When people say European houses retain heat, I always thought of that as just the air inside—but it’s the building itself too. Even with my aircon running full blast today there was too much heat already in the brick to get it below 27° and it’s now 29° inside (26° out) with all the windows open.

congrats deutsche bahn that’s the worst anyone’s ever done it

When I am prime minister (my turn any day now) I will make it illegal for shops to attach all the bras in a multipack together so you can’t try them on without the others hanging off your back like an amorous triffid.

Okay I did admittedly use two hints on the final item but I still feel pretty smug about this. Object five is WILD today.

Friends, this is so quick and easy and important. Enter your postcode for a draft template. There's a government petition to sign too! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

Ironically the only ice lollies that aren’t complete ass are Bussy Pops, and I can’t find them anywhere this year 😭

Signed up to urban sports club and have been doing bouldering and aerial classes and I feel like I’ve been let in on a secret. exercise?? can be fun??????? sounds extremely fake but early indications are very promising.

Posted it over on tumblr and gonna post it here, too: "short fic is beautiful, doodles are fantastic, fandom is not a place for only polished megaworks" Speak the words, my child, an enter fandom. #capdoesart #fandom #fanfic #fanart

Really loved this story—creating ways for long-term patients to get out of clinical-feeling wards and enjoy the outside is such a valuable and worthwhile thing to do, both to improve their overall quality of life and for recovery outcomes. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Drowning can be preceded by subtle-appearing signs. If you've never been taught what to look for, please read the article. You may save a life!

Every single time I have, against my better instincts, accepted a proofreading job, I’ve opened up the document to find it requires extensive copy-editing. For which I am not being paid 🙃

I feel like when you’re starting over as an adult you should at least get to start from the middle. But no.

Can’t go to an event I’ve been looking forward to for WEEKS because someone else decided to go to another event I attended while they were still sick and now I am too. I’m so frustrated 😭

I ate the most insane amount of absolutely incredible food with @imeldamajeure.bsky.social and @mkay.wtf at 963 in Berlin tonight and it was all so good. Genuinely one of the best meals of my life. They pretty much had to roll me home and I have gone straight to bed because I’m too full to think.

Had an exceedingly lovely weekend and still thinking about how cute I felt in my froofy pink princess dress and @bennettmckenna.bsky.social’s very chivalrously donated leather jacket 🥰

Sometimes someone reblogs your post on tumblr and you go oh, those are some mildly interesting tags, so you go to their blog and discover they’re doing Beatles time travel AIDS crisis discourse, and you think ah, no, despite your tags I think there is no potential for connection here.

Hey pals, I’m looking for videos or podcasts on the theme of inspiration, building intrinsic motivation, finding purpose, hopefulness, being content, that sort of thing. Anything that makes you feel inspired/hopeful! Does anyone have any suggestions? Book and music recs also v much appreciated!

Apparently the Heated Rivalry girlies (gn) are writing BDSM AUs? Nature is healing 🥲 All this time I’ve been saying we need protected nature reserves where they aren’t being outcompeted by omegaverse and it turns out Men’s Hockey RPF has been doing this vital conservation work for us all along 🫡

I’ve just badly fucked up my hair dye (was close to growing out the greys, decided to try to bleach a few strands, terrible idea, never do this) and now I’m so sad, please send me cute animal pics 🥺

Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.

Do you ever just watch bironic’s multifandom Starships fanvid and experience Emotions about sci-fi. because I sure do. m.youtube.com/watch?v=bTGd...

I was going to pace myself and stretch #Deadloch s2 out over several days but it’s so fucking good and I’ve had such a rubbish mental health week so instead I’m rolling around in it like a croc in body parts. The Kates are absolute geniuses.

Starfury continues to be awful to guests and fans shocker: www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/wha... Just further evidence of Sean Harry being awful—he was horrifically rude and unpleasant to the OFMD cast at Republic of Pirates. I wouldn’t even consider going to another Starfury con.

Hey could someone go to 2003 real quick and get me one of the big veggie spring rolls absolutely dripping in oil I used to get from the kiosk at the train station after hanging out with my friends. Thanks, appreciate it 💖

Every winter I go “woe, the darkness is all-encompassing and nary a ray of light penetrates my cave of despair” and every March I go “wow these windows are fucking filthy” and marvel at the difference once I’ve cleaned them. Setting myself an alarm to do them in October and January this year. 🧽🪟

I have some thoughts about how deeply shitty it is to willfully replicate the misogynistic trauma trans men grew up with being perceived as girls and told that we’re inferior for our gender, by continuing to tell us that we’re inferior for our gender for being men, too.

Just discovered I can buy a 10kg bag of glass filling beads so I can make a weighted pillow heavier than anything anyone will sell me to put on my chest and crush the anxiety out of me. About to be unstoppable 👍

Did you know if you are not very cool you can just put on the album Dummy by Portishead. Problem solved.

What's your favourite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long? I really like wordy songs so I thought finding long titles would be easy but apparently not? I think my current favourite in the category is A Complete List Of Fears Ages 5-28 (Approx) by The Yellow Dress

@disastershipblonde.bsky.social V I just dreamed that Con O’Neill was on a show looking like 30 years younger and I went “God, they must be letting him moisturise again. He looks so *juicy*.” and then immediately had to go find you and tell you that yea verily Hornigold lives within all our hearts.

This is *fascinating* (h/t @mkay.wtf)

I require a tug 😏

It's a beautiful morning to be bisexual and annoying

I wish July lasted as long as January. I’m so done with winter.

DO THE HORRORS NEVER CEASE????

Thissss. At *best* it makes you sound like a Ferengi.

I would be such a rubbish sense8. I’m bringing absolutely nothing to the table. Everyone else in my cluster just like 😒 would it really be such a loss if Whispers gets this one

Okay I have bemoaned not having a bath for two years now and last week I cracked and bought an enormous folding bucket that fits in the shower. Verdict: the bucket is amazing. I live there now. #mybucket #getinthesoup

Started rewatching sense8 and once again Bae Doona if you are free on Thursday or in fact any other day give me a call so I can take you out and stare at you and buy you a fancy drink with a parasol in it.

This lady is ca8ty on Instagram (mysteryfashionist is the interviewer) and she has SO much cool stuff!! I just spent ten minutes browsing her posts. I love her shirts and jumpers with little characters interacting with the fabric. www.instagram.com/ca8ty/

My fandom cup floweth over, y’all 🥰 Found out tonight that wilfriede0815 recorded podfic of Murder Is A Love Language, my (E! noncon!) Deadloch sex comedy fic, and made it SO much sexier and funnier than the original. I love it and am feeling all fuzzy about it 🥰 archiveofourown.org/chapters/201...

Morning reblog because look at it!! My lil guys!! I went to bed with such a big smile on my face over this ☺️☺️☺️

The wonderful @emcolbs.bsky.social just sent me the glorious picture she drew for my winning craft fair commission bid—it’s the final scene from Hands Full of Flowers, my steddyhands hanahaki slowburn 🌸 I adore it and am so so honoured and grateful that em was willing to take on such a huge piece!

I am shocked—shocked!—to discover there is yaoi going on in this establishment!

Just signed up! I’ve been doing a habit pledge with gywo for the past two years (6 more days of writing to hit my goal this year!) and I cannot overstate how great it’s been for my productivity. Highly, highly recommended for anyone who needs a little gentle accountability!

Excited for this! @siren-events.bsky.social always puts together a fantastic set of people and I love hearing about the work everyone behind the scenes put in 🍊
