This & the fact we're systemically thwarted from making good decisions. There's enough garments on the planet for 3 generations and the process is environmentally ruinous. We should, broadly speaking, stop making new clothes. But we've created a system where doing so somehow fucks everyone's pension
do you want to see the whole crew rushing from one high-stakes phaser fight to another? no. nobody wants to see that. we want to see bashir and o'brien playing darts
Turns out people really aren't lying about the dead dog algorithm on here

for your consideration: paws
This was a very interesting listen, especially in the wake of the Salt Path scandal. Reality defies our desire for narrative satisfaction.
I has a similar friend living in a crevice in the wall next to my desk. She was surrounded by webs and her captured victims, it was like the courtyard of a bloody tyrant. She was great.
Having many cobwebs in your home should be a testament to how kind you are to spiders, not a judgement on your cleaning skills
My house was taken over by 70,000 bees
Roses are red
Violets are free
Everyone has to abide by their own conscience (I myself helped to allow a UKIP council by refusing to vote Tory) but I really wish more of the US left just held their nose & went for Kamala. Oh well. I'm sure there's some breadtuber more deserving of their ire as we all stare into the abyss
Hit 14,000 words in my first draft. As it turns out "just write" is the trite and annoying advice that actually works.
Ahhhhh it's so good! Love his scary little teeths
Pretty ballsy move just having their arms taper into nothing rather than attempt the hands
I wonder if Big MRI are behind all those Daily Mail headlines - e.g. "Woman Dead: Discover What Tiny Vague Symptom Was Her Only Clue to Deadly Cancer" - which are routed to my browser homescreen on the daily
In this I mean the text itself. Regarding Joanne criticise away
Many interesting conversations have been had but I can't take more Harry Potter analysis. At what point does obsessive criticism just drive interest in something that needs to be put to bed. It's almost become a morally correct way to continue having a connection to HP while disavowing the author

This lynx really should be bigger news
It would be a tough call between belting out Ludacris' Get Back or absolutely bossing the Axl Rose wail at the end of Sweet Child O' Mine
These kids are spending HUNDREDS of pounds and THOUSANDS of hours on petroleum lotions and little bottles with eye droppers to dream of an alternative universe where a coven of generous science witches have a cutting edge apothecary full of secret ingredients that will hold back the ravages of time.
I don't usually worry about the Young People and their habits, but consuming skincare media is making me concerned. What are they are going to do when reality collides with the belief that there are magic potions which will stop your skin from aging, if one just slavishly buys and applies them?
Teenage crush (capitalist overlord problematic fave!)
One of my bugbears in the working world is the "busier than thou" hierarchy, especially the Too Busy To Write Proper Emails flex. So much professional interaction is predicated on the idea that some people's time is there to be wasted while others are too important to even type 'hello'.
The absolute ideal dinner party crew 😄
A few of my International Women's Day faves. Very excited about @joannechocolat.bsky.social's new book and @contrapoints.bsky.social new video (yes I know Jadzia isn't real it doesn't matter)
A Shelfie featuring lots of books and a goat skull
New shelf set up
I bought some black treacle to make ginger cake and now I desperately need to know a) how sticky treacle factories are b) whether they have any tactics for controlling the stickiness
Ah so thats where the sentiment "I don't like X author because a character did X" comes from.
I had a dream recently that HBomb drooped his new video and it was 6 hours long so if anything there's room for a bit more padding.
