Julia. General weirdo. Norwich-dweller. I like crisps.
a game like Stardew Valley but you are a younger son in Regency England and you have just acquired a living in a peaceful village. Tasks include improving the dilapidated rectory, upkeep of the graveyard, maintaining relationships with parishioners. Delivering quality sermons gets you extra points.
I just successfully removed a spider from my bathroom using a plastic mixing bowl and an LP of sound effects from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. I feel unstoppable.
Kudos to those of my former design colleagues at what was then Archant who were part of that small team - they created the initial designs and put the first issue together in a matter of days (as well as coming up with many of those memorable covers through the years). 🌟
While it may not be to everyone's taste, sincerely very impressive that @thenewworldmag.bsky.social is 10 years old with 500 issues under its belt. Launching a print weekly in 2016 must have sounded completely insane. Congrats to the whole team.
I'm calling for a moratorium on people responding to anything at all with 'and you're surprised?' or 'and you've only just realised this?'
What did this poor creature look like in life??
Over the last few months these guys made me proud to be British: kind, practical, profoundly moral, a testament to this island. Now they're targeted by the very worst of us. I just gave them a bunch of money. You should too. Show those fascist clowns what's what. rnli.org/support-us/g...

People of All Genders Empowered to Maintain Delusion That They Have A Chance With Gillian Anderson
Gillian Anderson shared that she identifies as pansexual, saying in a new interview, “Pan, as in pansexual, as in attracted to all genders.” Anderson has spoken openly about her attraction to women and sexual fluidity for years, and now says pansexual is the label that fits her #NOH8
I need to start packing because I'm going to another country tomorrow, so obviously I'm looking up something very important in my diary for 1997.
I'm no expert but I just think don't think babies really need things tied round their heads, in most cases.
I was just doing some procrastinating in the place where all hope goes to die (instagram), and I saw a picture of a cross-stitch with the motto "Don't wait for your ship to come in, row out to meet it". But. I mean. You have to wait for your ship to come in before you can row out to meet it.
An American interviewer asked me about my political beliefs. #VoteBinface
I do not understand why people are min-maxing reading for pleasure. Why would you vacuously Hoover up books like you’re trying to win at reading. You win at reading by having a good fucking time!

Whenever I hear people saying that figures who were vile in public, and actively made life worse for other people through their actions or words, were kind in private, I think that they should have applied themselves to greater consistency across all areas of their lives.
i do not trust harlan ellison with ice cream flavours you know
"You come up with a slogan for the ice cream shop?" "Sure did boss, real fuckin haunting just like you asked." "what"
I know that memory is unreliable but also I instantly bring to mind the exact flavours and textures of the school dinner I was forced to finish at the age of 6-ish(?), just before switching to packed lunches.
ok, who the hell is letting off fireworks on the fourth of july at 10.24pm in a back garden IN ENGLAND?
can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool
British PM: Vacant James Bond: Vacant Doctor Who: Vacant If the King disappears in the next couple of weeks I think we may sink into the ocean.
A generation of children confined to exclusively posting on LinkedIn, humbled to share that they have been recognised as thought leaders in vertically integrating your mom's supply chain.
There's probably never been a better time to remind you that when David Hockney first took his Mum to California she remarked 'all this lovely weather and nobody puts their washing out'.
I'm assuming @labourlewis.bsky.social will be supporting this.

Everyone says oh no you wouldn't really want to live forever, the thought is horrifying. But I genuinely think I'd be fine with it.
