@jaxrafferty @neilhimself either will work. I hadn’t read it for a very long time and opted not to read again so it would be fresher to me but my friend’s son knew it backwards and was equally delighted
I had my home.social address on the bird site. Went to change wording in my bio and was unable to save it as Twitter decided it contained malware.

Had to pick a parcel up from the Post Office Sorting Office. Guy serving me remembered my Dad and mentioned him (we have the same name) 😭 ❤️

It's over 10 years since Dad died and I *love* it when people still speak of him, its the best feeling, like he lives on (I mean he does in his kids but you know what I mean).

Commiserated him on how busy he is ahead of two days striking, but totally supportive of them 👊

Listen. I’m as surprised as you are that a private equity firm based in the Caymans is the de facto owner of the new Cumbria coalmine.

The UK regime would make African Dictators blush.

No-one got everything right during the pandemic, but Fauci, communicated well - often having to work in incredibly pressing circumstances with incredibly difficult people.

Given all that he did a pretty good job.

This sort of demonisation of scientist is disgusting.

The worst is yet to come, 31st Dec REUL Bill sunsets 4000 EU laws in 1 fell swoop, no country has ever done this in world history. Employment rights, food safety, environmental laws, all protections abolished, transition phase mean corporate fascism for UK. Like watching a motorway pile up in slow motion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQkmdLCVMJ4

Morning all, this is as close to a #frostodon contribution as I can make, it’s a cold one out there #sunrise #torquay

Not sure what my weekend holds but definitely some #knitting and maybe some #sewing too, and maybe some hiding on the sofa under my puff quilt to avoid putting the heating on for too long #brrrrr
