You can be on the side of Rowling, Putin and Trump, or you can be on the side of, you know, normal cool people.

Kept seeing posts saying 'take your turkey out the freezer now.' It took me a second to realise they weren't talking about a massive turkey that took a month to defrost...

My son got me a jigsaw for my birthday back in June... finally got round to doing it and bought one of those boards that you can pack jigsaws on so they aren't in the way... I'm now officially an old lady who does jigsaws 😁

I'm at that age where I can't remember anything anymore so have bought a wipeable shopping list to stick in the fridge. I have 2 sons.... place your bets now as to how long it takes for a penis to appear on my shopping list 🙃

Hugely powerful words. Do take a couple of minutes to watch.

The world is a bleaker place without Jane Goodall; may her message live on.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I'm going to have to refer to him as Biff now, but want to make sure Kelly's 12 year old gets the credit! 😂 #strictly

This thread is really worth a read.

Over on the Other Place I would occasionally put this thread together, most recently during lockdown, four years ago in fact, and I realised I'd not done it here. So, bear with, and feel free to mute as this is an epic (genuinely, I’m not sure we won’t reach hitherto non-invoked thread limits tbh).

Shocked, SHOCKED that the paper that brought you the Furries In Schools moral panic that turned out to be a lie, and the 'Me & my family who are all called Al can only take 6 holidays because of private school fees' story that was completely made up might have published a lie

I wrote to M&S about the stupid lingerie department story - confirms nobody offered a bra fitting to a teenage girl. The Telegraph and JK can (always) do one.
Screenshot of an email: Hi Rachel, Thank you for contacting us about the article you’ve seen. We want our stores to be inclusive and welcoming places for our colleagues and customers. We have written to this customer and explained that our colleagues typically work across all departments in our stores and customers can always ask to speak to the colleague they feel most comfortable with. We also explained that our colleague was asking a customer if they needed help; they were not working on bra fit or offering this. Thank you again for getting in touch.

Bluesky has decided I'm an adult... what gave it away?? The wrinkles? The squinting at the screen as my eyesight is so bad I couldn't see the blob I was supposed to have my face in to verify it? It shall forever be a mystery...

I might have got a little tiny bit angry in a meeting with a mental health professional for a family member who told me everyone was was a little bit autistic and they can cure anxiety by repeatedly exposing him to what makes him anxious #autism #pda

My first collab pin!
Stevie’s Safe Spaces & I both went viral when David Tennant wore our designs, so pin badge producers Made By Cooper asked us to fuse our designs to create these LIMITED EDITION SAFE SPACE pins. I’ll donate all profit to @aktcharity.bsky.social

As a student I rented a room in my tutors house, Charlie Burchill was our neighbour #LiveAid (I never saw him but reliably informed he lived there..)
