Okay well nature apparently hates me. Got stung by a bee in Manchester last month. Now I get stuck by a fucking WASP. It is NOVEMBER. Just sitting on my sofa, minding my own business, stung on my ankle through my sock. Didn't even disturb it! I saw it before I left for work too, forgot about it.

Lovely meal tonight, final 30th b'day treat! Middle Eastern vibes, these photos are only half of the £36/head 'feast'. - Spiced pigeon, pomegranate molasses, pistachio - Hummus, harrissa hogget - Venison loin, venison and barberry borek, celeriac - Caremelised onion labneh, confit garlic

Back home seeing my mum for the weekend, and for the final iteration of my 30th celebrations. Coming home always carries with it some mixed emotions, but mostly positive. I often find myself wanting my furry friends around me, and I tend to message more during this time. Keeps me sane x3

I play this dumb zombie idle game on mobile, where you have alliances with people around the world. My pfp is my Fursona and I have a silly furry name, and now everyone has started referring to me as a 'pup' and the alliance's 'pet', and honestly they have no idea how affirming (& hot) it is lol.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Just got a very unexpected pay rise at work! Always a good day when that happens :3

I've got the anxiety tummy hurties today pls go away :c

Call me Lindisfarne, cus there's nothing I want more than to be wrecked by a boatload of Scandinavians~

I love Stephen Fry, I want to be like him when I grow up ❤️

Well, that's a wrap on my first Doggy Weekend 😢 I mean, what can I say? I had an absolute blast, and am now a sad pupper that doesn't wanna go back to being a boring human. Thank you for the amazing reaction to my set, it was truly surprising ❤️ #DoggyWeekend 📸 - @shrugsbur.bsky.social

They drew Hobbes too sexy

Oof already sad it's my last full day at DW. Funky headspace lol, but that is almost 95% due to the lack of coffee!

Arfff! Thank you to everyone that came to my set, I had an absolute blast, tech difficulties and all. Aaahh the sweet, sweet relief of now having no responsibilities for the rest of the weekend! Time to become a dog :3

I paid £10.87 for a single vodka and red bull last night and that will not be happening again 😅

I have arrived in Manchester.. and immediately got stung by a bee 🙃 Silly thing got caught on my jacket cuff and probably went into defense mode. Think I stopped it mid sting but ouchie!

Off we go to be a dog all weekend! :3c

Oof the Doggy Weekend anxiety has set in 😬😬

So excited to announce I'll be performing at Doggy Weekend! (@doggyweekend.bsky.social) I'll be opening up the show before the insanely talented @pentuppup.bsky.social takes the stage :3 First time at DW, first time performing in Manchester! Catch us Friday 17th, 19:00 in Cruz101 🤗

Dinnerrrr Roast chicken with carrot and onion panzanella! (the chicken roasted on top of the carrots/onions 🤤)

The AI chatbot ad makers have finally figured out I'm a furry and have just sent me the most furry AI dating/chat ad ever, featuring a big muscular wolf and a subby little dog lmao. I hate that it's AI but I'd rather see that than a barbie-smooth looking dude with a 9-pack lol

When is FC going to bite the bullet and simply refer to itself as it should: The Plagal Convention.

Cleaning out and organising my cupboards... and I found someone's driving license on the top shelf??? I have lived here for over 6 years this is so incredibly random. Pretty sure it belonged to the previous tenant, it expired in 2017 lol.

Warning: wholesome post When I was in London over the weekend my niece (3) and I (now 30) did a watercolour together. As our first (of many) masterpieces, I felt it only appropriate to frame it and display it above my door! "Rainbow" J&A, '25 🌈

My colleagues made my return to work so lovely, I've never been spoiled like this at work before 😭😭 The bag is filled with a bunch of lovely artisan treats - pasta, wine, pate, capers, olives, and more! And lemon drizzle cake 🤤

I think the otters stole the show today! A short thread of cute videos of the precious scamps:

Today I turn 30! Its been an odd decade, but I am hopeful for the next one. Spent some time today at a local conservation park, which was much more of a gem than I realised. Good day :3

Well that's a surprise! One of my orchestra colleagues just straight up gave me her guitar because she wasn't using it anymore. Not a b'day present per se, but I'll treat it as such :3

Had some incredible thai food for my birthday dinner - none of the standard things you get in English Thai restaurants, small plates, only like 10 things on the menu (we got pretty much everything, and everything was just perfect. ❤️🇹🇭

Guess who managed to snap the key to his flat in half 🤦

Shoulda brought pup hood. Prime photo opportunity, missed!

And the birthday celebrations commence with a couple of nights in London seeing family. Spending the afternoon wandering around Brick Lane/Spitalfields market.

Does anyone else find it exhausting when you're in a group of people, be it working/hanging out, in a group chat etc, and the dynamic of the group is endless banter/jokes? No room for sincerity, or "okay, let's just focus for a sec and get this done".

When someone ends their first email to me with "thank you for your quick reply" I will go out of my way to reply to them last.

CW: Musk, Bulges Lil puppies like to act all tough but they just can't resist a big cat's bulge 😳🥵 (first art I have gotten in yeeeeears and of course it's suitably degenerate 🤗) 🎨 @Strawbshibe (on the birdsite)

My homemade pizza game has significantly improved since getting a pizza stone and experimenting with slow fermentation! :3

Brain's not doing well. Life's not particularly good. The world isn't particularly great either. If I could change everything I've done in the last year, I would. I just want to be happy, to give and to feel love, but it seems like that's too much to ask. Sometimes, I wish I wasn't who I am.

Well that's 2 nights in a row that I have have poured myself a lovely drink, sat down, and then proceeded to knock the entire thing over. I am not a cat, I swear.

I'm such a sleepy boy today my goodness. Just flopping all over the place 😴
