This is an earthworm. AN EARTHWORM. I don't know what they put in the soil in Croatia, but this bad boy is almost three times as long as my foot, and I have impressively large feet (size 8.5 UK / 10.5 US).

For some reason, my daughter does not like my nosferatu impression DESPITE the fact I’ve performed it at every available opportunity for the last three weeks.

I have a little plea and it's this: please keep posting about things that aren't The Horrors. I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please.

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

This article ignores the fact that a lot of authors are totally fine with celebrities writing novels, just pissed off with the ones who pretend they have when they haven’t. (I also wonder if @davidmbarnett.bsky.social ran over this guy’s dog, or something.) www.thebookseller.com/comment/lets...
