🥰 starting things 😰 finishing things

God bless middle class friends and friend-of-friends who have families with nice houses where I can celebrate Midsummer. Or just have nice apartments to host in themselves. Without that I don't think there would really be a holiday for me at all.

Why exactly are events I'm invited to through mail automatically added to my calendar even when it's been marked as spam??? Make it make sense.

Gotta get my hands on a screengrab of that reversed STOP sign in Backrooms. Felt so represented as a POTS girlie. #ChronicIllness

I've been looking forward to four horror movies this year: Undertone, Hokum, Backrooms and Obsession. So far Undertone and Hokum have both been underwhelming but Backrooms finally provided me with some good horror today. Fingers crossed for Obsession!

To me the least flattering is just when I'm compared to whichever fat woman they can think of who looks nothing like me. 🤷‍♀️ Most flattering maybe Christina Ricci? That's also the only real celebrity I remember ever being compared to... and it was a while ago.

They're YOUR cartridges and they're used because I used them but then had to take them out and clean them in order to use them up fully. Jfc.

I was gonna do summer movies for my Letterboxd favourites this month and accidentally ended up with three imperative sentences. Anyone know of a good third one I can use? (Still needs to be a summer movie, I'm sticking with that.) #Letterboxd

You know what? Even if this doesn't work on me at all I really appreciate the pun.

A lotta straight white men do it too!

Watching TV shows where characters reluctantly attend parties thrown by their nemeses and realising I would do it all if there's free food. I don't care if I hate the host, just give me the food.

My parents have been pretty open about their pasts, but I only recently found out that that memory of going to Stockholm as a kid and hanging out with my dad and his girlfriend was in fact not from a period when my parents were broken up. And my mum did not know I'd met her.

I finna be in the pit of suffering #Dimension20 #DungeonsAndDragQueens

#LastFourWatched Highs and lows (the high point being Josie and the Pussycats of course).

😩

Fuck it, I’ll run you and your buddies a game, hit me up. I’ve introduced dozens if not hundreds of new players to new games over the years and people invariably enjoy Anything Other Than D&D the most.

YES

I'm helping my mum with her application for sick pension for her ME/CFS and it involves a surprising amount of reading research papers from journals of neurology. *well, maybe not surprising to me, but probably to the general population

Mum's making a hotel booking on her dang phone. Clearly that's a big screen purchase.

I'm not being rude it just takes me a while to get to where the words are, and then to get back, so I may appear present in this room, but I'm actually a few blocks away. So "it'll just take a minute" actually translates to "it'll be about an hour" considering the round trip.

For fuck's sake

Looking at photos from yesterday and realising I don't have dimples, but dimple (singular).

Very fitting that the Spanish verb Despertar means “to wake up”. It’s certainly when I feel my most desperate.

I absolutely do not have any clue how to make friends as an adult, actually. But I think I need to??? Crap.

Probably my first order of CDs. It was Rancid, The Clash and Ramones so the albums don't really reflect the time period but CDs, oh man! for the Swedes: It was on CDon back when that actually was just an online media store.

I need an email opt out setting that's like, "If your company emails me about AI one more time I am going to burn you to the ground"

I'm not that great at figuring out the culprit in crime shows before they're revealed, but sometimes basic facial recognition does it. My one and only useful skill in that context.

Going to Toronto for TCAF but also the week after. Any recommendations for food, activities, stores?

Yeah I'm into BDSM Binding Damsels to Train'S Mtracks

I would genuinely enjoy a gospel choir cover of Come on Eileen. I guess I am the target audience. #SNLUK

Just stumbled upon this piece of news that hits right where my interest in labor rights overlap with my human rights studies. It's mind-blowing that there even are agreements on the right to organize without the right to strike entailed, since the two go hand in hand. news.un.org/en/story/202...

This is really great if it helps people read! It would personally drive me ABSOLUTELY FREAKING BONKERS. Few mundane things are more grating to me than listening to someone read a text I have right in front of me, and waiting for their voice to catch up to my eyes on the page.

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Have I done the one task I need to do before tomorrow? No. But I have made myself a new starting page for Chrome. So.

Fifth season of Hacks and it may have reached its pinnacle with Ava screaming "Siri how to sink a superyacht NO AI"

My helpful addition to PBTA Discourse is realised I haven‘t published my first design in the form, WHAT HAPPEN?

The idea that there is something to be learned from arguing with ignorant dickheads must have been originated by an ignorant dickhead. We don't have to accept it. There's really nothing to be gained.

You can't get to know me by 10 artists I've seen live, but those who enjoy that sort of thing can look at the list and nod approvingly (or shake their head disapprovingly): Bikini Kill Fontaines D.C. Kneecap Iggy Pop U2 Green Day Talib Kweli Angel Haze Brooke Candy Timbuktu

It makes perfect sense that it's hard to sleep when you have heart palpitations, but it's still very freaking annoying. 😖 If this is gonna be a regularly occurring side effect of the beta blockers, it's not worth the upsides.

Started watching Rivals because of all the Alex Hassell thirst edits on TikTok - ended up re-igniting my crush on Aidan Turner. Not a wholly unsurprising turn of events.

The right editor is out there looking for a pitch for an essay about the state of late night TV, and the upcoming anniversary of the dumpster episode of the Chris Gethard Show, and all they need to do is let me know

Nothing makes me feel quite as my dad's birthday posts for his wife... when it's a month after my birthday and she's finally just two years younger than me.

Sometimes when I'm on the toilet with diarrhoea 8 times a day, painkillers aren't doing anything, I'm constantly gassy and bloated and get random shooting pains in different parts of my body... I think about those women claiming that it's internalized misogyny when women hate their periods.

This is very good to read!!

Catching up on #Hacks. Deborah doing spontaneous stand-up in the jail is very Marvelous Mrs Maisel (and I'm not complaining!)

A lot of you are fearmongering about hantavirus. I don’t think it’s all intentional, but it’s not helping.

This baby in an episode of Bones looks SO FAMILIAR and I feel like I'm going a little crazy from not being able to find out why. No baby actor listed. 😖

I loved Butterfly Soup and this looks cool! Those who can afford to should back it.

I think the 'bingo instead of classic drinking game' option for movie nights is good, but it does need some finetuning. 🤔 Unlike Hackers, which is a perfect movie, obviously.

Well, I currently don't have a working computer... 😓
