I really hate it when delivery services say they attempted delivery when I’ve been home all day. Just be honest and say you can’t be arsed today and “might” try again tomorrow….

Word of the day is a favourite for this time of year. To be ‘crambazzled’, in old Yorkshire dialect, is to be prematurely aged by excess drinking or partying.

While we are on the general topic of gifts I would like to know what age you were when socks went from "worst gift ever" to "actually this is a really useful and thoughtful gift"
Early 40s for me, and would have been earlier if I had bought into all the anti-socks-as-a-gift propaganda

It’s the time of year for mentioning one of my favourite ‘untranslatables’.
‘Poronkusema’, in Finnish, once denoted a distance of around 7.5km, which is roughly how long a reindeer can last before needing to urinate. ‘Poronkusema’ means ‘reindeer pee’.

For anyone working in adolescent mental health: I *really* recommend reading this important paper about the most commonly used questionnaires (inc SDQ)
In short: most of them have poor psychometric properties, so do we even know what they are measuring?

I share a lot of dogs we save and re-home but this is my very own dog, Hank the Tank.
He had a very hard start in life and some serious issues. When I found him he was on the way out.
His turnaround has been beautiful to watch… (1/10) 🧵

I can’t recall if I shared this on #Bluesky yet. But with the increase of users, I figured why not.
Here is a one-page comic that I wrote earlier this year and my wife, @francescafantini.bsky.social, illustrated.
It is called “Dog Time.”
Enjoy!

Big Mac, Leo, Hank the Tank, Pedro and myself would like to wish you a very happy weekend.
They’ve all been sick or faced tough time like myself but bounced back.
Just remember you can always be down in life but you are never out 🥰🙏
