Me: I'm definitely not anxious about this ophthalmology appointment Also me: why can't I breathe properly??

I can't do that "movie set where you're from" because I don't think there's a single movie set where I'm from. None I've seen, anyway

My son has got me going on this fan theory that all the Hugh Jackman roles set in the 1800s could be escaped clones of his The Prestige character. So PT Barnum, Javert, Van Helsing and one of them that went a little wrong and got a mutant X Gene and became Wolverine, all part of the Prestige EU

70 years ago UK was conducting a brutal colonial intervention in Malaya. British forces herded hundreds of thousands of people into fortified camps, heavily bombed rural areas and resorted to extensive propaganda to win the conflict. www.declassifieduk.org/britains-for...

Yay, my winter thank you cards arrived! I will be adding them to all the orders from my shop and at my events! I'll be launching a black Friday sale tomorrow btw

It's hard to get neurotypicals to understand "I didn't do the task because I was so intensely aware of the need to do this that my brain built a wall around the concept of doing it", so we just say "I didn't do the task because I forgot."

Oh I just realized I don't need to read any of this [logs off forever]

It's raining and cold and dark and I miss my mum

Me after one (1) alcohol

One of my homeworks for the GP is doing my blood pressure at home and my systolic BP is fine every time but the diastolic pressure is high - which is probably not great but all the patient information everywhere only talks about high BP where both aspects are high so what is that about?

I am looking for a good book on the Etruscans. Ideally more general audience than scholarly. I read some academic history writing but for what I want endless "more/less significant than previously thought" arguments with the previous generation of historians are not it. Recommendations appreciated!

I decided to catch up on F1 before listening to #TheAshes on sports extra 3, which started at 11. I had an inkling of what happened but not the detail. Anyway it is just after lunch so I'm waiting for the England collapse. Aus have 40 runs to get them all out

I keep thinking about a person who told me they thought I drew cats kinda like weird little goblins and wondered why until they saw my cats, and how funny that is. My style: my inspiration: #catdoodle #artpost

There really would be laws against having to get out of bed when it's below freezing outside.

steve smith, you scored 17 on your specialist subject, "getting hit by jofra archer"

I’ve just learnt this one in the last five minutes: the mammal most likely to kill its own kind is… the meerkat

So many well-educated people I know are unaware of this about chiropractors and I’m always too embarrassed / polite / English to mention it. Like when I bite my tongue when people talk about “alternative” medicine for serious, terminal illness

You gotta be a little bit in love with your friends, it's what they deserve

Oh look, it's that time of year again! Time to place your orders for the 2026 Small Robots Calendar! It's £30, and this year's theme is Wistfulbot Goes for a Walk. It's got contemplative pictures and some sort-of poetry I guess? Anyway, the order form is here: forms.gle/AmdadzcTvzt8...

Plaudits to whoever put this poster up next to the Park Road Tesco in Toxteth.

NHS App: log in to see a message from your GP surgery Me: log in NHS App: can we ask you about your experience logging in to the NHS App? Me: no, I want to know what the surgery wants Surgery: can we ask you about your appointment experience? Me: throws phone into sea, goes to live in the woods

Walter de Staplecat, Simpkin IV, Teabag, Balthasar and Benny D Cat take the stage as we meet the college cats of Oxford. And, of course, Magdalen’s Ozymandias. Read on for our photo special. (Includes a cat map.) oxfordclarion.uk/college-cats...

“the baby keeps crawling into the hallway” ❌boring ❌doesn’t convey urgency ❌it’s her house she has every right to be there “the child has escaped containment” ✅appropriately ominous ✅implies containment is not only preferable but necessary ✅is she even human

Um the proof of delivery photo I just got for a royal mail parcel is just my dad's feet and the doormat

🕯 Today we pause to remember the trans people whose lives were taken by violence this year. Those lost to hatred, and those lost to the unbearable weight of living in a world that too often refuses to see their worth. We hold every name and every story in our hearts. #TDOR

Hey. Did anyone here attend the International Star Trek Convention in Washington, DC, January 1-4, 1976, or know one of its organizers? An editor at the excellent @fanlore.org site is looking for info on the con.

Hello #DressHistory Bluesky! Can somebody explain to me the difference between womens shoes and pumps at this period? (1771) If you can point me to illustrations that would be fabulous!

I know I'm suggestible because I've drunk half a bottle of 0.0% alcohol wine and I feel a bit tipsy

and here we see that once it gets late enough in the day, the historian naturally reverts to the spelling conventions of the time they study

I went to the GP and now I have so much homework

Happy International Men’s Day to all the incredible trans men out there. Thank you for existing.

November 19 is World Toilet Day — officially declared by the United Nations to bring attention to the the 3.4 billion people who live without "safely managed sanitation." n.pr/3X1BB07

And, most oddly of all, *my birthday*

The weather forecast had it raining all day but it's sunny! I always wanted it to snow on my birthday though

It's my birthday (and international men's day, which is rude, frankly) and I woke up with a stonking headache (also rude) but I did see a heron on my way to work, so not all bad

Sadly, we have seen a big increase in avian flu cases in the UK - particularly in waterfowl Whilst the risk to the public remains assessed as very low, Government advice is not to touch any visibly sick or dead birds, and to keep pets away Read on for ways to help: 📷Ben Andrew
