In another life, I am an erudite, fascinating, witty, sexy libertine. As it stands, I am mainly a disappointment. Occasional pots. He/Him.

Anyway people who used to follow me on Twitter are showing up here and to catch you up I do pottery now, that’s it, that’s what you missed

Thing is if teachers want the 6-7 trend to disappear, nothing would do it quicker than kids everywhere knowing that Keir Starmer does it.

More evidence for Maugham's First Law. bsky.app/profile/good...
Even Hilary Cass - who disgracefully called parents terrified that their trans kids would take their own lives if they were denied healthcare "shroud wavers" - didn't go so far as to call for a ban on puberty blockers.

Nothing Wes Streeting says turns out to be true.

There was a brief but weird trend at my high school of girls wearing lizards as earrings. Like. Live, unharmed, wild lizards. You just catch one and pick it up and wave a finger a bit and then hold it to your earlobe and they’ll bite and dangle all day. I do not recommend this but. it was a thing
The alligator lizard promptly bit the shit out of my finger.

Have I ever listened to Hey Jude by The Beatles? Absolutely not. It's addressed to Jude, not me. What about Annie's Song by John Denver? Nope. Not my song so none of my business. Everyone should treat the private communications of musicians with the same level of respect as I do.
