I come bearing news from the world of crafting drama! So a major yarn brand has launched a shameless transphobic wizards tie-in yarn to ~knit your own house scarf~ and it's hilarious because literally nobody likes it.

Noticing the nights drawing in? 🌙 October brings a big shift, with most of the UK losing over 2 hours of daylight this month. Do you enjoy the cosy evenings or miss the longer days?

This is an interesting one because it is so clearly linked to the rise of WPL, but no player is prepared to say the quiet bit out loud ("India run the global game & they shouldn't be able to run roughshod through our summer with their franchise comp, but CA refuses to stand up to them").

#TodayInQueerHistory Oct 5 (1994) Sandi Toksvig is the definition of cosy TV & Radio. After coming out, not just as a lesbian AND a Mum, she was dropped by charities Save the Children and the Children's Society as a host for an event. The Lesbian Avengers protested #OTD & the charities apologised .

Horrible news, but here's an idea: Let's stop chucking massive grants at individual museums so they become economically unsustainable. These grants have ongoing costs. The sector itself needs funding so museums can grow organically to become self-supporting. www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/2645840...

Just a reflection; if you're an organisation that relies heavily on volunteers, please make sure that they can claim expenses as easily as possible. If I need MFA, separate log ins, third party software (when previously it was a form and receipt) PLEASE MAKE SURE IT WORKS.

The old and the new - a 19th century Haida transformation mask, carved by master carver Charles Edenshaw, displayed above a replica mask created by one of his descendants, Jaalen Edenshaw. Look closely and you'll see the 'Haida emojis' at the centre of the mask, a modern take on an old tradition.

Yesterday honestly feels like a massive missed opportunity by Middlesex to cross-promote their men's & women's teams. Example: this was posted about 2 hours after Saskia Horley's century. I guess we can argue about the definition of "List A" cricket but still a bit galling?
Screenshot of a Middlesex_CCC tweet with a photo of Ryan Higgins. The tweet says: "His first white ball hundred. A first Middlesex hundred in a list A final. Superb, Higgo."

O hey Reminder that in (homophobic) '94 as Dookie was blowing up, Green Day picked queercore Pansy Division to open for them + a lot of venues pressured them to drop them as openers -- Green Day told the venues they wouldn't play if PD didn't - and the venues (mostly? all?) backed down. huh.

What on earth is happening?
  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

Weird, I wonder if a weekly, episodic release of the first live-action Spider-Man show in decades, starring Nicolas Cage, which was critically acclaimed and embraced by fans, would have had more staying power on the Top 10 charts than dumping it all in a single day? deadline.com/2026/09/spid...
But Spider-Noir didn’t have the staying power of other Prime Video recent releases such as Off Campus, Reacher and Ride Or Die, dropping off the platform’s daily Top 10 rankings relatively quickly.

Lads, we went to a STRAWBERRY museum because I love and value weird small town quirky museums and it did not disappoint. Spent £50 on strawberry themed things (pic at some point) and afterwards you can go into the Little Fruits garden and pick/eat whatever you want. Long live quirky museums. 🍓

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title above the first two panels reads, "Dog Toys".
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a bone shaped dog toy. She says, "Look!"
The second panel shows a dog wagging its tail. There is a speech bubble leading back to Sarah saying "It squeaks!"
The title above the last two panels reads, "Cat Toys".
In panel three we see Sarah again. She says "Come, child."
Panel four shows a cat raising its paws in glee. We see Sarah's hands holding cat nip. We see a speech bubble leading back to Sarah saying "It is time to do drugs".

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.
