Beautiful city! It was the destination of one of our annual pre-Covid road trips.

You already know the answer - watch it again!

Without a doubt, the fanciest “cone of shame” I’ve ever seen!

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, BREAKING: Vladimir Putin boards the presidential limousine, known as "The Beast" with Trump, who has given Putin an unearned king's welcome, one night after Russia bombed more civilians.

Utterly despicable.

I really hope there are enough sensible people to make sure this doesn’t happen. Him getting the Nobel Peace Price would cheapen every single award before it. Yet there seems to be no limits to how low he can go.

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

Happy birthday Jen! I will be a whole new number tomorrow! We can be birthday buddies 😊

I have three girls and have had trouble finding a card that wasn’t from “Daddy’s best boy” or similar… It’s also hard to find cards that aren’t for the “World’s Greatest Dad.” What do you do when your dad is mediocre at best?

I bet it looks great but I feel your pain!

We need some major repair work done on the house and there is a possibility we’ll have to move out temporarily. I’ve been trying to clean/declutter/minimise so I’ve been working really hard all day.
Does it look good? No.
Does it look better? Also no…

The Song of Achilles by @madelinemiller.bsky.social nearly killed me. I read it in November and I still haven’t recovered. I can’t wait to read it again.

It has come to my attention that "up and not crying" is an acceptable Norwegian response to questions like "how are you doing?" and l'll be immediately adopting this for the days when I am, in fact, up and not crying

My first thought was “worth their weight in gold!” but it’s true for both!

What part of the world are you in Spencer? I’ve only been up three hours 😂

Keir Starmer is my MP. This is the letter I wrote to him today.

Subject: Island of Strangers?

Mr Starmer,

Let me tell you about this ‘stranger’.

I really want to say The Outsiders but I actually can’t remember what happened in it! I do remember reading it as a young teenager and being absolutely floored by how good it was but I also feel like I was completely devastated. I’ve been meaning to read it again for years, maybe now is the time…

Has anyone ever gifted you a plane?

Keir Starmer claims soaring immigration has done incalculable damage to UK economically and politically

Shameful bullish. What's done incalculable damage is a decade of pernicious falsehoods about immigration, while people who should know better refuse to counter the lies of the increasingly normalised far right.

Let's tackle those lies:

Congratulations! I remember you sharing it when she did the project. She deserves all the praise!!

I loved this little conversation made entirely of Heartstopper gifs 🥰

My Mom died of cancer.
My grandparents died of cancer.
My best friend died of cancer.

Many of YOU, Democrats and Republicans, have friends and loved ones who died of cancer.

Cutting cancer research is evil AF, and we should ALL agree on that. If we can't, we're cooked.

It’s a perfect break. Hopefully your day improves.

Well done 🎉 One hour and 8 minutes before deadline is not to be sneezed at! It is a good 38 minutes earlier than I would be doing mine, sometimes more.

I am also a socks on 24/7 neurodivergent. I NEVER go without socks and my ND children who hate socks freak me out because feet are just yuck.

Happy Birthday Spencer! I like your hat 🥰

If you're autistic/ADHD, and have coped fine, that's just great. But many simply can't - there is a wide spectrum of impacts.
If you then argue that because you coped, autism/ADHD are not real disabilities, and those who struggle are somehow 'weak' or 'to blame', then you should sit down & shut up.

Fountains Abbey is a lovely spot! We’ve been a couple of times on our way home from holiday. The kids always like another one to add to their passport.

Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever met someone so mean in my whole life! I can’t believe you want me to pick JUST ONE?!!? 😆
