Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

Im not stressed, im simply a person experiencing 2026

POV: you are so locked into a modern first-person identity bubble that for the set up to any piece of ‘content’, you need to be offered a three letter cue to try and imagine yourself somewhere else and in someone else’s mind before starting to take in story data.

The ocean is so friendly. All it does is wave at you.

Every time I walk past this bit of fallen tree I can't help imagining it scuttling around, crablike, after sundown, and getting up to no good.

crazy that the only reason we know about the gravity crisis is because of the bodycam footage of that cop’s apple fritter floating up into the sky. the lid was blown off the whole conspiracy by a guy calling for backup in tears and demanding they find his breakfast

I know it can be a bit cringey when people put their children on social media but I decided to change my banner and include my seven youngest in it. They've had a fucking rough year, and it was touch and go for a while back the start, and I'm proud they've made it through it.

Ordered Chinese takeaway by phone. Told them “love you bye” at the end of the call. Eeeekkk

When your mind goes blank but the thoughts still race.

THREAD. Hello new followers! This is my latest novel. It's about many things. 1 Old dusty objects (especially records) 2 The power of friendship, and landscape. 3 Quieter forms of magic 4 Folklore (the kind we know, and the kind still to come). 5 The differences between the 20th & 21st Century...

Where we're at.

Finished today and loved, @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social - as a chaotic 1980s primary education beneficiary, I had nostalgia tears several times. From Morris Travellers to stapling stuff to the wall, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain and ZX Spectrums … and aliens. Just wonderful.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. On the plus side, you can sometimes withdraw cash.

Wow, it really feels like fall. The season, sure but also of democracy as well.

got drunk at a bar and went home with a guy. we ordered wings and as i'm taking my first bite i see guy in my peripheral eating a piece of limp celery, trying not to cry. i was like uh are you ok and he starts crying and goes no I’m not bc i'm vegan. i lost my shit laughing and he kicked me out.

AI is going to revolutionize the way in which things suck

Tom, @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social - I loved Notebook, it has the paper effect on the soul of a good walk in the country followed by a pint with friends in an eccentric pub ❤️❤️❤️

I was okay until someone asked me if I was okay which caused me to think about if I was okay and now I'm not okay.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

[after reading exactly one work email] i am going to go lie face down in the parking lot

Every time I walk through a village or town & see English flags - which is every time I walk through a village or town in England right now - I wonder why no other European flags make me think instantly of racism and threats of violence, but also "England has remarkably shit ugly flags, doesn't it?"

Some interdimensional portals I found on walks yesterday and today.

Donald Trump is ordering the National Guard, ICE, and law enforcement to turn America into a police state, but at least you can be rest assured preventable diseases that were once eradicated by science will now shorten the time you have to live under authoritarianism

I’m joining the war on Autism, on the side of the Autism.

Unimpeachable used to mean "entirely trustworthy and beyond doubt" and now it means "a mf absolutely should be impeached this is the clearest example of what impeachment was designed for and yet"

this is just to say I have done the work I'd been avoiding for 3 weeks and which kept me awake several times thinking about it forgive me it took 37 minutes it was so easy and so dumb

Mayonnaise is basically sandwich lotion.

Meeting the other third grade moms is wild because some of them look like they could go straight to the club or the sorority house in their crop tops and some of us look like we're about to go home and whip up a Snickers salad for Barb's bunco night

You’re telling me there are doornails that are alive?

You should be able to screw a tomato into a light socket & just flip on some warm, summery tomatolight

i wonder if maybe we should stop writing post-apocalyptic fiction just until we're sure that's not where rich people are getting their ideas

Shazbot!

i remember growing up as a kid, i always wanted to not get nuclear bombed

I just want to remind everyone out there that rest is an actual thing you do and when you do it you aren’t doing “nothing,” you’re doing something essential to your health and wellbeing and also essential if you want to do *anything else.*

@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social - thanks for the follow, have a pickled onion

This is important. No, very important.

if you got time to lean you got time to slowly liquidate into a barely sentient pile of ooze on the walk in floor

Some things are best meant to be left zoomed out.

Micro chips and lager for tea. Insert deep sigh here.

My life is a constant battle between thinking about doing stuff and thinking about not doing stuff.

Apparently some Canadian coffee shops are replacing the americano with a canadiano. I haven't seen the recipe, but I'm assuming the new drink is a cup of hot poutine gravy.

Everybody stop listening to sad music and start listening to mad music until we get this figured out
