That's exactly my take.

Oh no! Thank goodness Leo finished it off; dispatching mortally wounded creatures was my least favourite thing about having outdoor cats.

That could have been dinner. They're just being good providers.

Yeah, I read it a while ago, and it was OK, but it certainly didn't grip me. It was one of those I kept reading to see what all the fuss was about, but ultimately wished I hadn't bothered.

Greetings from Kyiv.

I came to the railway station to visit an exhibition β€” and instead saw this:
a concert by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

Wow. I want you to hear this.

Bigots gonna bigot. Transphobia really is a gateway drug.

The psycholgy of it all is fascinating. I thought the celebrity (UK) version would be different, as they're certainly used to playing games, as well as to people lying to them. But if anything, it was worse!

Casting call! Looking for a woman voice actor, 50+ who is versatile and a vocal chameleon / can play many different bit parts in an audio comedy.

We’re recording in London on 13th & 14th April. This is a paid opportunity. Actor does not need to be autistic!

Yeah, I tried reading it at university, and it was turgid crap. I gave up after 100 pages.

Excellent. Clearly Arthur knows when you need more rest.

Agreed. Their comms have been disastrous.

This does look interesting, but are we just seeing the girls' perspective, or will we see Aunt Lydia's too?

I've never seen a skykark as anything other than a tiny speck, so that's pretty brilliant, tbh.

It's an awful time, James. Vent all you need to. I agree that now isn't the best time for making big decisions about where you want to be, but it seems clear that you need to get out of there. Any chance you could take a break away, maybe to your family? Sending a hug πŸ«‚

Everyone talks about how Derek Meddings was a fantastic miniature model maker, but in reality, he was just a very, very large man.

This delivery driver throws treats to all the dogs on his route to see if they can catch. Spoiler alert: some of them definitely cannot. Still 13/10 for all (TT: jezzyvi)
