TFW someone you like turns out to be a Reformer. Like, ugh.

The word Lamppost was originally Lambpost. Sheep were put atop long poles & set on fire to help folk navigate in the dark. #TrueFacts

I don't expect this to go anywhere, but if anyone would care to help us towards the car payment so we can break this cycle of everything having to be late, the payment is $520. Getting that in on time would make us not late for June rent or anything else. PayPal.me/brokenqueene CA/V: brokenqueene

Good morning my loves. Resolutely ignoring the politics till I'm less fragile (also my borough is already twat-led). Hope you are all as well as can be.

Having taken strong pain relief and slept for most of the day, I am now feeling more like myself. Back to work tomorrow.

I found it! Accessed my subconscious while napping and remembered he was called Pete, and its The Vision by Pete Grieg of the 24/7 prayer movement.

Hivemind. Reposts please. Tying to track down a Christian trance album from the very early 2000s. It has a track on it called 'The Vision', narrated by a pastor who I'm pretty sure was called Matt Something. It's a vision of young people on fire for God, sort of thing, set to trance music. Help!

I am seriously debating calling in sick today. I'm on day five of a rumbly migraine, I can't see or think straight, the chronic fatigue is kicking my bum, and the fibromyalgia pain has kicked up two notches. But my brain is telling me I'm Not SiCK eNoUGh to call in. I hate my brain.

Where does David Attenborough go on holiday? He's been everrrrrywhere!

I SUPPORT THE NHS. I DON'T VOTE REFORM.

I declare today to be Wonder Wednesday. May your day be full of awesome wonderful things that inspire you and make you happy and fill you with wonder And yes I made this wee video myself.

I'm up at ridiculous o'clock. So i thought I'd check if any of my meds are stimulants (apparently not). But. Four of them are depressants and can cause increased tiredness. I've already got Chronic Fatigue/M.E. Do I really need meds which make me tireder?

Oh good lord. Having FINISHED the Mission: Impossible movies last night, hubs and youngest have GONE BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE SERIES. Saaaaave meeeeeeee.

I might go to the gym tomorrow. Still haven't heard back from my gp about consent to exercise, so can't do mich more than treadmill and bike, but it's a start

Misson Impossible the very last one yes we mean it no really is STILL GOING.

It’s only real Banter if it comes from the Banteur region of France. Otherwise it’s just thinly disguised derision or ridicule.

Hubs has been on a Mission Impossible kick lately, and this afternoon we have reached The End: Final Reckoning. And my word, it's a load of old implausible shite. The camera angles are weird, they're all whispering, and (unforgivably and SPOILER) THEY KILLED LUTHOR. And seriously, it's guff.

I wanted to say "DO WHAT BRINGS YOU JOY" but felt immediately compelled to caveat: (unless what brings you joy is causing non-consensual pain or suffering) And isn't it sad that we live in a world where even wishing joy on someone is hedged about with disclaimers? Ugh.

This was fun to draw!

The story behind this image is long and nonsensical. But needless to say, here is Pikachu, crossed with Tofu from Resident Evil 2. He’s been through some stuff, hence his chewed-up condition.

In fact. For me, the best argument against immigration is the fact that we're lumbered with people like Yusuf, Braverman, & even Mahmood

I don’t suffer from intrusive thoughts to any great degree, but even for me, the word “egodystonic” – the revelation that one’s intrusive thoughts don’t just *not* reflect your true desires and values, but are their direct opposite – has dissolved so much shame and anxiety

It’s not very fashionable these days, but that is the way it works. Your life becomes markedly better when you are able to care about other people as well as yourself.

This, for all fields & life. If you cannot take joy in other people’s joy & feel sorrow at other people’s sorrow —empathy —your quality of life will be markedly worse. The same goes for reciprocal relationships. Not quid pro quo, but reciprocity between people for whom the relationship matters.

Like, if observing something changes it, that means that when we look at our thoughts, rather than just thinking them, we have the power to shape our mindscape. Otherwise known as 'Kiz discovers several popular schools of thought therapy'. Lol, I'm on one today.

"The Red October Geoffrey? No, no I've not seen it about, where did you last put it?"

Oh, how precious. The spawns are 'sharing a jam' on Spotify and I started humming along to Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Greenday. Youngest: "You KNOW this song?!?" Her little face when I explained that Greenday are an OLD BAND. Even grandma knows (but admittedly hates) Greenday. #ThisMamaSlaps

Current mood: I HATE SPORT. Bought to you by the very very lots of sports my husband and middle spawn enjoy. Currently snooker. Previously F1. Does also include, but not limited to: Darts Golf Cricket Not dissing anyone who DOES enjoy these or any sports, I just don't.

Oh fuck off, I haven’t had a proper holiday in decades and here you are going to Japan and you write this bullshit.

Just been slaving away in the kitchen making a chicken and veg pie. Only when I looked at the clock, did I realise how early dinner will be...oops.

All insects make noises except for one aberration. That would be the Mute Ant.

#SundayPixTime (Also alt) It wasn't until I was a few hours in (I'm a slow crocheter) that I realised the pink-and-peach colourway id chosen for the unicorn I was making looked rather...boob-like. Dammit.

Watching the film of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. (It was nearly -and may yet be- Lego Batman)

From the mists of #SundayPixTime (well, 15 years ago)

For #SundayPixTime: Before and after, Christmas Day 2024. I love the sky, I do!

Tired, understimulared and lonely. This is a very dangerous triple threat to my ADHD brain. WHERE IS MAH DOPAMINE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Gah, my bloody dogs are on divide and conquer this morning. Summer found the treat stash, and while I was wrestling a beef trachea from her jaws, Lulu got upstairs and pooped over half the bedroom carpet. Now that's sorted, it's time out for everyone (including me!)

Quck heads-up that tomorrow's theme for #SundayPix is Time. #SundayPixTime Can be watches, books, any interpretation, as long as it is your photo, not something found on the internet. Like this pic of my favourite folly, The Triangular Lodge, whose sundial even reads 3 during the day.

Yes, I ordered more yarn Sorry Not sorry I HAVE A PROBLEM ALRITE

Just realised, some decades late, that Orville the Duck was named after a Wright brother, for flight-aspiration purposes.

I honestly dont know who to vote for in the upcoming election.

I'm so sick of all the fear-mongering, the othering, the divisivenss being forced down our throats ALL THE DAMN TIME in a horribly successful attempt to divert Joe Public's attention from the actual, vile, criminal, anti-Earth, anti-pleb policies and behaviours of the financial and political elite.

Today I. Said. No. I dont usually say no to people. I'm a total pleaser. But I did it and the world didnt end. When I say I'm almost giddy about this, I'm not exaggerating.
