Good Morning from Santa Worm!
One of the amazing pieces by artist Mark Ryden. I love his ability to take a vocabulary of vintage americana & victorian images and do really beautiful light and creepy things with them.

God i love youngsters (under 30) Seriously, the generation of women behind us, are reaping the rewards of us being shouty & standing up for ourselves. As a child free 50yr old, this is GLORIOUS to see. (yes i have had some gins)

I was a brownie in the 80s, then I was a Girl Guide into the 90s. It was a massive part of my life at the time and helped me feel more confident. I cannot believe what @girlguiding have done, how cowardly, how shameful of them. I'm gobsmacked

The restriction on car makes in Motability is a perfect and horrible example of Government By Vibes. it saves no money, it helps absolutely nobody, all it does is makes a few cruel and angry people feel better while disadvantaging people with mobility needs.

So #virginmedia don't like customers or indeed customer service. 4 calls at 10mins each just to navigate the menu to get into a queue to speak to a person. Now 28mins on hold to a "Tech Team", not because of a tech issue, but because the "Billing" options don't let you speak to an actual person

Sewing in my room today, afternoon light was perfect. Feelgood injection straight into my brains. Here's a progress shot of the piece of quilting I am making to use in a glasses case for the MiL #sewing #craft #sewist
A window in late afternoon sun, light streaming through onto a striped piece of fabric quilting in shades of yellow, sun shining on the top of a sewing machine. 2 plants in the background on the windowsill, lots of blue sky too

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Dad is home on Monday night, finally. We thought he would end up staying in hospital another night as the Patient Transport seem to forget he existed (ooooooof) and finally got him in the door 12hrs after telling him to get ready to leave. But he's home, and the carers are visiting.

I simply don't have the energy to explain how much shite we have waded through today, only to be cruelly pushed back to where we started. Looking after elderly parents from far away, is a sisyphean torture

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

A woman says "it's weird how 9/11 became a national holiday." Another woman, with horror on her face says "Oh No! That means..." We cut away to see Jack Skellington from Nightmare before christmas approach a door in a tree shaped like the twin towers. He emerges from an airplane bathroom in front of shocked passengers and says "what's this?" We see the plane about to crash in to the towers. Jack once again says "what's this?"

Graham Linehan is a toxic radical misogynist who cares nothing about the women he claims to "protect". He's a mentally sick bully who's obsessed with judging women's genitalia. He deserves ridicule, pity, shame and a lifetime of scorn hurled upon him from all sides & at all times.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

My anxious dog is more anxious than usual, because my other half is out for the night. She has not slept since four o'clock this afternoon and is absolutely wired. Her anxiety seems to be mainly expressed in farts, she is unrepentant.
