I appreciate the solidarity more than you could imagine but please don't let what's been done to @philipscomedy.bsky.social and me impact on other perforners - they had no knowledge of our situation and deserve to be seen.

I am at @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social #London and a #fandom novice! My kid loves #elderscrolls and #fallout. Is there somewhere I can find memorabilia or gifts for him here? Thanks!

It used to be a regular thing for visible Jews but I think the Internet provided simpler.(and less expensive!) options. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be...

Just had some proper retro antisemitism, took me back to the 80s & NF skinhead teens. I was on the tube & someone threw a penny at my feet then waited to see if I'd pick it up - old school! It does prove that fashions always return if you wait long enough, so hang on to those fur coats & crinolines!

The Best Invention Since Sliced Bread.

Penicillin's great. The spinning jenny was a marvel. The Hadron Collider - wow! But there is no invention that can compare to the exhilaration of discovering the skip recap/skip intro function on the TV. I rest my case.

For some moments in life, there are no words. For others, there are catchphrases and movie quotes. Name as many as you can!

“Even when they think you can’t handle the truth. They don’t know that we know they know we know best.”
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop & look around once in a while you could miss it. I’m dancing today, writing on Thursday. I haven't shut that door. After all, tomorrow is another day.”

“I’m sorry.”
“Don't apologize. Every time I talk to someone it's sorry this, and, forgive me that, and, I'm not worthy. The world is an imperfect place. I understand what you meant so let’s move on. Because that's what friends do! They forgive each other!”

It all boiled down to one inevitable conclusion: I was just totally clueless.

He was shocked.
“Oh. My. God. You talkin’ to me? I’m free. Anyone can make their future whatever they want it to be. You’re fired from this challenge!”
“Just like that?” I cried “Is that your final answer? I’m your number one fan!”
“There are no perfect men in the world; only perfect intentions.”

“What’s occurring is a big mistake,” I shout, “Big. Huge. Trying is the first step to failure. Use the force of your personality. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. Tell her you need to write. That’s you, that is.”

I mean, I love it when a plan comes together, but I couldn’t help but wonder whether wishing would make it so. It’s no way to live long and prosper. You earn what you take, the truth is out there. I felt frustration build, and we all know anger leads to hate. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.

Good grief. “I don’t believe it, that’s what she said?”
“Yep, the girl is an island unto herself. It won’t be a problem, don’t panic, I’ll be back with tomorrow’s piece. I have a cunning plan. Here’s one I made earlier, I started so I’ll finish.” He sounds confident.
“As you wish,” I respond.

He says we should write about catchphrases in our writing challenge today, yada yada yada.
“It’s a no from me”, I think to myself.
“Just one more thing”, he continues.
“I’m listening.”
“Winter is coming, the cold never bothered me anyway, but my wife wants us to keep dancing to stay warm.”

Tom Cruise is not Jack Reacher. The brilliance of ET did not deserve to be forced into a bad novel. The Princess Bride is perfect whether you read it or watch it. No cinematic version of The🦁The🧙🏻‍♀️&The🚪 will be as powerful as the book to a curious child. But mostly, Tom Cruise is not Jack Reacher.

Today I led an improv games session at a teambuilding event for a load of GPs at a conference. Suffice it to say that their "yes, and..." stories went to some really dark and grossly hilarious places!
