Assuming Adrian is a man then a sexist, chauvinistic, patriarchal culture in the Freemasons seems to be undiminished by their association with women’s orders.

“Commenting on behalf of the Order of Women Freemasons, Adrian Marsh said: ‘We see…’”

After Stephen Yakult-Lemon’s mush was recently seen in the form of some colouring-in on an arm, this evening it appeared in my tea. If nothing else it confirms my atheism.

A mini tribute to the very much missed @janeygodley.bsky.social on this week’s Have I Got A Bit More News For You. I don’t think I’m misinterpreting the expression #SuePerkins showed if I suggest it was humour presented with sincere warmth & respect for Janey.

Today's #Archive30 is #ArchiveAnimals, so time for a short 🧵 on Trade Union Cats...

This 1967 cover star of the USDAW magazine 'New Dawn' outshone the Prime Minister, whose new year's message was relegated to inside pages. The floof was captioned "...after the night before" for unexplained reasons
Front cover of 'The New Dawn', journal of the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers, January 1967. The cover photo is of a long haired floofy cat sprawled on the floor. The floof has been photographed simultaneously chewing and biffing a long piece of ribbon. Inside page of 'The New Dawn', January 1967. It features the new year message of Harold Wilson, then the Prime Minister, with the title '1967 - a chance to move forward towards the New Britain'. A photo of Wilson looking straight at the camera whilst holding a pipe is in the top right corner. Extract from inside page of the January 1967 edition of New Dawn. The only explanation for the cat-themed cover photo is the credit: "Our cover photograph "... after the night before"

I wonder if the clock on St Catherine’s church tower in #Montacute, Somerset was designed by Salvador #Dalí.

Metal clock face on stone church tower has leached residues of various colours, staining the wall below and giving the superficial appearance of it having melted.

A photo of a toad sat in the sunshine on sandy ground by some grasses. The caption accompanying the picture’s original publication on the BBC News website read as follows: “Sharon Clark, from Lauder, came across this "beauty" while walking by the River Teviot in the Borders”

I’ve been a sanctimonious Mac head for several decades now and here is a perfect example of why: in relative terms at least, Apple products simply work. Properly. Correctly. Accurately.

#Barnsbury Street, #Islington #London this evening.

What Libby did with it for her 20th I dread to think though he doesn’t look too distressed by it all considering the state he’s in.
An approximately 50cm tall action figure-type doll stood leaning against a lamppost on a damp pavement at night, illuminated by the streetlight above. The figure is a shaven headed male, has a painted on dark goatee, is muscled, and is naked apart from black Y-fronts & knee supports. It is missing both hands and lower legs & feet have been cut-off mid-way down the shins. The arms are articulated at the shoulder. Written across the chest of the doll is ‘Happy 20th Libby’.

From this week’s PopBitch 💦
>> Big Questions << Who's asking what this week? Which West End singing star made it her unlikely mission to have sex with her gay musical director? Alas, her question about what she could do "convert" him was met with the following reply, "Love, my greatest turn on is getting leather queens to piss on me. Good luck with that."
