17! My grandma had a rotary phone, but I only played with it, never used it. No AOL bc not US, no check book and no waterbed. Still have many of these in my daily life as well xD

For today only (Dec 14) All Systems Red (1st book in The Murderbot Diaries) is on sale across all US ebook retailers for $2.99 (published by Tordotcom, edited by @leeharris.net cover art by Jaime Jones) www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

I got all the PTO I applied for, whoop! 2026 is gonna be busyyyyyy — Fontainebleau, Austria, Netherlands, Italy, Tecklenburg, and that's just until the middle of August!

Brunch this morning, now pizza dinner and musicals. What a way to spend a birthday. Amazing <3

PSA for everyone in what may even just remotely be a leader position: Don't do the shitty 'choose your teams'. One person will always be chosen last and that's fucking awful.

I wish I had the opportunity to see Tim Minchin as Judas live. Just like, once in my life. I adore his characterisation so much.

Klassenkamerad hat mir grad sein Spotify Wrapped geschickt. Platz 1: Dame. Musste kichern und an @schreibgeflugel.bsky.social denken. 🤭💛

Do I have folks who also suffer from POTS here, who can give me some of their fav hacks to survive a flare up/daily life?

Huge POTS flare up today - so I'm in bed with an electrolyte drink, salted pretzels, brain fog and rest. Original pla: study.

Me, but instead of rollers it's whenever I actually blow-dry and diffuse my curls. 😂

I got my Top Frog game by Yadco & Abo Toads! It also included two magnetic, stackable frogs with hats :3

Donesies! Went quite well, I think. Written exam next week and then my apprenticeship is over!

About to head into my practically finals, please keep me in your thoughts and wish me well!

Little ink to test some new techniques. Trying to get more textural and stuff.

Sagittarius: This is a good week for self care. And maybe some clean clothes, mouthwash, and a new personality.

Went to Circus Roncalli yesterday - no animals, just acrobats, dancers, clowns and magicians. Had an utter blast! If they ever stop close to you, it's def worth the money.

This #smallbusinesssaturday, switch from Amazon-owned Goodreads to an indie, anti-AI, female-founded alternative! Pagebound! We’re like if Goodreads & Reddit had a baby 💕 #booksky

I treated myself to a new perfume to wear during my final exam! It's quite heavy at first, but mellows out nicely. The top notes are bergamot, mandarin and pink pepper. Heart notes are juniper, fig, elemi and peppermint. Base notes are patchouli, animalic, cashmere and woods.

decided to put all my depressing shit on @mindboxset.bsky.social

is my mental health truly shit or am i just realising i'm nobody's priority (not even my own)

TFW you step into the Lego store and the workers immediately go 'Ah, you know your way around, right? BTW there's a plane set on the sales pile over here'. SKSGDKDGAK I love them so much.

I think one of my worst character traits is that I always feel like I owe ppl an explanation on why I do something, like delete a post. In reality I don't owe anybody and nobody gives a damn really. Is it the anxiety meds that gave me that revolutionary insight?

I am now 3 for 3 on non-binary people figuring out they're trans-masc within three years of knowing me. For two of these, I even got to witness them cracking the egg on being not cis. 🤭

I do adore scrolling through my gallery and finding random selfies my colleagues took while I was working :D

Apparently being stressed to nine hells means I'm watching Supernatural again. And apparently I am now older than Dean is at the start of this. I was 13 when I first watched this, omg.

what we mean when we say Pagebound is anti-AI

Studied to become an archaeologist - clashed with a lot of my professors about their antiquated views. Switched to Chinese studies, pandemic happened. Worked at a bakery and started talking to a regular who was an optician. Applied for a trial day and it stuck.

Fourth time this week that I've cried and just. Wished I could stop existing.

Whoop, I finally got my new driver's license! Took forever due to a system fuck up, but now I have all the important cards in my new name.

I am so incredibly bad at identifying my own emotions, it's baffling. I am definitely having An Emotion, and it's making me feel Very Not Good, but I could not tell you what it is I'm feeling. Jealously? Loneliness? Despair? Your guess is as good as mine! :D

Curtain of the day, even if there is no curtain. 🤭 And yes, this is the view from my seat - I scored a very early row 1 ticket, hehe.

The way I just caught myself wishing my audio book had subtitles. Neo, darling. That is called A Book. 😂

So, I made about 100 little key charms with guardian angels and handed them out at the con. Absolutely everyone loved them - I could hear the jingling of the little angel the entire weekend. And I also got gifted a lovely bracelet! It's rainbow, with a yellow cat charm and a little bell on it. <3

How to always have an answer for “what did you think of that book?” #booksky Pagebound keeps track of your Book Journey: from when you started reading to all of the posts & comments you made in the book forum, your progress updates, and your review.

I'm editing some selfies, and choosing which ones to get printed as Polaroids, and I'm just in awe of how amazing these people are. Kind, open, funny, and so /genuine/. I've had such a lovely time this weekend!

Easily the cutest picture to come out of this con! George and Alex are such delights, I am sobbing

Made it onto my plane to Paris! Tonight, I shall dine with the cast of BBC Versailles and then we have two lovely days full of panels, talks and fun. 🥰

It's always a fun time to realise just how exactly your disability disables you. /s (In my case, RSD and AuDHD)

Self-reflection! Well, yes. Definitely happening!

you know you're getting old when you have to ring your neighbour's doorbell because it's 11pm and they're having a garden party and it's so loud you can't hear your sleep podcast. (that, and you know. official peace at night starts at 10pm.)

Branding just gets me sometimes.

I turned my phone black and white and added a minimal launcher and I already like it so much better.

Thinking about trans people today and how they all deserve a bouquet of flowers for putting up with so much bullshit

I just had my first experience with someone ranting at me about how veganism is a hype and how it's not bad to abuse and kill animals, while I was peacefully trying to eat my pasta. Yikes.
