@panchoballard.bsky.social I've just bought some stickers but don't feel you need to rush out to post them. I'm happy to wait.

@annkempster.com As if you needed enabling!
me: Nutrition research is often quite lacking in its methods but at the same time the world leader in meme virality, by regularly uncovering things we want to be true to feel better about the food identity we have developed.

also me: this study must be true.

At a village event about 10 years ago my husband went to collect two pizzas and was asked whether it was for a man or a woman. Turns out the pizzas for women were being cut into 8 pieces, rather than 6. We still describe pizzas as being for a man or woman even now. (And it's *fewer* calories).

@grindrod.bsky.social I hope you've got one of these.
For #MKMonday we thought we'd share this wonderful mug! While not technically part of our collection, it has pride of place in the archive kitchen. None of us know who brought it in but it's become the default mug for new staff.

I was convinced the surprise guest at Inside No 9 tonight was going to be Louis Theroux, having seen him outside, but it was only blooming Jonathan Ross.

Samir Zitouni, a British Brown man and train operator, put his life on the line in order to save passengers from a knife attacker. He remains in hospital.
You won't hear the institutional racists in media and politics recognise or commend him. Facts that don't fit the narrative dont work for them.
“To us – he’s always been a hero”

Recognising the incredible bravery of Sam
