Don’t be complacent - get out and vote - we’re being told it’s in the bag so people aren’t voting😢

I love audiobooks, I really do. I can accomplish so much while listening to them: knitting, housework, cooking. But occasionally I’m BOUNCED out of bookworld by mispronunciation. Today’s one is “berrybond”. That’s NOT how to pronounce “beribboned”, and nit even the divine Welsh accent will save you.

It’s very Lady Catherine de Bourgh, isn’t it? I mean “ If I had ever learnt [to play an instrument], I should have been a great proficient.”.

Lovely. Now do Israel. Or do we only do sanctions when white people are being hailed?

CC probably should have led with this, it would have saved us 7 debates with the same questions being asked over & over 😂

We look to the presidency for, if not inspiration, exactly, then at least not active negativity. Humphreys' ill-humoured campaign has been a disaster; like a hated Sunday visit from a cranky relative who thinks your couch is uncomfortable and your tea is weak.

A letter from war torn Portland Oregon, truly heartbreaking. Please pass along so others across the world can see how bad it is🤭

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical adventures. These soon multiplied. Significantly.

After much nagging, he has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series:

“False smear”: not at the time, no. But the answer elicited “yes I represented banks” has been referenced without comment or context in at least two of the podcasts I listen to from @irishtimes.com and @rte.ie. It’s kind of icky. And I’d rather not be on the side of ick.

Trying to listen to the Norse Legends from @goingmedieval.bsky.social but it’s some guy with a dramatic faux Scandi accent. It’s like an Ikea advert, but with stirring music. It’s AWFUL.

Wonder would the parent company will bring out a series on Ancient China with a Hong Kong Phooey accent.

And he’s probably the only gay man who’s never watched Sex and the City (hint: we’re not doing our embroidery while waiting for Mr Right), and really? A feminist movement in AFGHANISTAN???

And the people who come up to him after meetings: Do they have tears in their eyes and say “Sir”?

@hlinehan.bsky.social Well that was a choice. You should have him back when he finishes his next book: “Women! know your place”. Because for sure we’re his next target. He man-washed us out of the sexual revolution (who does he think the pill, abortion, and equal workplace rights benefited?)

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
