I think Portland has its new anthem. If that’s uh… a thing for cities?

That’s all any of us can do! As a former insomniac, I sympathise. that lack of sleep is awful, especially when it goes on for ages. I like your posts and your honesty. You’re doing a good job *soft hug*

What about a mashup of the two?

Panicked salesperson: β€œWe’ve got some great corsets and shape-wear, Sir! Tracy, can you go get us the Spanx, love?”

New British slang just dropped! Instead of slagging someone off by saying you’ll replace them with AI, tell them you’ll replace them with a badger! It’ll confuse them AND simultaneously explode any nearby Reform/Tory voters. Better living, everyone!

Neither do his pants! The rest of us have figured out that if you size up (or down), you can get clothes that fit your actual body and look good on you, and then rip the tag out later cos the sizing is bollocks anyway. These fullas seem determined to look awkwardly shrink-wrapped.

Why do I feel like @dieworkwear.bsky.social would have a field day with these guys and their lack of swag?

It’s also surreal becuase I knew, at some level, that life was gone and my current one is unrecognisable. But being able to do a β€œnormal person” thing? That makes it so clear in a visceral way that I have been the living dead for the better part of a year.

I know I’m having a baseline increase because my β€œgood” days or experiences are followed by deep, strong, long thwacks of grief, reminding me of the life I’ve lost and just how debilitated I’ve been over the last 8 months. So I guess that means my body can start processing this trauma now? ….yay?

Oooooooh this show is a theatre kid’s dream. It is CAMP AF. You’ll love it :)

This is incredible! Love your work sir, it is searing. The US administration would get third degree burns just reading this.

Didn’t it just! Night Watch is one of my fave books :)

That is an ENORMOUS service charge. Most places in central Manc are at most in the 2-4k range.

This person buys ALL their groceries from either The General Store (and is rude to the staff) or Deliveroo (and is rude to the delivery peeps). But mostly they eat coke.

Oooooh these people listen to music like James and Morrissey and consider themselves to be β€œjust asking questions”, don’t they?

This is exactly what I was thinking! I was like β€œsurely this is an office with a… oh bath”.

They did! I had a second of panic where I thought I might be colour blind, then remembered that’s the difference between R/G not two shades of R or G and got a hold of myself 🀣 I always want to ace tests but my eyes are… well I wear a strong prescription.

I’d really hope Bedroom 4 would go upstairs but I’m definitely getting Culty Commune Vibes off the design. Bedroom 2 having 2 doors is bizarre. Maybe it’s meant to be like a granny flat inside the house?

Oh my lord the bathroom that is also a bedroom with glass walls into the balcony 😬😬

Oooh this is intriguing! I was something like .0068 and noticed I struggled with bright greens and pinks but found blues and browns easiest.

That we ALL need perambulating homicidal suitcases as our travelling buddies. Think of how many creepy guys in hostels would think twice with the Luggage around.

LOVE his books (I fell asleep listening to one last night) and was lucky enough to hear him speak in Auckland a few years before he died. He was an incredibly clever and insightful man, and totally nerdy (he learned how to smith a sword, for the lols). Discworld has been comforting for 1/2 my life.

Terry Pratchett makes a joke out of this is Discworld books so a lot of farmers must have done it! I guess if you’re sick doing that will certsinly… provoke a strong reaction
