Flipping through a 2025 Suske en Wiske (Flemish kids comic series) and pleased to see the right attitudes being inculcated.

Damaging new guidance from the EHRC will shut out Trans people from daily life simply for existing, and anyone who doesn't conform to narrow ideas of how people should look could face suspicion and confrontation. We are taking a stand against this attack on human rights.

My daughter is doing a survey on consumer behaviour and sustainability as part of her masters. If you have 10 minutes to spare can you fill in this survey? And feel free to share. Thanks. arts.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

First time on South Bridge by bus since it reopened fully - with no bus lanes, it takes just as long or even longer than it did before. 👎🏼

Back when I had Twitter I used to offer free headshots for low-income authors, not sure I have much reach here but the offer is still there. London or Birmingham (although I’m in Glasgow and Edinburgh at the end of Aug and can fit in a session. Will have lights so can be indoors).

do you know how dangerous i'd be if "thinking about doing something" energy translated into "doing something" output

Somerset and Dorset friends, I am visiting you this week! Please come and see me in #Frome (Wednesday) or #Bridport (Thursday). I’ll be talking to my old friend Graham “Vinyl Revival” Jones and there’ll be lots of other fun music-related stuff happening.

There's a massive film crew in my road, causing total chaos. I am both surprised - and not - that we didn't receive a letter to warn us. Not that it may even matter since we've all been contending with roadworks, bus diversions and sinkholes for five months. 🦄

Good morning and welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday You don’t have to climb mountains today. Sometimes getting up, opening the curtains and simply facing the day is enough Not every day has to be about achieving great things.

It's 10 past 5 and I've yet to sleep a wink. I don't know what's going on with my brain, but the rest of today's me is going to be very unhappy.

Saw this wee lad today. I want one. Discovered there's a whole set. I want them all. I am a grown adult.

Walking around a food festival in the park when @valleyguitarist.bsky.social starts giggling at this WELL SHIT ALIEN PIZZA

It feels akin to mixing metaphors that when I accidentally put my phone on flight mode, my childhood pop culture brain said aloud to 'Come back to the five and dime, Little Sheba, Little Sheba'. (Is this the most niche thing I've ever said here?)

Today I complimented at least 10 strangers while out and about, mainly on their shoes or hair or frocks. I actually kept track of how many I did until my phone went flat earlier. Being kind and weird (not you, men) costs nothing. 💃🏼

DMing with a fellow Blueskyer and the cat is right in my face, with no sense of personal space, eagerly awaiting a very early dinner.

I had a few things I was meant to do today but opted out of all of them. And I've only now realised that the last time I was able to have a lazy Saturday was 17th January. So more of this kind of thing, please. 🫠

Get on it, folks! I'm going to Glasgow (but don't let that stop you coming).

"No self-respecting hot rodder would consider such a cartoonish excrescence." Have Sandy and Danny been abducted by aliens? ARE they aliens?

Writing about Grease turned out to be a much more interesting task than I expected - I mean this thing is beyond weird. I've made my piece about the film (really about the final 15 seconds of the film) free for all: open.substack.com/pub/bowbrick...

Caturday with Copper

Flipping round the various services, and there's absolutely nothing I feel like watching. I just need to watch some crap, I think to myself. Flip flip scroll scroll...Ah, SEVEN DIALS: everyone*hated* that; it's meant to be TERRIBLE. I'm going in!

I've been watching CAPE ROCK KILLER with Sam Neill, but one of the young female characters is so unbelievably despicable that I can't continue. Someone please send me spoilers about who did all the murders.

Told a group of people that A Thing wouldn't happen on time for them but they shrugged it off and said 'I'm sure it will all be fine.'. At the proverbial 11th hour, they've discovered The Thing won't happen in time and now it's turning into a big to-do. As it well should do, but also

Today's colours: accidental matching (again)

🎬 Making a rough start on a list of films I want to show new under-30 friends: All that Heaven Allows The Best of Everything Imitation of Life A Thousand Clowns Gypsy Dog Day Afternoon Johnny Guitar Marty Suddenly, Last Summer Stage Door What else? Social justice/LGBT+ undertones help.

All news about new PM is England England England England. It needs to be made clear when 'This won't apply in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland because it already happens there' or 'Scotland, Wales, NI have powers to make their own decisions'. Or anything at all to acknowledge life outside England

⚽ Depending on which way the wind is blowing, I can hear Hibs from my place. Just heard two big rounds of cheering in quick succession - they're already 2-0 up within 12 minutes for the European qualifier second leg. So for the moment they're 2-2 on aggregate. After that bus ride, I'm invested.

Local football match tonight and on the bus route there, there's space only for one lane of traffic, with cars parked either side. So the bus sits at the bottom of the road stuck and cars coming down can't get past, so it's a standoff. The council should ban parking on match days, like many cities.
