Hello. I am adopting a cat with extra needs and I'm trying to raise money to get him to me and for some tests and possible medication that he needs before and after. Should anyone feel like throwing a quid or two into the kitty (so to speak).

A cat stretched out on the floor with all fours up. His head is black but from the neck down he is a kind of dirty brownish/tortie/black type. He promises to be quite a kooky lad.

When I posted this, I was still working on HELLER IN PINK TIGHTS and finishing it has proven to be one of my biggest chores in a long time. Sorry, George Cukor, but it's one of the worst movies (I can't even call it a film) I've ever sat through. And it's still not over...

Honestly, it's been a bit of a quieter week or two than would be... ideal. If there's a book that's on your mind, we'd love it if you bought it from us! Email us, DM us, etc.

The place to go for depressing haircuts. (I'm allowed to say this as a depressive person.)

A shopfront called BLACK DOG BARBERS. (The joke is that depression is often known as The Black Dog. In case you missed that.)

I could possibly get it even smaller. Standard laptop for scale!

No one really heard of them in the US either... That was a very homemade video; genuinely where half of them lived. I used to hang out there and there weren't that many of us who followed them around!
Parker Lewis also wasn't v popular & I've not seenER in 25 years so don't remember him being in it

Can I volunteer for you for a couple of hours on 1st November? I've DMd @chrisbrosnahan.com re a proposal... 😊

Six rowdy teens rode the bus for 7/8 stops, taking over the entire back row and blasting a phone. As they finally got off, shoving past other people, a collective sigh of hatred filled the bus.

Needed help with a document from my Belgian GP -- she acted on it from my email within EIGHT MINUTES. This would not happen in the UK...

Good, aren't they? I bought an extra pair for when these fall to bits. Just found out this morning they've now made socks to match, so all over that.

Have teeny tiny tears running down my cheeks because I finally made A PHONE CALL FROM HELL and discovered this might not be true. I found a real, human person who's going to work hard to get my #ADHD diagnosis is recognised so I don't have to wait years and years to do it all again. #SaveTheNHS

CynInBelgië | she/her @cynderness.bsky.social · 11d

(Never mind the fact they want me to be reassessed for ADHD, for which the wait list is several years. Top stuff. Good morning!)

Oh, gigs for sure I'm used to being around the white-haired and Zimmer-framed brigade. But things like OVER 50s LEARN COMPUTER SKILLS (hello, we know this already) and OVER 50s TEA DANCE, etc make me shake my head sometimes.

Nice typo.

Had a wee debate with myself about why night's leftover frozen pizza for breakfast is fine because I'm a grown up and do what I WANT. (Real issue could be WHY is there leftover frozen pizza; the answer is because I very much indulged to celebrate something, so also had WAFFLE FRIES)
Good morning!

Splendid posts like this help me with the fact that I consistently confuse her with Ann Todd.

I've somehow seen only a handful of Morse, but I did Endeavour start to finish about a year and a half ago. Like many things that go on a bit too long, it lost its way towards the end. But mainly good.

I keep seeing events publicised for people in my age bracket and all I ever think is 'Why would I want to hang out with a bunch of old people?'. It can be very difficult to remember that you are that old people.
