I'm 36 today. My office-mates got me a blazer that matches the dress I'm wearing, and about fifty teenagers yelled at me for not telling them ahead of time that today was my birthday. I'm very lucky.

A whole bunch of otters raising many grievances

A black and white, cloudy photo of an overgrown path to a wooden gate that says "AREA CLOSED"

Black and white photo of a windswept woman, aged 35 years and 364 days, blowing out a candle on an m&s Victoria sponge. She promises she has friends with her to help her eat the cake.

Last day of 35 spent at educators day at the zoooooo

According to the weather app, these are the only available activities, and you can only plan for up to five

You come to me on this, the day of my daughter's wedding, and tell me that Daft Punk is playing at your house?

we don't need AI when content like this exists

I think I've lost my KitH toque at work and I'm very distressed but on the bright side now everyone knows what a toque is as I've screeched at everyone "HAVE YOU SEEN MY TOQUE" and they've gone "...........what"

please enjoy me cackling at science (which is real, as my colleague, the head of science, declares)

Also I can tell you EXACTLY why the spectrum didn't expand beyond this island, which is why the doc is so good!! I've learned so much

Yesterday was an occasion to clean up nice: legend/national treasure/my very first childhood crush Eric Idle at the Royal Albert Hall. I mean....just look at that!!! Aaaaaaaa

Yeah around my workplace in Hertfordshire it's popping up and that, uh, sure is a thing!! 💀

It's on prime! The Rubber-Keyed Wonder!! I now know WAY TOO MUCH about it!!! Next time I have to do a presentation on British Values I'm going to whack it on as a healthy alternative to painting roundabouts or whatever nonsense

Yes!! And I think maybe my expectations were too high for the Running Man because of how well Total Recall has aged. Hard to compete with Verhoeven's direction, though, and the script for The Running Man is just SO jank (those one-liners 💀)

Very strongly advocate for this super long, very pleasantly and hypnotisingly dull documentary about technology before my time exclusive to a country I did not live in ❤️❤️❤️ #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

Hannah Arendt should be compulsory reading for everyone right now.

In going through how to make a SWOT analysis today, I didn't mention one Threat to the creative practice is the inability to engage with (let alone create) art when you're crawling into bed early each night with your ears ringing from exhaustion. Oops

Cut my gums flossing tonight so I'm googling what to do and instead it's just the most patronising drivel, like, "guess u were flossing wrong" DID I ASK FOR YOUR JUDGMENT JUST SAY IF I SHOULD RINSE WITH SALT

If I want to eat glass that's my business

Bless the old guys at the pub like "looking for the toilets, darling?" and pointing in the right direction. The real mvps

Sketchdump nonsense/vent art with sharpies

bread time let's have a bread

Back at it this week. Tenth year! Decade of dreams etc

Stumbled across a playthrough of a 1998 Nancy Drew game on YouTube, seemed like chill background noise, and I immediately fell asleep. Like, less than five minutes in. Chloroformed by Nancy

I'm so happy whenever I'm reminded Bag of Bags is a universal experience and not just me.

lately when i’m feeling hopeless i just think of the Katamari cat wearing scuba gear. if she can survive in an inhospitable environment then so can i

so much is bad right now but the AI stuff in particular is making me insane. a desperate attempt to smother all human creative labor at an absurd cost to the planet by some of the most short-sighted, rapacious, and pathetic people who have ever lived

Libra: You’ll risk it all this week by actually leaving the house.
