Nigella Lawson taking big bites is exactly why I enjoy seeing her on TV so much. I do not wish to see any "Nigella is scared of spoons" discourse 😂

Watching Bake Off again because my love for Nigella overrides my hatred of Paul and Noel. Fave moment so far "the fear of the unmoulding grips one". It surely does Nige, it surely does.

Watching your dog get older is so painful. What do you mean that's my tiny puppy baby that I brought home in a cardboard box? Now she's tucked up on the sofa under a blanket because she has arthritis. That's my puppy grandma I guess, grumpy little baby dog 🥹

Our neighbour has a motorbike that sounds like a chinook is taking off from their garden whenever they ride it. That does not sound good for the motorbike. Is the motorbike hurt? Should we call the RSPCMotorbikes?

Going to a swimming party for a 6 year old. Most of them can't swim well enough or are not tall enough to go in alone. Diabolical.

My child isn't autistic but: She is watching one of only two snake documentaries she likes, in the shirt she wore to her friend's house last time so she needs to wear it again, with a timer for going out. I need to put her socks on so there's "no lumps only smooth". But sure. She's not autistic.

A post from Laura Matsue that reads: since AI is making everyone sound more generic and NPC, I recommend becoming the most unhinged version of you, to counterbalance. Write like a crazy person who hasn't interacted with humanity in years. Break any and all of the rules. Live like a mad, drunk poet. Now is your time to channel the weirdest version of you.

Parents at Kiddo's school keep saying things to me like "well, we both have to work so it's different" & "well, I work full time so could you.." Fascinated to know how they think we afford a house & cars. Which one of us do they think works? What do they think we do?

The idea of not being able to contact someone for an extended period of time feels profoundly unnatural and yet nothing could be more natural. What's unnatural is having a device in your pocket that connects you to the entire fucking world 24/7 and serves up content specifically chosen to upset you

A reminder that the UK Government continues to support the Iran war through the use of our bases to launch strikes. A serious attempt to end Rip off Britain would mean withdrawing our support for Trump's war immediately.

This is an appalling lack of judgement and the surest sign yet that Britain will continue to be Trump's lackey. The war in Iran has cost countless lives, and breached international law - yet we continue to support it. Very, very concerning. Very, very continuity Starmer.
