Today is not the day to be standing over a hot stove cooking chilli, but my veggies, they were due to expire. And I have a deep craving for sour cream.

"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."

Do you know what I would like?

A nice day where it's hammering down with rain, I'm at home in something warm and cosy, I've got my little throw and snacks, and I've just put in Disc 1 of the extended edition of The Fellowship of the Ring.

I want that. Romanticise the shit out of that lazy day xo

I’ve met a fella. It’s going alright.

I’ll let you all know when I get dumped so you can mute me for 8-10 weeks xoxo

I’m meeting my mum for lunch today and wearing my green and white striped tee so she can’t suggest we go to the Rangers Club.

Once again, your daily reminder from me, that you are hot and I wish you knew how hot you were but I will continue to tell you that you’re hot until you get it.

Should invest in various historic dress so that I can from peasant to plague doctor to Georgian baron and rest on factory worker and make it a real show.

My mum used to be really bad for this. "there's a handsome lawyer in my office. He's from a good family and makes good money." Aye awrite Mrs. Bennet, wind yer neck in.

I need to stress that "award-winning" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, but there is a certificate in a nice frame that the lord provost gave me so it counts.

Royston Doors Open Days - Talk Join historian Andy Cuthbertson as they talk about the history of Royston from the medieval era through to the 1930s.

You should come and hear me talk about history, I'm not bad at it. I'll talk about medieval women, what happens to rich people when they're done for sedition, the covenanters, lots of plague, Glasgow's poorhouses, education, and what life was like for Irish Catholics in the industrial revolution.

Once again, @k8lister.bsky.social knocking it out of the park.

Heavy is the shoulder that suddenly finds itself with a partnered friend’s hand upon it, eyes locked on yours with a look somewhere between pity and disgust, as the words β€œdon’t worry, you’ll find someone” spill out unsolicited.

Shout out to the lady across the street from me who always seems to be applying lip gloss by the window every time I look over.

By shout out I mean it’s disconcerting and I am going to tell my mum.

The thing I like about being from Scotland is every so often you’ll see a bus destination and it’s like β€œWest Crindledyke” and you’re like β€œnaaaaaaaaaaah, nobody is from Cridnledyke let alone it’s directional outlying communities. Crindledyke isn’t real.”

This lesbian bar - a lot of mitski
Spurlock's Cafeteria - my classical music playlist
Streetcar! - my musicals playlist
Stop blowing your sax - my jazz playlist

What was I saying just a few days ago, like every day I think β€œsurely it can’t get weirder” and then I’m slapped in the face by my own gross naΓ―vetΓ©.

Feel like an exasperated maw as their kid comes into the living room and says β€œmuuuuuum” and I’m just grinding up codeine saying β€œWHAT IS IT NOW”

I'm not so well versed in the who's who of the Polari Prize, but I was wondering how it was even possible that they hadn't done a total 180 since the long list was announced. And hey, now I know, and wish I could say I was surprised.

There is a wasp next to me on the bus and I am trying to play it cool but my jaw has clenched so hard that it’s caused a a wormhole to open that the wasp is still too fucking stupid to go through

Nothing says you want to show the world the truth about Gaza like assassinating journalists. Fuck off IDF.

I really liked Veilguard. I wish I didn't feel the need to justify that, but I think it sits perfectly well within all Dragon Age games where elements of it are completely indefensible, and others are the best of the series.
