I’m absolutely crying with big tears about these bastards on Highland Cops taking Derek the Pine marten away from the guy who rescued him as a baby and reared him. Assholes! Poor guy gets knicked and has his heart broken. Derek taken away from the only father he knows. ACAB indeed. Wankers.

Tainted Love was the first music I ever bought. I still adore it. My kids know all the words, and I love that they will always think of me when they hear it.
On this day in 1981, #SoftCell released their debut studio album, "Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret".
The album's success was bolstered by the popularity of the cover version of #GloriaJones song "Tainted Love", which topped the charts worldwide and became the second best-selling British single of 1981.

I’ve spent hours today (whilst on holiday, baking in the sun) checking out how insects see flowers and cursing myself for not bringing any paints with me.

Really bizarre meeting people in the wild who are completely unaware of history. How could you know nothing about Europeans screwing up Egypt for centuries? Even bloody Asterix has a book about it!!

I love being on holiday. Mainly because I have the time to read all day, and there’s no housework.

Gender is a spectrum from just wanting have fun to being back in town, and to varying degrees, each of us contains attributes of both, which is a beautiful thing

You’re only allowed to rage about Krampus if you have unaddressed trauma from him sticking your baby brother in a sack and then running off with him. IYKYK

I try not to get too depressed about the current state of everything. It’s so damn hard. This excellent piece vocalises how I feel; I could not write this well ever, sadly. But yes, things are shit, and I just can’t anymore.
this week's newsletter is titled "aren't you tired of feeling insane all the time?" and I think it speaks for itself

I love it for me that my favourite drugs (Day Nurse, Night Nurse, nicotine, propranolol) are legal.
In other news, having a bad head cold/raging anxiety day today.

Me at 3am: why am I not sleeping
Me at 6am: oh. I took my daytime meds last night not my nighttime ones
Today I have to travel, and that will be fun as I’m now exhausted and missing all the chemicals that allow me to be around people without hissing constantly.

As a knitter, I loved watching this. I’ve become better at ‘reading’ yarn over the years, and learning how different ways of treating the wool will affect the work.
enjoyable little video on how wool gets graded and sorted

Going to attempt to do legal stuff while in a post steak frites coma. Best one I’ve had in decades, the steak that is. But shortly I will be closer to owning my little corner of France. Still can’t believe it’s happening.

My journey today was fraught. As we were about to land the plane pulled up sharply. I’m a frequent flyer and I’ve never experienced anything like it. Turns out the runway still had a plane on it! Then there was a bomb scare at the train station.
The delayed train was a boring relief.

One of the things I never properly noticed was just how poor the quality of streaming on Spotify is. At the start of using it, I was just amazed at the choice; now I’m using Qobuz I can hear just how seduced I was by quantity over quality. Everything sounds so good now.

Everything you need to survive should be free - water, medicine, housing, food etc. Everything you need to create a decent life should also be free - education, arts, 3rd spaces etc. These are the things our taxes should provide.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

There’s a very large, very loud fly in the flat. The cats are obviously beside themselves; being indoor cats, anything new and living is MUCH EXCITE. Chances of a swift kill are close to zero, as these ‘apex killers’ are, well, not. I’m not going to get much sleep.

Or you can do what I do and refuse to re-watch that film. Bond is alive and well, as far as I’m concerned. Killing him off was a ridiculous thing to do unless they wanted to end the franchise. (Yes, I’m a major Bond fan, and unapologetic about it).
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

There’s nothing and nobody stopping me from doing all the crazy things in this flat I’m renovating and that makes me incredibly happy. Well, apart from the laws of physics and my bank account. Other than that, I’m free to fuck this shit up with all the damn cushions I want. IYKYK

Exactly! I’m learning new sounds and how to write again. In a different direction too. Give me a break. Or at least a nice mint tea.
Strongly feel that adults learning a new language should be treated like babies doing the same thing. Look, I'm going through a developmental leap this week, so I'm just going to be more cranky, hungrier, cry a lot at night etc.
