Weird question but does anyone have £500 worth of work I could do to afford the other half of my rent? Something I can do while looking after someone else/in silence? Big ask I know. Any writing, editing, help with speeches, presentations, a course on overcoming anxiety, anything at all?

Home for a couple of nights, my back is confused by not being pretzel shaped in the morning. Four hour car journey in the morning so it'll be in familiar territory soon, already loaded up Rogue Protocol (Murderbot Diaries) and Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie audiobooks to keep me sane.

Are we sure it's "rapture" because it's far more likely that God is sending a Raptor to deal with all this. Ascension to heaven or crazed reptilian killing machine? Which do you think sounds more biblical?

Imagine god realising he made a mistake halfway through rapturing you haha! Can you imagine! Haha ridiculous! Unrelated but does anyone know how to get down from an electrical pylon without pants? No reason but it is a bit urgent.

In my tiredness I nearly ruined a sticky toffee pudding

Perfect weather to sit in a vascular surgeon's waiting room

As I'm spending roughly half my time in a hospital at the moment anyone got any good book recommendations? Light hearted would be great, preferably sci-fi or fantasy

Miniature painters, I present to you one of the most horrifying hobby messages I've ever received. For context I'd given a friend some Lord of the Rings miniatures as an introduction to painting for their partner.

A friend has started making his own dice, last night he gave me two of his first sets. I'm so impressed

Our council has officially stated anyone can put up any flags on any street lights as long as they're not offensive. I guess it's time to completely undermine some racists with the aid of Gondor.

My new insult for people who paint flags on roundabouts

Sums up the current state of the world. More ‘uncivilised’ countries would be having revolutions by now. Our complete acquiescence to neo-liberalism has been cowardly but not unsurprising.

Youngest on people painting roundabouts with an English flag: "It's like a stupid version of Where's Wally, where X marks the moron"

Being English means being embarrassed by your own country on a daily basis

I used to bake all the time when my kids were still kids and not full adults, trying to get back into the swing of it. I'm meeting friends for roleplay tonight (5e, yeah I know) and took the opportunity to refresh my cookie proficiency.

THE HOLY BONES! Grimdark basing is BACK - very shortly! Close enough that we've opened a bunch to pre orders, they're due as soon as they've cleared customs. They sell out REALLY FAST so recommended not to snooze. badsquiddogames.com/shop#!/A-Tal...

One of the only silver linings to spending most of the year sitting in hospital waiting rooms and on wards is that I've read a lot more than usual. Just finished John Gwynne's Bloodsworn trilogy (starting with Shadow of the Gods) and highly recommend it. Viking fantasy at it's best.

Finally worked out how to use Dirty Down's Verdigris. I love the Trench Crusade models and this Brazen Bull is a joy to paint. Just the brass and flesh done so far.

Ever since I got ill my mental health has been on a downward spiral, I haven't been able to look in mirrors or even do video calls. I've hated everything about myself. Last weekend I finally felt myself for the first time in a year. I didn't feel like I was too much for people, I felt like me again

This whole nail varnish thing has got a bit out of hand (pun intended). Spent a whole £1.79 on a metallic pink nail varnish called "Shirley Temple" while wearing a pearlescent gold called "Serenity" at this rate I'll have a full collection named after exotic dancers.

Apologies for the quietness, it's festival season here in the UK and I'm up and down the country hosting things. I even got caught on camera doing it this weekend www.instagram.com/reel/DNfDpJC...

Personally I hope we find out that what Gollum was doing while wandering about looking for the ring was either solving a series of cozy murders (Precious We Wrotes) or performing in an incompetent hobbit amateur dramatic troupe (The Ring that Goes Wrong)

New favourite TTRPG interaction from last night: Monk: "You can tell he was a villain, he was monologuing, all villains have monologues" Rogue: "Yes, villains and vaginas"

New Batman villain just dropped

Question, is someone I know using AI to write a sci-fi novel a good enough reason to finally write my own sci-fi novel? Is spite really the best motivator?

Redid my nails but with pink under the glaze this time. I can't explain why this makes me so happy but has become a big part of regaining self esteem

Deadly chinchilla.

Cartoon: Found 'em!! :)

I impulsively shaved my chest two weeks ago and unlocked a new level of lasting and continuous sensory hell which perfectly sums up my experience of neurodivergence.

Shout out to the bloke on The Great British Sewing Bee last night, who won the first week with what I can only assume was meant to be relaxed evening wear for Psi Division’s Judge Anderson @2000ad.bsky.social

water left in a glass overnight tastes bad because it gets haunted

"Bluesky is dying" has become something of a meme due to recurring opinion pieces claiming that Bluesky is "dying", an "echo chamber", or both. Here's a quick and dirty analysis of the phenomenon.
