CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED, dribble various weirdos, as they celebrate Christmas in their own, presumably miserable fashion 🤣

Title panel: The Art of Christmas Party Conversation - by ANGEL. [Scene is a SILENT, STARRY HILLSIDE in Biblical times. Three shepherds are having a quiet chat as their sheep calmly chew the grass. This scene repeats unchanged apart from the gentle movements of the Shepherds chatting, for several panels. Then suddenly a MASSIVE, CHEESY, WHITE-TOOTHED ANGEL appears above them saying "HELLLOOOO"] ANGEL: HELLLOOOO SHEPHERS: ARGH ANGEL [Talking 'to camera]: Christmas is such a social time - here's some top tips for making sparkling conversation! 1. Use body language to convey approachability. [The giant angel, hovering in the air, cheerfully flaps his massive wings at the terrified shepherds] FLAP FLAP FLAP 2. Start with a gentle icebreaker to put people at ease [The giant angel looms over the terrified shepherds bellowing]: DO NOT BE AFRAAAAAID 3. Avoid 'Angelsplaining': Always introduce topics of conversation by asking interested, open questions. [The Angel shoves his massive, cheery face into the terrified Shepherds' personal space and bellows]: SEEN ANY GOOD BABIES LATELY? 4. If there's a lull in the conversation, try summoning the Company of the Heavenly Host. [The bAngel summons thousands more angels, filling the sky with sublime, terrifying fire as they all sing]: GLOOOOORY TO GOD [The Heavenly Host all disappear. There is an awkward silent pause, the Shepherds now cowering on the floor, quietly weeping.] ANGEL: So do you like sheep? SHEPHERDS: *sob* [Ends]

Kind of the BBC to add the detail:

"The King - standing on the left -"

I mean, if you don't know that...

Nice thread here from @dsmig.bsky.social, summarising an entire day's learning, curated by some guy you may well know

If you have patients with Down Syndrome - you should join DSMIG. It's £30/yr and you once spent that on fancy shampoo

You’ll Be OK
"I'm havin a breakdown," says one crudely-drawn stick figure to another. "You'll be OK," says the second. The first stick figure exclaims, "AGGHHH", and collapses. His head and outstretched arms and legs spell out the letters O-K.

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...
This update includes information you may find upsetting. Please take care when reading. From today, it is with a heavy heart that we announce trans girls will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community. There will be no immediate changes for current young members, but more information will be shared soon. Most adult roles - including unit helpers, district helpers and administrative support - are already open to all, so we are confident that no volunteers will have to leave the organisation. Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups. Over the next few months, we will explore opportunities to champion this value and actively support young people who need us. We stand in solidarity with trans girls and women.

Not sure how l feel about this. Clearly unwanted chemicals in the body = not great, but there are some dubious parts in this article:

I just can't imagine booing - even complaining about - your team the same calendar year they won a major title. If my team ever became league champions I'd spend the next 30 years like Scrooge when he has his epiphany, donates to charity, buys the big turkey etc.
