Is FAR TOO focused on US/UK shows, but it's a bit of fun. What have i seen? 1, 3, 4, currently watching 8, 12, 15, 20, 22, currently watching 26, 27, 34, 40, 45, 50, 53, 60, 63, most of 67, 68, 72, 74, 85, 88, 97, 98. I'd get outside more, but I have a newborn that demands feeding at all hours.

Urgently looking for a parking space for the Hell Bus, Ideally somewhere near Bristol / Swindon (where its drivers live) I can pay but obviously looking to keep costs as low as possible since the bus already costs a fortune to simply exist every year.

It's desperately sad reading the NYT and National Post articles about Bob Munsch. Like many Canadians, not only did I grow up with his books but I got to hear him tell stories live. Go hug your families, and read one of his books to your kids.

🧵 about #alevels, #results and exams in the UK. My mum was working class, went to the type of secondary school where girls were encouraged to leave at 16 to train as secretaries. They saw her as the 'wrong sort', and made her do CSEs and barred her from O Levels. She fought and lost. 1/

Are you a black Scot? (either a native Scot or settled Scot) Or do you have friends who are black scots? One of my phd students is doing research on black Scottish experiences and would love to interview you. If you're interested, could you drop me a message and I'll get some information to you.

Apr 25th - The perfect date, it's not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket. 📽️📅 Miss Congeniality (2000)
2 Screenshots from the movie "Miss Congeniality" (2000): First, a beauty pageant host in a red blazer holds a microphone and stands beside a contestant wearing a sash labeled "RHODE ISLAND" among other contestants lined up behind her, with the subtitle "Describe your perfect date." Second, a close-up of the same host and the smiling contestant as she responds, with the subtitle "That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket."
