I bought my mum one little panettone one year, and now I’m in the trap of shopping for boutique versions at an Italian deli because she deserves a treat and I can’t bring myself back to just regular shop bought for her.
I got pistachio this year, it sounds amazing (and I’ll defo get a slice)👌

Obsessed with the “not a replica” label for this fine plesiosaur(?) skull in a rock shop window in Los Angeles.
He also had the composite mosasaur jaw of my dreams but it wouldn’t fit in my luggage

I think Scientology is having a mini re-brand?
At no point on this flyer do they mention that’s who they are, just mentions the “Dianetics centre”
3/10, pretty low effort compared to the 2(!) hand written letters we got from the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Sometimes you have to speak your partner’s love language and find an Irish bar in the middle to Tokyo that showing the football.
It’s a trade for how many Pokemon centres we go in tbh.

Using flags as a dog whistle is WHY we can’t use the St George’s cross.
Such a simple and stupid way to force a split in the public to set up a philosophical dichotomy that can then be used by politicians.
Classic and it’s probably going to work like a charm.

Airbnb is banned in my block of flats. The building owners removed all the lock boxes so the hosts end up doing sly shit like this. There’s a few hidden about.
Nothing like living near an Airbnb property to make you want to burn the company to the ground.
I’m very pro the protests in Europe.

I just bought this egg machine and I need everyone to know:
IT’S SO FUCKING GOOD.
It has no reason to be but it’s perfect. 10/10, straight on to the “would replace” list

19yr old me is very confused that somehow I’ve ended up at a Morcheeba gig?
Also, 10/10 for offering free ear plugs. I bring my own but ear protection is SUPER important and I love that venues recognise this 💕
