Oh dear. A man on Bumble, in response to me talking about The Goblin Emperor and how I enjoy court intrigue, chose to respond by saying “I assume by court intrigue you mean romantasy smut?” Oh DEAR.

she’s in oakland, someone tell interpol

It’s 13:30 and I’ve meal prepped breakfasts and lunches for work this week, dusted, hoovered and mopped my flat (with the fancy M&S floor cleaner) and had a bath. Now the whole afternoon and the whole of the city is in front of me and I want to do absolutely nothing 😂

What an absolute queen.

It’s been a really tough time recently, but things got a little better this week with some much needed positive news and I am out of my reading slump, if the way I’ve inhaled three Cara Bastone novels in five days is any any indication.

Wait you guys can read

A fellow Labour Party member once described Wes Streeting to me as Zippy from Rainbow if he'd been radicalized by Mumsnet. which is a very specific set of references but also disturbingly accurate.

oh is Starmer banging on about steel again

The Onion ass headline

Things are unbelievably crap at the moment. What’s bringing you joy, and what do you recommend I try to bring me a mere spark of joy? Need a bit of inspiration here, lads.

i see the vision, hudson

🎵 Da da da da daaaaaa 🎵

Kind of offended by La Winkle’s assertion that people who are into astrology etc are “thick”, what with my two degrees and three additional languages spoken (admittedly to varying levels) in addition to English 😂

I am in absolute stitches watching Dan Levy’s consternation on La Winkle’s that show as Josh Widdecombe, Phil Dunster and Cush Jumbo try to explain the concept of Mr Blobby to him in only the way elder millennials who grew up watching Noel’s House Party possibly can 😂😂

This was easily the most thrilling and exciting film I’ve seen in ages. Stuffed full of martial arts and stunts, great acting, laughs and tears. I was the only person there under 50 and the only one who wasn’t Asian 😂

Heated Chivalry

Any #cdrama fans in the UK and Ireland, do check cinema listings this weekend as the wuxia film Blades of the Guardians is actually getting a cinema release! Meanwhile, still waiting for Hidden Blade to be available here 😞

Cleat Cute by Meryl Wisner is being made into a TV series!! We love to see it 🤩

X this evening vs Bsky this evening

A forever fave and comfort rewatch. What a cast.

Well DONE, Hungary!

Watching #PerfectCrown #kdrama episode one, is it just me or are chunks of it not subbed??

I'm sorry I said you weren't very scary.

NASA failed to predict the real splashdown risk.

Okay so we’ve only had The Pitt here for like a week, is the fandom really that tin-hatty??

It’s Friday evening so it must be time for Top of the Pops!

I’ve started rewatching Legend of ShenLi and oh wowee I’d forgotten just how *chef’s kiss* the chemistry is 🤩

Happy New Kate Clayborn Day to those who celebrate!

FYI, this gallery has all the photos NASA is sharing from Artemis II in one place, with descriptions.

Canadiens have clinched a playoff berth. With six games left, they’re four points back of the Hurricanes for first in the Eastern Conference and two back of the Lightning for first in the Atlantic Division.

Watching the Habs game from last night and thinking how thrilled @evaine.bsky.social must be with their recent streak. Sending you good thoughts my friend.

I also saw today that two of my faves Yang Mi and Liu Xueyi are filming a drama together and I’m pretty excited for that.

Yes please I am seated.

Love a classic Top of the Pops watch on a Friday but goodness me I’d forgotten how much terrible dance music was in the charts in the 90s.

I recently joined my library’s e-book service and there are huge waits for a lot of things but they do have a load of Amanda Quick and Julie Garwood romances and I’ve heard about them on the amazing @fatedmates.net podcast, so I’m going to dive in this bank holiday.

This would fix Star Trek

OMGGG my audiobook of Hands of the Emperor has arrived! So sad I have to work today 😭

I am three episodes into The Pitt and loving it!!! Who are we shipping what are we reading???? I need to catch up!

Scott Mills Misconduct Sweepstakes

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally we can watch The Pitt in the UK 🤩

Happy Deadloch Season Two Day to those who celebrate!

Just been a served a reel with someone asking if anyone wants to come over and order pizza and then watch Empire Records, and honestly I can’t think of anything nicer right now.

I had to work today and spent a good 20 mins or so waxing lyrical to my poor colleague about the Stargate franchise, and now I’m rewatching the 1994 film.

He looks wonderful in those freshly laundered robes to tbqh 🤩

I know I’m British and we love a queue, but goodness me this trend for queuing to get to the bar in a pub is just weird and very annoying.

I’m really enjoying Pursuit of Jade so far, I adore the leads and I’m even more thrilled to see Liu Lin in a supporting role, she was great as Big Madam in Ming Lan! #cdrama

Deeply thrilled with the news of a BBC Ghosts film!
