This thread has me on pins and needles! Will they make it home to Portland?

lol my flight got diverted because of a medical emergency and they landed us in reykjavik in the middle of the night and deplaned us and sent us through passport control and then the crew vanished and then british airways sent us links to book an overnight hotel room but for a hotel at heathrow

Nigella Lawson taking big bites is exactly why I enjoy seeing her on TV so much. I do not wish to see any "Nigella is scared of spoons" discourse 😂

Watching Bake Off again because my love for Nigella overrides my hatred of Paul and Noel. Fave moment so far "the fear of the unmoulding grips one". It surely does Nige, it surely does.

Watching your dog get older is so painful. What do you mean that's my tiny puppy baby that I brought home in a cardboard box? Now she's tucked up on the sofa under a blanket because she has arthritis. That's my puppy grandma I guess, grumpy little baby dog 🥹

this tweet is NINE years old and is still the best trans rights policy advice out there

Our neighbour has a motorbike that sounds like a chinook is taking off from their garden whenever they ride it. That does not sound good for the motorbike. Is the motorbike hurt? Should we call the RSPCMotorbikes?

Amazing. No notes. 'Hardest bars in the oven' took me out

Back on my literary bullshit #SylviaPlath

Macklemore "every child deserves to live" Ed Sheeran "this is hurtful to a lot of people"

Going to a swimming party for a 6 year old. Most of them can't swim well enough or are not tall enough to go in alone. Diabolical.

My child isn't autistic but: She is watching one of only two snake documentaries she likes, in the shirt she wore to her friend's house last time so she needs to wear it again, with a timer for going out. I need to put her socks on so there's "no lumps only smooth". But sure. She's not autistic.

Stop making me cry on Saturday mornings 🥹

I am so lucky that I get to spend every single night holding the woman I love. I'm not sure how I would've gotten through everything that happened this year if I didn't have her to make me feel safe at night.

Nobody has ever regretted putting more cheese on something

I know people are down on the most recent season of Strange New Worlds, but did you SEE Spock's big titted evil twin?

School: remember to talk to your children, here's 3 fun ways to actually engage your offspring! Read! Talk! Play! Also school: they need to do homework, yeah on an app, yeah where YouTube is, & games, & the screen you're not supposed to let them see. No there's no worksheets.

Whatever you do, don't watch Wild Robot with your young children just before they go back to school. A LOT of tears. But it's a bloody beautiful film ❤️

Here here! Mad, drunk poet it is! #LauraMatsue #QOTD #booksky

Parents at Kiddo's school keep saying things to me like "well, we both have to work so it's different" & "well, I work full time so could you.." Fascinated to know how they think we afford a house & cars. Which one of us do they think works? What do they think we do?

Anyone who ever uses the pathetic, weak term 'WOKE' is by definition, a something that also begins with a W and has a K in the word.

Love seeing a colleague I used to enjoy working with and respect start using AI and become the kind of colleague who turns up under prepared and relying on AI slides they haven't bothered to check. And by love I mean hate with my entire professional being.

The idea of not being able to contact someone for an extended period of time feels profoundly unnatural and yet nothing could be more natural. What's unnatural is having a device in your pocket that connects you to the entire fucking world 24/7 and serves up content specifically chosen to upset you

Dear whoever designed those cute little ballet pump bridesmaid shoes, Why the fuck would you make them SO CUTE & yet attract SO MUCH DIRT while also being basically uncleanable. I hate you. Signed the mum of a kid that wants fancy things & to also grub about climbing stuff 😫

"Biological women" implies the existence of chemical women, radiological women, nuclear women, and explosive women. All are WMD - women of mass destruction.

A reminder that the UK Government continues to support the Iran war through the use of our bases to launch strikes. A serious attempt to end Rip off Britain would mean withdrawing our support for Trump's war immediately.

Bought a new pink fridge and can't QUITE get it up the stairs. Will the horrors never cease 😭

I don't think that it's possible to attend a university and not graduate without knowing *something* that should be sufficient to get somebody fired.

Universities are riddled with old white guys who have sexually assaulted their students, but still get a paycheck while not teaching. You won't hear about that.

Burning fossil fuels makes wildfires more frequent and more intense. Of course those who have made record profits causing the problem should pick up the bill.

Zack Polanski, "If we decarbonise by 2050, that would cost less than a single (fossil-fuel) energy shock" "We've now had two energy shocks in just a few years" "We cannot keep waiting, we cannot keep hoping for magic technologies - it already exists, what is lacking is the political will"
