Had a shitty day at work, where my confidence at what I donwas severely shaken. Only to have a former student contact me out of the blue to tell me how much he appreciated having me as a lecturer and how much I helped him to grow. I am now in tears.

Happy N7 Day!

Another sleepless night for no reason... these are becoming the norm.

It's ok not to express an opinion about everything.

Fighting Sunday scaries with fresh bed linen.

Having a delicious Yuzu Paloma to calm my nerves after being accused of 'inspired moment of leadership" at work.

Just having fun with some swords

Enjoying Hades 2 massively right now! Apart from having to beat a certain boss!

Cant wait for Hades 2 tomorrow!

With the latest UK news, it seems I have about 4 years to pack my bags. If you think it won't happen,well...Yesterday, it was Brexit, today is people with ILR, tomorrow, dual citizens. Growing up in a communist country I learnt one lesson. Nothing lasts forever. Live accordingly.

First day welcoming new students.. the registration system, timetable, and pcs in the lecture theater are all down... I give up...

After I spent a month in a sunny, hot climate, I am now struggling to adapt being back on the UK 🌧 I usually love autumn but this year I am not ready to say goodbye ro summer yet. I qm notnready to swap my iced matcha latte to pumpkin spice late either.

Spent the day cleaning the old apartment and found some of my old tech. Both the Polaroid and diskman still work.

Now that I am back home I had my yearly inoculation with silver water. We take lycanthropy seriously aound here.

This morning's breakfast!

Oh no! Getting sick the last two days of my holiday! What nonsense!

Who knew beach towels can be so fast on political commentary.

Another day at the beach!

Enjoying the beach

First dip in the sea! Finally on holiday

God, if I were to be recreated by AI based on my social media posts 😬

Looking for Star Trek tabletop or board games recommendations!

Finally Annual Leave!

A lot has been said about Lewis Hamilton and his disappointment with himself in Hungary. To me this felt so relatable after another shit day at work where no matter what I do it just doesn't feel enough. It makes me feel a bit better that even someone like Sir Lewis has moments like these.

That is unspeakable. You can do it to kittens, you can do it to anyone and anything...BBC News - Cats electrocuted, drowned and starved cats in online torture groups, BBC finds - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Totally random but one benefit of getting older is seeing the generation that made you feel so uncool and desperately out of date and cringe get their just deserts by their younger generations. The circle of life!

My internet saga continues, the fiber optics might be snapped somewhere! Time to fess up cable!

And now I have locked myself out of the apartment. Just fantastic.

Oh, my broadband is down and I might need to call an engineer. Facing days without Internet! No gaming or TV, or working from home...and the weather is shit...I know its not he end of the world but damn.

RIP Ozzy, the Prince of Darkness makes his exit!

Always happy to visit with Spot who treated me to an evening of purring and climbing all over me.

A friend sent me a video where someone asks a woman in her 40s 'why do you keep buying beauty products' and she answers 'because I cannot buy emotional stability' and I feel called out!

Best part of pre-graduation preparations

I am in a bit of dark place so I asked ChatGPT to write my obituary. Based on the kind of things I have asked it. The results are hilarious. 'Died laughing at my obituary generated by ChatGPT'

Companies and institutions don't own our lives and they certainly don't own our deaths.

It's so hot that I am considering an only fans account. If it goes well I will upgrade to only air conditioning.

Fab time at the Forever Now festival. The weather is cooperating for now.

Trent Reznor opening in Manchester with 'A Minute to Breathe', the Coop Arena absolutely silent! I admit it I cried.

Three hours to Manchester but so worth it (it was supposed to be an hour)

Three hours stuck in traffic on the way to NIN and Peel it Back tour but we made it!

Finally finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and yeah I need a moment.

Sun's out Aperol's out!

I used to have vivid, amazing dreams, even when having nightmares they were memorable. Now I feel like I haven't had a dream in years.

It feels like my boss wants me to quit my job. I have no other explanation about the workload I am being given. I feel like I am constantly failing at everything and I don't see the point of going on.

What a fantastic event that's was at Leeds Waterstones! Discovered so many many fantastic authors and books, and had the pleasure of meeting authors whose work I adore! Now on to a full day of reading! @strangeupnorth.bsky.social

It has been a day, or a few

This sums up the feeling of dread I am feeling once again, the same feeling I had after Brexit. eastangliabylines.co.uk/lifestyle/co...

Absolutely loving #Expedition33
