Stephen Spencer turns his toddler's imagination into songs. Virtually overnight, scores of people discovered & followed him on Insta. This is the song that kicked it all off. I just saw last night that he's now made a karaoke version! I shall wear my 'important mermaid' t-shirt as I sing along.🧜‍♀️

Photo of what appears to be an old, worn, dented cardboard. box with a "fragile" decal on one side and the word "Fergus" in what appear to be black marker on another side. The top appears to be taped shut with clear mailing tape. Unless one looks very closely it's nearly impossible to tell that it is a handmade clay sculpture and not a real brown cardboard box.

I have to show you this "cardboard" urn that Tim Kowalczyk (www.instagram.com/timsceramics/) made for Fergus again because it is absolutely incredible. Look at the details and remember that this is made of hand sculpted clay. 📦

i can't believe a representative of the Vatican openly pondering whether someone should be burnt at the stake in 2026 and my answer is, "Yes absolutely, do it slow."

The Power of Poetry   with things falling apart and anarchy let loose,   it was only poetry, he found, which had any use,   so he reached for his copy   of The Complete Works of Yeats   and bludgeoned the President of the United States Brian Bilston

On World Poetry Day, here’s a reminder of the power of poetry and its potential to change the world.

Currently doing the procrastinating bit. I have accepted this as part of the whole housework process.

Wasn’t this the one with Brian Blessed as a policeman?

I have a (now very battered) signed copy. I bought my first book by him because it fell on me when I was walking round Foyles in London and it had a bass guitar on the cover.

Survey invitation for autistic adults

Are you, or do you know an autistic adult who might be able to help us by completing this survey?

It’s the final study for my lovely PhD student Sarah.

Many thanks in advance

Me too

Have you ever just spoken to a woman? You know, get offline & chat to a real person. All this looks-based obsession will just keep you in a room with other paranoid boys while the rest are out being funny & interesting & generally good company. Be the type of person you would like to hang out with.

Ah, yes. The delusional dating requirements of the man not being a dick.
That’s pretty much it.

This needs to be reposted a lot, to ensure it doesn't disappear. Copy to onenote/keep/Evernote, whatever you use.

Oh and repost too. Thanks.

Political cartoonists are not fuckin’ around this week. (thread)

1. Pat Bagley

His post was saying that the cartoon was definitely anti-Semitic because there wasn’t even the excuse of Zack actually having a big nose in real life where the ‘artist’ could have claimed they were just doing the normal caricature method of exaggerating existing features. He was agreeing with you.

That’s not at all what Steve said

X is not above the law

Calling all good people of BlueSky, @goodlawproject.org is raising money for their very serious legal challenge to Elon's Twitter/X.

If anyone has a spare couple of quid they could contribute?

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.
