Another training today with a British person and I have to rein in the desire to be a weirdo...

The new tagline for twitter/X is “Blaze your glory!” I hope they offer a less enthusiastic option for British users. Perhaps something along the lines of “give it a go” or “it is what it is”

yesterday i went to pick up a prescription at walgreens and they said it’d be $130 *with* insurance, so i pulled up a coupon from GoodRx and paid…$6.50.

why is that extra step necessary? if i’m insured, why do you i need a random-ass website to get involved? wtf is this system

A woman has completed a decade-long project to sample a scone at every possible National Trust location.

Sarah Merker told Roger & Nina on #BBCBreakfast she visited 244 sites across England, Wales and Northern Ireland and ranked every one on her blog.

@nt_scones When I tell you I would watch that so fast …

@tracyurq Oh no!!!

Just a reminder that the NFL gave these men a “5 minute prep” to restart the game after they witness their teammate get CPR for almost 10 minutes. If that screams that the world doesn’t give a damn about mens mental health, I don’t know what does.

@EmilyMalcolm1 @nt_scones @NTDyrhamPark That. Looks. Amazing!

[Suitcase Full of Cake @BudgetBritain]

@amylestoye @Feisty_Waters Me too. I go through weeks where I just can’t focus on a book. But I try to read a little when I can. Just started a book I’m really enjoying so I feel like I’m back in the game! (For now at least 😁)

Say something nice about the UK.

[Suitcase Full of Cake @BudgetBritain]

@alandanziger That is great advice!

[Suitcase Full of Cake @BudgetBritain]

When failure and rejection just seem to become your whole life … how do you move past it?

I did have a slice of cake … but all jokes aside … I’m just so, so sad.

[Suitcase Full of Cake @BudgetBritain]

@Wend68 Yes! I was so lucky to see one!
