Possibly a selkie, dodgy sinuses, maker of stuff, problem solving, always tired mum and policy wonk. Strong tea.
We pay for 5 separate streaming services, but the films we want to watch aren't on any of them right now and I refuse to pay extra.

Right now those films are:

The Hobbit,
2001 A Space Odyssey
and
Close Encounters of the Third Kind

I'm going back to hard copies.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Seen a fantastic Black Friday deal on a robot vacuum cleaner which would be perfect for my flat. Can't bring myself to buy it as it would break Henry's heart

When you've baked possibly the best sourdough bloomer of your life, but nobody else in your houseful wants to gaze at it, smell it, marvel at the crumb and drum on the base in wonder, you end up taking photos like this that clog up your phone memory😍

Anyone else with kids get a bit panicky this time of year at the thought of the tsunami of crap that's heading straight for you over Xmas?? I'm in overdrive, stuffing binbags with junk nobody needs/uses to donate or skip.
Materialism is a poison.
No physical gifts for my kids please Granny et al🙏🏽

He's hiding the Epstein files for the same reason he hides his medical records and jobs reports. And it's not because they make him look good.

This'll give you a laugh.

I was just told by my 14yo, in all seriousness, that I'm:

'Legally obliged to feed him'

When I didn't make him a pizza from scratch with exactly the topping he wanted

A very good bit of simple comms here from @richardburgon.bsky.social illustrating wealth inequality, something which may fail to grasp the magnitude of.

Nobody needs to hoard this much wealth.

I think I've got my #sourdough mojo back.

This new starter was stubborn to get going, quite acidic for a while, but we got there!

Out for a walk with the wee one, spotted this great hulking tree stump to climb on, noticed its clinging onto life with new sprouts at the base.

It was this Goliath of a Beech, not dead yet...

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

I sometimes wonder how quickly the world would fall apart if perimenopausal women just said - nope, I'm not doing that.

Language matters. Asylum seekers live in appalling conditions but the buildings are described as "hotels". Members of the Royal family live a life of luxury and privilege but their homes are often called "cottage" or "lodge". Why not just describe things accurately?

Found an excuse to rewatch Slow Horses, now that my son is old enough. Just finished series 1 with him - and he's totally hooked!

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Highland beef from our local farmer went down very well in these layered tortilla skewers tonight. They're quite tricky to make, but it's a satisfying process and not a scrap was left. 😋

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

My god Slow Horses is brilliant. So many proper snorting laugh out loud moments, so many excruciating Roddy lines. It's just too short.
