Based on the bouncy joy of all my fellow voters, I think the School District money request will pass.

We need these stickers!

Marguerite @margueritek.bsky.social · 3h

The reason I vote in-person is to get a sticker.

Pathetic!

Deleted previous post because of a typo. Even more pathetic.

Lik-e-Lix Liver Sausage and Cat Grass flavour. It is their favourite. He is very deferential to his sister, which is why Prospero doesn’t appear in this photograph.

they knew - of course - that I had bought them a treat, without me even having to tell them, or show them, after getting home from a hard day’s work in the service of the Lord

Yeah. I have voted in every election for which I have been eligible. Never missed one. A lot of years, now. Even the parish council election when only 16% of us showed up to vote - and they expected us to vote, without even knowing who they are or what they will do for The (Civil) Parish.

Let me just say this: I wouldn't trust anything you actually care about to FedEx. Period. This is not the first time this has happened to me. Also I wish y'all could have heard the tone shift when I said "the lost package is a brand new computer." Yeah so uh they better find it.

Trying to retain my Christianity while speaking with FedEx customer service about the fact that they let someone who isn't me sign for my high price package 🙃

London #Heathrow Airport, Terminal 5: I’ve been coming here for years: there’s this glass floor, where you walk through from the car park to the Arrivals Hall - you can see the London Underground station underneath your feet. I don’t look down, these days.

bought my first #Christmas thing today. I buy food at this Waitrose often, these days, because it reminds me of my Grandmother, who was born a stone’s throw from it, shopped here when it was first built and lived in the same town her entire life. I do like a strong woman.

the answer to all of these kinds of questions is surely always Northern Ireland!

are sitcoms even a genre, these days, Anna?

Anna James @superteadrinker.bsky.social · 5h

One of the problems with 21st century sitcoms is the theme tune is never sung by the main character.

I think the blokes further down the carriage might be doing the Real Ale Trail.
