Way too high a % of my not actually that junior a job is replying to emails with 'here is the guidance on the website [link]' like would people not even do ONE search first before emailing a human being?!

Kate Spade discontinuing their novelty line... the economy is truly dying (also isn't this what they're primarily known for, why)

Some people seem to be falling for comedy's George 4acres. Please I fancied him from afar before that was even his name yet.

hey so when are we all going to trainspotting the musical

someone bookmarked my work and described it as 'cracked' and I had to look up whether or not that's good (it is) 👵👵👵

it took four months

Apparently there is only one thing that could actually make me care about league football, and somehow that thing is Oasis

even in that guardian how dogs became the new babies article it talks about human instinct to nurture. I don't want kids, pets or even plants. I don't like looking after anything real like that. It makes me feel like such a freak sometimes, like I'm missing something instinctual everyone should have

so babestation started from frustrated gamers dispatch-media.com/the-last-day...

My husband started binge-watching Will Shakespeare Life and Times (1978) and I am now also hooked. Tim Curry is gorgeous and my god, the sheer amount of Acting going on in this show could by itself power the National Grid

Now, will I manage this week to both deliver the big thing that's been keeping me late at work AND finish and post one (1) fic? Let's find out shall we.

wait, snl uk is only going to be six episodes? lol. lollllll

sometimes a meal can just be sweet potato mash (the ottolenghi one), right

Found it!

noticing a major typo in the fic SUMMARY an entire month after posting... jail (for myself)

Work is so busy right now, sob. What happened to my little email job like what they keep telling me about on insta reels. I want to do my personal admin on company time again. And am I supposed to solely write in the middle of the night, only to sleep deprive myself?!

got emailed with apparently my 'last chance' to review a laundry basket I purchased six months ago. I think we all need to perhaps accept that I am never going to write a review about this laundry basket.

keep wanting to have fun with posting my first fic in a new fandom but apparently I need to actually write it first? seems unfair :(

me and all of you here

went to a posture specialist (£££) who did indeed tell me that my posture is bad in a lifelong sort of way, and now I have to do daily exercises for 6 months??

has anyone got a spare four million pounds going

Really loved Chicago a lot! Incredible food and great architecture. Definitely want to go back for more sometime when don't have other things/events there I have to go to.

AO3 down right before my flight home the universe hates me

medieval times was incredible 11/10 silly, everyone thought my real voice was me doing an accent in character, easily worst food I've eaten in Chicago. amazing.

I love pancake day but I couldn't make them yesterday so I'm making them today instead. Don't tell the pope

You don't need an AI companion, you need a friend or three who'll reliably write 400k+ words of unpublishable private literature with you.

only a few hours left in the weekend to fandom, but suddenly emotionally drained as my dad finally got us both on a zoom call and directly asked whether or not we were thinking having children because if we are it's kind of got to be soon

I'm contributing original research to a British fandom again you do very much love to see it

really feeling that 'it's rained every day so far this year will it ever end' headline today. I mean, will it?

oh my god I think we're going to get to go to medieval times I'm SO excited

I wrote about the best Olympic sport defector.com/high-level-a...

In a kind of heretofore unprecedented period of unhinged where I barely have enough time to write down my ideas never mind get onto a proper computer and so I'm writing entire sections of fic in, for some reason, calendar entries on my gcal app

oh this ain't it

I disparaged tumblr a lot back in the day before twitter got all fucked up, but, well, that outage last night was pretty difficult for me not going to lie

casting wall-to-wall white people wasn't actually enough apparently they also had to literally put white skin wallpaper on the walls

Howling, did not appreciate this was the extent of my influence: someone very offline asked my friend what fandom was and my friend began "so, you know like The Terror" ("what's The Terror?")

tumblr is another world... a better world...

MAKE IT STOP www.facebook.com/share/r/18YH... (yeah I could simply look away from the ""wuthering heights"" promo but no) (although it's pretty unavoidable here. it's on the bus stops it's on the buses) (note to self do not go to the south bank this weekend)

shut up shut up shut up (fic AU where they're in a different situation and different stuff happens and all of the characterisation has been changed... ie why bother)

I stayed up SO late writing last night but this could have been avoided if I'd simply turned my music off and started actually writing earlier than 1.30am. What an idiot.

This presents a nearly irresistible option for a journalistic second mention: 'the Grammy Award-winning spiritual leader'.

oh wow is it actually no longer january finally

One overlooked aspect is that graduates are now forecast to cover 83% of higher education costs – the funding system has been almost entirely privatised.

the rec center last week with my beatles-related tumblr post, the rec center this week with an oasis-related tumblr post... the rec center you are in my walls

staggeringly stupid answer (because she's staggeringly stupid). there's entitled and then there's 'don't mess up MY moodboard from my teenage bedroom' www.buzzfeed.com/natashajokic...

I love custard apples so much. Who's with me

Such excellent analysis (and fandom historical context)! also this is where I am right now, but back in regular non HR fandom

As soon as back from work and cooked and eaten and washed up and it could actually be writing time... I'm dead tired fall asleep couldn't stay up any longer

This is so selfish of me but someone who's in a bad situation is coming to live with us for a while and we don't really have any choice but it means I will lose my room of one's own and wfh space for the duration and I'm really stressed and upset about that. tbh.
