My brilliant friend, @KaituhiHanna, wrote The Worlds Inside My Head for her beautiful boy, who has ADHD. I had the honour of copy editing it. I am biased but I think you should all buy a copy. https://t.co/9JI58bDeyl #amwriting #kidlit #adhd #neurodivergent

@Sabadell_Help @BancoSabadell Pues ahora ya no vale de nada. Voy a la comisaria, y intentaré llamaros luego para disputar los pagos.

@BancoSabadell ¿De qué sirve tener un número de emergencia si no hay agentes responsables? Esta noche me han robado la cartera y he llamado tres veces. Su sitio web se bloquea cada vez que intento cancelar mi tarjeta. Absolutamente pésimo y voy a cambiar de banco el lunes después

First British tourists of the summer season are here. Middle aged couple with a caravan that had a UKIP sticker in the window. Assumed I spoke English, asked for directions, I replied in French. The woman tutted, rolled her eyes and said,
"They don't even try to speak English"

As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯.

En 2022 apareció en Nueva Zelanda una biblia prohibida.

Tiene 4 siglos, le costó la vida a su creador y en sus páginas pone "Cometerás adulterio" y "Contemplad a Dios en su Gloria y su Culo Gordo".

Ok we all wanna bring back mammoths with cloning, but there are some weirdos I think we should also consider.

PROCOPTODON: giant pug-faced kangaroo with forward-facing eyes. We think it walked instead of hopping. Early Australians met it & I want to feel what they felt

the older I get, the more I understand that "acquire a number of similar things so we can put them in a row and admire them" is some kind of fundamental universal human impulse that underlies a great deal of our behaviour
