hashtag winning (as per usual) sat with her to have lunch and she was interested in what I was doing (reading a parliament bill)

Just received my full driving licence in the post. Conflicting emotions: severe dysphoria, annoyance at the bad photo, hatred of car-centric infrastructure, yet also freedom and independence.

Idk who needs to hear this but ACAB includes anthropologists

birthday today

Best thing about being close to people from other parts of the world is it gives me an excuse to become uncomfortably knowledgeable about their country

So surreal when two oomfs that I associate with completely different friend groups interact with one another. like. that is not your oomf that is my oomf exclusively. you know? Obviously irrational and I don't actually have a problem with it, but makes my mind feel funny when I see it.

In my head I'm so much more forward and confident but then when those situations actually happen I turn into a blushing mess.....

Just watched all of Broadchurch over ~4 days I'm not obsessed totally Just mentally and emotionally destroyed

I'm often conflicted on whether I'm a 💙 or a 💜... I'm attached to the blue because of Nerissa Ravencroft, but purple is my personal favourite colour, as both Herta and Marcia.

birthday tomorrow

Done! I think they both went reasonably well, but maybe not "better than 75 other people" well.

I currently have two separate staplers living on my desk for some reason

The annoying thing about getting a hold of academic history books (ie the kind with inline citation rather than just pop history) is that they're really expensive. Best way to get them is going to charity shops and secondhand bookshops, but then there's much less choice.

Got 2 big interviews today, hopefully they go well! I'm thinking they should, but you never know. It's around 100 people competing for 25 spaces, so decent chances. Wish me luck!

awesome lesbian "I ended 8 wars" evil and intimidating Thailand and Cambodia in the corner:

everyone's doing it so might aswell!

Been a bit but gonna do this

Doing this too

Nefarious that bsky doesn't make bookmarks public, makes it harder to guess the crushes on that thing going around lol

I'm so curious chat..

Unripe Brie is the worst.

I passed!

About to take my driving test wish me luck

Ooh, that's interesting, I hadn't had the chance to check before. My follower count doesn't go down when I'm blocked by a follower, if they don't unfollow first. So my follower count could be much lower than it looks, just from being blocked by people! Fascinating!

me trying to figure out why my twitter is showing me lots of Irish people all of a sudden:

Shame when otherwise cool people fall out with you over a really very minor argument.

First skircle in quite a while! Really shows how a lot of my closer friends have been posting a lot less recently, they've fallen out of the top few slots. Say hi if you're here though!

Unsure if many people I like just don't use bluesky very much any more, or if they actually hate me and don't interact with my posts because they hate me Odds are it's the latter right?

People would be much better at healthily and happily consuming media if they understood characters as mere engines through which the plot takes place rather than as pseudo-people. I'm not attached to characters very much because they're not 'people', they're just the way the plot occurs.

I always find it funny when people dislike fictional characters. Like, you're beefing with someone that doesn't exist, chill.

Sorry for my recent posts being rare and short-tempered when they do come, I've got a busy and stressful week coming up that will seriously impact my academic and general future. I've been worrying.

Excited to see what happens to the Gävle goat this year.

I'd always thought Dallas was just a soulless hellscape of a city with no culture or identity. I still think that, but now I know there's a giant eyeball too!

Thankful to live in a Lib Dem/Tory contest constituency so it's easy to know who to vote for next GE lol

I like Marcy, she's really cute and smart and sweet and pretty and interesting and fun. I like being her friend. I engage with every one of her posts and ensure that she doesn't go without interaction for too long, lest she grow mildly annoyed and antisocial. -no one apparently

I'll try this too, now that it's going around again!

The British experience is getting a random very official-looking letter in the post out of nowhere, thinking for a second you're secretly the long-lost heir to a country estate, then it just being an NHS letter about an appointment. They really should put the NHS branding on the front.

It's a tricky business, rearranging one's bookshelves to look good on camera. I want to make it clear that I'm interested and engaged in the subject, but if I display all the books I own on the subject prominently, I look like an utter suck-up.

I've yet to see an opinion piece in any news provider that I like or agree with. They always seem to be the least informed people with nothing worthwhile to say.

I've been quiet onlibe today huh The result of me not feeling well and also spending a lot of time with her lol

My eyes are extremely bloodshot the last few weeks for no reason seemingly Nothing has changed in my lifestyle, I haven't gotten any less sleep than usual, I'm not ill, etc It's quite worrying.

Actaully very funny how often Tories on Question Time mention the Rwanda plan as a good idea Like, just let it go! It's dead! It's buried! Stop fucking bringing it up!

Watching the newest Question Time... Zack Polanski is great so far, I've liked the look of him for a while but this was the first time I've heard him speak for an extended period. Very good.

Finally, Oz's voice actor has learnt the bare minimum of how to pronounce German. No more 'main fraulein', now it's actually 'mein fräulein'

Trying to photograph the moon but it's going quite poorly... Glad now that I didn't try to make it a date, I'd have embarrassed myself.

#arlefuri 😃

Always freaky to me when I remember that Turkish wasn't spoken in Anatolia up until the medieval period basically... Weird to think that Alexander the Great heard a completely different, non-Turkic language when he went to Gordium, for example.

good morning

being more into tech than the average consumer but less than the average tech nerd is hard.... Lots of things that need doing, but I lack the ability to do them Even just moving minecraft from one hard drive to another to free up space has failed and now I can't reinstall optifine

The way I love Americans doing the worst British accents in the world is somewhat masochistic.
