Happy World Diabetes Day to all who celebrate - or involuntarily participate. 😄 Here's to us warriors. 💙

Astronomer and writer Carl Sagan (Cosmos, Contact) was born 91 years ago today. He died in 1996. "There is no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to..."

RIP Drew Struzan

RIP Drew Struzan A master.

Hey, it's been a minute. Hope you're all doing well.

In Swansea. "Let's go into town so I can activate my backup pay as you go sim and get a case for my new work phone." Guess what I left without...? Just ordered a cooked breakfast and forgot my insulin pen, which is the spare pen, because I left my other insulin pen at home, in Ebbw Vale...

Sainsbury's Malted Milk are so inferior to Morrisons, I feel genuinely offended for the cow on the biscuit.

You know you're AuDHD when you catch yourself worrying about being a burden asking ChatGPT to help strike the correct the tone in a message for the umpteenth time... 🤔😳😂 ...while I have been very much against AI, I support creatives, jobs, I'm using whatever 'tool' is necessary to help me function!

Happy Towel Day! 🤘

Going to give Beyond Blue a shout-out for those seeking chill blue-ocean diving experiences with an edutainment bent. Abzu is also well worth your time.

May the 4th be with you!

My brain has been squirrels at a 90's rave this week. I've: Worn a smart watch for three days that I forgot to switch on. Driven to work for a face-to-face meeting that was a Teams meeting. Driven to work for a face-to-face team meeting... a day early. Worse of all: I've let cups of coffee go cold!

Andor season 2 👌🧑‍🍳💋

To know me is to know Canadian/BBC made 'Orphan Black' is one of my favourite sci-fi shows. Easy to forget, that's Tatiana Maslani playing each clone in this dance scene - and unlike siblings, it's difficult to have a favourite. 😁 If you haven't: I recommend. youtu.be/uWWLQKMAUDQ

i don’t trust people who aren’t overly caffeinated and don’t use “fuck” as a sentence enhancer.

Remember when William Shatner tried saying something deep and poignant about our fragile earth after his blue origin trip to space, and bezos was stood next to him and started squirting champagne around like the small-dick-energy, shallow, ignorant fucking bellend that he is?

Broke through on the ADHD questionnaire barrier, at last. A question asking for as much information as possible about your suspected ADHD... I can only imagine answers less than a few chapters long coming from folks who lost their keys, forgot to fasten their zip and missed refuse collection, once.

Janice Voss wasn't on tv or married to a billionaire; she went to space 5x because she had advanced engineering degrees and years of specialized training. This is what an astronaut role model looks like.

Inside you there are two wolves

This is high art

Sibling time in the sun. 😎

When you're on the phone with that "know it all" customer. 🤣 #StarTrek @deckslower.bsky.social

Trans Day of Visibility! Pet Shop Boys "Winner" features the London Rollergirls roller derby team and their new rookie, Dirty Diana, who is transgender. youtu.be/S7dBVXiydR8?...

Just landed from Fuerteventura. Screaming baby two rows back: The. Entire. Flight. Noise cancelling headphones can only do so much. It's 02:30-ish. My train to Manchester Piccadilly is 04:07. Home to bed by, 11-ish, if lucky. "It was worth it", is what I'll say on the other side of sleep.

Forgot to mention, my flight to Fuerteventura left from gate B5 and the pilot was Sinclair... Was also sat next to a toddler, which is kind of my version of Z'ha'dum.

Dr. Gillian Taylor: Do you guys like boobs? Spock: No. Kirk: Yes. Spock: No. Kirk: [at Spock] No, Yes. Spock: No. Kirk: Yes, I love boobs... [looks at Spock] Kirk: And so do you. Spock: Yes.

Replace one word from Star Trek with 'boobs' and make it awesome. "They love you very much, but they are not the hell your boobs".

Overnight stay at Manchester Airport. Fly to Fuerteventura in the morning. Good thing I decided on an overnight: Cardiff to Manchester trains got cancelled, after I was sitting for nearly an hour on the train waiting for it to leave - had to go to Bristol Parkway and then get the train from there.

Bea Arthur (1922-2009) was a U.S. Marine in World War II. And her participation in the war effort is now scrubbed. The actress from Maude and The Golden Girls also appeared in The Star Wars Holiday Special.

[Ongoing thread] The (*space) sci-fi recommendations thread I'm going to gather here all the stories I love, all the ones I recommend above all to those who are curious. It's just my personal opinion, of course, and there are bound to be things you'll like or dislike. 🖖 (*mostly)

Is David Tennant somehow aging into Peter Capaldi

Right then, let's finish 'Severence'!

Champion's drive by Sir Lewis Hamilton in the sprint race. 🤘 The Grand Prix is a different beast, but it's night and day compared to Melbourne.

Quite proud of myself: I was only one hour early for a 2pm opticians appointment today. Okay, so I was couch-locked, in 'waiting mode' from 9am until I left the house, but small victories... 💪🏻😂

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.

"I didn't vote for this". Yes, you did, sausage; you just voted thinking all the bat-shit crazy wouldn't effect you...

I've been struggling with my mental health and confidence lately since coming to terms with my ADHD. Well, had a blast working 'You Me at Six' the other day. Hadn't done any gig work in 5 years; forgot how much I enjoyed it. Encouragement to dip my toes back in was the confidence boost I needed! 🤘

After some gentle encouragement (badgering lol) I'll be working my first crowd security gig since the Lockdown started. Stewarding until I renew my SIA security licence, but good way to dip my toes back in. 🤘

The French would've burned the place down by now...

I'm so looking forward to this F1 season. As the late, great Murray Walker said: Anything can happen in Formula 1, and it usually does. It will be interesting to see what rejuvenated Lewis Hamilton brings to Ferrari.

Really good diabetic review: moving over to Fiasp, getting four brand new Novopens (been using the same ones I was given in 2009!), also considering an insulin pump.

To know me is to know Babylon 5 is my favourite sci-fi thing in the universe. I also love a good monologue. Why space exploration? Why go to the stars? youtu.be/DvwYfBbioLI?...
