D'où je viens le temps n'existe pas. Keeping it vaguely imaginary since 2005.

Having spent the last four days in London, I now completely understand why everyone hates cyclists.

I did an entire module on Greek and Roman myth and the lecturers delivering that course were nowhere near as snotty about modern receptions of myths as people on Twitter.

I have never wanted a team to win more than I wanted Belgium to win. Not even for Sunderland to beat Newcastle. Get in Belgium for beating those cheating Yanks.

@jbnecro @fiago7 My Spanish teacher made our class agua de horchata. I wasn’t expecting to like it but it was so nice.

Seeing posts of England fans having fun in Mexico City is making me so jealous because I’m not going there until September.

Looked at the queue for the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition at about 8pm and it was 81000. Woke up at half four, checked again and it was still in the several thousands. Long story short, an hour later and I’ve got a ticket for November 😀.

@DoctorWhoWorld_ Hell Bent. Everyone goes on about how good Heaven Sent is and I can’t remember it because Hell Bent pissed me off so much.

@DB30626199 @dan_ofthesouth If you have to ask if there’s enough cheese, then there isn’t enough cheese. Cheese is life.

@zaphod6919 @WhatTheForkAVFC Don’t forget the pickled onion.

Series 6 is where Steven Moffatt disappeared up his own arse. Series’ 7 & 8 were bad. Series 9 could have been saved if Moffatt had kept Clara dead instead of doing that time-y-wime-y bullshit, but alas, he fucked that one up. Series 10 was better but I’ve forgotten most of it.

[J🇺🇸 @Joshua4570]

The truth that no one wants to hear is that Doctor Who has been in a very slow decline since series 6

I did a Pilates class for the first time yesterday. I can really tell today which of my muscles I haven’t really used recently, 😂.

As someone who doesn’t have a particularly healthy relationship with food after being told that pretty much every food was unhealthy as a child in the 90s, I can attest this assertion is not true.

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

One of my favorite parts about the 90s is we just ate whatever food we wanted. Food was food. No one argued about what food was bad and what food was healthy. We just minded our business in general. At least that’s how I remember it

[Jennifer Orton @hobbleit_jen]

You saw this with Joss Whedon. After it came out how shitty he was, people were trying to say that he was never a good writer. Like, seriously, think of an iconic Buffy moment and he wrote it. Good writer, shitty human. Both can be true.

[Amelie Magazine @vickyslyth_]

You see how much damage tumblr did to people's brain because they really don't understand that people can be mean/awful people and STILL be good at their work field lmao Just because you dislike a person, famous or not, that doesn't mean the person is bad at their job

[Jennifer Orton @hobbleit_jen]

@coupedumonde07 I thought it was because of the blatant bribery. Everyone knows that’s why Russia and Qatar were awarded World Cups.

[Jennifer Orton @hobbleit_jen]

The thing is, Americans don’t match the energy. They push it too far so, what starts as banter, quickly descends into just being mean. Banter is just making fun of each other but Americans see it as a competition to win.

[alex berny @Mr_spacely777]

It’s wild. They expect ppl to not say anything back, then get super defensive when Americans match the energy

It basically goes like:

Brits: Americans are fat, stupid, uncultured, loud, and everything wrong with the world.

Americans: go to a dentist.

Brits: Wow. So sensitive!

[Jennifer Orton @hobbleit_jen]

I’m a proud northerner and there is not a single chance I am changing my vowel sounds to please a bunch of yankee fucking doodles. Hard A all the way.

[Qui-Gon Jim @jimbojd4]

Since we hating on Europeans I just wanna add that I absolutely loathe the way British people say “pasta”

[Jennifer Orton @hobbleit_jen]

@MichelleWi63723 @UsdawUnion Then SAR the cctv. Don’t shove your phone into a retail workers face who has no recourse to reply.

[Jennifer Orton @hobbleit_jen]

There are so many actual photos of British high streets throughout history, why resort to using AI generated images?

[Yesterday's Britain, A Better Britain. @YesterdaysBrit1]

How it was, not how it is.

[Jennifer Orton @hobbleit_jen]

Never been so happy to be wrong. Not only did we stay up, we beat Newcastle twice, came above them in the league and got a place in a European cup. What a day to be an #SAFC fan.

[Jennifer Orton @hobbleit_jen]

I won’t be shocked if we only last a season in the Premiership but get in Sunderland!!! #sunderlandafc #SunderlandtilIdie #SAFC

@abigailsolutely @NoahRayWrites Just to point out, Roald Dahl wasn’t the artist, he was the writer. The books were illustrated by Quentin Blake.
