As soon as space travel is possible, I'm moving from the Milky Way to the Soy Milky Way galaxy. I'm galactose intolerant.

I only stopped because my feet were no longer stomping.

It's a common misunderstanding. They don't eat ants. They were categorised by Big Biology immediately before taters (known at the time as aters), so they ended up with the lazy name ante-aters. Which people misread, because you know, people.

I'd settle for a man after midnight.

You must admire the conger eel
You'll never get a longer feel
Of fishy skin against your own
Than when one makes its presence known
By gliding past you, tail to head
But do beware that mouth of dread
Lest it should mount a swift attack
And make a chunk of you its snack

@susiedentwords.bsky.social is there a process for having useful new words added to the dictionary?

It does, but I'm optimistic it will at least put me on a good exit path (ie a solid severance package). It's probably the best I can hope for in the circumstances.

I suddenly have an influx of new stalkers. Welcome!

I'm not sure why you'd want to, but hey, stick around. I might raise a tiny smile if I work hard enough at it.

Nope. I'm on medical leave with burnout, stress, and depression caused by my homophobic manager sabotaging my career.

Or trifecta if you'd rather. But I was picturing it mentally as three panels in a cartoon of awesome.

My annual wrap from Monzo really didn't need to make such a big deal about all the money that went to dealers...

Maybe he was reassuring you that he hadn't also bought a boat.

I won't show you mine, but will show vast deference to yours.

Thing is, they are exactly the kind of people to poo poo all warnings and go about without passports.

My sister in law isn't Hispanic, but her Romany heritage gives her some Hispanic looking characteristics. As awful as it is to acknowledge, this increases her risk.

Mind you, it is apartments rather than a hotel.

They use for foot-long subs.

My brother is planning a visit and we're all trying to convince him just how terrible an idea this is.

It's also useful for working out lengths and angles in a triangle.

Apartamentos Don Pedro is pleasant, quiet, mixed, I think it's adults only, and it's a short walk to the beach. (A long walk to the nude beach though.) It's a ten or 15 minute walk to the Yumbo, so it strikes a decent balance, I think. I'm going there again in a few weeks.

C-4 is the serious putty but if you wanna get a little silly with it I suppose it wont hurt.

Iโ€™m enjoying the language school.

Everyone is friendly though the Xhosa students can be a bit cliquey.

I'm aware my personality isn't for everyone. It's a bit like marmite - fucking horrible!

Can you go into more detail, please? I'm struggling to get my head around this.
