i think the uk should use the word foamer. or, at the very least, use spotter/anorak in the same grammatical and casual manner as foamer is used

anyway i highly recommend watching King of Drag if you haven't already

i'm not hashtagging anything if you know what i mean you know what i mean

they literally turned the golden beaver into the chocolate bar...

i'm jealous too, i want a brownie now

also, the thinnest times of my life happened during/because of extremely stressful situations, so, you know, fuck that

i've been having some body shape/weight insecurities recently. just now i looked through some family photos from my childhood and seeing my relatives (and myself!) fluctuate in shape over time has really reminded me how truly pointless it is to worry about these things

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

the seal for Nukus, Uzbekistan

the seal for Nukus, Uzbekistan is genuinely lovely

being into petplay in the north east must be very confusing

finally got round to watching y llais auditions and the audio mixing is SO much better!!!! itv take note!!!

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

my feeling is that it feels less physically awkward for some to hold the mic, so they don’t have to use their hands so much for the paralinguistics

once again i must state how fucking awful the audio mixing in the uk version of the voice is. it sounds like it's recording from the speakers at the back of the room and not the fuckin mic!!!!

just remembered a male comedian that i used to really like and realised they're not in comedy/on social media anymore, which, uh, doesn't bode well as to why that might be

a map of the municipalities within Tartu county, showing the island of Piirissaar (which is to the east of the county in Lake Peipus) being a part of the municipality of Tartu (which is to the west of the county in the mainland)

another bit of Tartu county madness – the island around the region i previously showed (and therefore the reason the weird border exists) is for some reason part of a subregion 50km away from it

[moves one step out of Põlva county] the beaches here in Tartu are nice

i can guess that the Tartu Sea Slither is just the land/sea positions changing with the border staying as set, but the two enclaves in that one tiny island

the border of the Estonian counties of Tartu and Põlva by the sea, showing Tartu taking a small region of land in what is mostly Põlva territory.

the Tartu and Põlva county border in Estonia, with Tartu county slithering alongside the land edge from the sea.

Tartu and Põlva county border in Estonia, showing a slither of Tartu border on the land edge by the sea, and a small island in Lake Pihkva that has two separate Põlva county enclaves within it.

people talk a lot about weird country borders, but sometimes i come across a county border that confuses the hell out of me

i wish more people noted the wonderful comedic timing of the jaunty music coming in after hacker says "we're just innocent men"

i wonder if this is a mandela effect cos i swear i've never heard it pronounced as /wɒmbə/ before

i've just realised it's chumbawAmba, and not chumbawUmba like i originally thought, and i *think* it's cos i didn't realise i'm supposed to hear it as /wɒmbə/ instead of /wʌmbə/

queen shit

1/2 will do!!! hell yeah sam nicoresti nomination!!!!

there are two comedians in particular that i'm hoping (with expectation that it seems likely that they) will be shortlisted for the edinburgh comedy award this year. one person getting nominated will make me happy, if both of them are in i'll be VERY happy.

i have learnt about a new kind of good drunk:

3 glasses of prosecco whilst sitting outside on a warm summers evening

earlier i remembered that windows media player has a visualiser and so i've basically been transfixed for the last 2 hours

i am *obsessed* with Gli
