R to @BootstrapCook: PS the spoon was from a set of three from H&M Home, but a few years ago now. It’s one of my faves too, I’m glad you like it! 🥄

R to @BootstrapCook: *no purchase necessary, no catch, just have it, with love from me and Bluebird 💙 It was important to all of us that we did something that was accessible and affordable to everyone, because I know from my own experiences that not everyone has the cash to spare for a cookbook. 💛

Just made a guy standing at the train station properly laugh out loud because:

Me: Hey Siri, would you set a timer for 9 minutes for me please?

Siri: [sets timer]

Me: Cheers Siri, you’re a star

My son laughs at me for this too, but, I can’t be the only person who does this?!

R to @BootstrapCook: (It took a few goes for Siri to stop responding to that with super interesting information about stars, btw, but I can at least tell my Orions Belt from my Pegasus now. Manners cost nothing but they can be incredibly rewarding, apparently!)

R to @KrisJS74: Oh I do this too. And self service checkouts. I miss the early iterations that used to wish you a good day as you left 🤣

R to @blades_mabel: Nothing wrong with any of it, I’m fiercely proud of my background, the context here is that working class writers are sorely underrepresented in mainstream media and publishing, for many reasons.

R to @samhallam: Well I guess I’m very sorry that the early demise of my immigrant grandfather has turned out to be so personally inconvenient for your petty purity politics metric, Random Reply Guy In Seattle. Take care now.

👋 In the middle of a horrendous arthritis flare (poxy cold damp weather!) so sorry for being a bit quiet. Agony + sleep deprived irritability = unwise snarky tweets, so figured I’d give this burning trash fire a swerve til it calms down. Hope you’re all ok out there in the wild!

R to @Nexxo00: I keep having to remind myself she was smaller than the cat when we brought her home… the cat is still the boss though 🤣
