Went to JP's school prize giving last night and it was so incredibly wholesome - the students would erupt with applause and go absolutely nuts cheering for every single kid who got an award, totally hyping up every single person. It was so freaking cool.

In Edinburgh a lady stopped Gar to ask where he got his cheesecutter hat because she'd looked in all the shops and hadn't seen any she liked and he had to tell her it was from NZ lol.
I bought it from Hills Hats, would recommend

Travelling at the moment and had so many little thoughts I'd usually tweet but no more twitter. Just remembered about this app!

The seed oil discussion has exasperated nutrition scientists, who say decades of research confirms the health benefits of consuming such oils, especially in place of alternatives such as butter or lard.
Kennedy and influencers bash seed oils, baffling nutrition scientists

Somebody said Trump thinks water flows from the Pacific Northwest to Southern California **because Trump thinks South means "down,"** ...and I think they're right.
Everything is so damn stupid.

Day 2 of looking after a 7yo niece. She's lovely and all, pretty well behaved.

My kitty had an apparently super rare bad reaction to the anaesthetic during her dental surgery that they couldn't do the surgery. Poor thing. I now have a stressed cat.

I wrote a deep dive into Mike King for @davidfarrier.bsky.social at Webworm. This piece is the result of 100s of pages of OIAs and my experience covering him since 2014, a lot of work!
