I have been asked to upload a CV for a business thing. Why would I have a CV? 14 years into running my own business, I have to write a CV.

Would someone tell BBC London News that the Femme in Tour de France Femme is pronounced fam? Thank you.

I love a staircase; this one is in a small office building on Borough High Street.

TikTok's new owners have stopped pretending that it's anything other than the money. This little banner just popped up to show me that the algorithm will be blocking me unless I pay up. Not surprised, just disappointed.

He's not wrong. Thousands of debits telling me my home and work are unsafe each day. And yet, here we are, in London.

Did Artemis pierce a hole in something that was holding all the tech together? Because it's all gone to hell in a handcart this week.
(This is a joke to comment on the current enshittification. Please nobody believe me.)

Thanks!

We got in the shortlist for the Fragrance Foundation's Perfume Extraordinaire award 2026 with Vianne's Confession. @joannechocolat.bsky.social we're in there with the big boys!

I do not want people in my life who will lie to me to sell me stuff or get what they want.
Not politicians, brands, nor perfume salespeople. It's not "just marketing"; it's lying. It's not "playing a game". It's not "your truth". Can we stop accepting lies as just part of life?
Thank you.

‘A bombshell’: doubt cast on discovery of microplastics throughout human body Exclusive: Some scientists say many detections are most likely error, with one high-profile study called a ‘joke’

Here's you go!
www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Despite most of the "evidence" about microplastics recently revealed as fake, by the Guardian, you still publish this.

I'm sharing our magnolia tree so we can take a couple of breaths and appreciate some beauty, while it lasts.

One one side is fascism, on the other is democracy. It's not a culture war.

In the days when tech companies at least pretended that they wanted to improve our lives. 😄

I opened my 32 page course book for perfumery 5 day scent school, and PowerPoint told me that it was a very long document and perhaps I would like AI to summarise it for me.

Does anyone else find themselves regularly shouting at their own screens, "No! Fuck off!"?

I blocked that person as it's nothing but trouble.

Rainy day; cup of tea; ten minutes to kill. Most of you know what that means by now. #Storytime.
New folk, this is when I write a story from scratch, here on Bluesky. And it always starts ike this:
"There is a story the bees used to tell, which makes it hard to disbelieve."

Dan sundered himself from his sense many years ago.

😂 Rude.

Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

They don't seem to understand that some of us were taught to write well, and check for mistakes before publishing. I
Of course they don't, because they have no sense of understanding.

Whatever happened to you to make you this hateful of decent humans, I feel sorry for you.

Read the whole thread. It's not really a surprise, but it's astonishing that no one seems to be getting arrested.

A stunning ice dance from the Americans and all she pointed out was that the man lost his balance. #WinterOlympics

Is anyone watching the ice dance on TNT Sports? There's a commentator who has been picking fault in everything! I think she's just been told off for being such a misery as she's suddenly started being the tiniest bit kind.

Oh no you aren't.

My new favourite cafe. They're not wrong.
