If more people went away, life would be a lot easier.

"For everything else, there's Mastercard." This is definitely worth a watch, for multiple reasons. 🌟

I've been avoiding saying the typical greeting since at least 2017, as it kept getting worse & worse. I tried many different iterations, & even given up for a few years. This year? BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES, FOLKS, IT'S GOING TO GET EVEN MESSIER - GOOD LUCK, US! 😣 #NewYear2026

What amazes me, is how you get so much custard out of such a small cat.

It is one of life's greatest tragickal upsets, that upon quoting both Blackadder and Bottom in the same multi-person conversation, nobody else gets the references, because they've never seen either. 😭

The endarkenment continues.

THE PROJECTS THREAD I have one of these elsewhere, which I'm not ready to leave behind yet, so I'm starting a new one here for the future. I record all my arty-farty attempts as proof to myself that I tried. Creativity (when my brain lets me) is good for my mental health, which I battle with.

Come on, #Editors, #Writers & wishyouweres, here's something for you to get your weirdy writey bits into! This is a great opportunity to show & discover talent out there! My own story's currently being contemplated by 2 absolute stars*. 🌟 *gluttons for punishment 🤪 #WritingCommunity #Christmas

Stop blaming absolute assholery on mental illness and/or dementia - some people are just absolute assholes, enabled, encouraged and championed by other absolute assholes.

In a bizarre and unusual thingamewotsit of an event, my brain cell suddenly fired up, and I MIGHT have had an idea for a sweet entry (that's what she said). 🤔 If I can maybe manage it, you definitely can! #Authors #WritingCommunity #Christmas #Stories

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

If it was you who just DMd me, and you see this, I've not got verified on here yet, because I'm a dinosaur who doesn't trust all this personal information and face sharing. That means that I can't read DMs, sorry! 😣

Years of being on the local Facebook group and it’s finally worth it coz someone has posted something a bit funny

It's about to get spooky in here and I'm not just talking about all the mental illness.

Halloween's nearly here! I've been getting lights ready for tomorrow's possible trick or treaters. This year, I've gone for... CAT PUMPKIN! I just tried to think of a way to make that sound like it's a Thing, but only came up with, & immediately stopped at, "Cumpkin". 🤦‍♀️ Pussy Pumpkin? #Halloween

What a treat for all you tricksy #Authors out there! The annual Weird Christmas #Competition has rolled around again, only this time, there's an exciting twist! Get your quills sharpened & your brain juices... braining, and plunge the world into the depths of your bitter, twisted Yuleful soul!

I'm back with a winter season of online talks, starting with Dating Ancient Buildings. Join us on Tue 25 Nov to learn how to use archives, archaeology & dendrochronology to understand the age of historic buildings. Booking is now open, here... www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dating-anc...

I've just been reminded of why I avoid social interaction - I'm apparently not gifted in the Being Clear department, but I only accept being called a pedantic asshole when I'm actually being one. FFS. 😭

@seandunn76.bsky.social NOOOOOO! 😭😭😭😭😭 IT'S RIGHT THERE IN MY CALENDAR FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS, AND I'VE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON IT, AND I STILL BLOODY MISSED IT. 🤦‍♀️ I'm so very sorry, dear Internet Friend. Happy Belated Birthday! 🎉🎉🎉🎂🎉🎉🎉 🤗🤗🤗💖

Actual proper nice things.

I know a really cool young organic farming couple and they had a baby this morning. : )

Is there any nice news out there? Has anybody got anything GOOD to share?! Anything positive that doesn't involve death, violence, destruction, pain, ignorance, fear, hopelessness, anger, all the bad bollocks that we're completely suffused with?! Anyone? 😭

I see somebody has messaged me here. Unfortunately, I'm not age verified because I don't trust anybody with my face or data. 😭 So if you DMed me, I hope you see this, so you know that I apologise. 🤗💖

It's the middle of the night, & Anxiety means I've just been sneaking around in the dark (streetlights are out & I turned my bedroom fairy lights off), cos I heard some tapping outside, & what if somebody's just nicked that part off my Jizz/Jazz car that is susceptible to car part thieves?! 😱

This is bizarre and brilliant amd weird and beautiful, and I love it. 🥰😂 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Sound on.)

We need your help! The East Anglian Folklore Centre is having a fundraiser. We desperately want to keep our space open and have achieved so much this last year. But for it to continue we need your support. As little as 50p and a share would mean the world. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

We are going to be running a series of fascinating online lectures with some of the world's leading folklore researchers every couple of weeks right through into next year. They will all be ticketed via EventBrite, so please follow our page at www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/the-folklo... to get notified.

Attracting like-minded people used to be a good thing, but then all the mental illness happened.

Bluesky doesn't want me to fully use their site anymore. No more DMs (for both of you) on here, sorry. Fucking government. I'm not giving random companies a face scan or my credit card details. Fuck you. Kids will get around this easily by nicking their parents' details, whilst AI nicks those, too.
