I’d already decided the walk home this afternoon was the most soaked I’d ever gotten in Cardiff rain and then I had to wade through a huge puddle halfway up my shins to get to small person’s after school and then wade back through it carrying him. In trainers! #CardiffRainySeason#USandUKpantsSoaked

🎵 They say there is an orange fash Sustained by hate and Russian cash, And if you vote for him he's gonna screw ya. He gave a speech and his brain went wrong; A singer's vexed that they played this song; But no-one reads the words to "Hallelujah"...

Oh yes, I realised after posting I wouldn’t reassure Nicole’s grandma anyway cos my partner and I aren’t married, oops. Not that anyone has ever commented on small person’s unmarried parental status…

Not that it will change your grandma’s mind and kind of anecdata but I know lots of academics (and others) whose children have mother’s last name and not dad’s (my child included). Also congratulations!

Happy to participate if it's useful.

Yup. Writing is thinking. So if you write a shitty first draft, you did some thinking and are on your way! If you got “AI” to write the draft, you haven’t thought AND now you’re trying to fix up what some non-thinking robot “thought.” You just put yourself 30 yards behind the starting line.

Congratulations!

Eve’s my mom’s first cousin so I always like to see people remembering her ☺️ (I saw her parents often in the summers growing up as my dad stayed in DC/MD)

Oh I know, I just enjoyed that two had to do with language (as with the nytimes one the last I only got cos that’s what was left 🤣)
