had a horrible nightmare on saturday, then went back to sleep and had a peaceful, trancelike dream about being at the snooker. don't think I've ever watched snooker, so I'm assuming this was conjured by all your posts 👍

idk how parents cope with the constant deranged projections of the gender regime onto their kids by other adults

This is the first website built entirely on the purity of the user's soul. I'm having no trouble accessing it. If you are then you must look within

@iebrdgt.bsky.social did you independently just find my main (whose name cannot be spoken) or did you discover it was where I post the other 40% of my thoughts (typically the more boring ones that won't get me reported to my workplace) 👀

Got new sofas and it's actually great and pretty relaxing to lie on them instead of a broken 10-year-old sofa bed. More breaking news as we have it!
