It’s bad enough when people write ‘Joanna’ instead. What the actual fuck is this

Came out for food after a rough couple of weeks. Guy sits down on the next table and starts monologuing into his phone - some kind of long voice note. Why can’t people just stfu 😭

I’m pretty good on pop culture, and appreciate that nobody is going to know everyone… but someone who does celebrities’ hair, and a football TikTokker? Come on now, this isn’t Channel 5.

Car insurance company tried to negotiate us taking a cheaper offer using their ‘app rate’, which involves being location tracked by them for a month so that they can ‘tailor their future rates based on our behaviour’. Fuck right off with your dystopian surveillance and data hoarding 🤮

This is Theodora. She shocked everyone with her athleticism during a relay race. Would like to remind everyone that she is a herding breed and has actually been reaching these speeds for thousands of years. 13/10 (TT: rundownriver)

Feel hungover and exhausted, like I’ve had a full-on asthma attack. And that’s with the windows closed, etc. Clean air is so underrated 😅

12 July

We’re a good 15 miles away from the moor fires, but the air quality is fucking awful. Can’t imagine how it is there :( You’ll find me indoors for the foreseeable, probably having to sleep downstairs, because we can’t open the windows to cool the bedrooms down…

How to cope with 34 degree heat… build Lego under the air con while watching athletics, with an iced coffee and plenty of squash to drink. I’m very happy right now 😅🥰

Getting off the train was amusing, though. Saw the screen of an old guy (willing sitting in an aisle seat, in view of everyone) as he went to search for something in his browser - his phone tried to autofill to FREE PORN SITES as if it’s his most common search term. Naughty boy.

Wow, slagging off a man because he wants to be there for his partner and firstborn? I’m not often in the ‘men can’t win’ camp, but this time, it’s definitely the case www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

I feel like the social media ban for under 16s is well-intentioned, but surely they’ll just get around it, in the same way that we used to pirate mp3s and TV shows in the 00s? 😅 I feel like society would benefit more from shutting down the likes of predatory TikTok, Meta, Twitter etc completely 🤷‍♀️

And it goes without saying that I’d bin Gen AI, etc. I’m too millennial for all this bullshit XD

Been trying to find an article that sums up my opinion on performative activism. Namely how people are so quick to judge, bragging about how they’ve boycotted something that brings others joy, whilst using their slave-labour-built devices… This is the closest I could find: medium.com/@cyrille.jeu...

12 June

By all means, there’s a time and a place to call out *bad things*, but do we really need to wring every little last bit of joy out of the world right now, instead of allowing for a bit of grace and nuance? It’s impossible to live a totally perfect, pure and moral life, so let’s just try to be kind 🤷‍♀️

Shouldn’t we all just be Mx in this day and age, anyway? 🤷‍♀️

I swear Threads is full of rage bait. Some guy was asking how to address a woman in an email when he ‘didn’t know if she was a Mrs or a Miss’. Why are we still using different titles depending on marital status anyway? Men don’t. Even if I get married, I’m remaining a Ms with my own name, thank you.

Internet out for the whole area due to a cable being knocked. Could be up to 48 hours until it’s fixed. Obviously it waited until we’d both finished work for the week 😅

Going to stubbornly survive without any lamps or lights in most rooms, because I’m too lazy to use them without their smart activation 😂 And any visitors are being ignored, since the doorbell camera is down - you can’t be too sure!

Went to Glossop on Saturday when I thought my cold was getting better (it’s since got much worse XD). Callie enjoyed the walk in the sunshine and the football, but probably preferred the chicken, chips and gravy 😅

Having a day where we’re proper grown ups and get stuff done around the house. I arranged a plumber earlier this week and @stelisevil.bsky.social kept him company this morning - got a load of stuff fixed that needed going 💪 Now, to fully clear and disinfect the shed after a couple of rats moved in..

…over winter. At least I can start gardening again once everything is clean. Melfest playlist on, let’s go… (And now the outside tap is fixed, I can jet wash 💪)

Done! Shattered but accomplished. Now to walk Callie and head over to see @djdamien.bsky.social…

It’s nice enough to sit outside in the garden now 🥰 (Time to get it cleared up!)
