A child gave me two stickers about 30 seconds before stickers got banned from the classroom, so I'm hoping no one notices.

Jesus is your face ok? It's a horrible scary feeling x

we are the daughters of the witches who had to see that damn Tumblr post about Medusa at least once a week when we just wanted more lindsay lohan photoshoots and highly edited images of rainy autumnal london stolen from Pinterest (while living in London, mind you)

unfortunately for thirsty followers and haters alike I've always used it as a springboard for the same small set of uni photos with my Bow Wow Wow hair

"Post you from a different era" is middle-aged Bluesky code for "lemme see you when you were hot"

Put my headphones above my ears while I generated an inpost drop-off code and she called me 'Benny Jesuit' WHAT is the grip these characters have on my mother???

Just tried to ~throw it back like it's 2024 and it took about 500 attempts to even get my head off the ground, this is FRIGHTENING. who knew strength and stamina could be undone so quickly once you stop working out?!

one of the children told the class teacher 'last year Miss did a full backbend crab in class!' which is true but I'm sure there was a valid reason, and then reinforced it with 'Yeah, she threw it back!' which is not remotely indicative of my finesse but I'm Mementoing it to be true from now on.

She was SO delighted with herself for getting the bene bit right(ish) 😂

Yesterday we watched Charlie Cooper's winter solstice programme in which women paraded in veils and costumes, and we can now add "Jenny Sensorous! Benny Serious?!" to the list of things my mother has said when attempting 'bene gesserit'.

I've done too many coffee-fuelled rants on IG already this morning, so I've brought myself here to say that I don't understand why we all agreed to make Stanley Tucci the next Cary Grant. He Gets On My Nerves.

I'm the WORST person to be at the back of the line for our local area walk. doing pistol squats with the girlies when we stop to sketch trees, and holding hands listening to everyone's favourite violent deaths from the jurassic park franchise.

A lot of my annoyance is almost certainly from uncomfortable similarities, but the public school-coded buffoonery is where I'm a purely principled hater, and this list is peak That.

I've reached the bit where he apologises to 500 clubs for the coke habit as if going to clubs to begin with isn't the mortifying choice, and then to various media offices where the personal assistants probably had stronger habits than him.

I really, really, REALLY need to know who he thinks his audience is.

I'm prepared to put up with a lot when in the mood for something by Stephen Fry, but I had to close my eyes for a long moment when he explained in an aside what a bibliography is.

One of my faves from Y2 (now Y5) just saw my face at lunchtime and spent five minutes saying 'oh god, oh your face is so messed up, it's destroyed. jesus. did you go to hospital?' and when I said no started on a new cycle of 'I'm just half-dead and I'm going to work. jeez you need a raise' 💀

I've been feeding next door's cat Gavin while they were away. He LOVES having his head and ears stroked and will reach up to pat for it if you stop to take a photo of him. Last time he clambered right up onto my knee and sat himself down when I was only squatting, which he's never done before.

Thank you x
