@unbounders I was 42 last Monday. I decided to reread the whole Hitchhikers 'Trilogy' this year, so starting on Towel Day seems particularly appropriate!
To commemorate Towel Day, we are giving one lucky reader the chance to win a towel and a copy of 42: The Wildly Improbable Ideas of Douglas Adams (to be delivered in August 2023).
Reply to and retweet this post to be entered into the competition.

First they came for the refugees, then they came for drag queens and trans men & women, next up was protesters, then they came for lawyers, next was the turn of climate presenters and national treasures, and now they’ve come for sports presenters.
You don’t have to agree with all of the above, but you do need to defend their rights, because if you don’t, then when they come for you too, who’ll still want to stand at your side.
Put aside your prejudices, hatred and fear is their weapon of choice, rise above it, you’re better that this, and them.
The Government are systematically targeting dissent and silencing criticism, they’re controlling our public broadcaster, and the narrative, because that’s all they have left.
This is a pivotal moment, a slice of history, you only need to decide if you want to be able to hold your head high and say that you stood against tyranny and creeping fascism, or forever regret enabling it.

@Tesco just opened a tin of dog food in jelly- got one chunk of meat and the rest was solid jelly. It's expensive enough feeding dogs without getting any meat!
I've just signed Joan's and @FreefromTorture's open letter to Suella Braverman to say "Don’t forget the lessons of the past. We need safe routes for refugees, not scapegoating."
Will you join me?

in the next year let’s stop creating things for mass consumption and start creating things for a handful of people to say “this is completely unhinged and I LOVE it.” make whatever deranged things are in your weird heart
@EverydayKnitter When there's a 2week backlog at sorting offices and 1st class parcels are taking a wk to arrive, and 2nd class up to 14 days, is it any wonder small businesses are having to find alts? Half my working day seems to be taken up with people, wanting to know where their goods are.
I hope you have at least one person who breathes life into you. I hope you find the time to pursue all your weird passions, stay up late reading for no reason whatsoever, drink deep of the joy of things. I hope you stay fascinated and unafraid.
