Silliness aside - I hope you have plenty of support from loved ones, pets, and simple carbs to help you through this.

Oh no. Have you tried [incredibly obvious advice]? It really helped me when I had [similar-sounding but entirely unrelated condition].

Just as well those committing wrongs against the RNLI are not holding placards supporting a proscribed organisation, else they would really be in trouble.

Losing my mind while doing some research for my creature design lecture that the closest relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog. Like there has gotta be a fable where the maned wolf took all the leggie from its cousin

They did well to get a whole series out of a 7-minute sketch share.google/TmH4evWuY2YC... Though to be fair, it does seem like a lot more than 7 minutes while you're watching it.

I believe the RNLI are responding to legitimate concerns that people might drown.

Look it's very simple Graham. Step 1 is reporting them to the Electoral Commission. Step 2 is, I'll admit, a little fuzzy, but leads swiftly and inevitably to Step 3 which is fully automated luxury gay space communism for all.

Didn't he call the Dr 'Father' at some point? So adopted, created, whatever, makes sense that he'd adopt his dad's family name. Now, whether that's legally binding, or how Victor feels about it are separate questions, but I'm all for letting people choose their own names.

In a similar vein I highy recommend 'John Kanacka' - Sproglet learned I think 4 different versions of it at a similar age and was absolutely enamoured of them all.

Heartened to see both this statement from BYM Trustees, and especially to see this as a pull-quote, as it seems to be at the heart of Quaker support for trans and nonbinary people (& others).

Things To Do With Potatoes Throw a potato on the ground behind a stranger, then say "Excuse me, you've dropped your potato!". If they deny ownership, pull another potato from your pocket, saying "Well it's definitely not my one". Hide a potato in a pair of shoes at a bowling alley.

Second-favourite was when baby Sproglet pulled the Communist Manifesto off the shelf and lay enraptured through a dramatic reading of a decent chunk of it

Huw @peddant.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
Sproglet used to do this. My favourite was when he fixated on an entirely blank notebook - ended up 'yes and'-ing our way through the tale of 'Invisible Sproglet' and his animal friends, which has now become an ongoing series.

At this morning's Newcastle Christians at Pride Service we were invited to reflect on what Pride means to us. My answer has changed over the years, as I have changed and the world has changed. This is part of it now:
A lesbian priest goes to Pride

“Are you a real priest?”
You dance towards me shimmering 
with sequins and sass, and courage 
that comes hard won.

“Will you bless me?”
And something dancing in your eyes
that looks like longing,
long denied.  

I raise my hand. 
Around us hands raised
with the beat of
defiant joy. 

I raise my hand:
“The blessing of God…”
more than almighty, 
more than holy, 
wild and free and
dancing out of reach,
weaving us
into the crowd.

This blessing bounces off a glitter ball,
refracted with the light,
broken shards of glory clinging
to our clothes, 
snagging on fishnets, 
sliding over slicked-back hair,
landing lightly on tattooed biceps,
scars, jackets worn like armour. 

It follows me home, 
this blessing, 
trailing after me as if
reluctant to leave the party, 

follows me to the altar
with the dawn,
dancing through stained glass:
cracked beauty on immaculate linen. 

I raise in my hands
sparkling silver and bread:
“this is my body.”
In my hands, my body, this body,
the blessed and broken meet:
the pulse of last night’s music
echoing into shining silence. 

Yes: I have never been more real.

Good job Cliff! No pets here, but Sproglet has taken a keen interest in petting a neighbourhood cat who hangs out in our garden, and decided to draw a rat on the pavement because he thought the cat might like it.

Ooh - also any mention of 'book' would be met with a request to be read to, so we found ourselves saying things like 'I'll just tidy up the large pamphlets'

Huw @peddant.bsky.social · 22/07/2026
When sproglet was 2 he'd ask for food whenever he heard 'snack' so we started using circumlocutions and mispronunciations. 'Snack' became 'snake' , and when he clocked that it became 'herpetology' and soon enough we were casually telling each other 'I'll just put a herp together before we go out'
