In an RTA, car a write off (not my fault) Got no details of other driver cos police said 'we'll do it all, call you later, visit tomorrow' No phone call, no visit. Insurance company blaming me until police say otherwise. 3 days later still no police contact & they can't say when they'll call *sigh*

Sitting on the train listening to an adorable 3/4 year old having a chat with the woman opposite about why she's wearing a hijab and what being a Muslim means and it's maybe the best example of 'kids ain't born racist' that I've ever seen...

Watched it for the first time on Saturday. Loved it. Wish I'd written it. Watched it again on Sunday. Still loved it. Still wish I'd written it. The end.

Well 28 years later was not what I thought it was going to be like. At all.

Genuinely devastated about #DameJillyCooper She and her books were a huge inspiration to me and I always wanted to meet her, and always thought I would at some point, because I always thought there would be more time, as you always do 💔

I'm Fine by @richardhwrote.bsky.social is out today. I got to read a proof and I'm quoted for it because I absolutely adored this book - charming, engaging, funny, sad and surprising in all the best ways ❤️ And a story that deserves to be told. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Buy it please...😊

Bit mean to Vegas whorehouses if you ask me...

Josh Marshall @joshtpm.bsky.social · Aug 19

Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.

Tried to watch #AndJustLikeThat but the programme's depiction of a teenager with ADHD is so fucking awful and poorly researched, I can't do it. Terrible, terrible writing...

I NEVER criticise other people's art... and just like that...I am.

Oh you definitely should - it is excellent and he is SO GOOD in it

Bethany Clift @bethwritesstuff.bsky.social · Aug 3

Just watched #fightorflight which was excellent and I very much enjoyed Josh Hartnett having the absolute time of his life 😁

Alt: a man with blonde hair and a beard is making a funny face and making a peace sign - is what AI pre-filled the alt text with. I would say it's a gif from the movie fight or flight in which Josh Hartnett has consumed many drugs and is now tripping and enjoying himself greatly whilst slaughtering a plane full of assassins. Fun times!!

It's only as you get older and the people around you get older that you realise #Landslide doesn't just have to be about romantic love...
