My oldest kid just sent me an Instagram post about creepy characters on children's TV shows in the UK.
So I laughed and told them to Google Mr Noseybonk from Jigsaw.
And now everyone in our house is too traumatised to sleep.

Every time I re-read a Discworld book at the moment I find the commentary on society, justice, law and freedom more and more relevant.
Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

We were promised £350m a week for the NHS, writes the Bear. We got a staff exodus, patients stuck on trolleys and drug shortages.
Not a single Brexit promise kept.

First off, I have no issue raising funds to fight Cancer.
But why would anyone think damaging historic monuments in Scotland for attention is acceptable?
If you can, please report or tag agencies such as Historic Scotland to raise awareness. So demoralising 😞

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵
First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.
