“I don’t approve of calling food naughty. We’ve got to take pleasure where we can in life.” Not to put presenters against one another, but I’ve never forgotten Prue saying something was “not worth the calories” so Nigella saying this - along with familiar bakes! - is like a normality reset #gbbo

Years ago, I was walking home late one night, and a drunk guy was harassing me - trying to get me to go home with him, pushy sex comments, etc. After a few mins, his mate turned to him and said, firmly but not aggressively, "MATE. leave her alone, yeah?" And he did. I think about him all the time.

Just read this out to my husband very earnestly saying what a good thing we'd got rid of our old diesel car in time, and he replied, "Wow, yes, thank goodness, we were only two years in time," and I don't care for his tone, actually.

I saw this absolutely splendid driftwood dragon walking to West Angle Bay this morning - what a resplendent item!
A totally resplendent dragon made from driftwood with great big clawed feet and a forked tongue and a very proud bearing. It is in Angle, Pembrokeshire in Wales.

I’ve been very quiet during #suicidepreventionawarenessweek because it’s shit being constantly reminded of all the things I might have done to save Alice. The “check-in” narrative is particularly distressing. I get that its’s appealing, plenty of people have an anecdote that it saved their life…

This is part of a wider thread about the “just check in!” narrative around suicide prevention week and how that doesn’t help if there is no societal or political support. This applies to so much, but it applies significantly to trans children and their parents, as Caroline has so valiantly shown.

Blimey, sad indictment of reading that #dragraceuk literary catwalk had three children’s picture books, 2 fairy tales and 4 directly taken from the film adaptations. Although perhaps a very good ad for drag queen storytime at kids’ libraries! (Anita Piss choosing Julian is a Mermaid though 💙❤️)

EXC - We *also* have an MRP out today - which has some very striking findings. Progressives who vote tactically to stop Nigel Farage’s Reform UK could push his party into FOURTH place. The poll also shows Burnham’s Labour is winning back left-leaning voters. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
