I'm always absolutely horrified when I get into other people's cars as a passenger because it's apparently normal to use your car as a dumping ground for everything including sweet and crisp wrappers 1) it's gross 2) I inevitably slip on something getting in and out 3) clean your fucking car

I planned a productive admin day and then my friend who lives 2 mins round the corner was like "wanna come and put up your tent in our garden and eat ice cream?" And I'm not sure how else I could respond except "obviously yes"

Honestly extremely happy with this 👏 I got 6/9 on the Tube Sound Quiz! 🟢🔴🟢🟢🟢🔴🟢🔴🟢 Can you identify London Underground lines by sound? tubesoundquiz.com

Be friends with disabled people because we have free companion tickets

I figured out my age limit for dating. If you were not alive when Kurt Cobain died you are not old enough for me to date you. That doesn't preclude anything else I just can't take you seriously as a human being/romantic prospect and I think that's pretty reasonable.

Anyway it's quite nice that it's 8pm and still light outside

It clicked the other day that I am quite depressed but it's not really surfacing the same way as it used to. It's more like a general feeling of detachment, disconnection and disinterest. I'm doing things but I don't store any memories and I'm not really present like I used to be.

Current status...

I feel like I have a weird relationship with writing ATM..these observations are useful! substack.com/@kierancutti...

I love how people who haven't had butter for like 7 years will confidently tell you that something made out of not-dairy "really tastes like butter" HOW WOULD YOU KNOW???

Putting 7yo to bed 7yo: can you come into my bed? I want to chat to you Me: ummm sure. Oh wait, is this about Stardew valley? 7yo: yes 🤭 Me: ok 🤭 He then proceeds to ask me lots of questions about characters or items and how to get stuff It's very cute

“Hush now, be still. Soon you shall be one of us.”

Cyanotypes. Absolutely shite

Started watching How to Get to Heaven from Belfast... It's v good and I'm so baffled by what the hell is going on 🤔

Start doing my tax return Turn on music to make it less awful Now I'm just singing Bruce Springsteen in front of my spreadsheets

America is beyond saving but there are people who think we need cars like this in the UK and I just want to say: absolutely not

Met @francespurple.bsky.social for lunch in Borough Market, decided to buy chocolate covered figs (?) and a bag of Monmouth coffee that smells absolutely delightful Good Friday tbh

Going on holiday with eight other adults, a baby, and a 4 year old, really teaches you a lot about yourself

Ok so I've realised that my planetary mnemonic is outdated My very efficient memory just stored up nine planets doesn't work in any way now that pluto is a dwarf planet

We were talking last night about our favourite moments of the holiday and several people said "when we went kayaking and Soph was pushed into a tree" 😒

Not exactly friend

We went to a restaurant last night, tried to order starters and mains and the guy refused to let us have starters, because "big portions". I ordered a coke and he rolled his eyes. My friend tried to order vegetables as a side and was also told no, because "big portions". Classic Balkan hospitality!

New friend

Slapovi Krke

We had such a gorgeous but long day today and I am still thinking about this little guy that I watched bathe for a while, enchanted by how magical and privileged it felt to be trusted to stay so close ✨

Over 17k steps, 6k walk, kayaked 4k I literally have clumps of tree in my hair I have never deserved an ice cream more

A Dalmatian in Dalmatia

What's interesting about this and the recent parkrun thing is that Nike seems to think there is some rift between runners and walkers. The running community actively encourages walking as a means to get to running, as a way to recover mid-run, and as a literal strategy for completing marathons.

Me: hmm yeah I think I'll have one drink and go home *Cuts to 20 mins later, Soph in a club dancing to New Order*

Today has Not been a good food day 😫

Friend

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

I'm pleased to say that the EES is not working so 👍🏻

Holiday starts here! We checked in, they thought it was our anniversary (?), upgraded us, then downgraded us Ah well

The skittles taskmaster task... We're all cracking up. Not laughed so much in a long time

Sorry to my neighbours who must have heard me going DO YOU WANNA GO ON A KAYAK OR NOT!?

I don't understand how there are supposedly reasonable caps on travelling in London yet I was just charged £25 Can I just say once again that in NYC the subway is $2.75 and it doesn't matter where you go on the network, it's open 24/7, and has express and local trains and somehow manages to work ok

I've found a new project

Watching the John legend JCS concert and it turns out I remember way too much of the songs and so I'm just singing along 🎶For the sake of the nation This Jesus must die Must die, must die, This Jesus must die🎶 It's surprisingly catchy 😬

I think I would honestly be happier not knowing like 90% of the stuff I am forced to know through virtue of having access to the internet Yeah I'm being a grouch again

Are DMs broken for anyone else? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Why is it people who work for the council just love changing how bins work?? It literally goes to the same place, it doesn't matter if I put everything in ten different bins

Stratford Westfield is a very strange place (long-time hater, first-time visitor)

Had to pause to cackle for a few minutes because yes Geralt has certainly changed, he's literally a different actor

Ok so @meelar.bsky.social sent this to me, from a place in Jersey City And is it me or is it basically a hate crime? Reinforces my belief that NJ is full of wrong'uns (tho my favourite physical therapist came from there so he is the exception)

Very excited for a Q&A with Michael Pollan about his new book and consciousness 😁 Big fan!

I hate this in so many different ways

I am so sick of this stupid video trend where it's like "7 things you should know about" and it's just a person standing in a park, and you have to read the caption to get the 7 things but because the background is a park it's basically impossible to read the caption so now I'm annoyed

Hard to explain to someone who hasn't experienced migraine just how dreadful they are

I just need to check I'm understanding correctly here. Iran was stopping ships from passing through the Strait. Trump wanted them to stop stopping them. They have not stopped stopping them. So America is now stopping them instead. ?
