Leftie liberal, politics, music, books, records. Mental and physical heath, neurodivergence and Dartmoor. Expect tangents.
I want to staple this to the head of everyone who ever says ‘skyrocketing disability benefits’ or suchlike.
This TUC post, which made me cry a bit, prompted me to watch Pride again (with mum this time). The end of this film, when all the miners coaches turn up to the Pride, always makes me well up. Is the musical any good?
I hope the Monster Raving Loony Party does the decent thing and agrees not to split the vote.
When I moved here circa 5 years ago, awaiting internet, an Openreach engineer said there was fibre to *this pole*. Half a decade later I still can’t get FTTP. If I had the wherewithal a dodgy late night DIY ‘installation’ would’ve definitely happened.
Certain comics justify a really beautiful giant hardback slipcover edition.
I spied this in my new sister-in-law’s art studio. Turns out she used to teach bookbinding. Might have to get a lesson sometime…
YouGov daily poll doing little to debunk the theory that a goodish portion of the UK are fashy bastards.
Another day another garden centre. This time I’m being yelled at by chickens and cockerels.
Can’t imagine what you mean. These concerned citizens are clearly patriotic lefties, it says so in their bios.
I was unaware of this particular nightmare fuel. So with gay abandon I recklessly searched for it. The flippant way one exposes oneself to such horror. Anyway. I’ve tormented my black soul, so you can too.
Pocket money toys. This lot were 99p each in the UK when I collected them back then.
I found another shady bench in the graveyard. You might be tempted to sit on it if in the local. Turns out that this would be a terrible idea. It’s plastic and has zero friction. Your bum just slides off it.
