Oh no, your cocktails stands on your translator device! What if Gr'zzlax knocks it over (earth cats would)?
The device won't work anymore and we can't get anymore missives from you.
That would be so bad.

Normal? Not me.
That would be an insult, being called 'normal'

Who is normal, what is normal, do you want to be normal? @alembisque.bsky.social asks

northwestbylines.co.uk/news/equalit...

Who wants to be Normal?

Should we all aspire to be normal, and what even is normal?

And Gr'zzlax helping you put a piece of flatpack furniture together? I suppose they are cheaper now the US doesn't want them anymore.
Typical felinoid, see a box - sits in it.

Knowing the way government works, they won't get past the 'start' stage
But seeing how oftrn the HO computer plays up (not available, can't prove your rights, earlier this year suddenly a lot of Europeans were on it as being Chinese...)

A Canadian friend told me that in Canada, Canada Geese are nicknamed Cobra Chickens.
Seems appropriate.

From his weekend, until October 5th
The Nottingham Goose Fair at the Forest Recreation Ground, with a SEND session every Sunday.
Fun for the children, great food, worth going if you are in the area!

Why doesn't he start with digital ID cards for all those with Settled Status, we have been asking the government for that for years.
Would be much better than 'online status only' and relying on the often malfunctioning Home Office computers.

Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social · 13d

I think Digital ID cards could well become Starmer’s Poll Tax.

Fuel poverty is a reality for many households.

And this is critical because a cold house can cause ill health and social marginalisation.

"The cynical among you assumed President Trump is panicking that Thomas Massie could secure the release of the Epstein files, but you are wrong. The president is so humble, he did not want you to know the truth: he was the one who saved those girls." 😀
