Last night, walking to my ex's place, I met two juvenile foxes. They were sitting around 3 metres from me, and didn't run away when I greeted them - always greet wild animals out loud. They appreciate it...

...asking for masked men in black to patrol Hastings because of some stories about "delivery drivers" forcing their way into lone women's homes. No specifics. Account saying similar things about other areas, with garish AI posters. It's sand.

Blue Lights (iPlayer) is a masterpiece. It needs to be watched from the beginning of series one, as it's a continuous story and characters, rather than enclosed episodes...

It's weird that people believe what's on reality TV. I guess it's normal if you don't know how it works behind the scenes...

A lot of our lives, whatever our gender or factory settings, are spent on placating cis men with big feelings that got very aggressive. Mainly not to get murdered. It's our daily admin, if we interact...

Men's toilets in pubs and clubs are generally disgusting. We had a debate a while back on whether the toilet seats were covered in piss deliberately or through ignorance.

Whether it's a kitchen area, an office, a toilet, a train seat - leave it how you'd want to find it. Simple as that. Don't be fkn gross.

this thread is not unexpected. We moved into new offices yesterday - unisex toilets, tampons + pads in all etc, but as a couple of us talked in the pub afterwards, we do think visible instruction or a company missive might be needed to ask people to clean up after themselves.

i would say 'leave the space as you wish it to be found' but then some (probably men) obviously, don't have a clue what that means, and god knows what their home spaces are like. I am also going to suggest hand cream and air fresheners in each would life more pleasant for staff.

...I know that genitals and melanin have no effect on how catastrophic a human's bodily output might be in the moment. Everyone is gross. However, how much work they leave cleaners to sort out definitely varies, and it's damning.

They're partial to suet pellets. This from the old fella's back garden in urban Stockport.

I love that I often get to meet badgers here.. They always seem oblivious to my presence until they're a couple of feet away, and I say "hello, friend" and then they just stop and gaze at me in confusion for a while, computing whether I'm a safe person to know...

Despite being a horrible little boy in school, I was lucky enough to become friends with Sameer (RIP) a big Muslim lad who would cheerfully give me a deadarm whenever I let slip with any racist epithets ubiquitous in the 80's. Call it aversion therapy, then I matured enough to start thinking.

Ambitions are strange and pliable things. When we're young, they are big. We hope to write a book, or a screenplay, or a song that will get through to an audience and make them think more...

One of my cats did that years ago by deciding to vomit into a trailing extension cable. But as I didn’t know that was the cause, and it was 2am, I had to go around the whole house and check every socket for the problem device. And then found my hand in cat vomit. I do miss Smokey, the dozy twat.

The repeated sentence on BBC News about Germany's election, and "the first far-right party since World War Two" is leaving out some pretty heavy context.
