Where are my lovely nerds at? My partner just opened their new RedBubble shop, with hand-drawn space stuff a specialty. Zero AI involved. More to come, including animals from my new panel show, but this one's my current fave. Give it a gander if you would: www.redbubble.com/people/Jones...

This is an absolutely brilliant online comedy show (yes, there is still such a thing - it's this, right here). It may be too hot to go out, but you can laugh your flip-flops off from the comfort of your own home. Highly recommended.

I've got a new panel show all about animals.🦒 It's very silly and huge fun.🪿 I'm bringing it to Guildford on Tuesday and <honesty incoming> if ticket sales don't pick up soon it's at risk of being cancelled. 🙊 Please spread the word to fellow animal & comedy lovers! tinyurl.com/AnimalsGU

Most Zoom gigs were painful in all the ways that Zoom can be anyway, more so painted on the canvas of comedy. Which is why most didn’t continue post-pandemic. HOWEVER. This gig, somehow, is gorgeous and fun, accessible and welcoming, with the loveliest people. You should come.

Not one but two panel shows this weekend - in what's a mini preview of my Edinburgh Fringe this year (where I'm doing both every day for the full run). Some of my favourite comedians are joining me for each show - you should too. It'll be ridiculously fun. All the info at linktr.ee/lesliegold

Where my Kentish folk at? My new comedy panel show debuts in Tonbridge Sat 7 Mar. Comedians battle to determine the ultimate leader board of the best (and worst) animals, plus animal-themed interactive games. A funny panel-show spin on our furry, feathery, finny friends! tinyurl.com/Animals7Mar

Headlines like "Greenland is currently a Danish territory" are irresponsible. *Currently* implies a movability that didn't exist until the orange menace decided to throw an imperial tantrum. Words matter. Step up your standards, @bbcnews.bsky.social. We expect better from you.

Phone call with a GP to progress my request for an ADHD referral. He's running through a tick list he has to complete before he can send off the referral. Me: "....and a history of financial problems related to this, and it probably fed into my divorce." Him: "Okay, fab." 😅

Pretty ol’ sunset over South London, as I head off to see Hamilton (for the sixth time!) Seems appropriate to re-witness the birth of America onstage as the real life version declines into a fiery sunset of its own making. (Too dark?)

I can't remember the password to a website. I do the 'forgotten password' process and they send me an email saying 'click this link to reset,' and the link is (a) not a link, and (b) broken. Frustrating, but also good to know I'm not the only numpty in this equation!

Please either: a) talk me down from buying *another* pair of Cons that I definitely don't need, if you define 'need' in the usual way b) remind me that none of my existing collection feature this adorable double-platform and therefore it does suggest an innovative interpretation of the word 'need'

Have put a request through with the GP - once again - for a formal assessment for ADHD. This time, my form was simply an invitation to one of my gigs, as they'll have a laugh *and* will come out of there and go 'yep.' Just doing my bit to reduce the strain on the NHS.
