Overheard: “Proper autumn, innit. Leaves is bare gold.”

Fast time let’s fix a break

Like a rejected Bob the Builder catchphrase

Arguably if you’re “fixing” “break-fast”, you are not breaking the fast at all, therefore you are feeding your guests nothing :(

The platform formerly known as Twitter may be horrible, but it is still shaping policy. So were we all wrong to leave?

Was the left wrong to leave X for BlueSky?

You’re *supposed* to croon “I like mine with a kiss!”, for future reference

They are saying “this kid is insane, man” as we speak

Currently reading the Chernow biography of Hamilton

I’m up to the bit where he put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain, and he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain

Just get a refurbed Lenovo off Amazon and put it on expenses, for crying out loud

You’re welcome

You can’t even afford a new keyboard? 😢

In her culture, ‘Gordon Bennett’ is as offensive as cunt

C. Buckthorn @cbuckthorn.bsky.social · 22h

My 4yo thinks ‘Gordon Bennett’ is a swearword. “I’m too young to say it,” she solemnly informed me

C. Buckthorn @cbuckthorn.bsky.social · 23h

Oh yes. Hope you have too ❤️

It was the week before yours. What a shit year all round xx

I was off work because my mum had just died. Two weeks to grieve a dead parent and then a dead baby and I felt so enormously guilty about it

Today marks the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

This year, it comes as the UK is about to pass a law guaranteeing the right to bereavement leave for miscarriage, making us one of only 4 countries in the world to offer it.

My heart is with everyone who experiences the heartbreak of baby loss.

I know, more time spent writing for the readers of Lær! magazine, less time spent posting on Bluesky

Just had a great meeting with a major player in the “Norwegian leather industry”. Sad to say posting on LinkedIn really works
