Fully weeping for this one. I grew up on TNG and I had the privilege of seeing him on stage many times, each time a revelation. My dad adored him, and so did I. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
Patrick Stewart, ‘Star Trek’ Captain and ‘X-Men’ Superhero, Dies at 86
He’s forever known for playing Jean-Luc Picard and Charles Xavier, whom he “admired for their morality, for their kindness, for their sensitivity, for their compassion.”

Out for the London Critical Role live show! Already seen so much great cosplay, people are giving out trinkets to everyone, what a good fandom. Also tonight is Vox Machina post-C3, my HEART. #criticalrole
I’m so sad about BioWare being shut down. Playing Mass Effect for the first time truly rewired my brain. I didn’t know games could do that, and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.
I mean it’s not ideal Miles is napping on top of a bunch of clean laundry and getting it all absolutely coated in cat hair again, but what am I going to do? Move him?! I’m not a monster!

First, I’m delighted by this article about the apparently quite specifically British phenomenon of surges in power grid demand based on TV schedules and when everyone goes to put the kettle on. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_pickup

It's forever wild that people see "I never liked their work anyway" as an accomplishment. "I'm not engaging with art I thought was crap" is not an ethical stance. "I'm moving away from something important to me because condemning what they did matters more" actually says something.
What happens a lot on social media is when someone (Warren Ellis, Neil Gaiman now Ed Brubaker) has allegations thrown at them people tend to leap out the woodwork saying "their work was never good." That helps no one as it's irrelevant. What matters is their actions and what they did.
I was 8 and on holiday with my parents in the US. We saw it on the news in our hotel room, and my parents talked about the weird feeling of finding out while everyone we knew back home was still asleep. Mostly I found watching her sons have to go through it all really publicly really upsetting.
I don’t have anything profound to say about the death of Diana. It did strike me at the time when people said that “and like the JFK assassination, you’ll always remember where you were when you heard” that for most of the British public, it would be “in the kitchen, making the first tea of the day”
The #hatchling wanted music to dance to and rejected all suggested options until I landed on Sandstorm and now she’s having the time of her life having a tiny rave to a bunch of 90s house, this is incredible. 😂
My cat doesn't actually sign cards to family and friends. I sign it for him because he can't actually write at all.
Fuck’s sake. Why do companies that make things for toddlers insist on having multiple designs or not making it clear what’s in the package. Packs of Pampers nappies have two different designs on, and the #hatchling always has strong feelings about only wanting the one she likes best!
I for one am happy to see neurodivergent people having their validity questioned on a daily basis as after lifetimes of trying to survive in a world that's not built for them, systems of care being underfunded and interacting in a society under educated in these issues, we have had it too easy.
Omg, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are starting a podcast, what a delightful blast from blorbos past. www.instagram.com/karenandarth...

Saw part of the eclipse atop a paddleboard in the middle of a lake, A+++
REMEMBER: all monsters respawn after a moon event, so don't start fighting a Gleeok or a Lynel right now.
Finally made it out to the water, and saw some ducks!
Gutted that driving up to the Lakes for this year’s holiday has set off an awful fibro flare and so far I can’t really do any of the things I was looking forward to. :(
