A theatre stage with Jen Brister's logo on it

I've got an essay due in by end of weds, so obviously I'm out again 😬

I'm about 60% done, I'll have to skip knitting group again this week but that should give me enough time Weds after Welsh class...

Really looking forward to this one being done, philosophy of modern art is really not my comfort zone

I've got an essay due in Thurs, which means I need to get in before going to bed Weds night

Some dickhead (me) bought a ticket for tomorrow/Tues, and I've got my (can't change again) physio appointment in the afternoon

So, yes, I AM up at 1.30am doing the references so at least they're prepped

that would be my guess, I assume it's a combo of self-tagged and (eew) AI, but having turned the setting to 'allow all' I'm delighted that it made no impact :D

(I do only look at bluesky at home, so there's no danger if something 'rude' comes up really)

I've not seen this, but I assume you also have adult content switched off??

(I'm tempted to switch mine to 'allow' for a bit to see how bad it can be... 😂)

Stonewalll is done.

Date afternoon with myself, didn't think I should force O into a 3 hour Wagner opera 😂

One more of daughter's friends has joined the campaign, so now I have four players, which means the balance of power has inevitably tipped away from me. Four teenage girls, ripped on sugar, shouting 'BRO' at each other, trying to turn every monster I throw at them into a pet.

Two election leaflets today.
One printed in Cwmbran.
One printed in Portsmouth.

This is important. Either parties get it or they don’t.

FFS. Nothing takes me out of a film faster than failure to even do the most basic research. The Statue of Liberty is on an ISLAND. It is not buried in a jaunty angle in the sand.

that was the sound of every bisexual furiously smashing "like" on this post

we don't even have a robert dyas here :-/

My most infuriating ones are Wall screws and fucking parcel tape!

Also sewing thread in more than 'I dabble' quantities (we have a haberdashery dept in JL, 2 market stalls and a knitting shop, none of which stock basic white cotton thread for machine sewing)

1: I attempt to do this, I think it's a sensible idea

2: I live in a capital city, in the centre. Looking at my most recent orders, they're all simple but impossible to get without a car

(circling back to 1) please do try though, even if you feel (like I do) that it's a thankless futile task :-/

Tiny versions of things are automatically cute 🥰

When a person loses 1 sense the others are heightened. That's why people who have no sense of humor have an amazing sense of self-importance.

Scotland, Northern Ireland and even London and Manchester have control over policing – but not Wales 🧐

Decisions about the safety of our communities shouldn’t be made in Westminster.

Plaid Cymru is the only party fighting for these powers to be brought into Welsh hands.

Apparently it's national pet day, Davina is pretty sure that that's every day though

This is us in a lecture yesterday morning, she'd only shut up if I kissed her forehead constantly

I refuse to learn anything more complex, and so I'd end up doing some of that in GIMP and some (magic wand stuff) in google photos (I do use my ipad for some stuff but that's the more arty end of things)

it def helps for me that it was what I used on ubuntnu, and all I ever really want to do is copy/paste/resize (for postage labels)

What are the things you're wanting it for?

I use GIMP on my mac, I probably only use 1% of the features but I know where they are and how to do them so it's an easy solution for me

For more complex stuff I use my ipad or google photos on my phone

Audiobooks don’t need a full cast or musical interludes or sound effects. Just get one person to read me a book, thanks.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Any other late 40s/early 50s peeps been tight with anxiety over this space mission shit?

Or was I more traumatised than I thought... ???

Fuck this. As an industry, we are in an existential crisis of book banning because of homophobia and transphobia weaponized by racist authoritarians. “Dirty books” are not the problem. Censorship is.

Make whatever books you like, but don’t you dare call other books dirty in your shitty marketing.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant
