So, people are going to have to pass A level english to live here are they? I hope they study what I did at A level, Translations by Brian Friel, about the colonial evil of the English forcing people to adopt the English language

Tick box! What a good idea. Won't make the blindest bit of difference, will it?

Hello everyone today we are getting some basic menstruation education! No, actually, MOST mammals do NOT menstruate! With maybe one or two exceptions, only primates shed their uterine lining in a regular cycle.

Other mammals have something called estrus.

All mammals menstruate. So why would ours make another mammal think something is wrong?

If it's going to be like this, the least it could do is produce some rain.

We are even sponsored by estate agents but they still don't get it. Also, "Can I hire a room above a pub for mine?" We even publish all this stuff on the website but people just don't read it.

I've just read a whole paper where every chart has come with the caveat that AI output could be incorrect. If someone I employed did that manually, I'd fire them.

Also, bearing in mind that we are Artists AT HOME, why don't we hire a whole building and exhibit there?

I have a huge problem with Polanski's cartoonish face. He just looks like something out of the Flintstones to me. I suppose I'll get used to it.

My god, I hate being asked if I'm "alright" in any context. What on earthly fuck am I supposed to reply? Hello, Very well thank you, I'm just looking?

Honestly, if you ask people for comments in a survey: "booklet much better than last year but don't like the typography". (It was exactly the same.)

I can only apologise for the spelling but I will be at this on 1 November in an effort to blanket Chiswick with my ceramics before the end of the year. If you're further afield, my website is always open. Link in bio. x

Skills look so easy that we often forget how much passion, practice, & time goes into them before they become that & perfect. Every pot made is preceeded by hundreds collapsed, lopsided, broken or flown off the wheel. These aren't mistakes, they're learning.

Tbf mass lead poisoning of young men might explain *quite a lot* of what’s been happening in recent years.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.
