I keep forgetting to look here but this sort of thing reminds me why I do. I will be singing "I've felt the pain from the paprika" every time now.

Our hardworking MPs are on holiday & don't want to think about the #ClimateEmergency So, instead of screaming in their faces, which would be rude, I'll send postcards. Use my little ditties or write your own: No new oil The sun has baked the soil You've gone away on holiday And left us all to boil

Just so freakin' angry that so few people get to choose for ourselves what our bodies are like, especially when what gets in the way isn't what's physically possible, but rather how other people (individually or as a society or anything in between) just won't allow it.

I remember, now that I'm looking at BlueSky more often, that I was following a rule of "don't post a negative thing without posting a positive thing". I think that's a good rule, whatever happens. Anyway, I got a new harmonica in the post today. Whether that is negative or positive is up to you.

So, a joke MP with 5 houses bought for cash, links to criminality and a £5Mill ‘gift’ in his bank… is so enraged at being held to account… that he resigns from the MP role he never did anyway…and demands a “people v the establishment” by-election to vote him back in. What an insufferable wanker.

Incidentally, I didn't realise until a couple of weeks ago how many things I'd rather be doing that working on a draft of a REF impact case. If that means nothing to you, lucky you. I'm on the point of standing for election in Clacton.

I've just caught the end of a game of football and it seemed such a waste of time. This world cup would be so much quicker if we just asked AI to tell us who wins. What's the point? *runs and hides* (I got Scotland in the office sweepstake. I was so confident...)

I think I'll quit my job then immediately apply for it again. That's definitely not a complete waste of time and money and I'm sure nobody will mind. (What? No, just thinking out loud. Not talking about anything else here.) (Seriously, why is this even allowed? Please don't answer that.)

Over on another social network I've been encouraging techie types to indulge in bad art so I thought I'd do it here too. One of my favourite hobbies these days is making bad art. It's how I remember I'm human. Remember you're human, whatever else life makes you do.

It’s beyond me that a country so smugly obsessed with its own rightness, so pleased with its system that many of its serious thinkers have believed, unironically, that its existence is a gift from God to the world, can have the top of its judicial & executive branches openly hate its constitution.

Zero tolerance for doomerism. Stop lazily accepting that everything is screwed forever. Stop normalising low expectations. That’s part of the problem & it’s what the bastards want. It’s also a product of privilege. People in more desperate situations don’t have the option to just sit back & shrug.

I remember being creative as a kid until one day it was bashed out of me. Learn to be creative again. Make some bad art every day. Just take 5 minutes over it. One day it might be good art, but even if never is, you are practising being human. Get good at being human again. We all need you.

Today I discovered, quite by accident, that if I have to interact with too many people in a day then deciding which Muppet would play them is a good strategy. I definitely met Bunsen and Scooter and possibly a Swedish Chef. Thankfully no Statler and Waldorf. I wish to be played by Kermit please.

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

The equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington in Glasgow. Usually he has a traffic cone on his head but today it's a pigeon reading a newspaper.

The pigeon, naturally, has a cone on its head.
