i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Oh Frank 💔 I've loved Rocky Horror for over 20 years - Tim Curry played some absolutely iconic roles. RIP. #TimCurry #FrankNFurter #RockyHorror

Only did well in my A-Levels because my family was 'going through some stuff' so I revised as a coping mechanism/trauma response. Don't recommend it if I'm honest. Did better than anyone predicted and... have never needed them. Good luck today's cohort...life takes all sorts of twists, you'll be ok!

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.
A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.

We say goodbye to my neighbour Olwen today. Well into her 90s she was an absolute star. Never missed an opportunity to remind me I didn't like housework - always loved a chat. My favourite of her quotes when I had been away... " I thought she might leave Tim, but she'd never leave the cat" RIP 💔

Banning trans people from public toilets has never and will never be about protecting women. Men can walk into most public toilets any time they like 👇 women are attacked in broad daylight all the time. Men have never needed to bluff their way into the ladies lav to commit crimes...

Last week the posy I brought home from the garden had a chrysalis attached though I didn't notice till I got home. If you, like me, haven't watched a butterfly emerge you won't be prepared for how amazing or how long emergence takes #TinyJoys a 🧵

If you can’t resist picking up a pebble or a perfect shell at the beach this photo is for you. There are 7 scallops (the shell Botticelli’s Venus was standing in) to find among the treasure:

Late July garden floral palette. Our brains evolved to look at plants carefully every day while foraging & become more relaxed while doing so due to the presence of good snacks & medicine. This photo is for those ancient pathways that still exist among your neurons🌿🧠:
