I know i share my Ls a lot but jfc normally I am good at cooking potatoes but you'd be forgiven for not believing me since this will be the third Event where a normally fail proof recipe has somehow gone horribly wrong. At least today has reached "merely Okay" vs inedible but 💀💀💀

My scholarly monograph on Roman sex workers and matrons has sold more than twice as many copies as Nuzzi's book.
I love when a big, super-hyped book sells 1,200 copies. Every indie title I've ever been involved with has sold more than that.
“American Canto,” one of the most hyped political books of the year, flopped in bookstores.

I’m sorry, I know it’s supposed to be a very serious and good movie but I can’t read “Hamnet” without picturing a “Muppet Show” parody of “Dragnet” where all the characters are pigs.

Another #painting "Mellows Bridge II". Because of Arran Quay with the church of St Paul and the Bank of Ireland building. And the Four Courts dome. And I still like what used to be our Central Bank. But Mellows bridge is really what this painting is about. I think it’s a beauty. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

4️⃣ If the point is to “delay access” NZ needs real investment in digital literacy.
This means a wide, well-funded education campaign for parents and communities (not just pamphlets or websites)
Think SmokeFree NZ in the 2000s.

3️⃣ A ban blocks access. It does not address harm.
Online harm comes from platform design, governance failures, and adult misuse.
An isolated ban will not change platform behaviour.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

Yo, if you’re wondering what you can do to support people in Minneapolis right now, this is a place to start. Unidos MN helped run the legal observer training months ago, they’re legit and doing so much good.
