when historians look back on now, I think our society will be defined by how we made everything worse all the time because nobody wanted to be even the slightest bit uncomfortable for even a moment

if I could broadcast one message to every single person in existence it would be this: people don't hate you, you just have an anxiety disorder it would shut down the AITA sub Reddit but I think it would be worth it

I fully believe in letting people be little weirdos in public but bringing a pint of milk as your train drink???? no I can't cope with this this is too far

neurotypical is when you'd rather be uncomfortable than look stupid, and neurodivergent is when you'd rather look stupid than be uncomfortable

Stand up, fight back.

"we trained a chatbot on everything humans said online ever and it immediately chose to lie about everything and anything with insane confidence" feels like an episode of Black Mirror that got three seconds of consideration before being binned for being too on the nose

happy birthday to this one dog and all the horses in this hemisphere

HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE! Finally, our days will start getting longer again! Dracula:

delivery driver dropped my can of pop when he brought my food. restaurant wouldn't replace it so he went to the shop and bought me a replacement himself. what a guy, faith in humanity restored. gutted as Just Eat doesn't have an option to give a tip afterwards though

is it now that the window for Spotify Wrapped closes? can't wait to see which 100 Taylor Swift songs I've listened to most this year (it's Crazier at number one I guarantee it, where my Edinburgh night 2 pals at)

it's just occurred to me that before photography was invented, there was no need for a concept of "in black and white" and like... did it just not exist? or did people paint in monochrome for fun or like. what happened

I've said it before, but it was a mistake to give everyone a personalised social media feed with a comment box under every single item. it has made everyone insane. not everything is for you and not everything needs your opinion and you need to learn to cope with that

Knickers at half mast today everyone, for Jilly Cooper x

Taylor update your Spotify profile it's still TTPD what an oversight I thought I'd broken it or time travelled

Taylor time. round one: deep lyrics listen round two: Ophelia on repeat round three: vibes listen

I genuinely think a society focused on building resilience in people (through kindness not cruelty, because that's how it works), wouldn't have all these problems that a society built on "I must avoid all bad feelings at all costs" does

If you see this, post your cat art! 🐱

completely out of nowhere theory but if Life of a Showgirl is about the Eras Tour what if each track is inspired by an era, making it an eras album

love seeing adverts for the Transpenine Express like the TPE wasn't already my favourite train, you already won this one guys don't worry about paying for ads

well, the brief period where my Swiftie mania was under control is over, sorry to everyone who has to subjected to my music and infodumping

me, packing a litre of oat milk for two nights away: why is my bag so heavy

Congratulations! Your timeline has been blessed by David Tennant and Peter Capaldi through the years! Pass 🕙 it 🕘 on 🕖!

After Aziraphale fell he stole Crowley’s throne. He also opted for a darker tartan, but kept his waistcoat.

"don't do anything I wouldn't do" is great advice from some people but like if it's me I'm probably gonna say "don't do anything I would do"

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

I'm just saying but if you saw "it's my fault" as "that means I have the power to fix it" rather than "I'm a Bad Person" you'd be way harder to sell unnecessary items to. I wonder if that's on purpose.

“You can’t seriously tell me that people are unquestionably adopting things into their belief systems because someone on TV or in the papers said them? I will never allow anyone to call me ‘gullible’ again.”

me today after getting my hair cut: why does my neck itch like I've had my hair cut recently?

I think the WhatsApp people know that I don't need an AI feature in WhatsApp because they've put two big buttons in for it on the main screen and I assume they're hoping I touch it by accident

it's always worth having a shower cos sometimes you think maybe I'm depressed and actually you're just sort of sticky

if you haven't bought something in a while and you're like, huh this should be cheaper shouldn't it? a quick reminder that 79p is now £2.50 (in shops, not, obviously, in wages)

Labubus aren't that exciting to me but god damn I'd take a hundred posts of people being excited about them over one of someone complaining about them, let people have joy there's so little of it left

Black Sabbath could have told Tony Iommi, you can't play guitar properly after your accident, we'll get someone else. instead they said, what can you do, and we'll all go with that, and they invented an entire new genre of music. accessibility helps everyone

I think a lot of cis people who take it for granted that they pass as their gender are going to find in the next few years that under scrutiny and paranoia, they absolutely don't

you can and should train yourself not to be furious about everything. yeah it's annoying that everything sucks. letting it ruin your day is a choice

question for the masses. if you bought an open return train ticket, would your expectation be that both journeys were flexible or that outward was set and return was any train?

amazing that we raise kids to only understand punishment, not natural consequences or creating a stable society, and now all anyone can imagine is fascism. who could have predicted this

can't believe I attempted to teach my dog to rest her chin on my hand and what she learned was to aggressively grab my hand, force it onto her neck and then glare at me until I give her treats

the internet used to be full of people saying stuff that didn't happen but now honestly it seems like every day I see someone going "why does this always happen" about a thing that very clearly they saw happen exactly one time, decided it was an epidemic and got furious

Weekend well wishes in the form of one very gorgeous pookie!

at least I'm staying hydrated in the heat, I've got four empty pint glasses and one full one with squash next to my bed

the persistent urge to check AO3 every three seconds immediately after publishing something even though you promised yourself it was just silly and you don't mind if it doesn't get read

I was in a queer bookshop today when I bumped into a friend and it occurs to me that bigots hate Pride and they hate mosques and they hate drag shows because they don't have community. give them a sense of community and most of them will quit being bigots. they want what we have.

I feel like I'm high risk for losing all my money to Labubus but currently I'm just not vibing with it, Build a Bear you still have my wallet for now

when you're mad about every single tiny thing all of the time, you're really easy to sell things to. that's all I'm saying

there's this whole industry of bots that leave really mean comments on fanfiction to desperately try to stop people writing fanfic and I don't know what's so powerful about fanfic that it needs to be stopped but I'm gonna write more to find out

not even as a trans person but as a menstrual cup user can I just say how FUCKING INCONVENIENT any toilet that isn't a fully enclosed cubicle with a sink inside is? I'm not stepping out in front of ANYONE free bleeding on my clothes to wash my cup in a public sink. fuck women's toilets
