Just to make it very clear where I stand—I am a huge fan of vaccination, it has saved literally millions of lives and is a force for great good in this world
I’m currently in a vaccine trial and volunteer with vaccine involvement work (ask me about involvement!)

An outfit a day, November 15th
My beloved spouse went shopping and upon his return:
“He said that Christmas was a humbug, as I live!”
Hahahaha!
It’s Christmas lights switch on today in town so I am appropriately dressed…

We watched Frankenstein—I read the book* (memorably) one weird incredibly hot summer largely sitting in graveyards aged about 19 and accept it as an interpretation…
It’s a beautiful film—and I forgive the wolves—though it could have done with more hammers?

Just write out "fucked", for goodness sake.
The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS.
But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic
We desperately need a properly functioning BBC and properly functioning NHS
DEFEND THEM!

I do love xkcd but this cartoon seems to overlook measuring spoons and ALSO my actual spoon collection which is extremely varied

![The xkcd cartoon: transcript from explain xkcd
[Close up shot of Cueball's head and neck. Cueball is facing the left and has his arm raised.]
Cueball: Some people like to be the big spoon.
[Cueball's face and neck are still the only elements visible. Cueball is facing the right now and has lowered his hand.]
Cueball: Some people like to be the little spoon.
[A big spoon sitting atop a little spoon and a little spoon sitting atop a big spoon are depicted.]
And some brave truth-tellers point out that the metaphor makes no sense because different-sized spoons don't nest right either way. You nest same-sized spoons.
[Cueball is lying alone on a couch.]
Cueball: ...and apparently we sleep on the couch.
[Voice from outside the panel:]
Voice: Why are you still going on about the spoon thing?
Cueball: Because I'm right!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dcug5hr3622ym4zaueassqao/bafkreiakihs6bjdlo62ouuojg5oxuu7dfr5nuxhjj4hv5qqllfntfy6zqe@jpeg)

With sheets and blankets and a counterpane over the top…
They looked at me as if I was making it up
“But weren’t you like, pinned to the bed?”
“Didn’t it take ages to make every day?”
