Currently at 69% of our target (nice) -- we really need to book Mango & the wonky kittens in for scans & treatment ASAP. So here's our promise: if we hit the goal by the end of the week, we will keep wobbly dwarf kitten Chessie and name her Smolla Paula www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-...

Plus: -We has carpet! Minus: -I ruined the newly painted walls while cleaning off the inevitable scuffs. -The carpet fitter peed in and on our toilet and didn't flush. -I paid £40 for them to take away the offcuts and they still left a load. Same as it ever was.
Note to self: hard boil more eggs. They're way tastier than I remember.
Tomorrow afternoon is our fun Positively Puzzling event, a light-hearted social afternoon with tea/coffee & biscuits included in the cost of £5. There’s no need to book, just turn up at 2pm. It’s all kinds of word puzzles as well as sudoku & visual puzzles etc. Go at your own pace. #Bexhill
After much being fucked around of* the carpet fitters are finally getting started on the stairs and landing. One of them is whistling "zippidy doodah" loudly and poorly in an echoey space and apparently, *I must not murder him*. * proper grammer, innit?
If women wore smart glasses, they'd be banned. (soigomaa/x) Think about it. If millions of women wore smart glasses, recording men's behaviour, conversations, comments, their driving & bar chats ... can you imagine the panic? Trust me, smart glasses would be regulated before you can say 'Meta'.

Been drafted onto a Case Studies module for next semester, where I will be delivering 2-hour lecture/seminars of "examples of literature based world-building" on works by HG Wells, Asimov, Burgess, Frank Herbert, Philip K Dick, Philip Pullman and William Gibson. I could not be more stoked.

The Times, one of the leading voices when it comes to 'protecting women and girls' calling a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend, said he would rape the kids if he was a teacher and called for child sex abuse porn to be legal, 'brilliant'
Charlie Brooker has inevitably been mentioned and he actually did a very accurate description of myself when he sighed a copy of his book for me 20 years ago.
Graeme Swanson@swansonian.bsky.social · 2d agoWhat’s your favourite description of a famous person? I like Alan Partridge on Gary Barlow who described him as a “Wide hipped wealth enthusiast”

I think this totally fair, but in exchange I want a personal thank you letter from Clarkson for the £250,000 that his farm got from government subsidies that come from my tax money. I don't want a form letter, I want him to write it like he means it.
Politics UK@politicsuk.com · 3d ago🚨 NEW: Jeremy Clarkson says benefits claimants should be forced to write a genuine thank you email to a random worker every week “It is SO kind of you to go to work every day so that I don’t have to. Thanks to you I was able to buy an even bigger television this week”
