"be clear, you need to convey your point, you know what you're saying and your reader needs to know it also"

Ma'am, it's bold of you to assume I have a fucking clue what I'm doing and not just flailing and hoping

Yellow flowers in a blue jug with cream patterns on it

I'm getting a head start on my little acts of Welshness, daffs in our new mini jug, made at the (sadly now closed) St Fagans pottery

Christ, my nan was 41

I'm 50 in November 😭

My hand with physio tape strapped across it

Fun journeys in HSD, did 'something' to my thumb joint overnight, the upside is that taping it up is really easy to do myself, and the sensory feeling of being held tightly is very comforting!

Also, no knitting for me this week 😞

So I carved off a lean chunk of the steak before cooking it,

And made sure to set it on the edge of my plate, after I was done.

And then to look the other way. To let her steal it.

I got her her favorite thing, for her birthday -

Crime.

The curling is at a really important point for the match and THEY JUST STOPPED COVERAGE WTAF!?!

Happy Birthday!

2 wall lights above our bed

Let there be light!

Are they battery operated, yes. Are they so cheap the remotes affect both, yes. Are they held up with blu tac abs command strips, yes!

BUT! They're up, and you can't really tell how much it a bodge job they are unless you're really really close 😁

Whenever I tell my heterosexual male work colleagues that Mrs Beth and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s day they always tell me “my wife pulls that trick too” like we’ve said we don’t, but will get mad if the other one doesn’t. But they forget we’re two queer women who use direct communication

Another lovely week at #InkWell, this week we had a field trip to a wonderful printer maker, @print_market_project

I'm no political strategist but has anyone in Labour considered *not* alienating any huge chunk of their base? I just feel like they tried alienating the left and the centre left and the public sector workers and the academics, and none of those things worked great, so maybe give my idea a whirl?

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them!

The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.

2nd answer is 'try capiscum?"

(3rd answer is surgery on my neck, so that's super fun and unlikely to happen)

I have a weird spot on my arm that's been itchy for over a fucking month now

No skin marks, no obvious issues, no notable injury, nothing to really go on

Finally got the Google-fu right and it's referred nerve pain

Of course it's nerve fucking pain

Answer? Take the painkillers I'm already on.. 😭

get a room, boys

A fluffy cat in my arms. Cuddling me tightly

Apparently the only reason Davina wasn't a velcro cat was cause Emo demanded more loudly

This is the 2nd hour today she's insisted on being in my arms

so the women's biathlon is just as messy as the men's I guess. my suspicion as to why this is is because the sport contains the word "bi" in it and therefore has inherited bisexual chaos energy

this video idea is completely inspired by Priyanka Pande, so make sure to check out her video, too :) the track is from sing2piano i don’t monetize my videos or take sponsorships, so here’s a link if you’d like to directly support the channel (no pressure at all—only if you can! times are tough out here lol) ↓ buymeacoffee.com/iambrielleanderson #chappellroan #cover good luck, babe (but from the other girl's pov)

The trend of covering love songs from the other person's POV started as mostly funny parodies, but sometimes I stumble upon one like the story of the closeted girl from "Good Luck Babe" and in typical fashion lie on the floor and stare at the ceiling for a bit.

Annoyingly I don't have the source for this, I think it was a Bluesky user, but I found this a while ago (annoyingly it didn't help me as I don't have a paid sub, I prefer adverts, but it might help you)

And also this article www.businessinsider.com/how-the-top-...

There are legitimate disagreements about content warnings (I think they're fine) but the idea that theatre SHOULD make people uncomfortable is macho nonsense. Most theatre does not do that and people generally like to have a rough idea of what they're signing up for
