oh are we doing that whole bit again where we pretend Brianna Ghey died because of social media rather than because of the people who stabbed her 28 times.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place
