Anyone know any good aviation themed podcasts? Asking for my dad who's currently in hospital. It sounds like he's feeling enough better to start getting bored :) (Feel free to re-post for more reach).

This is one of the best books I’ve read this year, and it’s only 99p today! (23 Sept, UK). Buy it now, thank me later. I couldn’t put it down, and when I had to stop reading for things like work, I was still thinking about reading it.

@laurapauthor.bsky.social Laura, my fellow coffee cream lover, look what I found in Asda! They didn’t have these last year, only fruit crèmes. I immediately thought of you ❤️

My most recent show, Late Bloomer is on E4 tonight at 10pm. If you’re outside of the UK, it’s on Netflix. Photo by Matt Crockett Dress by Zuri Hair and make up by Chrissie Baker
It’s the Late Bloomer poster image. Green background and me in a yellow dress with pink books on it. I’m resting one hand under my chin and the other hand under first hand’s elbow. That makes more sense than you think. In Yellow is my name and in white, it says Late Bloomer. Under that, in white: on E4 tonight at 10pm.

Bought a bundle of books on Vinted. Excitedly went to collect, to find it’s someone else’s order… either the seller or the delivery company mixed them up. Now Vinted say I have to pay to return them. So if you use Vinted - be aware they are bugger all help to you if there’s a problem with anything 🤬

Today is Venn Day, in celebration of the mathematician John Venn, born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn Diagram.
Poem title: At the Intersection
 
The poem is divided into two overlapping circles.
 
The left-hand circle is titled ‘me’ and the text reads:
the day we
went out to have
an ice-cream, we said nothing
just let our silence melt in
the air as we walked across the common
our love never tiring at all
 
The right-hand circle is titled ‘you’ and the text reads:
we should
have talked it over but
nothing ever seems to get
in your fat head. You are so
common that I wish we’d never met
at all and I’d married Tim instead
 
In the intersection of the poem (where the two circles overlap), the text reads:
we
have
nothing
in
common
at all

Pls spread word. Three digits can help protect you from scams: 159. If you're suspicious of a 'call from your bank', politely hang up and dial 159. It connects you to a switchboard that puts you through to your bank's real number. Watch the video for why its extra protection

Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23
Telegraph headiline:

"Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.

Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.
Refugees

They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way

(now read from bottom to top)

Very pleased to share with you the result of a recent commission I received from Good Housekeeping magazine to write an erotic poem for its readers.
This is Hardchore
 
Scrub me. Buff me.
Get down on all fours.
Fill me. Stack me.
Rummage through my drawers.
 
Rinse me. Spin me.
Tumble dry my mind.
Press me. Fold me.
Drape me on your line.
 
Grout me. Scour me.
Make my fittings gleam.
Bleach me. Teach me.
Squirt your Mr Sheen.
 
Plump me. Pump me.
Fill my tank with fuel.
Dust me. Suck me
With your crevice tool.
 
Sift me. Sort me.
Crush me with your weight.
Stuff me. Tie me.
Put me out by eight.
