Shouldn't have given a cricut to a shitposter

If anyone wants evidence I am not, in fact, a masochist: Epillating fucking sucks. Ouch.

The conclusion: The collection and the future. That concludes my walkthrough of the collection. I'm broadly pretty happy with it. There's a couple of places it could be improved reasonably, and of course a few places I'd go if I was going full send.

Day 11: The final day. The final dive style. The Steeldive SD1970. A homage to the classic Seiko 6105-8110 "Captain Willard" diver from the late 60's-early 70's. Because like the Seestern Doxa homage, I like a retro diver, but I can't afford retro diver prices.

Vague platitudes and an em dash? Fuck off. I'm real happy to block AI accounts trying to pretend to be people.

Day 10: The Shanghai 7120 The only manual in my collection. A real simple little 3 hander, and the closest I have to a proper dress watch.

So it's Disney's Pocahontas, if Pocahontas was Xenia Onatopp? Incredible.

Kings of Leon did predict this tbf 😬

"I need a nice, real classy watch for formal occasions. something that goes with a nice dress and heels" The humble (hah) Hamilton Ventura: (Anyone feel like gifting me...A several hundred pound watch)

Let's say you had roughly £20 of Amazon credit. What would you spend it on to make your life better?

I stuck it out for a while, because of a handful of accounts on there who don't really post elsewhere (or at least, less than on there) But yeah. By the end it was fucking awful.

flipping holiday opening hours, I'm running low on ketracel white

Day 9: Every watch collector should own one: a Casio! This used to be an F91W, but those are a bit crap, so after the 2nd one broke, I upgraded to this w-218h Either way, it's the perfect beater, great for grubbing about in car engine bays, or other stuff that risks trashing a nicer watch.

Day 8.2: This is where my day 12 watch would live.... if I still had it! This slot was occupied by my least interesting watch, a H&M quartz I bought for ≈£10 as an experiment. But, one of my partners was over on Friday, and expressed that she didn't even have a watch.... bsky.app/profile/kall...

And honestly, being able to share my interest like that, even with something second hand and utterly uninteresting ❤️❤️❤️ And of course, it does mean that a space has opened in my collection..... (And I have to fight the urge to fill it with another Vostok)

Taking a tourist trip to the tokyo filming warehouse.

I have been seeing a new trend on social media of neurodivergent/depressed people motivating themselves to clean by putting on Celtic or medieval music and pretending they're an innkeeper cleaning up their tavern. I just...I love neuroweird people, man. I love us.

Clive Dune?

Day 8 Mondaine! Picked this up on a bit of a whim honestly. Patterned after the swiss railway clocks, I like the design. Mechanically it's utterly interesting - a basic quartz. They do automatic versions, but unlike the quartz, those cost £££

Caught after flying into your house at night, and messing up your pots and pans

Day 7 Vostok Amphibia "KGB" Wait, haven't we seen one of these already!? Yeah, this is my OTHER Vostok Amphibia. I really kind of love these little things.

I disagree: JD Vance recognises that unlike Russia or China, Britain and France are more likely to be swayed into being ruled by similarly fascistic governments aligned with his own, by this kind of rhetoric. It's bully behaviour. "Follow us or else"

Y'know what? If you can't get my name and pronouns right, I'm just going to leave, family event or not. The "but it was so long to get used to the old ones" is wearing thin after like.. 4 odd years.

It's an older picture, but..... I heard you like women with swords?

If you're a trans woman it's imperative that you take up the sword

oh, okay, so it's fine for jesus to be strung up on a cross, but when i, a trans woman,

There is of course a funny bit in reposting this same article for the next couple of days, word for word.

A reminder that "Rudolph the red nose reindeer" is the story of someone (rudolph) being mercilessly bullied, and authorities (santa) clearly turning a blind eye until a chance scenario where he became economically valuable.

On the one hand: this movie slaps. On the other: why is Peter Cushing getting top billing? He's not exactly a central figure in the whole thing!

Oh, the eyebrow singer 5000!

.....I should get a throat mic. .... correction: I should get a throat mic that works.

All I will say is: sleeve is an overrated place to put the mic. Collar line is where it's at.

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

Alan Alda will return as Hawkeye in AVENGERS:DOOMSDAY (2026)

It didn't do anything for me. But it did cross my mind that my PT describing a particular move as "it's like you're an action figure, and ..." Would have hit very interesting for some of y'all.

I realise I have my little watch collection, and I talk about it piecemeal. And given the Christmas period gives me a chance to break out some of the less everyday suitable pieces... I'm going to wear one a day, and talk about it, and then jump off to where I see the collection as a whole.

Oh no. Folks. She's feeling the "new watch" urge....

god tommy really is the grift that keeps on giving

whoever said that prog works better if you take it rectally, please explain that to the medical team that just spent three hours extracting the dark side of the moon from my backside

Ok. Here is the question: Can I clear the hassle hurdle of getting splinter cell and splinter cell: panadora tomorrow running on my system? Or am I going to end up either rebuying a game I technically already own, or just giving up?

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Friendmass outfit! Great to spend time with friends chatting absolute nonsense for an afternoon.

Oh good, Paul lost. Please tell me it was the kind of loss that involves phrases like "beat the brakes off" and "was sent on the lightless walk"
