Nobody asked for this. But here’s a thread of outfits I’ve seen Björk in. I think. Some records are… hazy.

Does anybody else sort their secret Santa the same day they pull names and then wrap it and have it in their locker/desk ready to go 3 weeks in advance?
Just me?

Nigella is one of my Patron Saints of Christmas. Between (mainly) her and (a smidge of) The Hairy Bikers, I’m all taken care of for inspiration.
🎄 It’s gone completely Christmassy on nigella.com! Come on over for food inspiration and to read my Christmas Witter (aka Season’s Eatings 2025) which brings glad tidings of some new recipes on the site, plus how to enter the annual Christmas Pudding Hunt!

Reading a choose-your-own-adventure Coronation Street book now (a change of pace) and my choices have taken me to Percy Sugden, Maud Grimes and Phyllis Pearce!
So camp. I love it.

Finally got round to finishing the Orton diaries. The last 100 pages or so mainly a cataloguing of his sexual adventures with “young boys” and him being proud of it, and it being seen as… somehow acceptable within his social circle?
He wrote some ok plays but that’s it, I’m afraid.

Not a surprise. But still an insult.
I will cheer when that man, and all those who’ve supported him, get their comeuppance.

The government handed an NHS data contract to Palantir – a spy-tech firm with links to war crimes and deportations.
We’re demanding that the NHS stops using Palantir’s toxic tech.
Find out if your local NHS Trust is using the software and say no to Palantir 👇

Remembering the people we lost - not just as friends and family - but as a culture.
Each life lost was a theft of joy, love and potential.

Robin are Steve are by far and away the best things about #StrangerThings. They deserve a spin-off. And it’s should be a monster-of-the-week kinda thing crossed with a queer buddy sitcom.

Labour should rename to “Elite B”. The Tories can be “Elite A”. And they can be honest about whose interests they represent.

Decorating for Christmas usually makes me really happy.
But this time I just feel like everything’s wrong and I’ve made things worse.
Ho fucking ho.

Manwife’s back went out getting my heels out of the loft so I’ve been left to put as much of the Christmas decorations up by myself as I can.
Just the grand tinselling and the ceiling danglies to go…

You do not understand how much of my personality is based on having a SHIT birthday.
The sad childhood. The friendlessness. The lack of parental effort. The life of lowered expectations. The resentment!

If you have a suboptimal birthday, you can just change it and nobody will know. My birthday is on Christmas Eve and I hate that, so I tell everyone it's July 22nd and celebrate in summer. It's not like anyone's going to ask for your birth certificate.
