Long (and exhausting) article on the BBC today about weight loss jabs and their cost to the NHS… no mention of the fact that the NHS doesn’t currently provide any services for binge eating disorder. And has been refusing me any services for over a decade. Maybe these things are linked??

Someone needs to make a pick ‘n’ mix for taper candles. The wedding industry needs this. It’s absolutely a money making scheme.

I’ve STARTED (emphasis on started!) a spoken word poet starter pack (primarily based on U.K. & Ireland poets because I started with the people I know!). If you want to be added and you do spoken word just lemme know. When it inevitably outgrows the 150 limit I’ll make another. go.bsky.app/CNVXdRD

Increasingly tempted every day that passes to apply for funding and start producing sick as hell poetry anthologies. If anyone knows a publisher who is seeking someone to run an anthology project please let them know I am dying to pitch. 🤭

Me: there is no problem I know of in this world that cannot be solved by Lord of the Rings. Also me, because this is an imaginary conversation with myself: babe you have so many unresolvable mental health issues.

Is the bluesky version of “tweeting” “skywriting”?

For those of you finding me and seeing my posts about my dogs advent calendar from last year I’m pleased to update you. Today’s “picture” was a snowflake with the bottom left prong gently beginning to melt. #DogAdvent

🎶 I get knocked down AND I get up again. I contain multitudes.

Let’s just call it what it is: D&D-5-TR edition.

Hellooo poetry sky 🌌

Reasons I love my partner #386294. Each year we get our dog an advent calendar, and this year we couldn’t afford to order from the shop that does them, but we have an advent calendar house with little drawers, so I suggested we fill it with dog treats and use that from now on. Which we did.

Things I love about my partner #3624. Yesterday I was in bed with a cold, spooned out, and Kasha went downstairs and I decided not to ask them to get me a drink because they’d just used a bunch of spoons to make us dinner without any help so I could rest. When they came back…

Things I love about my partner #937439 today we playtested a game in progress and they gleefully announced that I am great at breaking games and finding mischievous ways to exploit the rules. It’s so nice to be with someone who enjoys that part of my having fun. Rather than being mad.

CW: sexual assault. This seems like the most secure place to let this out into the universe in the hopes I can let it out of my mind, so here it is. If you have ever sexually assaulted me, I don’t want or need you to congratulate me on passing my driving test. That’s fucking weird.

Things I love about my partner #39374792. Last night they ran a D&D game for me and some of my poetry pals who have never played before. And then they loved it so we’re going to try and make it a campaign. They spent days preparing, building a room for combat, making dice sets for each person etc
