question: when i'm ordering a coffee in a coffee shop, what do i actually say? can i just say 'can i have a large capuccino, please?' or am i expected to get more specific than that right away, like 'large capuccino with skimmed milk'? or should i wait for the barista to ask me follow-up questions?

i'm only working 9am-1pm tomorrow so i can't justify paying for an uber to avoid the overcrowded 8am bus, so i'm gonna aim to get the 7am bus and go to a coffee shop (it's my first time going to one and ordering for myself so i'm a little nervous).

completely forgot that i'd booked myself in to see Eternity at the cinema today (i have a cinema membership so thankfully it didn't cost me anything) so i'm anticipating a passive aggressive automated email rip. i'll probably go to see it on friday or something.

I was devastated to hear about the loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer. Rob is a generational talent that used his voice to advocate for a better world. We live in a better country because of them. They will be missed.

Just when you think Trump can’t sink any lower… Rob Reiner and his talented wife Michele were friends of ours. We collaborated on projects. Brad and I are devastated. We are in shock and grief. Sure, Rob opposed Trump, but this is so beyond the pale.

Just so we’re all clear here, he is saying that Rob Reiner and his wife were asking for it.

#promosky as a little treat for myself because i worked so hard today. -writing (fanfic, blog posts, some original stuff) -movies -physical media -the muppets -dhmis -sonic -smosh -cross-stitching -latch hook -dead by daylight -pop culture -pokemon -horror -letterboxd -reading (i'm trying my best)

i've seen the first four episodes of Long Story Short and i adore it so much. it's already made me well up twice. you can see little traces of BoJack, particularly some of the sillier humour, but i adore how it's very much it's own thing.

we truly live in a society because... well just go watch the trailer for Andy Serkis' Animal Farm. what the fuck are we doing.

listening to Janelle Monáe's album The ArchAndroid and holy shit it fucks so hard. will be listening to it many more times, no doubt.

i made some christmas cross-stitch gift tags from a £2 kit i bought from work. the wreath one is my favourite. can't wait to try the other three designs (a christmas tree, a bow and a gingerbread man). #craftsky

i stopped procrastinating and finished my review of Nia Sioux's memoir Bottom of the Pyramid. i'd recommend the book over my review, obviously. but, if you feel so inclined, it'd be nice if you read my review, too. #booksky #promosky mxpiggy.wordpress.com/2025/12/13/m...

just watched this very well-researched video about internet discourse i hadn't heard of. but it offers a very fascinating, thoughtful discussion of social media. it's hard to describe but i think it's worth a watch if you find that kind of thing interesting. youtu.be/0vF8iH1pjNk?...

the cross-stitch project i started last night!! it's my first time cross-stitching not onto fabric with a pre-printed pattern, which i was kind of dreading, but it turns out it's not too scary after all. having a great time with this.

i love the holdovers because it's a fantastic movie, but also because it's the reason i tried jim beam and now it's my favourite alcoholic beverage.

i'm a quarter of a way through Make You Mine This Christmas (a sapphic Christmas rom-com) and i'm loving it so far!! it's keeping me company whilst i make a latch hook Christmas stocking. Haf is such a charming, lovely protagonist (i'm so happy to see queer plus size representation too). #booksky

As Israel have been allowed to compete in Eurovision 2026, the UK must follow in the footsteps of Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands and boycott the competition. The world's largest live music event cannot be used to whitewash Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

listening to a sapphic christmas romcom audiobook, drinking wine and doing a latch hook christmas stocking kit. life is good.

i hate (some) british teenagers. there was a group of teenage boys just standing around outside the cinema entrance legit just blocking the path. to get past them i accidentally nudged the sign outside the cinema with my foot and they were like 'ooo sorry doris' really nastily for some reason.

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

i was alone on the shop floor for like 15 minutes and every second of that i had to serve a customer, answer someone's question or rush back to the till. felt like i was gonna crash out.

need more people to listen to Frankenstein by Aimee Mann. i swear to god that song makes me feel like ascending.

i'm watching a found footage movie on tubi (They're Watching) and i'm sort of interested in seeing where it goes, but also it's one of those FF movies that has music which... ehhh i'm really not a fan.

muppet labs 🧪

help there's too many people here today because of black friday

started working on a latch hook pattern based on danny torrance's apollo 11 sweater because i can't knit so why not latch hook it instead. it's taking a lot of trial and error to make it work but it's getting there!!

did some festive colours for my nails this time!! i'll probably stick with this for the next month.

splashes at you

feel like a freak that i'm 20 and i've never been to a concert.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

i've made a lot of progress on my latest latch hook cushion kit (courtesy of craft club, though i don't think they're selling this design anymore). it's so cute and my favourite cushion i've done so far!!

okay so i just watched my first smosh games video (amanda and shayne playing fnaf for the first time). what other smosh games videos would fans recommend (i plan on watching through their other fnaf videos btw)?

i have an old t-shirt from redbubble that i don't wear anymore because the print is looking awful on it and it's of a show i don't watch anymore. so i'm thinking of cutting up the fabric of the t-shirt into star shapes and sewing them onto jeans.

need to get off instagram reels because it's got me feeling invalid because i'm trans/nonbinary but i'm not alternative or androgynous.

made some progress on my muppet treasure island one-shot!! it turns out that even when i think i'm not in the mood to write, odds are i can force myself to write a decent sentence and the rest will come flooding out.

managed to guess a Freida McFadden twist. it only took me three books to learn how! i don't like her books beyond having a quick, entertaining-enough read but i detest her twists especially. i have no idea why she is so lauded in the book community, but i guess booktok is into CoHo, so... #booksky

i'm gonna crash out because what do you mean in the five minutes it took me to walk to the bus stop the bus has gone from being on time on the tracking app to being 8 minutes late?? also it's 3°C that's why i'm annoyed

i'm reading a book published in 2021 and i can't tell if the hints of fatphobia are coming from the author or from the character. because it's so easy to justify it as a character choice to show a character being harsh/judgemental. but i'm not far enough in the book to be sure.

i've been a big fan of the lovers to enemies dynamic for a while, presumably in part because i'm a child of divorce, but mostly because it's fascinating to see.

wicked and wicked: for good have reignited my desire to think about jonathan bailey so it seems i'll be getting back to work on my bridgerton one-shot in the foreseeable future.

i've never read freida mcfadden's the housemaid, but i've read a couple of her other books and i'm currently reading another of her books because i've been too tired to read anything challenging. her writing style is so digestible in a way that sucks a lot of life out of her stories for me.

need to get wicked on dvd because damn i adore this movie; my third time seeing it and it brings me such joy. i forgot how great it is.

share a tv series you've watched from the beginning to the end more than once (it was a strain to think of this many)

This #TransgenderDayOfRememberance, we remember the over 280 trans people killed globally this year and the many more lost to suicide. They deserved to live safely, without fear, and to be fully who they are. May their memories move us to keep fighting for a world where all trans people are free.

this!! it bothers me so much when i'm watching a FF movie and there's a loud bang/sting that's clearly been edited in. it takes away from the immersion so much. love films like gonjiam: haunted asylum that show how scary the quiet can be. if you know, you know.

An all-too-common mistake is inferring the sexuality of historical figures based on contemporary standards that didn’t apply back then. For example, in the 1970s it was normal for a cop, a biker, a Native American, a construction worker, and a cowboy to be friends. It didn’t mean they were gay.

one of the many reasons i joined the green party. meanwhile other parties ignore the violence we face or blame it on social media or phones something else that is 'safe' to call out, rather than addressing the reality that politicians and the media fuel the rampant transphobia that kills us.
