Best use of a Bluesky thread ever here by one of my local museums

Still in pain. Had a sneezing fit earlier and really didn't enjoy

Oh, the fun of being in your 50s. I somehow just managed to put my back out and send myself into writhing agony by operating a kitchen tap.

If anyone wants me I'll be laying on the living room floor

Eww, that is so crass and disrespectful

Spoeark? Norwegian maybe

I've been staring at this for several minutes and I still can't think of anything to call them other than file paths
