Didn't have "Fix accidentally fascist imagery on someone else's slide deck" on my Tuesday bingo card, but we move.

Cheeky little pilgrimage to Gay's The Word and also the bookshop they used for the exterior shots of Black Books.

Visiting London with my dad and brother - Turkish cafe on the corner of Marchmont Street and Tavistock Place, basically across the road from Gay's The Word. Best breakfast I've maybe ever had??

New Chappell Roan single incoming!! and she's giving Supernanny on the cover (and I'm not mad about it)

I have a book hangover, ie I just finished a book that was so good I'm apprehensive about what to start next.

Just watched the last two episodes of series 3 of Big Boys and as predicted the last ep got me feeling big feelings. Cried within the first 5 minutes, and the ending was genuinely perfect. It's the best written thing on TV right now.

We bought my niece an instant printing camera for her 5th birthday. Her mum just told her she couldn't have something so 5 minutes later, she silently walked over and handed her mum a printed selfie of her looking sad. I can't.

I know it's not that big for a lot of people but I just completed the Guardian's quick cryptic crossword and every time I solve a clue it feels like witchcraft.

If anyone with Sky Cinema won’t be using their December free VUE tickets please consider sending them our way, so we can distribute to queer people in the asylum system in Leeds ❤️

In the office trying to "bring the fun" to some unbelievably boring training slides. Music recommendations for energy, plz.

Went for a night time swim and the water in the showers wouldn't heat up

Quote with you looking fancy.

Come into the office, they said. It'll be really valuable, they said. *Cut to me trying to work while someone 20 years my senior struggles to make a Google Meet call come through her headset and not out of her laptop speaker for 5 full minutes*

Non-working day again for me today - I've been to see my friend for a haircut, swam 1.5km, walked the dog, made soup and I'm off for dinner and to a book event tonight.

We are now at 50,000 and we understand GB News is now going to publicly defend its hate speech.

I may have overdone it today 🫠

I've come into Leeds city centre and there's a Leeds United/Millwall match later at Elland Road

All the ellipticals were busy when I got to the gym today so I ran on a treadmill for the first time in the better part of a decade today PLEASE CLAP

Think I already have more gigs/drag shows/theatre trips booked in the first half of 2025 than I went to in the whole of 2024. Newly added to the roster - Patrick Wolf in Leeds in May!

It's definitely Roy Cohn isn't it, let's be real. Helped the McCarthy anti-communist witch hunts, mentored Trump. His panel on the AIDS Memorial Quilt says "Roy Cohn. Bully. Coward. Victim."

10 minutes ago a colleague messaged to ask if they could quickly call me 5 minutes later to discuss something and they've clearly run over with their previous meeting but the wait paralysis is real because I can't focus on anything else until they actually call.

Do I love my dog? Yes. Have I called him a string of expletives so harsh I'd hesitate to use them towards another human for fear of physical violence during our very short journey to this park? Also yes.

I've done very unsustainable, calorie restricting diets in the past to lose weight. I'm currently discovering a previously unknown enjoyment of exercise and have been building better eating habits and it's starting to show results.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you at mentally?

We're off to Austria for a week in early April - if anyone has restaurant/gallery/museum/daytrip recommendations around Vienna, Graz or Salzburg then hit me upppp

Just got back from a house party where I had a few glasses of wine, chatted with people and got home early and (most importantly) did not get silly levels of drunk.

Feel like pure shit just want them back x
