Fitness Coach Vanburen says, "A good Seasonal Fitness is Leaf Pile. So versatile! Can sniff leaf pile, dig in leaf pile, roll in leaf pile, pee in leaf pile. And more! Ask your Fitness Coach if Leaf Pile is right for you!"

this is an outstanding thread.

"You really have to stop making me laugh in the middle of things," says the nurse midway through my flu jab.

I've been listening to Laura Bates' "The New Age of Sexism" and just despairing. So many misogynist horrors, so much overlap with the far right and manosphere, so little attention being paid to any of it by the self-proclaimed defenders of women and girls.

Jeez. Waking up with a whole new family pawing at you.

What is the point of these people?

Since when has the voice of the Croydon tram sounded like Brian Aldridge? @dumteedum.bsky.social

Fluorescent cycling jackets have dyes that absorb invisible ultraviolet (UV) light and re-emit visible light. This UV can pass through clouds & there's lots on a dull day. So the jacket gets a brightness boost. This is also what "optical brighteners" in laundry powder do (see pic). Also scorpions!

A quick cut-out-and-keep guide to every story about marginalised people.* *also applies to protesters against genocide and catastrophic climate decisions

Yaaaaay! It's Octobotber!

*sigh* Bluesky is Blueskying again. Here's that link again, this time visible to everyone. Trans people's experiences are not adult content, mods. www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/communitygal...

Oxford Street's closed from Regent St so the Xmas lights can be put up. They've got the whole of October still.

Nessie's gone on holiday.

Dude a few seats over complaining about how difficult it is to claim expenses for foreign coverage trips. Sir, this is my third attempt to get my DSE eye test reimbursed.

This is something we disabled people call "inspiration porn". It's incredibly degrading. Because it shouldn't be about whether this disabled person can make it up this step. It should be why is it inaccessible in the first place, so they have to struggle? Don't cheer us – help make it accessible.

“why don’t we make buildings pointlessly beautiful anymore?” LOOK AT THIS. just LOOK at THIS.

Second and third down have Opinions about all of this. Little one on the bottom left is just happy to be included.

It's always been a wealth issue dude.

The veggie / vegan roast in the work canteen tonight is butternut squash, beetroot and chestnut stew. Had dyed the potatoes, carrots, and greens that rich maroon colour by the time I started eating. Remind me of this when I panic in the loo over the next few days.

"You can tell it's Roman," says @wmarybeard.bsky.social, standing in the middle of a set of sandy ruins in rural Algeria, "because of all the winged willies."

Hah. This is perfect.

Yup. Decided the landing was too messy to keep doing it.

"Do you still bake?" asks one of the laziest people I've ever had to work with. "Because it would be really nice if you brought some in."

This dog was spotted bopping to a beat so sick, even her vibes are contagious. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: ws.take)

That settles it. I have to get the Eurostar to work from now on.

I've literally pulled a muscle laughing at this.

Petition to name the next London express bus service Tarquin.

This is why I was originally supposed to be born in October.

There's a man on this train who sounds just like Herrick. Don't dare look round to check.

Like so many other groups denied full personhood based on a single facet of ourselves, it seems utterly ludicrous to point to a single aspect of a full and beautiful human being and say “remove that and you’d be great.” We already fucking are

Oh my god. Drop everything and look at this.

Ooooh, thread.

The world's most popular crowdfunder, and the world's least popular, run consecutively by the same company. While all the attention - and tickets - went to the big backers, the vast majority were *incredibly altruistic*, throwing in just £1 - the lowest tier pledge, which offered no rewards.

@ninaneedsspace.bsky.social NINAAAAA!!!!

This is every Uni of Bratfud student party I ever went to. Including the ones in the student union.

I really hope Daisy's doing well after she divorced Tim over Gamergate.

true facts. I am cool with the way I am actually. however the expectation that I should not be this way makes life difficult

I have to CHOOSE?!? But I love them bo- oh, okay, thick-skulled ones. They remind me of me.

Careful now. They're addictive.

We’re heartbroken by the death of dear Jon. Many have asked how to help. Please consider supporting our effort to honor his legacy at Bookseller Crow. Share and donate if you can. Thank you. www.gofundme.com/f/bookseller...

I admit to not knowing any of the other dudes, but I might have chirped "Le Maitre!" a bit loudly for the early office.

Cooler mornings = everyone in the bus steaming in full winter gear with the windows clamped shut, the heating on, and me stripping down to my T-shirt and still being too warm. Add being the only non-manspreader in this row of seats and the dude behind me snoring loudly and I am *grouchy*.

Overhearing people who should really know better telling someone to "just ChatGPT it". One of them then calls Copilot "our AI", like it's not part of a software licensing deal to their company.

The more things change etc etc. Cicero, at the polls in 63 BCE, pulling the sort of stunt we wouldn't be wholly surprised to see in certain elections these days (from @wmarybeard.bsky.social's SPQR):

I can intermittently smell curling tongs burning hair today.

Pretty much this entire thread right here is it.

Took the opportunity to delete my account entirely.

Truly I feel seen

How could we have expected Red to fight the Time War without falling in love with this little fluff?
