See I just go with shouting at the dog. Yours is better.
I’m incredibly angry today, so I’ve chosen a massive pain in the arse cake to make.
It will look like this when it’s ready though, so I hope it’s worth it.

growing up Catholic means not being allowed to watch “Dirty Dancing” because your mom thought it was Too Adult but being fluent in Roman torture methods thanks to the Children’s Book of Saints you got for your First Communion
St. Lucy'd day today, this is a surprisingly big deal in scandinavia.
my favourite fact:
St. Lucy tore her eyes out to avoid marrying a pagan 🙄. so we serve buns that are ... referencing and mimicing torn out eyes.
bon appétit

Dude, numbers 2 and 3 are beautiful, but I have no idea how to reconcile them with 1 and 4.

RIP Shane, one of the few actual antiheroes and most brilliant counterpost to the new wave hairspray synth 80s pop. Billy Bragg *wishes* he had an ounce of his integrity
People are talking about immigration, emigration and the rest of the fucking thing. It's all fucking crap. We're all human beings, we're all mammals, we're all rocks, plants, rivers. Fucking borders are just such a pain in the fucking arse.

I realise in the great scheme of #disability and #chronicillness annoyances this is minor, but one of the symptoms of #Fibromyalgia for me was that I was always hot so I have invested in bamboo sheets etc. Now post surgery I am constantly freezing. Minor stuff but it's all energy sapping

It's possible I have unreasonable expectations of the grown-up-ness of my leaders, but I would have thought now would be a good time for the UK to have allies in the Eastern Mediterranean #Greece #ElginMarbles #IsraelPalestine

Am increasingly getting requests to send references I’m writing to the candidate so they can include it with their application. I know it cuts down admin but it’s awful. References are already degraded. How can anyone possibly take seriously a reference that is so open?
