Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

My cat is 14 years old, we’ve had him since he was a kitten, yet he still sits on my lap as though we are strangers meeting for the first time. Like he doesn’t know if it’s okay, has never traversed a landscape such as me before and doesn’t know the gravitational pull, or terrain. It’s awkward.

Are there any happy billionaires? Taylor Swift’s latest burn book of an album makes me think they’re all miserable people and it might do them good to have some real struggles in life, rather than brood over petty one-way feuds 24/7.

This storm had better not interfere with or soak my Frightened Rabbit - Painting Of a Panic Attack vinyl which is due for delivery tomorrow 😭 I cannot be thwarted by a storm with my own name.

Lmao at the search underneath this MSNBC TikTok being “bald American racist politician”. Stephen Miller should trademark it while he can.

(person who doesn't really get what chimps are) jane goodall, you finally live with the chimps now ❤️

Our Little Tesco has closed for the next three weeks for a refurb and I keep thinking, like 18 times a day: “I’ll nip to Little Tesco later and…” and then I remember it’s closed 🥺 mournful music plays and a soft focus slideshow of me all carefree wandering the aisles in better days as I remember…

Why have I not read Jane Eyre before? 😭 decades wasted on not reading this book. I’m sitting here gasping and groaning and swooning.

I’m reading Jane Eyre and I was gone for Mr. Rochester but tbh he’s properly given me the ick with that stunt he pulled. You know what I mean. No spoilers, but when the Ingrams are there. What was he thinking with that? If it was Love Island I’d bin him for that.

I don’t think I’ve ever been affected by a book as much as I have been by Maurice by E. M. Forster. I don’t know what to do with myself (book-wise) after a soul walloping of this magnitude.

Been getting back and neck pain from rotting in bed so I’m rotting in the living room for a bit, instead.

I’m watching The Girlfriend and all I keep thinking is, “Over THIS guy?!” I wouldn’t have the fight in me for this big wet blanket. Olivia Cooke is brilliant in this. Love watching her.

I had the Mirena coil inserted like a week and a bit ago and the initial flood of hormones have caused the worst acne breakout I’ve had in a decade or more. I know I should be old enough to not care about it but I’m on my way out to see friends and I’m so embarrassed I am on the verge of tears.

This is one of those days where decades happen. And it’s fucking exhausting.

Found my cat’s favourite toy which has been missing for ages. He’s so happy 🥹

I bought some chocolate off TikTok shop and it’s wrapped like a brick of heroin.

Stroke.

BBC News headline: Frankenstein is monster success at Venice film festival

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

This Reform UK shit is so dark. The UK is feebly limping along behind America into fascism and it’s so pathetic it makes me kind of sick. I can’t imagine looking at the rapid state of decline and collapse in America and thinking, Yeah let’s do that. Fucking embarrassing.

Millennial retirement planning

I mean this literally. The exact same hair.

Went to the hairdresser yesterday and I cannot get my hair to go the same way he did it so now I look like

Relief 😮‍💨 in knowing I won’t be missing anything good 😌

Okay I can’t sleep and I’m grumpy about it. “Put the phone down Amy…” I cannot. I am stuck in a doom scrolling loop. I will perish here.

You know a trait which fucking sucks? People who act all cynical and pessimistic purely so they can avoid looking like someone got one over them down the line. There’s nothing wrong with inviting some hope in your life. You won’t look stupid if allowed yourself to be hopeful for a second.

Bullying is fine so long as you do it for a noble cause!

These people are not doing anything to anyone else and yet cunts are sharing these screenshots and concern trolling and mocking them. You care about loneliness? Go volunteer to combat it. You care about AI for environmental or social reasons? Go protest the companies. Leave these people alone. Creep
