Heeelp, we're stuck inside our server *bangs on window* :ohai:

Pretty sure no advance in computing has improved my life quite as much as being able to hold multiple things in my clipboard.

Oh! I've been on Last.fm 21 years today!

#thursdayfivelist #colorfulpictures Something Corporate - She Paints Me Blue https://youtu.be/8hMfz_WVADI InMe - White Butterfly (🎵 Paint a perfect picture over me 🎵) https://youtu.be/Wsg8Hm53beo Crash Test Dummies - When I Go Out With Artists https://youtu.be/N2fXt_RgfSc Jack's Mannequin - […]

For today’s #thursdayfivelist it is my turn to come up with a hashtag and I thought why not combine music and visual art. Exactly 192 years ago, on February the 26th 1834, Johann Sebastian Staedtler announced the invention of the wood-cased colored pencil based on oil and chalk. 🤓 All songs […]

New mattress day! Still gonna stay up til midnight to listen to the new Nothing album.

Huh. Remember how I mentioned the other day that when I was 12, my dad brought home a CD of his colleague's band for me to review/copy to tape? I've just discovered their songs were added to YouTube the other year, so that's been a blast from the past. 🎵 Drive - For Me To Know […]

Me: I'm meant to rotate my new mattress every few weeks, but I don't have the space to do that easily. Le boyfriend: you could just sleep the other way round? Genius. I am genuinely going to do that 😅

This is what contentment looks like. #catsofmastodon #catstodon

This seems to be the week for rediscovering dark Scottish bands I haven't listened to in a while (so far: Sun Shines Cold, The Twilight Sad, Cocteau Twins).

Extremely compelling title page

It always takes me a moment to remember what 'SJW' stands for. My mind jumps to 'Sarah Jessica... Warker?'

New Twilight Sad song :ablobcatheart:

Nothing like office chat to remind me I can't relate to 99% of humanity.

#tunetuesday #thebubble I mean, I listen to music all the time to take the edge off the abrasive sounds of the world around me 😅 but this is a song that's new-ish to me that I've particularly been enjoying getting lost in recently. Ritual Howls - Coils and Magnets https://youtu.be/_nU2dKNlxLg

New Nothing song is good. Four days until the new album :blobcatdance:

Error message: 'TCP Provider...' Me: oh, like Boots or Superdrug?

Next door have a temporary cover on their garage roof weighed down by bits of wood, and the wind is making it undulate like waves. It's quite calming to watch.

9.02am on Monday and I already have one email asking for IT help, and another asking for graphic design advice. I'm in the web team.

Snowbike!

I have too much on this week, but at least my new mattress is arriving on Thursday, so I can sleep comfortably afterwards?

Happy birthday to the bloke from HOT FUZZ #hotfuzzday

A woman I know has had to be temporarily housed in a hotel, and she has to be in by 10 every evening like a parolee or something :blobcattableflip:

Had to Shazam this because I genuinely thought she was singing 'chicken burger' :blobcatwhat: She Can't Love You by Chemise https://www.shazam.com/track/40042096/she-cant-love-you?referrer=share

Get ready. Angry Sightless Scribbles post incoming. Yesterday a fucking Tech Bro just came into an independent bookstore, where everybody was happily reading, drinking hot chocolate or tea, and this dick hole just decided to come in to try to promote his stupid shitty AR but he called it an AI […]

Basically took to my bed at 8pm last night because I was so headachey and wiped-out after board games, and now I'm resentful at the loss of valuable reading/music-listening time. Stupid body.

@dilmandila yup - first ones that come to mind are a local synthpop/post-punk band whose singer died way too young; the band of a guy my dad worked with whose CD I was lent to review and copy to tape when I was 12 (they were also stopped by an untimely death); and the odd MySpace artist whose […]

Does anyone else have songs from artists who perhaps never made it beyond a handful of fans? I have some songs I treasure, got the CDs from the musicians or friends over 10yrs ago, but they've dropped out of the radar and I can't find them anywhere. Just their voice haunting my speakers like a […]

#thesundaystarter AFI - Ash Speck in a Green Eye https://youtu.be/R3r8-aXgymM Appeasing the earworm. It's a banger anyway.

You'll never tuck an AI model into bed and kiss it goodnight, or attend its graduation. (Says me, who's screened herself out of reproducing because she'd make a TERRIBLE parent. But can see the appeal of some aspects of it.)

Quite aside from anything else, it's hard to see the point of AI music when there are so many real artists I want to try out or listen to more of, but there are only so many hours in a day.

A day like always. Leosia (Kujawy, Poland) is eating with Leon. Despite having identical food and bowls, she eats his the moment it is available. Later, they like to run with each other. #cats #cat #CatNews #CatsOfMastodon #caturday#catsofmastodon#CatNews#cat#catstps://cat-news.news/

LinkedIn verification can only be for data harvesting purposes, surely? Why would anyone need to verify themselves on a platform that's absolutely stuffed with people it's deduced they've known at one stage or another of their education/career with creepy accuracy, unless they really are a fake […]

It's a bit early for #Caturday but I just found out that at the CUS (university sports center) offices they have an armchair reserved for the local cat and I thought the Fediverse would like this piece of information.

I wish there was a service that let you team up with other awkward people who want to see the same show. There’s a show on in Glasgow that I quite fancy next month, but social and travel anxiety always stops me.
