This the same British public that named a boat Boaty McBoatface? Yeah, I'm not giving this any credence.

I'm watching Cooper & Fry and enjoying it, but I'm very frustrated by the possessive/abusive ex storyline. Fry is a competent woman surrounded by fellow cops - why on Earth isn't she telling them?

I suppose *he* could be a cop. Might explain how he found her. But it's annoying more than intriguing.

😂

You have a nomination - that's something!

I'm loving Alan Cumming's Instinct at the moment, but "Bad Actors" made me mentally scream as it portrayed anaphylaxis and taking adrenaline incorrectly.

I know it's more dramatic but it really annoys me. Especially having an epipen be an immediate cure. It's a stopgap - you still need a hospital.

Congrats!

On this day 70 years ago Rosa Parks demonstrated the kind of courage and integrity, in refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in Montgomery, that MAGA leaders and followers can’t fathom — which is why they fear it.

We can’t *demand* courage, but we can honour it.

May I present you this? (You may have seen it. I had not and am still giggling about it.)

I'm doing my physio exercises and I've massively reduced my chocolate intake, and I'm already feeling the difference. I just need to keep it up. 😊

This is true.

It's something that I'd love to do but, as someone who can't draw all that well, I know I'd need a collaborator and I can't fund hiring one.

Thanks for running this.

Sorry for being so shit at it. 😅

@campylobacter.bsky.social I sent ACD to Entangled this morning. One of the few place *specifically* asking for paranormal romance, so fingers and toes crossed!

LOL!

Sadly, I'm diabetic, so I have to listen.

Thank you. I'm okay really. It's the kick up the butt I need to make sure I actually do my physio and watch my blood sugar.

I have a little Sad today - my choir is performing, and I can't be there for health reasons.

This is why I'm determined to turn this around. 💪

It looks like a cat got at it.

The mash is making me cry.

We need a mug tour.

#Novmemeber 29: how my month has been:

Starship Alexandria The Sci-fi and Fantasy podcast from the best of futures! In this future, humanity has solved its problems and is now sending spaceships from Earth, not in a desperate attempt to escape the apocalypse...

Lovelies, the Starship Alexandria advent calendar starts on Monday. You'll get a short daily episode from @aptshadow.bsky.social and I, which I hope will brighten these dark days for you. You can catch up on previous episodes here starshipalexandria.com

I am not at #Dragonmeet this weekend, and I'm very sad about that.

Screenshot of a reel on David Dastmalchian's instagram that reads "be grateful that you slipped through the hands of people who had no idea how to hold you"

Went on Insta, got punched in the gut.

Remember when U2 gave away a free album and everybody hated it?

AI is like that, only a lot more obnoxious, useless, and wasteful of resources than a bunch of mediocre songs from a past-its-prime rock band.

Success!!!

Let's try this again. #GString

Definitely something I could do while suffering from chronic fatigue. 🙄

Hehe.

Every so often, I'm struck by the mad desire to be a podcaster/content creator but then I remember that I don't have any kind of set up.

Plus who wants to listen to a fat, middle-aged woman anyway?!
