We've reached the point of the year where my toes have frozen into meat icicles that won't thaw until late spring. I'm not into foot stuff, personally, but I wonder if letting someone suck on them would finally warm them any 😭 #byme

Started #watching @crowdcontrol.dropout.tv + it's DELIGHTFUL. 6 eps in & gotta know- Is there a Discord the audiences hang out in so we can go get more of their stories? There've been SO many cool people I would love to be internet pals with. Whomever's picking them is killing it! #byme

I love when the Warwick Mop Fair is in town normally, but tonight, there's a crowd of very loud people having a grand time across the street. I shouldn't hear them so clearly through double glazing! It's 1 am, I have to lead multiple meetings at work later today, I need to be asleep 😭

20 years after leaving Florida, I am overcome with an overwhelming craving for boiled peanuts. How have I gone this long without them?! I need to buy a big pot and a lot of peanuts as soon as possible. I have to inflict them on everyone I know here who probably don't even know it's a THING #byme

This is a thread of hard-won tips and tricks for preventing the brain from falling over - or, at the very least, mitigating any falling over that may still occur, despite best efforts. Please do add yours to the list

Had a few okay hours- delicate and queasy but functioning, the migraine returned, and the rest of the day was low-lit and slow moving. Getting to bed early, capitalism needs me to clock in tomorrow. -_-

actually had energy to reorganize/dust my main bookcase. Halfway through project, having a great time, & taken down brutally by migraine. Spent from 8pm last night to 11am today in bed. Still very weak, but at least can be upright without wanting to vom. Have to put everything back now somehow ;_;

Long thread where I talk about moving to England from Florida 20 years ago. There's always more I could say (forgot to mention theatre & wrestling!), but 17 entries is more than enough for now. The summary is: I miss things there, but I love things here. The choice was a good un. I'll stay! #byme

20 years ago right now I was on a plane leaving everything I had known behind to take a chance on love in a different country. I was unusually certain it was the right choice. I made a mess of trying to pack & leave (Sorry fam!), but I got the paperwork right, and the man, too! #byme

Now I need to figure out how to help my comet partner to escape, as well. If anyone wants to hire a live-in artist, they have MANY skills, and are super cute. <3 #byme

New diagnosis on my chart just dropped. Got to rule out a bunch of stuff in the process, no arthritis or diabetes. I AM very low on Vitamin D, in spite of the multivitamins I take. I plan to become a massive pest and ask my husband for injections whenever I can. I also got suppliments. #byme

So I've officially been diagnosed with hEDS! I'd been trying to get my GPs to take me seriously for YEARS every time I sprained something new and told them I thought there was something fishy going on, but they always wanted to just blame my weight. Once again, I was correct about my body. #byme

Did you know that remembering to have a sandwich at lunchtime can in fact be a massive help in terms of continuing to fend off a threatening Menty B?

been put on this expensive training course and it all seems so obvious synergy-b.s.-jargon but apparently is a big deal in the corpo world and i'm just there looking around like the kid who pointed out the emperor's new clothes were nothing because... this is it??? if this is really it... #byme

the instructor was really nice. and some of the others in the group did make statements about how it made them rethink their business processes. was it lipservice? playing the game? was the idea of an SLA really new to them??? #byme

i found a couple of screenshots i can use to defend what i'd already been saying about (specific work nonsense I can't get into), hoping that maybe they'll treat it with more weight since it's from this super special certification course. but I'm not holding my breath. #byme

this is just a foundation course to ensure we all have the same definition in mind when we use words. because a dictionary doesn't cut it these days. don't get me started on the graphs and charts that are immediately made useless by "it isn't always like this" disclaimers... so why???? #byme

maybe the next courses are where it gets innovative, when we learn the tips and tricks to use the words and concepts we're learning to maximize value! just pay for the next installment for the big reveal! honest! man eating chicken scheme for real but as it's not my money- sure. let's go. #byme

passed the practice exam after day 1 of the course. By a lot more than they require. & they don't require much to pass at ALL, which imo makes the worth of the certification pretty low, honestly. what's the point if you only gotta know a little more than half of it??? this is HUNDREDS of £! #byme

a world-wide recognized qualification, supposedly. the more I learn about the business world the more angry i become. we can't have raises. we have to send people on courses to understand that digital services are based on digital products. 🤯 but maybe i'm being unfair. #byme

maybe i finally sell out and follow this line of courses all the way to become an expert in the field and let them pay me to say things like "vendors are people, too." can fund the things I actually want to be doing- like finally replacing my moldy wallpaper or broken oven! #byme

started Physical 100: Mexico and am SO HYPED. The Physical 100 series continues to be phenomenal. The sets, lights, editing, the non-toxic competition, the genuine encouragements, the appreciation for all types of disciplines. we've got manual laborers now!! Hell yes. I love them so much! #byme

ah- #watching. Blusky when can we start editing posts & adding tags like tumblr and livejournal? fuck the twitter model, mash things together! Why be a copy? Do ALL the things! #byme

Why do passport/ID forms still ask us to fill in what our hair color is? In my many decades since getting my first ID, I don't think I've ever had the same hair color twice. It's notoriously changeable, so useless for identification in any situation. I once had PURPLE hair, which gave the 1/🧵 #byme

women working in the office that day small panic attacks trying to figure out what procedure was. In my photo, it was purple. They had me write blonde, my natural color. 🤷‍♀️ Facing that issue again now for renewal. My hair is multiple colors, and I plan on dying soon. Going to put blonde. 2/🧵 #byme

It's a much darker blonde than it once was, but I refuse to accept brown. As long as my face matches the photo, it shouldn't matter. Ugh... I need a new photo... end/🧵 #byme

I donate to wiki every year. It can NOT be given to the profit-seeking, it's too valuable!!

the babahuck@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social

when wikipedia launched, the idea that an encyclopedia could be reliably maintained by the public was a joke. now, it's a marvel, a remarkable resource, virtually the only website that remotely delivers on its potential and practically the last pleasant browsing experience on the internet.

done lots of stuff with medical professionals over the past week to further figure out wtf else is wrong with my body. making progress, but it's frustrating and exhausting, so I'm not very interactive lately. I peek in on the pretty art and go away again. I'll be back eventually. #byme

The moment you are excited to get into bed, only to find the pile of clean laundry on it that earlier you was sure you'd remember to put away. "Later Amy's problem," I said. What a bitch. #byme

Coworker: which Bon Jovi song is your fav? Me: asking a bisexual to pick a fav is homophobic 🤣 He DELETED the question and apologised! I made it clear I was just joking (thought the emoji covered me) and he made it clear how serious he was about not offending anyone. Bless his heart! #byme

I'm at Wembley to see Bon Jovi. Something I wanted since I was 5. That was a very long time ago. I'm full of emotions I don't know what to do with. Definitely gunna cry! #byme #concert

It ended and I cried and we went to TGIFridays with like all of Wembley so they put on a Bon Jovi playlist and the whole place has been singing along. It's epic. 10/10 food, service, and atmosphere. #byme #concert

got myself put back on the state's vote-by-mail list again. -_- I really wish it wasn't something you had to keep asking for. I'll let you know if I move back, honest. Because it's not happening. Send me my ballot! #byme #vote

Travelling at end of the week, got a reminder email, so double checked what all I booked & glad I did- somehow booked the wrong hotel over an hour from the venue. -_- Thankfully had paid for the free cancellation, & found somewhere closer *much* cheaper! let's hope last of the trip stress... #byme

“Be Strong enough to be gentle.” Peter Cullen tells the story of how his brother inspired the voice he would use to play Optimus Prime. It’s a simple yet poignant quote that sums up why Optimus and Peter are so beloved. Til All Are One. 💔

Peter Cullen?!?! ;_; oh man, my household is SAD. He's probably my husband's biggest hero. He had tickets to meet him in 2020, but then the world shut down, and it never happened. He's seeing the Transformers movie in cinema for the 40th release anniversary, & Optimus' death is gunna hit HARD. #byme
