Going to that there America soon, to go on a cruise. Turned the house upside down because I was sure I had some dollars from last time I went (in 2007). I found them. Ten. I have ten dollars. Guess I'll buy a banana or something.

Does anyone know where I can buy a tartan suitcase? I'm packing for a trip and my ticket has a checked bag allowance

Rant incoming: Sick and tired of entitled people who act entitled generally, but even more so when it relates to any of my volunteer roles. If someone is giving up their time for free to do something nice for their community, what gives you the RIGHT to demand they do stuff in a certain way?

Do any of you know anything about centaurs? Specifically: if the human bit is male, is the horse bit also male? Or are all the possible permutations possible?

Picked up a coffee by the station, in my travel mug. Trainee barista very proud to be able to make my Americano unsupervised, and then the supervisor stepped in to say they had to rinse out my mug with hot water first, because if they made it in a cold mug "the customer will complain that it's cold"

Totally forgot to put the bin out last night. But I had to leave the house at 0530 this morning to catch a train, and I remembered to put the bin out! Yay! Bins!

Today in "stuff I used to do on that other site that wasn't funny there and won't be funny on Bluesky either": my train is either nearly 11 months late or just over a month early, because it just arrived in March.

A work of what, Costa?

Well here's an interesting thing I only just worked out: I was well aware that PMS made me full of irrational dislike for everyone around me once a month, but I hadn't figured out that also includes me. PMS makes me hate myself!

One of my friends has a problem: I effortlessly listen to their problem and help them solve it like some sort of really together guy. I have a problem: world falls apart because it's impossible to solve and I can't possibly ask for help because then everyone will know I'm just three squirrels.

Hello all, I didn't expect to be writing this, but I'm glad that I've convinced myself, bc I couldn't have got anywhere without community, its the reason I'm still here, the reason I keep going, and I'd love for you to share and donate as much as is within your capacity rn 🙏🏽🤎🦋 gofund.me/6ae2e902

I tried some experimental knitting this evening and it went wrong but I learned from it so I guess that's not a complete waste of time maybe? In other news, therapy is going well and we're working on my self esteem and self compassion.

It's 2025 and my hip hurts and I was going to watch football tomorrow but it's been postponed so I guess I'll have to do something productive with my time instead. How's everyone else's year going?

Just had a bath, to maximise the length of time I will be able to say "I haven't had a bath all year" starting from tomorrow. (Tbh I mostly shower these days anyway but my shoulder and hip both suggested they might appreciate a long hot soak to ease whatever is up with them)

And with that, I'm back home after Christmas, with a discount selection box and a bit more trauma. (It was actually not that bad this year but there are too many ghosts of Christmases past to ever be able to enjoy the ordeal)

WHAMMED at 2pm on Christmas Eve 😭😭😭

Hope everyone's doing ok. Only another day and a bit to get through and then Christmas will be over for another year. Remember, "No" is a complete sentence, and just because you're related to someone doesn't mean you have to like them!

I'm away from home for Christmas so can't use my knitting machines, and I'm having to resort to other ways of spending my time.

Ok so I've officially got further through Whamageddon than ever before and I'm starting to believe I might actually make it all the way through this time! In other news, I've not been on Tiktok since the start of December, and might have finally broken that particular addiction!

Just got an end of year greeting email from my bank. Half expected it to jump on the"wrapped" bandwagon: "Wow, you spent most of your money on the genre HOUSING but you enjoyed a bit of FOOD AND GROCERIES too! You're in the top 1% of fans of TURNING THE HEATING OFF BECAUSE GAS IS SO EXPENSIVE"

So apparently, people who leave the doors open after eating each chocolate on their advent calendar really get very angry when they learn some of us close the doors again. I think we should put aside our differences in the face of our true enemy, the people who tear off the doors altogether.

Calling all those who have strong opinions about the rules of #Whamageddon. I know that canonically, cover versions don't count. Suppose someone has the audio equivalent of a photographic memory, and 'hears' the original in the comfort of their own brain rather than through their ears... In or out?
