Children's books and charity comms. Bristol, UK. Nerdy gay. Cats, food, hobbies I never do but mean to, beer. Tired. Like a nan but one who's really into trans rights.

This guy

A fluffy ginger cat lounges along the narrow back of a blue sofa against a soft pink wall. His tail is immensely floofy, implausibly so. He is bonelessly contented, which is why there is a thin line of drool on the sofa directly below his wee nose. He's up there because there was a fan on and he didn't like it even after I turned it off. He was sick on my bed twice last night. I love him.

Was blissfully unaware of this gig of his. A quick skim and, well

Excerpt from Jan 2025 Spectator article by Gareth Roberts tiled 'The strangeness and sanity of Donald Trump'. Final paragraphs: "Today’s oddballs can be tomorrow’s fondly remembered great statesmen. Trump even touched on this during his ramble, imagining a future where children as yet unborn ask their parents who that legendary man Trump was. A normal political leader might think about this, but they’d never say it out loud, because what would people think?

In a mad world forged by ‘sane’ people like Blair, Merkel and Obama, I’ll take the loony option, please and thank you. As Trump would say: it’s the greatest option, it’s beautiful, it’s gonna be great."

Collage made from Lidl magazine. 'Close your eyes mum' appears top left over some laughing women and a haunting army of Easter bunnies. 'Sparkle meat is in store for you' appears to the right, beside an image of a cut steak being sprinkled with sea salt (or sparkles). Lurking in the background are ominous glimpses of vegetables on primary backgrounds.

Shit collage on A4 printer paper with some bits of Lidl magazine stuck on it. Sliced fruit is slit into blocks in each corner, leaving lots of white space. Off centre is a cut courgette with a hand brandishing a knife looming over it. The words 'Save me' are above.

I am currently making collages where I tell a story using only Lidl magazine

A collage showing a bucolic scene of blue sky, an onion sun, broccoli and asparagus trees and a child following an intriguing pathway paved with tasty items from the Lidl bakery. But oh no! The pathway leads to a man from the Parkside gardening section who might be up to no good.

Told the tuxedo cat. Did not tell the orange cat. Sigh.

A vague image capturing an escaping cat butt, from a table bearing a laptop and a plate draped with a tissue.

The plate if bred with tissue over it. The wet patches indicate a lik has clearly occurred.

Susie Day@susieday· Mar 9

Such innocent, so unbuttered

A black cat is curled up with paws tucked underneath him in a brown oval bed. He would never lik the bred, never ever.

I have paid my tax bill. Motivation/rewards as pictured.

A huge mug of tea, three Lindor chocolates and a mushroom fidget toy on a messy wooden table.

Wondered when the MMR came in in the UK because I had measles as a kid. Surprising answer.

Screencap from the top result of Google search:
"AI Overview
The MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine was introduced in the UK in October 1emergency services, replacing separate vaccination programs to provide combined protection. It replaced the single measles vaccine used since 1968. A second dose of the MMR vaccine was later introduced in the UK in 1996.
Key details regarding the introduction of the MMR vaccine:

Meet Briz, your new digital assistant that you didn't ask for and makes our service demonstrably worse, but it has a smiley face

Screencap of Bristol City Council's website showcasing their new digital assistant, 'Briz'. It means you don't talk to human when you phone up anymore, and you can ask it questions like 'when is bins?' so it can send you a text with a link to a webpage you could've just searched for. The sidebar shows a clicky button labelled 'Ask Briz' below a cheerful-looking robot head with a wifi symbol for hair (?).

Tester pot mural and ceramic puffin by partner, cat by me, demotivation poster from somewhere in Bristol.

Photo of part of a bedroom wall. The wall is a freehand mural of plants in greens, yellows and blues. On to of a low wooden bookshelf is a square painting of a ginger cat,; a simple framed illustration of someone in bed which declares 'Relax and ignore the false sense of urgency '; a ceramic puffin; a small Matroshka.

No cheating, repost with your most recent photo of your pet (one of, this is Ludo)

A fluffy ginger cat with a white throat is curled up in a ball but with his head up, looking directly at us. He is on a blue blanket covered in his own fur, on a blue sofa, with a plain pale pink wall behind him. He is obviously great and also silly.

There is an awful lot terrible in this world already and I do not see why Just Eat have decided to add Craig David being an egg timer into it

Snip from the new Craig David Just Eat advert. Blurry in the background, a hand reaches through a window and passes a bag of groceries to the waiting customer's hand. In the foreground is an egg-shaped egg timer which has Craig David's head and Craig David's arms and he is singing something about chilli. The eldritch horror of this can't be overstated. The proportions! His joy at becoming Cregg David! It gets more haunting the more you look at it. I am very sorry for sharing.

When you tell me you outsourced your humanity to perform a task, this is what I hear: - I asked Chucky to write to my partner to resolve our relationship problems - I asked Chucky to apply for a job, that I want, with a salary that will keep my family alive - I asked Chucky to 'streamline' the govt

Still from Child's Play. Chucky the doll sits on a couch. It is very obviously not human.

Apropos of nothing at all, it's six years since I asked for a famous transphobe not to get a slot in an anthology and he didn't. Good things are possible (or were then I guess) #polariprize #polari www.instagram.com/p/DNOqLgkqvx...

Part of a Wales online article. "Conwy is one of the most ridiculously pretty towns you will find in Wales".

Went to Slimbridge. Watched a cow fight an egret. No notes.

A pond at Slimbridge, a wildlife sanctuary in Gloucestershire. Central in the pond is a Little Egret, the best bird, surrounded by reflections of the sky. Beyond is a flat green plain then a line of trees. Cow not pictured cos it was a different egret that decided to fuck shit up.

Petition for new meme: It fucken melty

Still from 1933 horror movie The Mystery of the Wax Museum. A wax figure of a woman is melting with flames all around.

Fond of this too. Also the mum with the 'I'm proud of my trans daughter' t-shirt, and the t-shirt that said 'I can't believe I'm having to protest this shit again'. Huge thank you to organisers for the focus on safety and knowing our rights as protestors.

Transport for Wales have some opinions about first class passengers

Close up of signage on a gold train door in Wales. Above the number 1 is the dual language sign Cyntaf/First. The Welsh word here is pronounced Cunt-av. Obviously this is just a word and not actually the opinion of Transport for Wales who probably love first class passengers but I have had a long day and I'm tired and I will take any lols available

I'm not saying things are going great if you're buying a v-day card from Lidl, but good lord

Two valentine's cards. Left: deep blue background with a bold cartoon lobster wearing sunglasses and pants, emanating red and pink hearts. Caption: Husband Mr Lobba Lobba.

Right: a softer vibe with a sweet little illustration of a koala in a hot air balloon, while another koala watched, surrounded by small gold foil hearts on a pale blue background . Caption: to my lovely wife from your big softy.
