The dog just wagged her tail in her sleep. Today is a go for the dreams you’ve been putting off, people.

The baby turns out to be a very early teether. Slightly too young to understand all the nifty teething tools there are, only old enough to know it hurts. Poor little fractious mite.

Middle aged white guy in the queue at the pool wondering why the rules applied to him.

Rod Liddle called his ex-wife a “slut and a slattern” in print before marrying a 22-year old Spectator receptionist who he was cautioned by the police after assaulting her when she was 20 weeks pregnant. But he was anti-trans, so these “protectors of women” overlook everything.

But it’ll totally work in England!!!

Billionaires threaten your life and safety on a daily basis far more - and far more seriously - than any trans person could ever hope to. I wonder why it’s billionaires leading the anti-trans charge…? 🤔

And my goodness, there are some simperingly terrible baby books out there. If you’re going to yammer on about love and rainbows, at least make the lines scan.

Boy, for a board book “The Snail and the Whale” is epic. The Infinite Jest of board books.

I am hardly ever rude to people. All bets are off about being rude *back* however…

Queer lit fests, you do know I’m a big flaming gay, right? The polo shirts are just drag.

My baby daughter was inconsolable for twenty mysterious minutes of crying and has now slept on my chest for the last hour. I have acted similarly on dates.

Ye gods, I am only a year and a half younger than Gianni Infantino. Giving out fake peace prizes to tyrants ages you.

I saw it so often as a kid that I could very nearly do the whole thing verbatim. Someone once said to me, “That’s your Edinburgh Fringe show!”

As someone with OCD, I find apps with streaks really hard to deal with. I had to forcibly break a 1,000 day streak on the New York Times Crossword puzzle because it was feeling like a prison. Don’t get me started on Duolingo. For someone with OCD, Duolingo is a nasty bully.

What is with Kentucky and its senators? Yikes.

Best Doctor Who podcasts? Best ones that liked Class? Love to hear which ones fans properly listen to.

I liked the Odyssey movie. It was never boring and often quite beautiful. It wasn’t particularly surprising - which in itself is a bit of a surprise - but as testament to hand-made art, I’m good with it.

Buying a book is a completely different pastime to reading a book.
