Stretched too far to scratch an itch, and my back seized up. AND I didn't reach the itch. I hate being old.

When you’re putting on a dance routine with little kids (age 3-5), it’s important to make sure you’ve got the right mix of roles.
First up: 4-6 enthusiastic kids that sort of paid attention in rehearsal. These make it so the audience has a vague outline of what someone imagined would happen.

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.
Eurovision has allowed Israel to compete in 2026.
Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, and the Netherlands have pulled out of the competition following the decision.

Cis women need to step up and ensure that any women’s groups they attend are inclusive, if they aren’t boycott them.
I refuse to access any women’s space that doesn’t include trans women. We are all women when you discriminate against one of us you make us more vulnerable as a group. We stand as 1.

One of my friends has been feeding a cat on her street that was abandoned when her owners moved. My friend would take her in, but her own cat is very territorial. I can't stop wondering whether Wimsey and Bunter could possibly be persuaded to accept a big sister.

it's Ofcom so the major social media platform they'll kick off with could easily be myspace
NEW: Ofcom has launched a new investigation into whether social media platforms are doing enough to identify and remove illegal terror and hate content
It will start with a detailed review of one major platform before extending to others

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

This year we're doing Whamutopia. Every time you hear Last Christmas you have to have a mulled wine at your earliest convenience and toast George Michael, because he was a lad

I'm so old. Went to the pub at 3pm for afternoon tea (sliders, corn dog, scone, cake pop, pie, bottle of prosecco) and home, drunk, by 7pm and about to collapse into bed with my electric blanket.

Shout out to Bunter for developing a revolting, oozy eye on payday. If he has to empty my bank account, at least he did it on a day when there was some money in there.

Bunter always comes creeping up, almost too shy to ask for cuddles, and two minutes later he has one paw stuck up my nose and is trying to wriggle inside my skin. Meanwhile Wimsey bounces up demanding affection, then tells me off for not providing exactly the right kind of affection and stalks off.

I've just had to buy a new phone, and I resent it. Just because my phone is 'getting worryingly hot while charging' and 'the battery only lasts a few hours'. Bah. Technology sucks.
