Weird day today. Trump is president of the US again - the next four years are going to be unbearable. No TA again - looks like she's got flu/covid. Class were hard work today - chatty, not listening etc. Got me down a bit. #DailyLife #Life #TeacherLife

Went to church this morning then came home and worked all day. Only took breaks to eat, swap the loads of laundry over and watch Call the Midwife. Paid off though - all lessons planned for the week and most of the evidence for our accreditation is collated. #DailyLife #Life

More snow fell overnight which made for a slow commute to work. Class are behind where they should be cos I've been off. Kids were excited to have me back though, so that's a bonus. Tired. Been in bed since about 9 watching Call the Midwife & setting up my new iPad. #DailyLife #Life #TeacherLife

(4th Jan. Slightly late.. again. Oops!) Helped Dad take down his outside Christmas decorations this morning. Went food shopping this afternoon. Very cold day today. Snow started about 10pm. Hoping it sticks but that the roads are clear by Monday morning. #DailyLife #Life

Last year, I came across a diary from 1964 in which my great auntie Alice chronicled her day in short entries, usually just 3 or 4 sentences. Been toying with replicating the idea on social media & the new year seemed like the ideal time so I present... @ruthsdailytweet.bsky.social

When you're accosted by a woman in the supermarket who asks what colour hair dye you use as she wants it, and then she looks really disappointed when you tell her it's just your natural colour... #WhatIsMyLife? 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😂

"Moana 2 is just a cash grab!" Yes that's how businesses works, you make something you know people would pay money for. Also, you know nothing of cashgrabs, I was there for Aladdin 2 The Return Of Jaffar.

People who invite that creepy Elf on the Shelf into their home clearly haven’t watched enough horror movies.

To everyone who is publishing fanfiction. Congratulations, you are an author. Please take this title and wear it with pride and enjoy it because you did the thing. Call yourself by the correct title, don’t let others gatekeep something from you that you have already fully done <3

grateful for every author who writes fic. it’s my favorite corner of fandom and reading about your faves falling in love over and over is just so 🥰 the real canon is all those stories on ao3

Used to beg my parents for lights outside the house at #Christmas when I was a kid. Never got them. Now I'm an adult, Dad's going all out with the festiveness!! Where is the justice??

Assuming all fanfiction is written poorly really just shows you've never been caught in the chokehold of a 150k slowburn that changed the course of your life at 2:40am written by someone whose username has 4 Zs in it and they only wrote one fic and then vanished like an ethereal legend.

Fanfiction doesn't require constructive criticism unless expressly asked for by the author, and if you're rating a fic out of 10 in the bookmark - DON'T. Fanfiction is written and posted for free, you're not a literary reviewer and AO3 isn't fucking goodreads. This is evergreen advice. Pass it on.

Just written four lines of dialogue after inspiration struck in the shower. It's been a long time but I'll take inspiration anywhere I can get it at the moment.

Fanfiction etiquette is incredibly simple, actually. Don't like it, don't read it. No one is forcing you to, which is why it looks ridiculous to complain about it, especially if you were content warned. AO3 tags + "exclude" is one of the greatest reading tools ever. Use them properly and voila!

I'm very excited to share with you all the cover reveal for the upcoming The X-files Little Golden book that I had the honor to illustrate! It's hard to describe how thrilled I am to have been part of this project. Can't wait to share it with the world! #LittleGoldenBook #Thexfiles #kidlit

Just driven through the illuminations at Blackpool - no Hickory Dickory Dock installation this year. Apparently it's being "rested". The disappointment is real - that installation was my favourite as a kid. A staple of my childhood is missing!

These are great. Our town council has ones called Grit Astley (Never Gonna Slip You Up), and Sleetwood Mac.

hardest part of fandom is when you come across a fan work that you literally feel was peeled out of your soul and all you want to do is talk to the creator about HOW THEY DID THAT without coming on too strong 🙂‍↕️
