@mimecast We ended up with two Human Errors in our staff costume contest, but I prefer to think of it as twice the awesomeness.

I guess NOBODY really knows where my husband’s Edinburgh-bound flight was rerouted to.

@a_lolbrarian It’s good to know I’ve got someone in my corner in situations like this.

It took me almost an hour of excuses and rationalisation to get to the point where I could self-justify eating a sippy-cup full of chocolate chips for dinner, but the important point is that I got there. Bottoms up, y’all.

Copronymus (Constantine V of Byzantium)! His foes called him Copronymus (Dung-Named) because he apparently befouled the holy water during his baptism (and also was later a militant iconoclast). So calling someone you don’t like ‘Mr Poopy-Pants’ is part of a noble tradition.

I’m starting a new series featuring various amusing royal epithets throughout history. I’m leaving out the Balds, Shorts, & Lames, though, because 1. I don’t like making fun of people for things they can’t help; and 2. there’s just a goldmine of other stuff to make fun of. Ready?

@SingItPretty It was such a relief to discover that I was not alone in this!

@SarahJBiggs That sound has driven me to distraction for YEARS! Thanks for sharing this. 🦊🦊 🦊☺️

Ever noticed that weird shrieking bird (?) sound used in EVERY episode of Midsomer Murders? I decided to investigate during my recovery and discovered I am not the only one obsessing over this: boards.straightdope.com/t/midsomer-mur…. It’s a fox, apparently! Here at 0:38: youtu.be/J6NuhlibHsM

Hey: Quaker tattoos ARE a thing! RT @SarahJBiggs: an associate of mine recently informed me that the notion of a ‘badass Quaker’ tattoo was inherently fallacious (I guess he assumed that I was contemplating such a tattoo). To which, my Friend, I reply:

Apropos of nothing, an associate of mine recently informed me that the very notion of a ‘badass Quaker’ tattoo was inherently fallacious (I gather he assumed that I was contemplating such a tattoo). To which, my Friend, I reply:

@crfontaine Oh my God; I think your warning came too late! They’ve already resealed the newel post! I’m still in the midst of re-plastering the downstairs loo so I could theoretically carve out some sort of niche for this most holy of protective neckwear. Please advise!

@SarahJBiggs Standard of the Long Gold Snake, protector of households. Do not remove!

I know you’ve all been breathlessly awaiting a new instalment in my long-running series ‘Things I Have Found in My House’. Today’s discovery comes courtesy of our electrician, who found this 1960s necktie inside a newel post. How? Why? I am consumed with curiosity. Your thoughts?

@janarl2tuc It’s a toss-up, honestly (although as Eleanor’s mum I am admittedly partial). But these two are so insanely in love with each other that 90% of my photos feature them both, so I don’t have to decide! Rescue cats are the best, aren’t they?

My friends! I’ve missed you lovely people so much! I’ve lots to catch up on but I’ll start slow with this pic of my daughter Eleanor & her cat Arsinöe II (Ptolemaic queen in Sunken Cities: upi.com/News_Photos/vi…). I can’t wait to hear all the latest from my Twitter comrades.

People doubted that Truth Social would amount to much but it has already published a former president's written confession of a federal crime.

@bl_magnacarta @julianpharrison This is for sale, gentlemen. Your thoughts?

@Paige_alicious Thinking of you.
