Very enjoyable, with another thing to read nested inside.
Joel's words are excellently-written ones.
And if you look hard you will find the good names of James Mason's cats (apart from the kitten, I wish to know this name)
This is amazing! Really need to name a cat 'Beloved Vagabond' and I enjoyed the article's end note of 'Well let's see if people actually LIKE this film called Odd Man Out, shall we, Mister Fancy?'
Not sure if I should tag Sarah for politeness. I'm compromising by not doing it, while also continuing to wonder if I should have
This series is constantly really enjoyable
Today I have been using Sarah Amero's 'Cosiest Girl' system. It's pretty great (and also available to not-girls), it is in this one
Note made on phone. It says '11 ways to make a decision' then below is one suggestion, numbered 1, which says 'have enough time'
Phone note from a Dream Revelation
I agree with my unconscious self
With butter too, to stick it together? (You may have written butter and I simply ate the word because delicious)
I'm in with a decent chance of inventing you a recipe for this, but a fairly poor chance of remembering to buy one, or tell you. So do feel free to check, in one month, if I have done it.
Oh Robin, being better at things does not make you worse at them, even when you feel like it does. But I do send love for the feeling of it x
I think she's at Disney and Pete Docter is now the Pixar head. Heard him on Front Row this week, mentioning his use of AI for some ideas (word ones, not images) and I was extremely unimpressed
If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.
Fact. The screwdriver that tightens the arms of spectacles is only available inside Christmas crackers. Opticians have to pull dozens of crackers to get the tools of their trade, and if you look out the back at Specsavers, you’ll find bins full of wire puzzles, hair bobbles and fortune telling fish.
I don't especially like saying things I've done, or do online-ness of my Face, as it gives me The Anxiety
But, I did want you to know of the welcome atmosphere, and the good & kind things
Me, a white middle aged lady with lots of red hair, holding a sign saying Inclusive Feminism Only. With Robin Ince who looks like a kindly wizard in a cardigan, and he is holding a sign with two bits on. They are Don't Be Afraid To Be An Ally, and Let's Bring Up Boys to be Feminists. We are standing in front of an Amnesty Feminists sign which says I got 99 problems and the Patriarchy is all of them. I am standing in front of the letter P of patriarchy, by accident but let's say it's a way of dismantling it letter by letter
Also I was lucky to have my pal @robinince.bsky.social invite me, so I could engage, with extra friend backup
If you are a man, you are definitely wanted at these things too. You could go, you could even do this - being an ally of your pals so they can go as well, when it's difficult for them
Been at @amnestyfeminist.bsky.social event today & they were really welcoming
Including when I cried because it was too loud, got EXTREMELY excited by badges, nearly ate one of my earplugs, forgot how to speak
So if you want to do things but are a bit scared, would recommend

This is amazing
He's putting his arms out like he wants a squeeze though, how could you *not* feel sorry for him?
Jeepers, Ursula, that's on the nose.
No that's good, new harvest deity achieved
Landscape orientation pencil drawing of critter. It is drawn by an amateur. It has a snake body. To the left is a small to medium-sized lump head with beak and snake tongue. The critter has wings that are pointed ovals. There is some differentiation between snake tummy and snake top bit. Little air wiggles show that the critter is moving, probably flying but it is hard to say. The beast looks perplexed but accepting.
Here is my #FRANIMALS work for you. It can cheep but it sounds like static
I am being Very Very Brave and making a boring phonecall
It's been a while but am now 4th in NHS phone queue, am being played a piano concerto recorded under the sea
Happy Birthday, Pickles and Midnight! 🐁🎁
Cat names and tales, please
Sent an email which included the sentence, 'This is the monkey.'
No forgiveness required, this is a pleasing and good thing to hear x
They gave me the glowing ripples in the veins, I narrowly avoided crying and these hands are now extremely Well Shaken
Macro photo of a brown stink bug in face view on a leaf, guarding a tightly-clustered bunch of eggs that are shaped and colored exactly like a full tray of dark beer with foam on top.
Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.
Poem Midden Witch by Fiona Benson
Had the pleasure of spending the evening with Fiona Benson and hearing her share some poems from her collection Midden Witch
The collection is wonderful but listening to her read, the words lifted off the page and soared
