On here there’s lots of chat about how twitter is a cesspit. But twitter’s user base was always a bit potty. Facebook is where the danger is, because that’s where the people who vote hang out.

I can remember our headmaster, flanked by the head boy, addressing an emergency whole school assembly: “whichever one of you stole the radioactive isotope from the science laboratories, will you return it immediately.”

31 Notes I Have Made About My Dad In My Notebook

My dad has come to an arrangement with the public pool in Nottinghamshire where he swims: after everyone else has got out of the pool, he is permitted to do a somersault before he gets changed.

A few weeks ago my phone buzzed at midnight - a delivery notification from Evri. I got out of bed, opened the front door, and there in a huge mound on my doorstep were Evri parcels for every address within a half mile radius.

Look a child in the eye and treat them with respect when you talk with them. You might find they're wiser than you are. Teach them. Motivate them. And for god's sake, make them laugh. They need it. And you need it, too.

Sometimes I remember when the barber was shaving my beard and he asked me to tilt my head this way and that and then lift my chin and for some reason my brain got confused about what he wanted me to do so I stuck my tongue out. Like, in what world does a barber need you to stick your tongue out.

A.I. and corporate lingo are dragging language ynto drugged realmes of vague, airy, plastic nothingnesse: glitz and hyperbole wythout meaning. Language must have fur and clawes, make the floorboardes creake and leave wet dirtye footprintes. Wordes are rayne and fyre and stone. Wielde them. Save us.

Yet another morning when my alarm went off at 4.40am. I made my way to Ludlow yesterday and this was the view from Whitcliffe Common at sunrise, with a flight of geese above the castle. On the horizon is Brown Clee and its summit of Abdon Burf, veiled in mist. #shropshire

Be true to your creative vision. Jim Henson did something absolutely new and daring with THE DARK CRYSTAL, defying those who told him the production would never work. An absolute commitment to his own artistic endeavor, non-believers be damned.
