In 10 years time, I suspect we will be facing an Administrative Staff crisis. There will be enough jobs to go around but hyperspecialism into STEAM careers will disincentivise 'general' work. Just a thought.

I'm glad social media feels less addictive for me. However, it highlights what boredom truly feels like. Clearly I need to dust off some hobbies.

Adult content in some ways should have a regulatory body akin to gambling, allowing those who believe they have a problem (or who do) the ability to 'self-ban'. With an ability to remove the ban but with hoops to jump through to do so.

It's fucking August again.

Rest in peace Ozzy. You did Birmingham proud.

I am very tempted to set up a series of events for gay singles to meet others. However, the only (possibly hilarious) name I can think of is "Gay Singles In your area". Who knows, maybe it would be a marketing moment.

Every train station should have a resident Mr Bobby. That is all.

Word of the day is ‘swullocking’, from 19th-century East Anglian dialect: sultry, sweltering, and sudiferous (sweat-inducing).

This is an Impossibly scary thing to happen right on our doorstep. Pride is a protest. Never forget that.

"How does it mean to watch that?" "I don't know. I actually have to pee so bad, but thank you." #Eurovision

Whatever cosplay convention Montenegro is at I'm interested #Eurovision

Calling ASD a “disease” is stigmatizing and without basis. Tracking people with ASD in a database is fascistic and terrifying.

Being LGBTQ+ and attending social groups exposed me to the hidden privilege of being cis. But, also we can't let the rights of our family be taken away brick by brick. Trans rights are human rights at the end of the day.

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

Having excluded all trans people from proceedings before it, the Supreme Court decides in favour of For Some Women Scotland.

Firstly: Trans women are women. This will never change. Secondly: This ruling is going to have horrible consequences and sets back trans rights. Lastly: The LGB part of our queer community needs to show up and support our trans family. They're going to need us more than ever.

Support and protect at all costs!… LGBTQIA+

Great. Now I need to inject bleach into my eyes.

Isn’t catchy enough. How about the #trumpslump or if referencing the stock market the #trumpdump

Normalising the term 'The Trump Recession' is a small but significant thing that all of us can do. Just as 'The Farage Riots' hit its intended target so this will smack him where it hurts - square in his ego. #TrumpRecession

Local gas engineer, Kevin Finger, was unfortunate enough to be the target of one of the large birds bowel movements. He was stuck for 20 minutes before evenentually being dug out by people with shovels.

Amidst rumours about rats 'the size of cats' being seen over the border in Birmingham, as a result of the ongoing bin strikes, we've been alerted to an even *bigger* threat. Alarming reports suggest that some pigeons, left to gorge themselves on discarded food waste, have grown to the size of cows.

Reminder: For the 3 days following the changing of the clocks, Bearwood Council will NOT be issuing fines for unpunctual observing of the teatime alarm. This gives residents sufficient time to recover from tealag and adjust to the new time.

This is a very unnerving situation. More noise needs making about this.

Keir Starmer takes public HIV test in push to destigmatise testing for virus

You will see Bearwood featured on Sky Max tonight as Ross Kemp encounters our local organised crime gulls.

Happy birthday to me

Seems like a reasonable combo.

Happy new year everyone!! May 2025 be the year of connection and positivity!!

Unpopular opinion: too much emphasis is put on sport/football access and not enough is put on access to culture. It's a game of balance, not either/or.

Who believes in new years resolutions?

Merry Christmas everyone! May joy be everlasting. For those whose Christmas may not be merry, or for those who don't celebrate - I hope the coming weeks are peaceful and joyous.

#BTown is back! Fancy coming to Birmingham for a gig night like few others? Come on down! @timsenna.bsky.social www.seetickets.com/event/b-town...

Reaching out for connection with those you thought you knew. There should be a word for that.

The most stressful parts of Christmas: Gift buying and food shopping.

Sometimes dreams can float past, Like counting sheep, I see them jump. Am I waiting for the future to happen, Or am I stuck? I am hoping to see something. Like a vision. Like the last. #poetry #BlueskyThinking

Spotify Wrapped baby 🎀 Anyone sharing any of these with me in their top 5s? #spotifywrapped

As ever, I am living up to the indie reputation

Just had a brilliant haircut by #QuartersBarberAcademy #Birmingham Tell me your thoughts. Pardon the rather stern face.

Smiling is one of the most attractive things a person can do.

(QUIETLY, ALMOST A WHISPER) I also feel we should be wary about treating Bluesky like a race to ever greater numbers, because that mindset did contribute to what went wrong with Twitter. But a comedian is very much not the person to be lecturing on self-promotion. That’s why I’m whispering.
