I am excited to have an EU passport, and am thinking more and more about retiring to a beach town in Sicily. ๐

That might be why I like them? ๐
Also itโs mostly photos of Noodle.
Does anyone keep Facebook primarily for it to show you โmemoriesโ so you can see what you were up to a few (or in my case up to 15) years ago? Is that a weird thing to do?
30.03.2025 20:52 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Me, Amelia, a slim white human with a brown mullet stands in a kitchen wearing colourful Pjs. Iโm holding Noodle, a big cat with green eyes. Noodle has black splotches on her nose and head that are akin to cow print spots or like she dipped her nose in ink. Her front paws are draped over my shoulder and her ears are turned sideways. This is for a few reasons 1. She doesnโt like her photo being taken (but will tolerate it) 2. The stove fan was loud and her ears were tracking the sound 3. We were cooking chicken adobo and she wanted to find it and eat it so badly. Like so badly.
Noodle asked me to pick her up tonight. Big deal given she tends to do this with the other human more. ๐ฅฐ

I have my arm laid out on a small pink table and am in the middle of getting a tattoo. My smiling face is blurry and very close to the camera - I turned last minute to photo bomb as my wxfe took action shots of my tat.
The final tattoo! ๐คฉ itโs two bright cartoon chiles cuddled up to each other. The small one is a red Calabrian chile and the bigger one is a knobbly Anaheim that gradiates from orange to green. Surrounding the whole thing is lilac dots and yellow sparkles.

04.03.2025 20:41 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Fun fact, because of internalised ableism my brain is telling me this is somehow my fault.

I have a large green pillow tube around my waist and am holding my knitting to my chest. Noodle, a cow print cat is sitting on said green pillow demanding head kisses. She was letting me know her comfort was more important than my knitting which is a fair point.
Progress shot of my jumper. The main body is a lilac boucle (fluffy) yarn and at the bottom is a neon green yarn that makes the ribbing. This sweater has holes for the neck and arms ready to be filled with yarn soon. Subscribe to my channel for more updates. This alt text is sponsored by Cat Fur! It gets everywhere.
Finally started the ribbing on my jumper. #KnitSky

Close up of my face mid flight, mouth open, eyebrows furrowed, eyes shocked and a bit confused by the sensations I am experiencing.
Went back to trapeze after a long break. Went really well!
I swear to god I spent years killing the nerves in my inner thighs so I could put up with trapeze - how dare they grow back. ๐

I am convinced it is impossible for tradies to be reliable. We had a painter say she was coming at 8:30 last Tuesday. It is now 9:40 the following Monday and sheโs still not here.

Tito is side on in front of a silver holographic curtain backdrop, playing a silver rhinestoned kazoo, holding a mic above it as if it wasn't loud enough already. There's a round sign on the backdrop that says 'Steel City Comedy club'. There are mostly silhouetted audience heads in the foreground. It's all very sparkly.

Tito bone, a slim white drag king and a teal glitter tash stands on a stage holding a rainbow mobility cane above their head like a weight lifter. They are wearing a blue and yellow thong, black crosses over their nipples and a nonbinary bow tie and not much else. Tito has a bemused smile on their face. The backdrop is holographic silver string that kept sticking to their body throughout their act.
For todayโs gig I danced around on a tiny stage and ripped half the backdrop off. ๐ #DragSky #DragKing

The process for doing anything connected to access to work apparently has to include panic and frustration.
I am trying to renew my grant to get the same support theyโre already giving me. Apparently this means they need a whole bunch of new info??
