When your #bluesky is covered in wall to wall news and the horrors of #Trump so you have to create a new #feed for all your 'Not News' that makes you happy ☺️🙃

Getting ready to go and see #Taylormania Tribute #ErasTour just brings back memories of the incredible experience those two nights I saw the original #TaylorSwift was...😍

Be with someone who gives you the same feeling as a canceled meeting on a Friday afternoon.

Starting the day with an anniversary cake made by my amazing girlfriend, an actually productive work meeting for once, and being invited to record a podcast about the work I have been doing on Student Engagement...

Sometimes things are good 😊

⭐️ the feminine urge to replay every video game i’ve ever played instead of starting any unplayed games in my backlog ⭐️

With concerns over the cost of living, public services, and economic growth, it's clear to that a UK-EU Customs Union is the quickest way to turbo-charge and Trump-proof our economy.

Any increase in #Edinburgh resident's #counciltax is unjustified & wrong.

Current service by @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social is a joke & shows a complete lack of understanding.

Use the millions of tourists to bring in money, not hardworking citizens that already pay too much to receive very little.

The depressing feeling when you organise a workshop, create the presentation and materials, plan the activities, promote it to people that it's perfect for and then no-one turns up 😞

Honestly, it's not worth putting in the effort sometimes

#sad #workshop #noshow #planning #events

Apparently @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social is proposing an 8% increase in Council Tax - this is cruel to everyone but the richest and unjustified.

Why not increase the incoming tourist tax rather than make citizens pay even more for a lacklustre service?

Whilst the #fantastic4 trailer looks genuinely, erm, fantastic, and it seems they've nailed the aesthetic of both world and first family, I'm still worried because if they mess up #DrDoom then what's the point?

Please get the best villain right #Marvel even if you've already ruined it by casting...

It’s okay. You’re allowed to post about both Taylor Swift and the US government coup. We’re complex creatures with multifaceted interests.

Learning another language is also an exercise in learning that no language actually makes any sense...

Also, language having assigned genders makes as little sense as people having assigned genders🙃

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

Jimmy Carter wins a posthumous Grammy.

Jimmy Carter won a posthumous Grammy in the category of spoken word album for “Last Sundays in Plains: A Centennial Celebration.” The win comes a little over a month after the former president’s death, and is his fourth Grammy award.

Genuinely might be the least deserved best album...

I don't get the hype around Cowboy Carter. She's had better albums that didn't win and Texas Hold 'Em was one of the worst songs from 2024.

This feels like the #Grammy's awarding her Best Album so people shut up about her having never won it.

Online meetings followed by an awards ceremony then wrapping up the day with Drag Bingo... #fridays eh?

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

The issue isn't people stealing, it's the fact that they need to survive.

There is a problem with shops raising prices beyond a level that the average consumer is comfortable with due to wages, energy prices & the economy.

The problem primarily lies with business & government, not the individual.

Greatly disappointed with dinner at Pho in #Edinburgh this evening.

A lovely atmosphere and decor with polite staff ruined by slimy noodles, chicken that tasted boiled and a complete lack of flavour in any of my food.

First time trying Vietnamese food too.

People who hate diversity know that on an even playing field they can’t compete. It’s really that simple

Happy Lunar New Year! 🎇

As we move from Year of the Dragon 🐉 to Year of the Snake 🐍, consider shedding bad energy - people, feelings or even apps 👀 - and embracing a new beginning.

Also, if #taylorswift could release #reptv that would be amazing and appropriate...

I love the eye portrait 😍 You've definitely got a commission coming your way!!

I definitely always feel like I need to keep track or it didn't happen 😅

Do you use any tracking apps like Goodreads, Letterboxd or Musicboard?

I've finally jumped ship from the other app and made it here 🎉

Already feels familiar and I'm loving features like Starter Packs.

I now need to know who to follow for a diverse feed of news, politics, history, space, gaming and nerdy stuff.

Help a guy out? 😄
