I had a dream like this, and in said dream, my book was printed on slices of sourdough. Innovating!

Well I had a challenging working weekend in Germany, but I was told that my accent is beautiful, so nationalists at home can put that in their proverbial pipe and smoke it.

Ah, just until Sunday night! This is my first time here, but definitely want to return for a non-work trip—we will have to meet up!

I am in Berlin for work, and my hotel room has furnished me with a glow stick. Apparently for ‘emergency use’. Can the fact that I want to use my glow stick constitute an emergency?

My house is shoe free. My office? You’ll get my Doc Martens off me over my dead, cold body.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Pudding in the UK is more a spiritual state than a fixed form.

Honestly, all CharcoPress needs to do is announce a book and I buy it.

I haven’t seen any useful swan recipes on Saturday Kitchen, however. Anybody have ideas for side dishes? Maybe a nice glaze?

Didn’t have big plans for the weekend, but sounds like, as an immigrant, I’d better head down to the park and *checks Reform’s notes* eat a few swans.

This has never happened to me before, but my day was so unusually stressful that now, having arrived home, I have broken out in hives. Is this a thing? I don’t want it to be a thing!

Did you know that padron peppers—normally so mild and perfectly delicious—can get absurdly hot in September? Because I just ate one so hot that it reorganised my brain cells. My eardrums quivered! I could smell concepts! I could see physics!

I can’t say with certainty, but they may well be collecting data that help document disparities in healthcare and access.

Thought I was being clever to have my phone off until about 5 past the hour. Then I got the alert 7 minutes past the hour and about jumped out of my skin.

Someone in my neighbourhood has had a Union Jack up for a long time (for what I suppose were decorative purposes and not racist ones). Last week, they switched it out for a Ukrainian one. We love to see it.
