Tired most of the time thanks to #hEDS & #LongCovid I co-wrote a book on Disability & Church. Likes reading, words, Disney, Marvel, radio, musicals and funny things. She/her, but they's OK 👍
The 'rain' overpromising and underdelivering.

As Rod Liddle has died, I notice this column I wrote in 2019 about his attacks on people with M.E. is on the most read again. Rebekah Brooks, of News UK, described Liddle today as “provocative”. In reality, he spread lies about very sick people for cash. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Remembered the time I looked up "Poets" on YouGov to discover what poets are into. According to YouGov, fans of Poetry:

I just spent an hour designing posters, because I like things to look just right and not like EVERY OTHER POSTER THAT I SEE IN THIS AI HELLSCAPE.
The thing with this hot days is that, when it does finally begin to cool down at about 8pm, I am so exhausted by trying to thermoregulate that I am ready for bed.
Just saw a Tiktoker describing the orange man as 'Mr All Quiet on the Frontal Lobe'

I was a tech-savvy teen - my dad was a PC hobbyist who had us building servers and LANs from the age of 12 - and my GCSE classes in ICT (the term IT hadn't been adopted yet!) were hilariously outdated. In 2002, our textbooks still said "one day, five million people will be using electronic mail".
Dr Jo Kershaw@mthrjo.bsky.social · last wk.Even if the government is right to be betting the house on AI (and I suspect the way things shake out will be different to what we expect), this is likely to have the problem Computing as a subject has always had in schools, ie it’s pretty much instantly out of date. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Unfortunately I turned the TV on and The Lady in the Van was on so I *had* to stay up and watch it.
The thing about a Point Horror book is they commit absolutely from the very first page.
Saw Arcadia today. Cannot say I understood it, but I definitely enjoyed it. Does that make sense?

I'm at the O2 to see James Taylor and every time I come here I remind myself I SAW GLEE HERE. That wasn't a massive fever dream!!
LOL, "historically accurate." This is a story set 3,000 years ago that features Greek gods, a cyclops, a multi-headed sea monster, and a witch who turns a crew of men into pigs.
Lovely moment at Parish Lunch when there was a lull in conversation and a 98 year old just said gleefully, "Oh well, Andy Burnham's going to make everything OK!"
A fire engine has just gone past. 20 year old colleague did not laugh when I said "he'll not sell many ice creams going that fast"

We had a lovely time when Keegan was Fulham manager. A real sign we were on the up, but he handled it in a way that fitted with our small club culture (other division 2 teams at the time probably disagreed with us buying success, but they never took umbrage at him, and he always respected them).
