update: I never heard from him again

went to go see “black sabbath: the ballet” last night and enjoyed it for thoughtful reasons like how they connected metal & classical music, combined art forms, etc. but also I like whenever ballet dancers are forced to do styles that are about being crazy and imprecise because they do Not like it

Was hanging with my friend’s child who was pushing this lil puppet in & out of a container & I went “yeah get it in there” & he started saying “get it in there” to himself so when I gave him back to my friend I had to be like “hey I might have accidentally taught him something that’s gonna haunt us”

why does the village not have a fat bear week themed club night

huge shout out to the battered italian man last night who, mid way thorough act 2 of starlight express, said at full volume: ‘okay enough, thisa getting silly now’ you are my hero

just got hit with the world’s most intense craving for a brown cinnamon sugar pop tart

A couple months ago a guy I went to high school with messaged me and was like “hey I’m gonna be in the UK in September, it would be great to catch up!” But he never told me when or where he’d be. So all month I’ve been walking around like…is it here? Is he here now?

Was reading this on the train and an old lesbian came up over to me before she got off at her stop and went “it’s a good book, isn’t it?” 💜💜💜

Went to go pick up my hold from the library and delightfully discovered that the person with the library card number right before mine is reading the same series that I am

This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?

The thing that Buffy, Lucifer, and Suits has in common is that there’s a character that’s spoken of before they’re seen and you think “who could possibly be cast who could live up to the hype” and then they hit you with DB Woodside, handsomest guy in Hollywood

Roller rink at 7pm on a Wednesday is where it’s at if you want to skate with 4 lesbians and no one else

Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."

Each day you should wake up thinking "how can I spend more time in TEAMS?" and "can the TEAMS app open up any faster when I start my computer??" or "is there a way TEAMS can be connected to every surface of my life? My food? Air? And love-making?????"

Very obsessed with videos of all the food from the Minnesota State Fair. One person had to take a food nap halfway through the day, said she thought the corn dogs gave her stress dreams, and then immediately went to get another corn dogs because they were that good. When I tell you that should be me

wife went to the office today :((((((

Asked a very drunk mathematician which axes of a graph were most likely to have explored each other carnally and got given a very thorough and thoughtful answer that I did not understand a word of

I am DEEP in a Springsteen hole currently and can say with total authority that the best bit of “Born to Run” is during “Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out” when Bruce says ‘and then Big Man joined the band’ and Clarence Clemons does a lil riff to let you know that he’s Big Man and he joined the band

A weird thing about consistently being read as male is that now when I accidentally make eye contact with a man he gives me a lil nod and I have no idea what I’m supposed to do with that

There are 4 working days between me and my new job and the existence of videos from the Carly Rae Jepsen Emotion 10th Anniversary show is making it extremely hard to care about everything I need to get finished

The Google AI tool is sexist, which is crazy. How could we know. They only made a translation tool that was reported to be sexist years ago. They only took pictures of the entire world and then claimed that reporting on gender bias in pay would be too complicated for them.

I do SEO as my day job, and it's been recently discovered that ChatGPT conversations are actually indexed by Google So yeah this isn't an exaggeration - you might completely and irreparably destroy your company's - and your - reputation.

Best headstone inscription already taken, turns out

Listen lil recipe blog writer, you can tell me all you want what I’m supposed to be using, but all those ingredients are still going in the Big Pot no matter what

Not enough reviews of the Naked Gun are emphasising Pamela Anderson’s line delivery of “I love a sick little boy”

Last night at the cinema we had four (4) ads for trains plus a PSA about not walking on train tracks. What cultural moment am I missing to cause this

Experience of end of Fantastic 4: wow I had such a fun time! I sure would like Pedro Pascal to gently caress my face as I pass out from the effort of defeating god!! End credits: THE FANTASTIC 4 WILL RETURN IN WHATEVER FUCKING CROSSOVER EVENT Me: crazy how that doesn’t concern me!

Mystery Chapel: Does anyone recognise this chapel? It is most likely in the South East of England, might be a hospital or institutional chapel, and was photographed in the 1950s. The photographer was a TB patient around this time, from St Paul's Cray and latterly at Eversfield Hospital, Hastings.

About to submit my citizenship application and it is kind of weird and alienating having the last 14 years of my life boiled down to a letter from a solicitor saying “we believe Lois is a person of good standing who fulfills the legal requirements of citizenship according to the relevant statutes”

Took a nap, had a really intense dream where I had to figure out who the most famous British dog is, awoke, stumbled into the other room to demand the answer to this quandary from my partner and they just started answering no questions asked about why I needed to know this information

Had an ultrasound in preparation for a hysterectomy, and I know the point is getting rid of it but I feel like they didn’t need to dunk on my uterus like this

Was flipping through this book thinking “I wonder what sources they used, I had such a hard time finding things when I wrote about this” and it turns out the sources they used include me! That’s my MA thesis out in the wild!!!

Feels wrong that Shakespeare had a character called Toby. Ol’ Willy didn’t know about Jack Russell terriers how did he know about Toby

Who isn’t excited by AI when there are ads like these extolling its virtues

no one at work has complimented my beautiful new beard this is transphobia

All video games should be able to be someone’s first video game. I am sick and tired of games just assuming you know the controls or not telling you where the menu is because they figure you know from other games you’ve played

Just finished reading “The Tainted Cup”, a very wonderful fantasy novel that combines all the fun of a good mystery and all the tension of Impending Beast Attack

My mom likes to send random parcels of childhood photos so here’s one I got today: the most swagged up baby of 1995

My brother made a transmasc friend and to tell me this he sent me a picture of them together and captioned it “hey do you ever wonder what it would be like if you were even shorter than me”

BEYOND rude that Carly Rae Jepsen is hosting a 1 night special anniversary gig for EMOTION and it’s in LA instead of my living room

My favourite superhero as a kid was Superman based 100% on the fact that he’s the only one proven to have the appropriate level of appreciation for people called Lois

Looks like I won’t be transferring client files via WeTransfer anymore then.

I am just unable to believe that a company (Microsoft) that can’t make a decent search engine for the email client it’s had since 1997 has made an AI that is actually smart enough to find any information and revolutionise my life

Beat the heat! Wrap an ice pack in a dish towel and desperately clutch it to your chest like a teddy bear

Lately when I feel too stressed about the news I look at this picture of pikachu and it’s been doing a lot for me
