why are male cyclists / store staff so awkward to deal with why am I always in these hobbies where this happens each time

I bought a Snacket this week (fucking excited to put my killer pythons in it next ride) and they sent me NeoPro Xmas socks as a surprise???????!!!! Guess I’ll be festive this month on the bike

why is having someone doing work on my roof (even if very minor) so unnerving to me. It’s 100% the noise made but I have no idea why it spikes my stress levels so much

You cannot comb a hairy sphere, don’t even try

walked into an okonomiyaki restaurant thinking it would just be an express kinda serving situation from a kitchen, but no they’re cooking for just me at my table and I feel terrible about it

at that age where I am finally trying to optimise personal maintenance task frequency by throwing money at beautician appointments instead of

Next month in Melbourne, Russ Weakley and I are running a workshop on mobile accessibility testing at A11y Camp. We'd love to have you to join us. Workshop details: a11ycamp.com.au/workshops/ and tickets at events.humanitix.com/a11y-camp-au... #a11y

holy shit in less than 25 min I swapped out a busted tubeless tire with a new one, fresh sealant, seated first time and now good to go. That’s pretty good for me so I’m getting much better at this

Oh god I just walked under an active magpie nest 😬

“Say What You Will” is one of my favorite James Blake songs but I’ve never seen the video until now. I yelled when I first spotted Finneas and it went on to be absolutely brilliant 😂

tried to jog across the road this morning and last night’s training session pain stopped that very quickly 🥲

how dare the wind gust at 70km/h during magnolia season 😒

my physio has a Keanu themed bathroom, including audio

as I precariously carry a tray of coffee and cake through an outdoor deck I am reminded that the SPD pedal system was the superior choice

the magnolias and wattle are blossoming :D and the jacarandas are golden

The Veronicas at #3 be fucking serious now

that feeling when you tie your hair back and your brain suddenly goes quiet

NEW VIDEO TIME! With its 30th anniversary happening a few weeks back, it made it the right time to dive into Air Combat on PlayStation, the first in what'd become the Ace Combat home series. But how's it stack up from someone coming it from those later games? www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mLN...

converted my chain to wax today does that mean I’m a real cyclist now /s

been ill this week and watching videos of people riding up Alpe du Zwift has brought me a lot of cheer

They need to incorporate Pokémon Snap into Zwift. I swear I just saw a calico cat cheering me on in Scotland and I wanna take photos on my routes

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

after 5 weeks away from weight training it’s been so hard to get back into but I think I’m in the routine again thankfully

struggling to get out of bed this morning

a lager and a Coke Zero was gonna be $26 via room service I think not

this weekend I’m traveling up to Queensland with my bike to cycle for charity in the Brissie to the Bay ride 🚴‍♀️ I’d love to reach my goal of raising $500 and I’m pretty close! If you can spare a few dollars I’d be really appreciative ❤️ www.brissietothebay.com.au/fundraisers/...

I’m sure there was a good reason why I booked this flight so early but I can’t think of it

Amusing that the suspicious white powder randomly found around my place is creatine

took a break from social media for a bit, feel better for it I think. I’m back on here again though 🙂

@blowdart.me thank you for the Christmas card. It really really brightened my week

hearing the painter grunting as he paints my kitchen ceiling today is so validating, when I rage cried doing the same thing almost two years ago

lol

couldn’t be me finally getting into gear to go for a walk and it’s peak heat and UV exposure hour

feel asleep on the couch at 5pm 🤡

everyone talks a about mitochondria powerhouse but never about verb is a “doing” word
