I love second hand craft and cook books! They’ve Seen Things so my BS will look tame in comparison, or so I tell myself

Is it because you get scared when you’re writing?

a) an English degree does not prevent you from getting and doing a [scare quote] real job [scare quote]
b) there are things, goals, and values in the world other than money
but also c) last year the publishing industry's estimated worth to the UK economy was ELEVEN BILLION QUID.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

Like any proper Nordic knows, a proper breakfast is not skyr or yoghurt or porridge or whatever. It is a cinnamon bun the size of your head.

I am now a very happy Nordic.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Well, quite!

I don’t recall if I used a 2.5mm or. 4.0mm. No idea why I would have done it differently.

Kay Grannell @ismarah.bsky.social · 1d

Wow! I’ve made a few things from Whirls and they’re so lovely to work with, which is just as well as they take forfuckingever.
They are however very portable projects. Just one whirl and no faffing.

Just had to whip out emergency cute animal videos after the 11yr old misjudged her leap (and her own size!) into bed for a cuddle and instead pile drove both knees into me.

It wasn’t on purpose but that doesn’t make it less upsetting for her. So, elephants.🐘
