I have been forced to listen to both The Beatles & Billy Joel in the last 2 days. Is that a human rights violation?

You know what's fun about migraines? Please, tell me if you do.

I don't remember posing for this

Pass it on

I don't know why exactly but Broom People makes me think of Steve. I've been listening to The Sunset Tree a lot since seeing The Mountain Goats a few weeks ago. Wish he'd been at the concert with us. Long distance has its challenges.

These are younger millennial songs. Excuse me but some of us are 40. It also depends where you are in the world. I am Australian so yes, we're influenced by the US but we have our own (often better) music too here. Not to mention the rest of the world!

I think sometimes I need to remind myself that I can't actually be friends with everyone, some people are just not worth my time. I am having an experience that is frustrating. Sometimes people are just annoying & it's got nothing to do with me! (This is not about any of my friends, I love you all)

Today is my 5 year anniversary with my beloved boyfriend and my heart is overflowing with love. I just wish we could spend the day together. I haven't seen him since January. Long distance can be hard.

I was telling my spouseman about Jane Eyre. He wanted to know why I would read a book with so many distressing themes. I said it's one of the classics! "So is Grave of the Fireflies!" How can I have a discussion about the literature of the Brontë sisters with this man? Impossible.

Honestly I don't see the fucking point.

It is 3:15am on Sunday morning. I can't sleep. I have slept one night out of the last week.

Doctor Who The Mandalorian Daria The Office The Librarians Falling Skies Care Bears Futurama Warehouse 13 Primeval Jam and Jerusalem Gavin and Stacey Spaced Eureka Ascension of a Bookworm

Don't chop the dinosaur, daddy! It's 3am and I haven't slept so this is hilarious right now.

The absolute fucking irony of a local market using genAI to promote Bee Month with a fucking hideously ugly poster. Trust me, bees would hate it. What's wrong with fucking clip art and some big colourful letters?

I think that now I've gotten back into my journaling habit, I am going to clean up and ink a fountain pen. Probably one of my Al-Stars. I look forward to this.

Multiple dog parks in Perth have been deliberately rat baited. Is the world not fucked enough right now? And this is all over, not just in one area. I've seen posts from NOR and SOR. So is it one evil person driving all over or multiple evil people just happening to be doing it at once?

It seems I have returned to the land of not being able to sleep. Annoying.

I'm reading Jane Eyre for the first time. I saw the National Theatre play during lockdown so I do know the story. I am spending half my time yelling "he locked his wife in the attic!" while Rochester tries to befriend Jane. The writing is beautiful but this is a horror story, not a romance!

There really is nothing quite like the feeling of finishing a really good book. I don't feel quite ready to do anything else yet.

Don't get me wrong, fuck the Pope & Catholicism, but it would be extremely funny if the US broke from the Vatican to appease an insane and evil man. It really is all just a case of history repeating. So does that mean we'll have another Reformation?

Everything is behind a pay wall. Everything is a subscription service. Everything is a payment. Everything has a terrible cost. The world is on fire and I am so overwhelmed all the time. I feel so trapped in my own life. I genuinely don't know how to keep going most days.

The Mountain Goats were amazing but multiple people hit me and caused me immense pain. I was in a wheelchair. I thought it would be a safe gig. The audience at Kneecap were more considerate & honestly better vibes.

I present to you - Dogbus. She has 2 more windows on her left side. Oh my poor Mabel.

Sometimes I forget how important it is to be able to just watch The Office to help my regulation. It is somewhat frustrating that my spouseman finds it too "cringe" to watch often enough for me. I've watched 6 episodes today. It's really really helped.

Mabel is spending the day at the hospital again. Being a dog owner influences literally every single decision I make in life and has since I met Gimli. As horrendously stressful as it all is, my dogs mean the world to me. And yes, I only have 1 right now but my boys are in my heart forever.

My anxiety isn't great lately. Oh, do you think it could be related to Mabel off to see another specialist tomorrow about her heart? Probably part of it. Probably not being able to eat much isn't helping either. And still pain from fucking up my foot. And and and. There's always something.

We made it to 20%! Huge thank you to everyone sharing and pledging. We can do this! I hope it will be a beacon for generations of Palestinian writers of fantasy, sci-fi, and horror for years to come. www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

🎶 Cult classic, not best seller. 🎶 I really do wonder how a straight laced nerd like myself is so obsessed with The Streets & Kneecap? Original Pirate Material is still immaculate. I'm having a bit of a meltdown & yet Mike Skinner is acceptable noise to my brain?

I went to finishing school.

Is it called Good Friday because Judas had a good time with his new found wealth? I don't imagine Jesus was having a good day. I spent the day recovering from a migraine which is definitely better than being crucified.

Woo, new Kneecap song to listen to before my Irish class tonight. I do need to work on my spelling

I think my favourite quote from Heartbreak High is "I don't want to be a carpenter like Jesus, I want to be a plumber like Super Mario!" I grew up with the original show and the later season were filmed where we hung out as teens. It gave me big feelings to watch the modern iteration.

Honestly I intensly dislike Amerie Wadia, she constantly makes bad choices and hurts people. I am overall enjoying Heartbreak High but she's the worst.

What an unfair universe this is that "incarcerated" does not refer to being turned into a crab as punishment

Lá fhéile Pádraig sona duit! I have a zine all about the similarities I see between two supernatural critters: one from Ireland and one from Palestine. You can name your own price for it— including free! #FairyTaleTuesday soniasulaiman.itch.io/paranormal-p...

Mabel's heart stopped 15 mins into her 3 hour surgery. They were able to revive her and decided it was safest to wake her and cancel the surgery. She's going to see the heart doctor in a few weeks & we'll go from there. Today was one of the hardest days of my life.

Croissants are my one weakness

Oh ffs, I didn't include any Nikki games. my9games.com/s/0d163cdc24...

1. I refuse to watch a Firefly reboot with Adam fuckwit Baldwin 2. I have fractured multiple bones in my foot & Mabel has surgery in 2 days 3. Australia should not be supporting the US in bombing Iran 4. Fuck Israel 5. Ballet & opera are more important than cinema & you will die on this hill

Hey @sschulze.bsky.social here's a thing you'll like 😘

Mabel is at the animal hospital for the day. So I grabbed my laptop to do some writing while she's out. Can I fucking focus? No, of course not. I'm too goddamn anxious worrying about my girl. It's the pre-surgery x-ray today. The specialist anaesthetist has worked out their best options for her.

"You don't want to grow a depression beard. You want to find an informed consent clinic and ask about estradiol."

Thinking about the Iranian soccer players. This was correct then and its correct now @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social. How small we made ourselves.

Oh hey fellow writers, what cloud storage are people using these days? I did have all my writing on Google Drive but I don't want them to use it to train their evil AI. I want to be able to access my writing on my phone and my laptop and my PC. #writing

Can those of us who don't vote for fascists please be allowed to pay reasonable prices for petrol? I am sick of these fuckwits actively making the world worse and unaffordable. I am furious that evil men run the world.

THREAD. 3 & 1/4 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he'd been living, in rural Cornwall, & decided he wanted to live with us instead. We decided to call him Jim. This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st 2022

I really think a lot of today's problems can be blamed on Henry 8th. He should have been divorced, beheaded, died, not his wives. It's his fault we have Evangelicals trying to bring on the end of days. More reasons to abolish the monarchy.

I'm sorry not sorry about what I said, I do love the lyric "I was prêt-à-manger" though I do wonder if the double entendre is noticed by those unaware of the overpriced sandwich chain. How well is it known outside of the UK?
