The post and the blocked quote post.

It was! Now sadly too gloopy to be of use.

Was literally about to ask. Then realised George was already out there doing the lord's work. Thank you George.
Also I haven't worn purple lipstick in ages and am now feeling inspired!

Good night Herman! xxx

I actually kinda really want this...

WOW! Is there nothing that man can't do? 😅

Meanwhile I'm sitting beside @gquail.bsky.social doing my knitting, while he occasionally looks at his phone and cackles.

A robot in the form of a round hut with a thatched, conical roof with a little tin chimney poking out. The robot is walking along on two long, jointed legs with round feet that have a cleft in the middle. It has eyes over the open door that appear to be angry. Standing in the door is a Covenbot, a round robot with banded arms wearing a witch's hat, holding a broom, with a wart on one side of its face, smiling menacingly. The background is drawn in soft shading, and depicts a deep, dark forest, shrouded in mist.

1975) Walkinghutbot. The ideal mobile dwelling for a little Covenbot who needs to creep through forests in Eastern Europe.

If you see this quote with a vampire that isn't dracula

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

if you’ve ever watched the apprentice, that’s the world without arts or humanities degrees

I vote chaos

Three round robots with banded arms and legs, wearing witch hats and standing around a robot cauldron with legs. One is looking into the glowing, bubbling contents with a malevolent smile, one (with a wart) is raising its hands, speaking some sort of spell, and one is holding a broomstick. In the shadows at their feet, a Cattobot stalks an oblivious Frogbot.

944) Covenbots. Double, double toil and troublebots. Witchbots three who meet to places hexes, sow curses and generally get up to witchy mischief. Cauldronbot is a repurposed prototype Brewbot. Frogbot not included (but they can turn another robot into one anyway). #SmallRobotsRemonstered #Halloween

I only caught snippets of Oliver y Benji when I was young (and it was in Spanish) but this was the first anime I watched all the way through

[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking] 1 SOCRATES: Plato.. PLATO: Yes Socrates? 2 SOCRATES: Can you tell me, are you human? PLATO: Why… yes, Socrates 3 SOCRATES: And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is? PLATO: Um, yep 4 SOCRATES: So you can tell me, then 5 [Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel] SOCRATES: *Is that a chariot*? 6 PLATO: Well that’s more just a bit of wheel 7 SOCRATES: So not a *chariot*. PLATO: No. 8 SOCRATES: [Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes] So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*? 9 PLATO: Well you can’t tap any of them really 10 SOCRATES: So are we not human? PLATO: ‘Spose not. 11 [Bleak pause] 12 PLATO: I’ll get the hemlock SOCRATES: Yeah [ends]

Yes! Both great choices!

What's your karaoke song?

If you see this, quote repost with a GIF of the first anime you remember watching as a kid

So how are all my former gifted and talented kids who used to read several books a day and now rot their faculties doomscrolling while ignoring a TV show doing tonight

Me trying to enjoy my social media bubble

I was born ready

On the left is a woman with black curly hair wearing glasses and red lipstick. On the right is a man wearing glasses and leaning his head against the woman's shoulder. Both are looking at the camera and smiling.

As of today I've been going out with @gquail.bsky.social for exactly half of my life xxx

I've read Queer As Folklore and found it hugely entertaining and informative. Would highly recommend!

*hugs* so sorry - this sounds really rough x

We'd be a more successful species if women consumed the man's body after sex.

Solo holidays are great and I'm honestly having a blast. Fun fact: I'm the same age as Shirley Valentine. 🏖

Thanks all. Nerves settled once I'd actually arrived.

At the airport, about to go on a wee solo trip to Gran Canaria while @gquail.bsky.social is at Warhammer World. Oscillating between excited and anxious. Never done anything like this before or spent this much time apart in 21 years. Sure I'll be fine but having a smol crisis of faith! ✈️

🧀Some (very Friday in August) polling. Does your favourite cheese affect how you vote? Reform have huge leads with fans of Stilton & Cheddar, but also people who don't eat cheese at all. Labour dominates among Feta fans. Tories best result is Brie & Greens with Camembert.
