I asked my girlfriend if there was anything she wanted from the store and the first thing she asked was, “how is our cheese situation.” I’m going to marry this woman.

So glad I subscribed to the Quiet Posters feed. I finally get to see more of the accounts I follow. And, oddly, many of them aren't particularly 'quiet'; they post just as much as the others, it's just that I rarely saw them.

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD

Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?"

She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

Almost every bartender will give you a free drink if you tip well and treat them like a human being

That’s how low the bar is for antisocial tech bros. They can’t bring themselves to drop a fiver and be polite

As November approaches, never forget that the BBC pinned a poppy on Cookie Monster.

"YPRES MAKE COOKIE MONSTER SAD. NO COOKIES AT SOMME."
A middle-aged white man in a dark suit seated next to Cookie Monster. They are both wearing poppies for remembrance of WWI. I believe that Cookie was a key advisor to Field Marshal Haig.

Today is the 89th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street. On 4 October 1936, ordinary east end Londoners stood up to Mosley and his British Union of Fascists, refusing to let them march through east London.

Honour their legacy. Don't ignore fascists. Stop them.

They shall not pass. No pasarán.

Given today’s news, I was recently introduced to this piece by Patricia Routledge, and i always found it really moving.
**"I'll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry - worry that I wasn't quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn't live up to my mother's hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude."** My life didn't quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily - on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions - but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn't quite found. At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with - Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people's living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks. It healed something in me. At 60, I began learning Italian - not for work, but so l could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul. At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage - something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being. At 80, I took up watercolor painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible. Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I'm learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter - though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever. **I'm writing this to tell you something simple:** **Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter - if you let yourself bloom again.** Let these years ahead be your *treasure years*. You don't need to be famous. Y…
