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 👍

Just watched the excellent Mr Bigstuff S1 thanks to the free Sky weekend.

Danny Dyer is probably one of my favourite actors.

There’s a comment piece in The Times about sickness benefits mysteriously going up and no mention of Covid, long Covid, the effects of lockdown etc. Boosters help people stay healthy, but now they are only available to the very old or people who can afford them.

It’s dispiriting that this is what getting a COVID vaccination now looks like to this chronic asthmatic.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

There’s an interesting looking documentary on BBC4 right now called The Librarians, about the attacks on “DEI books” in US libraries by right wing politicians and organisations

RIP JILLY COOPER! A queen who wrote THE most readable books in existence. People saw my thread of epic Jilly quotes and decided I was saying the books are shite. You COULDN'T be more wrong. Go and watch Rivals today.

Sooz Kempner @soozuk.bsky.social · Oct 18

🧵Some real Jilly Cooper quotes from her Rutshire Chronicles, the series of books that Rivals is from.

1) "Her breasts swayed like party balloons when the front door opens"
