Oh yes there have been. We've seen them, dressing up as women, rifling through the drawers of children they killed from afar. Stealing jewellery to send to their fiancées.

It's not a hatefest, you malignant bitch.
It's demanding an end to genocide and apartheid, to treating Palestinians as subhuman, to capturing children, to raping prisoners.

If you are pro-Israel, you are pro all those things.

Bernard is the most extraordinarily pellucid reader, of Heaney in particular.

I'm sorry that you are feeling sad. I hope this helps a little. Better yet, that you no longer need it because you are happy again.

But my beloved @ghostsinsnow.bsky.social approved this: maybe it contains some endorphin-inducing quality.

I get that teenagers who have impulsive thoughts about such things need specialist support and therapy to help them.

I wouldn't be good with a tatto, I fear. Pain just makes me furious with myself.

I LOVE Ian Bostridge. He has, amongst other exquisite talents, wonderful taste in scarves.

It is perfect on you. Your skin is luminous and I'm sure the - chestnut? Mahogany? - is the ideal frame.

Beautiful. That looks like a proper way to spend a Saturday.

The Peace Prize Committee really looked at the Israeli genocide and thought 'We need to choose an unwavering supporter of this.'

Just sublime, in the fullest sense of the word. I'm so glad someone like you, capable of appreciating the experience to its fullest, got to see them.

So many things I want to see, but the Aurora is at the very top. I NEED to see it.

Thank you! I don't know about the latter, but I do like the shape.

Oh, baked, I think. Delicious filled, perfect alone or served with a beautiful steak.

Yes, Becka! Join the potato gang. Have you done the quiz yet?

Oia, right? Gorgeous town overlooking the caldera. I had one of the best meals of my life there, watching the sun gild the indigo water.

Thank you, Honey! I've been told they feel good, too. 🥰

It's more that it was a good substitute for saliva, and the cold felt good.

I had a girlfriend who would quite often have this issue - something to do with nerves.

I used to buy her a lot of ice-cream.

Going to the gym serves only to make me more aroused. Pumped, full, oxygen coursing around my veins.

Happy #FeralFriday

Then I suppose that must be his style.

It's me. 👋
I taught Lear's speech on social justice: now they're all Marxists.
I taught Orlando: now they're all trans.
I taught them Piers Plowman: now they're all Liberation Theologists.

Come into my classroom, Nigel. You'll be reading Emma Goldman by Monday, and in Palestine Action by Wednesday.

Respect and fair play to all the gifted teachers who, according to Nigel Farage, are poisoning our kid's minds with race issues.
I had great difficulty teaching some of the little buggers about triangles.

I'm certain that Musk thinks Azad would be a better way to organize society than democracy, and that he thinks he'd be Emperor.

(He wouldn't. He's not even any good at chess.)
