When I say I’m excited to see The Odyssey because I love the story I mean specifically this book which I read and re-read when I was a kid.
The cover of a book called “Odysseus The Greatest Hero of Them All” with an image of Tony Robinson speaking on the front. The subtitle is “Now an enthralling television series narrated by Tony Robinson”. The authors are Tony Robinson and Richard Curtis

I find it hard to justify just sitting but in a place like this it actively feels good for the soul.

Off this week so am at RHS Bridgewater and it’s just heaven.
A view across a little green meadow, dappled with sunlight. Some old buildings are in the distance, one with a pointed spire.

I’ve just used the phrase “if I pass my eye test” which may indicate that I don’t really understand their purpose.

My niece drew me this picture of an opossum and it brought me so much joy. Like, it has the *essence* of an opossum.

“The airport footage was obtained through an information disclosure request to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport by activist Nick Benson with MN50501 - a Minnesota-based organization that advocates against Trump's policies.”

I’ve highlighted the part where it links to MN50501.

A reminder that when Christian Zionists and Christian Nationalists in the West talk about Christians, they are not talking about the Christians of the same holy land that Jesus himself came from. They don't give a shit about us.

Started running today’s D&D feeling totally unprepared and shy and it turned out to be my favourite one yet. I’m so proud of my wonderful gang of goofballs, watching them learn the game and come out of left field with mad plans.

Meeting one of my Mum’s friend for lunch next month, along with Dad. She’s lovely but does like to talk about the emotions of Mum’s loss a lot, including sometimes talking about the actual event. I think it’s her way of dealing with things (she’s also a widow) but it’s very much not mine.

People are like "oh wow it must be so hard to come out as Trans" and my siblings in Christ, the last time I outed myself as trans it was to the Mother Superior of a Convent and I was actively doing finger guns at her at the time.

Remember when left-wing "authoritarians" were "lynching" conservatives on campus? I hope everyone who wrote articles about that is feeling great. But they might want to reflect on the way the metaphorical language of violence allows us to treat actual violence as a reaction to figurative violence.

Good morning from everyone at the Hall including Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson's mouse. She's doing very well she says and thanks you for asking.
We are looking at a close up of a small wooden carved mouse on an oak chair. It is climbing up the scroll of the top of a chair and has a long straight tail and finely carved whiskers.

Minutes before not quite disaster but a bit overcooked…I’m quite happy these turned out to be delicate little dumplings and not the Chinese Cornish pasties I usually end up making. Still a way to go! But they were so tiny and cute!
Some dumplings folded into half moon shapes, sat in a frying pan about to be cooked.

The BBC is the biggest thump of soft power the UK has and its reach and influence to the benefit of the country is extraordinary. Destroy it, hugely damage the UK. The same people who helped weaken us over Brexit are seeking to do it again.
