This is so accurate it hurts:

Who's Ready For The UK's Season Finale? | The Mash Report

But there are good things too:



There are lots of other amazing young girls - not just Malala or Emma Gonzalez, but here are three other young climate activists to start with. :)

And of course Bake Off.



I can't explain how much I love these two. And of course Prue's outfits.

(This apart from Good Omens which is what I live and breathe, and that isn't likely to change anytime soon. I have a rec list coming.)

Good Omens was delightful, and though I've not delved into its fanfic, it hasn't stopped me from enjoying the love story found there. On so many different levels.

As for the Bake Off? There's nothing better. I miss the Sue and Mel, but I can deal with the current cast. I love the show to bits!!

Oh but the fic... *waves hands helplessly* I was going to say I can't even begin to describe it, but then I am working on a HUGE rec list, so people can delve in. It'll all be clearly categorised so you might find something perfect for you. :)

See my immediate reaction was 'It's Mel and Sue'. That's the order they are in. Like 'Ant and Dec', or 'Laurel and Hardy'. They've been a duo for... twenty odd years now, so they'll crop up again somewhere else. Whereas Noel & Sandi are just a ridiculous combination that I'd never have expected and it works so well! <3

Anyway, good morning? Or late night? Anyway, you get my Bake Off icon. :)

I'm with those young people every inch of the way.

If you're on Facebook, would you like to join https://www.facebook.com/groups/CombatClimateChaos/

(Some of it duplicates my blog here, but other stuff is new)

Same here. Have practically been shoving my own young people out the door to go marching. Including the just-turned-14 year old. 'Go with your sisters! I'll write you a note for school!' Apparently not all parents have this attitude. ;)

And I shall join! I mostly have facebook to keep in touch with my Danish family and to share political memes, but am more than happy to add something more substantial. :)

Oswin's only five, so too young to make her own decisions, but as soon as she's old enough to say off her own bat "I want to go", then I'll volunteer to go with her (because she may be old enough to make that decision before she's old enough to travel on her own).

[elisi]

Well I'm sure she will love it once you deem her old enough - there are often a lot of activities for children/families, as lots of people bring young children.

Bake Off is delightful! I'm so glad Netflix is airing episodes weekly here in the States. It's a highlight of my week.

[elisi]

It's the highlight of our week too! Am thrilled that Netflix are so on the ball - goodness knows we need something in these dark times. <3

Your photo of Greta reminded me of this post I saw because Joss reblogged it: https://twitter.com/nattyover/status/1175150366033420293

Yes, the uptake has been AMAZING. The juxtapositions of ONE YEAR are incredible.

I really like Sandi and Noel - they really put the bakers at ease and care about them don’t they!

[elisi]

They do, it's adorable! <3 And Sandi is so upset every time they send someone home.

Thanks for linking the article :)

You're welcome. :)

OMG...so much happening all at once. And so much of it is GOOD (even as it seems HORRIBLE). Staggering after two to three years of unmitigated horror.

*HUGS*

[elisi]

Things are terrible, but we have good heroes.

*HUGS BACK*

The Mash Report is one of the few BBC programmes that I make a point to watch. It's what Have I Got News For You used to be.

[elisi]

Mmmmm. Yes, that's an excellent way of putting it.
