It has come to my attention that it's been an entire decade since Banksy's Dismaland. What even is time? Anyway, here's 27-year-old me getting into the spirit of things

I'm not going to get Z-A until Christmas so if everyone could please hold off on the hype until mid-December, that would be ideal

Good luck! Sometimes it takes a little while to figure these things out. Hope it all goes well for you ❤️

I went out for the day. Ori was, to put it mildly, displeased

A black and white cat sits on a bed (on top of her owner). It looks like she's scowling.

Same here. I only watched the first one and lost interest. Enjoyed the book though!

Yes! I used to watch the extras to drift off to sleep when I was 15/16. I found them really comforting.

(I had these DVDs as a teenager, but lost them somewhere along the line. Feels good to have them back again!)

I just picked up the entire Lord of the Rings Extended Edition collection in a charity shop. Pristine condition. £4. This is the kind of small victory that will carry me through my day

Do you like not being able to eat properly for a week? Sneezing uncontrollably? Waking in the night with the feeling of being suffocated by your own phlegm? Then boy, do I have the Covid variant for you!

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 6d

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 6d

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Tim Worthington @outonbluesix.bsky.social · 6d

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.
