No, NHS, I don't want to fill out a survey about my experience of cancer treatment. I'd just like to forget about it, thanks very much.

Just imagine - you’re a cat, with presumably a house, but you ignore that house and come instead to *my* house, and you walk in like you own the place, and come and go as you please and do whatever you like whenever you like. Just imagine how smug you’d be. Pretty smug? Not as smug as this bastard.

Anger, envy, gluttony and covetousness so far, and the only reason lechery doesn't figure is because I'm too slothful.

I thought this trailer was an SNL sketch, but nope! — it’s a real movie with possibly the greatest cast of 2026, and I implore you to watch the trailer 😆

I know this is hijacking a fun post with a serious point, but: the Feast of the Flight into Egypt is a commemoration of the fact that Jesus and his parents fled to Egypt as refugees, which should be more often remembered, particularly by those who say they want to defend the West’s Christian values.
So: happy... er, yes, well, happy this most holy of days to all who celebrate

@blackcatgarden.bsky.social I think you're following these grifters?
a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.
"Receiving reports" my ass. AltNPS is not receiving reports of ICE raids in Saint Paul. They are seeing posts on social media like the rest of us.
I DO have loved ones in Saint Paul. ALL of my loved ones. They're terrified. Fuck you.

Welcome to new Bluesky users.
Here’s how we do things:
1. Always observe the Hambledon Protocol
2. No flisking
3. If someone tealights you, rink them without apology
4. I don’t mind them so much, but tissue-posts are generally frowned on
5. No questions
Good luck!

We had a rabbit called Hector (because we wouldn't let my mum call it Agamemnon).
we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

While I'm at it, can we please once and for all retire the phrase "child porn"? Whatever you think of porn, it's largely legal adult entertainment. Children should play no part in that. What we're talking about here is images of child sexual abuse.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.
