got rosemary oil in my eye, so that's a new low for *checks* sunday

i don't even want to talk about how this week has been. hi! how has your week been??

The King in Yellow

anyway. My Dad Died. two years ago and i feel extremely strange about it. i hate that i can talk about Dad's Cancer without crying now?

the mortgage broker is trying to sell us insurance so is quizzing about our health details. i'm so deeply ignoring it that when he asks if i have a close family history of cancer i said "no. wait. yes, sorry, i'm not sure why i said no"

do you know what? I'm genuinely hurt that this happened. not by the group but by the management. they've only ever performed El Dorado live once before and for some reason it was chosen to be performed live now. however, watch DO and Suho nail some difficult lines. youtu.be/tdkeIEUywB0

please read my posts infinitegossip.ghost.io i get a lot of good feedback on my posts.99% of my feed back is positive

@mrgeop.bsky.social no cursed zillow here i'm afraid, except for it being grey with "live laugh love" on the walls. 😬

gonna say it here: i think we may possibly be about to buy a fucking house. it's all moving a bit faster than i expected so really: i'm probably going to be a Homeowner soon

it's definitely time for Ferdie to go to the groomers, bc the kids at work are worried about me. "what's that scratch" "who hurt you" "why are you bleeding" just the cat. the horrible horrible cat.

ferdie just bit me so hard i had to storm off and have a little cry. bastard

the endless "you can't play god! writers aren't god! you MUSTN'T play god!!" dialogue at the end was particularly irritating. should put the acknowledgments first so i know to not bother with the explicitly Godly ones

That’s a very deliberate tail position

Today’s house-tidying treasure: the first letter from my penpal when we were 14. Somehow stayed with me for over 20 years. We’re still in touch! Obviously I showed her immediately, waiting to see what she says

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil? How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️ Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?' Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports... 🧵 1/25

first line of the song

Ferdie update. his tummy has been fine on chicken for weeks, so we're confident chicken isn't his problem! hooray! he had tuna for lunch and seemed really excited for a new flavour of food - the horrible hydrolysed pate remains his favourite, however. dang cat

15 minutes into the first episode of the malcolm in the middle sequel and christ, I'm malcolm aren't i. jesus fuck. that's such an awful realisation. well, at least i'm not Reese

i only put this on casually but it's exceeded my expectations already a bit: the Branagh Murder on the Orient Express intro is supremely Poirot. M. Bouc is not what i expected but probably more interesting. continue

i'm used to the dreams where my dad appears and i know he's dead, or he tells me he's dead, but last night it was... waiting for mum to come home and she arrives WITH DAD in his orange fleece and he's alive! and i hug him and he doesn't disappear or fade away. he's not dead! and then i woke up.

Following in the footsteps of Watership Down and The Plague Dogs, THE ANIMALS OF FARTHING WOOD (1993) traumatised a generation of children. A grand tally of 20-odd onscreen deaths included baby mice impaled on a tree. At 4.30 in the afternoon, kids!

16: The Big Four - Agatha Christie 4/10. Oh Agatha, what have you done. It’s entertaining at least, and Poirot and Hastings are great as usual, but the old timey racism is the cherry on top. How many times was Hastings bound and gagged or knocked out in this one? Not her best work.

My forthcoming book "Maiden, Mother, and Crone: Female Monstrosity in Video Games" is officially listed on Springer's website!! Ahhh it's finally happening!! It'll be published in June, just in time for me to go back to work after my maternity leave 😁 link.springer.com/book/9783032...

I hated this chest of drawers so I painted it and gave it new handles and now I quite like it. A worthy experiment

talking to my dear Korean penpal and trying to figure out numbers has been an experience. oh, house prices around here? in won, they're, uh. either shib or baek. maybe even cheon! i'd have to count the zeroes to bt certain

i can hear it

I have that one saved.

The feral hogs one is great but I don't know if it's the funniest

As a Strayan, this one always gets me.

wardrobe cleared - 2 bin bags, 2 big carriers for the charity shop, 2 storage bags for "not sures". much better. and sanded and primed the old chest of drawers that i want to paint and make nice. just seeing if i like the DIY thing, or what my tolerance for it is, before we move

I will be forever in awe of this exchange

I’m clearing out my wardrobe and seeing all the old Black Milk brought a tear to my eye. So beautiful, so 2010s.

World’s oldest tortoise caught in viral crypto death scam

i'm watching the Land Before Time, one of my favourites as a toddler, and it's amazing how phrases are just embedded in my brain. "Many things cannot fly. Rocks, trees, sticks... Spike..."

important update: i may have finally acquired the taste for olives. i ate two the other day and quite liked them. we'll see

I went on a tiny train yesterday 🥺

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Look at my lovely boy

🧵 These stories really are coming thick and fast at the moment🙄 Guess what? The Canadian school is NOT 'banning food at lunchtime' during Ramadan🤦‍♀️ Obviously... And if you BELIEVED it to be true, then you need to ask why you would choose to believe such an obviously ludicrous headline? 1/20

what's your favourite dinosaur? mine is baryonyx. it's a cool predator like spinosaurus but it probably ate fish, and it lived around here.

we watched Jurassic World Dominion and it was, at least, great fun. it took about an hour to even get started. Henry Wu redemption arc? who knew. we groaned every time Pratt showed up and cheered for the original cast at every possible moment. interesting dinosaurs too

not wanting to speak too soon but Ferdie might be getting his taste for his old food back. we're onto 1 can of old food, 1/2 can of z/d pate daily and today he cleaned his plate of chicken and turkey for the first time. go boy go. eat and poop normal

Red onion and cheddar scones today

Also made a pear upside down cake! Bit of a caramel disaster but it tastes good at least

You’d hope they could at least spell the town name right. You’d really hope. @libdems.org.uk

I salute the pedantry of the child’s new toy.
