#dtubkjosir is very

Look what we have here then.

I frequently skirt right up to the edge of burnout. I work 13-hour shifts with a big social life the rest of the week, and almost never have any actual free time. But right now I'm in a too-hot bath with a tea called Duvet Day, a delicious flapjack, and a "caramel latte" scented candle on the go 😌

Amazing story: one of the organisers of the group putting Union Flags up around Manchester previously did time for being part of a people smuggling gang. manchestermill.co.uk/manchester-f...

Ten years ago since my friend Danny Sutcliffe wrote the best ever Facebook post to our friend Sam who was on holiday at the time

"the United Kingdom of Stoke and The North"

ok so

likes are now florps

@littlehux.bsky.social tonight was the night I FINALLY introduced Stripelet to Vivi at bedtime. I intended to read the first two chapters. They insisted on more, and we only stopped after five because we were both about to fall asleep. Diolch yn fawr 💕

One of my favourite things to read is Ella's Substack. It's about everything and it's about nothing, sometimes it's about food and sometimes her life, and those things cross over and weave and delight. It's beautiful and it's in my inbox and it should be in yours. open.substack.com/pub/ella/p/t...

Minidisc has defeated Toe.

WHY is everybody talking about leftist men's sex lives (PLEASE do not tell me, I only come on here to share the nonsense I put in my group chats and marvel at the fact my friends still listen to me)

@secondmentions.bsky.social From the 3min BBC News headline summary for smart speakers: a story about honey referred to "the sticky residue."

if you're disabled and want a remote job doing meaningful work for an org that genuinely puts accessibility at the heart of everything it does, come and be my colleague.

I've just answered a Be My Eyes call from a person with a visual impairment, guided them across their flat and helped them find their phone charger. Free, crowdsourced visual support is a great use of smartphones as accessibility tools. bemyeyes.com?utm_source=a...

Three stunning and shaming paragraphs, by Rachel Wolf of Public First, in @theobserveruk.bsky.social

Today I said "enjoy your new blood!" to a patient as I started their transfusion, and honestly it's a wonder I'm allowed to talk to patients sometimes.

I've accent #drubkjosie without intend

Heading for a chain coffee shop to get some caffeine, I noticed a 🇵🇸 flag in a window I was passing. Then a flyer which said "support queer businesses". And it was an unexpected queer bookshop with a coffee bar and a kids section with @littlehux.bsky.social's books in it. Much better than Costa 💕

just remembered when @bzzjosie.bsky.social was helping me and @morl.bsky.social move, and she accidentally drew herself with the GPS tracker while we were trying to find a petrol station

I introduced two of my very favourite people to each other last week, and one of them was @stillicides.bsky.social, so of course they've not wasted any time in setting out their stall.

Accidentally got emotionally overstimulated in an underground car park, so I went and got an iced coffee and had a walk in the sunshine and sat by the River Medlock and wrote several pages of brain nonsense for my best friend to pick apart later, and now I think I'm feeling better.

"Big non-binary move, to replace the main vowel in your name with a Q."

Remembering when I posted some incomprehensible #drubkjosie on a private account, but then remembered I'd recently added some of my clinical educators on a different account, so added a note that if you were a clinical educator you shouldn't read this (just in case I was posting on the wrong one).

Text from best mate. I am so excited.

meeting @bzzjosie.bsky.social for lunch on saturday and just discovered we have known each other for AT LEAST eleven years this year!!

Released a game yesterday! It is as if you were on your phone pippinbarr.com/it-is-as-if-... (For phones only) Let me know what you think!

After 1½ years as a professional registrant I have finally, FINALLY been asked to countersign a passport application. This is what my nursing career has been building towards.

Having to work quite hard to resist chanting "you're getting nationalised" when I see a Stagecoach Manchester bus.

for the first time in Bsky, #drubkjosie

Watching Derry Girls again because Orla.

This evening I'm returning to my intermittent attempts to be entertaining on camera. I'm playing Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes live on Twitch with @thixotropic.bsky.social and @chris.boyle.name in about an hour - join us at twitch.tv/bzzjosie from 6pm GMT.

Bluesky just hit 20m users! 🎉 (pictured: significantly less than 20m sheep) @bsky.app

PSA: Because Internet is on sale! I think the description of Old Internet People vs successive generations of internet users in chapter 3 is particularly relevant to explaining the dynamics of bluesky 🦋

One of my favourite things about working nights is how faintly subversive it feels to do normal things at the 'wrong' time. The meal I eat at 1am is Night Lunch. The bath I have when I'm staying up late before my first shift is a Night Bath. Going for a little wander on my break is a Night Walk.

Good morning Bluesky. Here's a helpful starter pack for divorced men named Geoff but one has been murdered. Please help us find the killer. go.bsky.app/KDY26rh

Hello, nursing friends and colleagues who are finding me here! You're very welcome, but you'll probably get more professional sense out of me at @biscuitnurse.bsky.social.

Other members of the colliery choirs said that they didn't know who the Pet Shop Boys were when they performed, but after they had relatives and friends (and remember these guys were from small-town Wales and England) come out to them, and say seeing them on that stage meant the trusted them.

In 1994 the Pet Shop Boys were invited to perform 'Go West' at the Brit Awards. They agreed and brought with them 3 separate choirs of miners. Some of those miners had marched with the gay and lesbian members of LGSM in the 1980s. It is one of the great, near-lost music moments vimeo.com/293437684

WHY DOES MY CALCULATOR APP WANT ME TO READ ITS PRIVACY POLICY

Had a sip of tea while wearing my VR headset. I think I must have fogged a sensor somewhere, because it immediately shut itself off and told me I shouldn't be using it in such low light conditions. Oops.

unbelievably this isn't an AI fuck up, this in an image my boyfriend @morl.bsky.social made on purpose

Wem.

in the 90’s, computers would scream every time you went online. that‘s called foreshadowing

I don't think that's true. I think they're just far away

Museums are wonderful. (Despite the headline, this article is mostly about collection work which has already been done.) www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...
