I got the sweetest email from a colleague when she heard my dad was in palliative care, offering an ear if I wanted to talk, or “I can just talk at you about my alpacas if you need a distraction”

That’s nerd love

Let me take your mind off the sad shit by infodumping about my special interest

Temu refunded my purchase because they thought my account was suspicious. TEMU thought there was something suss and dodgy about ME!!

I know Amazon is evil and I should feel bad for buying shit from them but fuck they’re a cheap and convenient source of much needed whimsy in a bleak fucking world

Hilarious moment that nearly broke the scene tonight: set off the fall detector on my Apple Watch with a spank and it tried to call an ambulance 🙃

Screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation Them: I love how you don’t pretend to be anything but yourself 🩷 Me: I don’t know how but thank you!

It’s nice to be appreciated 🥰

The bereavement admin, the cold logistics of patching around the hole where a human used to be… there’s just so much more of it than you expect and it just doesn’t get easier

Fingers crossed!

Computer madness is written into your DNA at this stage. Eventually yoy just learn to live with it like background noise

This is such an ADHD coded manoeuvre

In case of you ever wondered, when you explain Wear It Purple Day to someone who has lived in Singapore their whole life, they look at you like you’ve grown a second head

In my dream last night, one of my oldest friends taught me how to do nangs using a toaster full of water and a pen 🤔

Old Guard 2 is objectively bad, but I love Uma Thurman as a villain and she makes a great foil for Charlize Theron

Might go fuck around and hope to remain in blissful ignorance later

I don’t know anything about Fletcher except that she’s apparently a musician and she’s dating a man. I know the second thing because I’ve seen at least 30 separate attempts at Discourse over it just in the last four days (to clarify: I do not wish to know more and in fact regret knowing this much)

Spouse: Ohhhh

Ah my greatest foe, someone whose politics are
