The exact point you realise the dystopian nightmare has become reality...
"Good morning this is @laurenlaverne.bsky.social on BBC Radio4 and today's castaway on desert islands discs is the politician Kemi Badenoch"
Sod's law = when you have painted your shoe store and putting your shoes back, you will a)spill your coffee and b)it will go on the yellow suede ones 🤦🏽♀️

We're still not over billionaire weddings or berry sandos, I see.

Thank goodness, I can finally get a good night's sleep now I know...

Except it wasn't a Gif
Card shops are therapy!
I'd forgotten, as hardly buy them anymore, but after a little sniffle in a café I went in to get one for my son's friend and actually LOL-ed. Two women next to me were absolutely losing it and had to leave.

I know adulting is hard, but I can literally decide (and have) to have three kinds of ice cream for dinner!

A small bowl of ice cream in my hand in front of a cupboard door.
I don't know who needs to hear this but: 45 mins before you need to leave for a friend's birthday celebrations is not the time to decide to cut your own hair.
[It's me, I needed to hear this. P.s it's never the right time]

Skate club on a Tuesday means daftly early dinner and it's dhaal for the win! Love the pretty colours 😍

Wow! 😳
Ahhh, that's the limit is it? That's why as it is 40%.
Yes, petition needed for that button!
Yellow Suede checkered textured slip on Vans on black mess bag.
This is why I previously deleted Vinted in a rage. But decided to give it another go...Brand new suede Vans on for £13, two offers of £8 within hours.
That's annoying, right?!

*Lost*
Super long-shot, but I lost this beloved zippy cardi-jacket thingy (a gift from my MIL) on my way back from Edinburgh Friday, probably around Peterborough - likely at the station - if anyone finds it and can help reunite us. 🙏🏽 🥹😢
A poster of the actor Alaqua Cox as the Marvel character Echo
Had to watch Echo ahead of the return of Daredevil - my fave as a kid - and while it's, of course, silly, can't emphasise enough how significant it feels having a Native American actor who is Deaf and has a prosthetic play the lead and to have so much of the dialogue signed.
An awkward train selfie with what looks like a giant travel coffee cup. I'm wearing a lairy purple, pink, green, yellow and black cardigan.
I'm off! On my way to the mighty @commscampscot.bsky.social
When the organising team finally get to meet up IRL, we catch up with old pals and make new ones!
Just realised I've committed a sartorial sin with a fake tartan cardi 🤦🏽♀️
My awesome pigeon socks on my foot testing on a chair
Why yes, they are very cool socks, thank you! 🐦
What ya baking for @commscampscot.bsky.social?!
Yes, the event is all about strengthening your peer support network and co-creating solutions and sharing ideas, but CAKE is also an important part!

to remain as calm as he did. It also feels unfair to compare the way Macron and Starmer engaged with Trump, without acknowledging that they both received very different treatment from him, and neither are trying to lead countries which have navigated 3 years of invasion.
This feels like a balanced argument, which treats both parties equally, but that, in itself, feels wildly imbalanced, considering who and what is being talked about. The footage I have seen was a difficult watch, as two men behaved like petulant bully toddlers, towards another who did valiantly...
a pink background with a cute cartoon robot crying
Finally watched Pixar's The Wild Robot and crying eight times in a film is extreme, even for me.
Topping up my Parisian slang levels with this ridiculousness.
Watching <<V.O>> with V.O subtitles for the win! Bagging a whole new load of helpful vocab... if I want to join the criminal underworld in the city of lights, that is! 🤣

When a comms person forgets you can't post GIFs on here! 🤦🏽♀️
Image: a wide eyed shocked Bruno from Encanto
Once more now: "We don't talk about BrewD*g, no no..."
Why does a new 'story' about 'punky beer man pop up on my news feed every time I open it?!
GIF: a clip from the animated film Encanto where the characters are singing about Bruno.
How great is World of Books?!
Like, how does it work/make money?!
People say: 'you've got to read x,y,z' - two days later 5 books have landed on your doormat for £28!
Image: a green coffee table with a little stack of 5 books on it, a candle and a little Totoro figure holding a magnifying glass.
Thank you both! I'm asking for the impossible... Like a retrospective scrapbook-style, achievement capturer to record the 'dones' rather than plot the 'to dos'
Sounds like someone needs to kick some development butt, Stuart to get your reasonable request [not pie in the sky nonsense I've dreamt up]
GIF: two women high-fiving each other with the title: smashed it.
I'm done with trying to find the right 'to do list' app for me,
I want a done/smashed it app - somewhere I can reflect on the day/week and go:
'yeah, i did this and that and learnt x and going to do y next!'
Does this exist?

I don't care what the date is, I'm not ready to take away the sparkles, yet, and no-one can make me! 🎄
[Also, you think goblin possession is a threat?!]
A screenshot of a post by Elon Musk where he's sarcastically saying it's 'to bad' instead of 'too bad' as the Dem leader of the senate's tenure is soon to end. My reply is *too.
Not posted on blue bird, black x for ages, but couldn't resist being the 666th reply on this.
Yeah, petty ain't pretty, but...
*time-saving 🤦🏽♀️
