If you are ever thinking "I'm lazy, let's just have more of that tasy but super spicy fried rice I made last night for breakfast" and then also think you might walk to work my friend. I beg you: do neither of those things.

I AM SO SICK OF BEING ADVERTISED TO LET THIS CYBER MONDAY END.

Why is it a tried and true thing that as soon as you get home from work/up in the morning, the cat MUST use the litter box.

The delivery apps chirp, waking at sunrise 4:30pm.

Man, it seems like every show these days is just like 5 to 7 characters screaming back and forth "THIS IS THE SUBTEXT."

It would be nice to win something sometime. You know, besides everybody's hearts 💞

Me and my coworkers at the office today.

🕯

Arrogant.

Ugh. Feeling down about writing. Me and everyone else, right. Boring. Social media is a place for posting about cats and witty repartee, not reaching out about insecurities. What is it, 2011.

"These are the Drowned Halls. On the Periphery of this Region the Waters are shallow, tranquil and covered with water lilies, but in the centre they are deep and treacherous, full of broken Masonry and drowned Statues." Happy birthday Susanna Clarke.

I love pastel de natas, have wondered for years if the Sainsbury's pastel de natas are any good, finally tried one still warm today and. No. They are not.

if I were a ghost I would simply not allow myself to be busted

so many of the things so-called AI does already existed, and they were better. We already had very good transcription software. shifting to AI is just unnecessarily injecting Clippy into the process. "It looks like you're trying to --" NO I AM NOT SHUT UP. DO NOT SPECULATE. TRANSCRIBE

I don't want to brag, but I found space for another bookshelf in our house.

If u are having a bad day, just kno that my friend's cat she's cat sitting accidentally stepped in her own fresh cat box poo last night, freaked out, and ran all around the flat with poo covered paws. May you too howl with laughter at the volumes of this poor distressed bad-bathroom-luck kitty.

Well, I may be the last queer woman under 40 to get a crush on Chapelle Roan, but don't worry, I got there.

I was unprepared, as an American, for the weird, ubiquitous party-time love the UK has for the song "Mr Brightside" by the Killers.

Adagio for Strings came on shuffle during my walk to work as I was desperately looking for a toilet.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Swallowing my ibuprofen with coffee in the morning like God intended.

Just reread a poem packet I sent out on submission and I still like them but so help me god every single one mentions the moon. Someone revoke my poet card.

It’s important to me to feel a little excited about my outfit every day

I need everyoneto know that the cat just came into the room, farted, (audible regular human fart volume) then took off running at top speed away from the sound like a rocket.

There's been enough repeated success now I think I can say it: I have figured out how to cut my own hair VERY well and will now be doing it for the rest of my existence. 🌟

Our polite little rescue cat must finally be getting over his past traumas because in pure cat form the little butthead play-bit/scratched my hand at the end of a tummy rub this morning.

In sprained ankle news, I can walk up to 4 miles it seems as long as I rest with foot up for 10 minutes after every mile. Beyond happy at this tiny win! Thank god I'm sure there will be enough stress around every corner to ruin it lol.

I just saw a guy I used to think was really cool with a soul patch and now I (correctly) think less of him.

I am, at my core, a person who always owns a pair of red corduroys.

The dog I lived with in Alaska before has died. :( RIP Pippin. You were a wonderful boi. I remember him freaking out about the sound of humpback whales on camping trips, puking up seaweed and watching the sun rise. Our windows were smeared in snot from his sneezes. I freaking adored him. ♡

I am hereby exiled from Vinted until such a time as something targeted and specific is needed. For, in my heart, I know I am too weak.

A LOT of joy at change in flavours of wet food this morning. Baby likes lamb.

How am I a human person supposed to budget responsibly for the month in which I am changing from 2 longish term part-time positions to a brand new full-time secure position?

Last full day at a job I've had for 2.5 yrs. Weird.

The sweater I'm wearing today is one my best friend convinced me to buy in yonkers 23 years ago. I was 15. ♡

I have a start date at new job. The security is real 🧡

The dentist is often definitely a shakedown back home in America, but this is the first time I've felt like it was in the UK too. Sneakily trying to schedule a private cleaning for cost one month before the free nhs one. God.

Fionn the cat says "get em while they're hot!" ♡♡♡

Not to Glasgow all over your weekend, but I just saw two guys drinking Buckfest at a bus stop outside the Hovis factory in their work clothes and it was so iconic that I love them.

Man, being a member of various online mountaining groups so I can see what people post could not be a better deterrent to keep me from ever posting on them.

The only time I care about Starbucks is pumpkin spice season because I live in the UK where that flavour is hard to find and the targeted advertising right know is WORKING. Not cool.

In ankle news I overdid it and knocked recovery back 5 weeks so now we're looking at late September. Boo. I will survive.

I would love to see the stats on lateral ankle sprains once smartphones hit vs before. I bet it skyrockets.

Good morning to everyone but especially the mating pair of comorants that live under the bridge by my work ♡

It is amazing how many world problems I seem to think that I can solve by repair-darning holes in wool jumpers. But HEY, look at this one thing I CAN fix!

Saw my first cormorant today. THEY ARE HUGE.

I would be okay with things getting better, in general, like if the universe is listening, like there's a lot of room for growth there, but idk maybe also an iguana needs another horn or something.

Super excited for the new New Writing Scotland from @asls.org.uk and New story from @scottmcnee.bsky.social within ♡♡♡ asls.org.uk/publications...
