I think I accidentally made my avatar in this silly little makeover game look like @soozuk.bsky.social ..

It's 2026. Can we stop with calling all Japanese girls or women wearing kimono 'geisha'. It's just making you look ignorant.

There was a time in the 80s and 90s in Australia a Spunk was a handsome man. Cue meeting the founder of Radio Lollipop when he did a brunch with the local vollies here in Perth and him doing a spit-take when I described a dude as ‘a spunk rat’.

That reminds me when my holy roller cousins gave my sister & I their old Ninetdo when the upgraded. One of the games we received with it was ‘Bible Adventures’, which includes a level where you’re supposed to protect Baby Moses. My sister & I took great delight in throwing that baby to the crocs…

He sounds like he was the Best Egg (not just a good one).

That is… the perfect way to describe it!

It’s like having a cat on my lap turns off my ability to gauge time EVEN MORE than it does sans-kitteh.

I wish my brain would stop doing the thing where one (or more) or my cats come & sit on me for snuggles while I’m having what’s supposed to be a quick ‘scroll & chill’ and then suddenly it’s 3 hours later.

The best quote I have seen today is:

‘The wrong cast member of Home Alone 2 died today.’

@bethanyblack.bsky.social saw these around Aotearoa New Zealand, thought Mrs Beth would like to see them (more than one post…)

I heard the other day that they’re about to come out with a pill version of wegovy. I’d take a pill a day over sticking myself once a week any day.

Annnnnd I just got sent to Whamhella by an Insta post…

Yes! We were kinda hoping whomever they were meeting would come out as dinos too, but alas. HOWEVER one of the people they were meeting went “AGAIN?!?” So it sounds like this is not the first time…

There is a dinosaur waiting for someone at the arrivals gate.

They are giving hi-5s to so many kids. 💜

Hey Aussies, remember when Australia Post wasn’t shit?

This seems to be the most comprehensive list of the organisations George Michael supported: gmforever.com/george-micha...

Whamageddon season has started. I am again proposing this addition to the game. If you do hear Wham’s original recording of Last Christmas before Christmas Day, and get sent to Whamhella, be like George and donate to either one of the charities he supported, or a similar charity in your area.

You can smell the straw in the air and the christmas spirit makes its entrance. Movember out, bockember in! ✨🐐” #gavlebocken #gavle

@virginiam.bsky.social I have to ask: what is the ‘UFO phone sound’?

You better believe that I’m going to be loud if you think using ‘Jap’ to talk about people from Japan isn’t casual racism. If you’re going to keep arguing it isn’t after you’ve been shown why, you’re either terribly ignorant, or comfortable with your racism.

Huh! Thanks! I never thought I’d find something that makes haggis sound appealing, but here we are…

Ok Scottish or Scottish adjacent people I know ( @squilkie.bsky.social , @bethanyblack.bsky.social , @soozuk.bsky.social for instance): what the hell are Neeps?

So I didn’t get a huge tax return this year… it wasn’t tiny either. But it was just the right amount for 16 @tkingfisher.com (Ursula Vernon) novels! Since they’re not all arriving at the same time, the next month is Ursulamas!

Sounds like my maternal Grandma in the last few years of her life. *hugs tight*

Tell me you know nothing about sumo wrestling fans, without saying you know nothing about sumo wrestling fans, by addressing the chat as ‘gentlemen’.
