I guess NOBODY really knows where my husband’s Edinburgh-bound flight was rerouted to.

It took me almost an hour of excuses and rationalisation to get to the point where I could self-justify eating a sippy-cup full of chocolate chips for dinner, but the important point is that I got there. Bottoms up, y’all.

I’m starting a new series featuring various amusing royal epithets throughout history. I’m leaving out the Balds, Shorts, & Lames, though, because 1. I don’t like making fun of people for things they can’t help; and 2. there’s just a goldmine of other stuff to make fun of. Ready?

Copronymus (Constantine V of Byzantium)! His foes called him Copronymus (Dung-Named) because he apparently befouled the holy water during his baptism (and also was later a militant iconoclast). So calling someone you don’t like ‘Mr Poopy-Pants’ is part of a noble tradition.

Hey: Quaker tattoos ARE a thing! RT @SarahJBiggs: an associate of mine recently informed me that the notion of a ‘badass Quaker’ tattoo was inherently fallacious (I guess he assumed that I was contemplating such a tattoo). To which, my Friend, I reply: teapaw.org/SarahJBiggs/status/156…

People doubted that Truth Social would amount to much but it has already published a former president's written confession of a federal crime.

I know you’ve all been breathlessly awaiting a new instalment in my long-running series ‘Things I Have Found in My House’. Today’s discovery comes courtesy of our electrician, who found this 1960s necktie inside a newel post. How? Why? I am consumed with curiosity. Your thoughts?

My friends! I’ve missed you lovely people so much! I’ve lots to catch up on but I’ll start slow with this pic of my daughter Eleanor & her cat Arsinöe II (Ptolemaic queen in Sunken Cities: upi.com/News_Photos/view/upi…). I can’t wait to hear all the latest from my Twitter comrades.

One of our art preparators just got a tattoo of a ruler on her arm because she was tired of pulling out her massive tape measure to make tiny adjustments during installation. That is so metal that I’m going to use hashtags for once. #TeamGwen #ArtForLife

I got @BLMedieval’s Twitter address wrong. I cannot believe that I did that. I mean, I’ve been sitting here staring at this tweet for like 10 minutes and I’ve got nothing else in my head. I got @BLMedieval WRONG.
As I may have mentioned about 800 times, I had to have my knees replaced this last year. They were pretty much total teardowns. But the most fun part of renovations is coming up with a new decorative scheme, so I did this. Oh, yes; I did. @julianpharrison @bl_medieval

I’m doing/planning medievally symbolic tattoos to commemorate my various surgeries as any right-thinking person would do. So let’s talk gallbladder, guys. That humour was yellow bile, right? Choleric? How does one represent this? I’m open to all suggestions. @blmedieval

if you could sing along to every song last night it’s time to ensure your retirement plans are in a good place
my main takeaway from the Super Bowl halftime show is that if the performers you love keep using the word ‘still’, you are old

I thought it was awesome. I just so distracted by the likeness that I spent the rest of the show going ‘seriously, you guys, was that Lorenzo?’ and annoying everybody.
