MINI THREAD: I'd always wanted to do a comedy podcast with friends, just shooting the shit n that. In 2017 I recorded one called Sooz On Film for a few episodes where I was joined by guests to talk about movies, it was fun but I only did for a few months.
Just after Edinburgh 2018 @_chris_stokes said would I be up for being on HIS new podcast with @Masudmilas (who I didn't really know but had heard wasn't a jerk or anything). We recorded our pilot (I just looked it up) on November 8th 2018.
It was called Mystery on the Rocks and we'd bring together how Masud makes ace cocktails, Chris loves real-life unsolved mysteries and I love shouting. I mentioned I could write a song for each episode and perform it at the end. WHY DID I DO THAT!?
THREAD: How the characters from Thomas the Tank Engine have been coping in the pandemic.
THOMAS: Really chuffed with the news of the two different vaccines. Has tweeted “pump it in to my veins!” several times and is dismayed that each tweet returns fewer RTs than the last.
HENRY: Flounced off Twitter in rage after getting criticised for tweeting “old people die, big deal” back in the summer. Really regrets it now since they thought of a really good Tiger King joke in mid-August.
PERCY: Initially baked obsessively then over the summer just posted endlessly about how rule-breakers were “ruining everything”. Is now just posting memories from a year ago hanging out with friends and captioning them all “heartbreaking x”.
A lot of articles pointing out how "unity can win an election" based on how the left and centre unified to elect Biden yet these articles wag their fingers at the left. The left unified, huns. You said it yourselves. I agree with the sentiment but get some self-awareness.
I cannot describe how buoyed I am by Biden's win. I pointed out none of my misgivings about him in the months leading up to the election (haha VERY aware I'm a Brit with no vote). If centrists had treated the left the same here a year ago we wouldn't HAVE a Tory government.
I will ALWAYS understand issues people have with my specific ideologies to a point, I just wish they would extend that same understanding to the left. Solidarity, comrades.
