"The organs were trying to decide who was in charge...All the other parts laughed at the rectum so he shut down tight. Within days, the brain had a headache, the stomach bloated, the legs got wobbly..."
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - you're the rectum. #ShutDown #DownTools #EpsteinFiles #ETTD
A photograph of a white desk with the usual office junk. In the foreground is the headstock and neck of a PRS Silversky SE guitar on a stand (the rest of the guitar is out of shot). On the desk is a large wine glass containing red wine.
It's Friday afternoon on the last Bank Holiday weekend until Christmas. Time to #DownTools and indulge.
Just give me a steel [strung] guitar and a glass of wine...
We will shortly #downtools for the bank holiday.
However you like to read, we hope you all have a relaxing long weekend.

#NationalYearOfReading #ReadingForPleasure #DownTools
Are you planning to #DownTools this summer.
If you're stuck for reading ideas, we asked some of the attendees at our Awards and Summer Party for their all-time favourites.
Which ones would you add to your list?
True. But the fact that far fewer daily deaths in the Ukraine are seen as something different - a more urgent/acceptable issue to raise - shows how broad the paradigm is. It encompasses holocaust guilt, racism, fossil-fuel dependence. Hard to parse for most, let alone act on. #NoBAU #downtools
Unfortunately most of them didn’t read your message #DownTools #UptheRoad
Happy anniversary to the Thompson Twins single, “You Take Me Up”. Released this week in 1984. #thompsontwins #youtakemeup #passionplanet #downtools #leopardray #intothegap
Not entirely sure how Trump gets away with this. And even more surprised that Musk has so much say. He’s not a politician, statesman or even educated in global politics. Every oligarch is at it. #DownTools #WhatsStoppingUs
Happy 40th anniversary to the Thompson Twins single, “You Take Me Up”. Released this week in 1984. #thompsontwins #youtakemeup #passionplanet #downtools #leopardray #intothegap
With the deepest respect I’ve decided it’s only right I take the rest of the day off to reflect #downtools
Calling it, too nice to work. #downtools
Fuck it, I’m calling it. #downtools
