Look, if you use the phrase 'oh I'm just a plain speaker' to defend being shitty to a colleague then you're an asshole trying to cover it up, quite frankly, and go on the same list as people that trot out 'just to play devil's advocate for a minute'

Well, that's my first ever piece of workplace disability advocacy done 😎

Another day, another fucking racist query about "housing migrants in hotels" that I'm not allowed to respond to appropriately (ie with the requisite abuse)

I'm sure you guys are all great at shopping like normal ppl but I wish I could remind some folks: Take bags, or at least don't kick off at having to pay for one. That's been the law for 10 years now. Don't fucking haggle, you're not Indiana Jones You're not The Protagonist. Neither's your kids.

Goddamn

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

Very disappointed that Fennell's "Wuthering Heights" is going to be absolutely terrible (can someone prise the romantasy BookTok girlies' sweaty hands off the classics please) because it looks so visually interesting (and both those Charlie xcx songs are bangers imo)

amazing that we used to get accused of being on Twitter too much and now our fucking government takes its worldview fresh and steaming straight from there

Play this game, it's honestly great

“AI” is just a tool like anything else. it is not a god or an end-all, be-all. if we could just stop taking every single cycle of tech bro hypeshittification seriously the world would be so much better off

This, actually

London friends/Death Stranding fans - I've just put my tickets for tomorrow's Strand of Harmony concert up for sale, but if you want one (or both) directly from me let me know (£45 each) (my own fault for buying tickets back in March when I was in the headspace to go lmao)

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.

It is 'Evermore and casting on a cardigan' sort of weather, isn't it

I designed a horseshoe crab sweater and published it on Ravelry on National horseshoe crab day! If you ever thought to yourself “man, I really want a hand knit sweater with horseshoe crabs on it” boy do I have great news for ya www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Tank. Girl. Shower. Scene.

I truly believe that Wes Streeting has the ideas, the charisma, and the likeability to be an even more historically hated Prime Minister than Keir Starmer

My status update box just has a shirty message that says "email the shared inbox WITH the case number as not all cases are mine" but this is a much better use

Fun fact: a dog ran at full pelt past the window of the registry office when I was getting married, chased the owner who almost cringed into a ball when they realised what was happening in the building. My maiden name was Fenton. Much hilarity ensued.

I just backed Killtopia: Phantoms #1 on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/bus...

Oh good the work neurotypical is trying to make problems for me again

did not expect the site of Thomas Beckett’s murder to be memorialized in a fashion that is quite so fucking metal

For anyone who is like “the creature is also named Frankenstein”; Mary Shelley went to see a play version of Frankenstein and was tickled that they listed the creature as “———“ in the dramatis personae: “this nameless mode of naming the unnameable is rather good” www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/3...

it's the time of year to remind people of one of the best patterns on Ravelry if only because the photos of the pets are so exquisite www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

I would prefer it if Wes Streeting did not become Prime Minister

Oh no, the new Wuthering Heights film looks *awful* but that really *is* a great Charli xcx track huh (John Cale elevates it superbly)

Oh man The Eagle of the Ninth books by Rosemary Sutcliff and Christian Jacq's Rameses series are prob. the 2 major reasons why I have an Egyptology & Ancient History degree Girl, Interrupted and The Bell Jar were very important in showing teenage me she wasn't alone (and I re-read GI every year)

Said the words "I don't know, I'm disabled and I need the help" out loud in a meeting today re: getting an extra task list and the look of sheer disgust on my co-worker's face said a LOT

This is gorgeous work

Finished Faith & Fire; enjoyed it enough to go straight on to Hammer & Anvil #AmReading #SistersOfBattle

A halloween books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Cultural appropriation eeeh, but they were certainly wrong about it (it was intarsia ffs)

Husband *finally* repaired the speakers that we were given and have languished unused in the living room for 8+ years, and sorted out the amp That plus Tidal's quality bump compared to Spotify = happy wife

It also has the best comment under its YouTube video.

She also worked on my beloved Crimson Peak 🤩

We are annoyed by the BBC because it in fact embodies precisely what it is to be British now: Cursed by a legacy of institutions & led by a whimpering class of fearful idiots constantly harassed by a hostile media.

On this day, Dr. Manhatten first reappears after his atomized destruction in a lab accident. Happy November 10th to all who observe.

Settled down for some more Space Marine and I tell you what I bloody hate squig bombs (also the Inquisitor should have been sexier, I'm just saying)

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Ohh you could waste HOURS on this...

This is what future celebrities were supposed to be, not politics streamers

Next Friday 14th at 1pm GMT I'll be giving the Digital Lunch talk in the University of York Digital Archaeology and Heritage Lab, King's Manor, G/60 or online on "(Not) Dying of Anticipation: Video Game Archaeologies of Contemporary Play"

Today's a good day to remember Rosalind Franklin, British chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose untimely death meant three men shared a Nobel prize for discovering the structure of DNA for which she'd done most of the work.

10/10 take. No notes.

Work: please do our AI survey! Me: AI is a plague that does not belong here, and if you are using it to write your emails for you without good reason (learning difficulties, disability etc) you do not deserve to have a job Work: 🥲 OK thanks
