i am not one for new year resolutions, but here's one i really HAVE to stick to this year, and the sooner the better:
move out of this fucking kip of a house.
it's been getting progressively worse for my mental and physical health over the past few years, and i just can't anymore.

the annoying thing about getting back to horse riding at the ripe old age of almost 40 is that, when you fall off, you don't immediately recover like you did when you were 15 😆
(i am sore all over but it's worth it. look at this baby angel who accidentally bucked me off!)

ok the wicked double bill was a good idea and i enjoyed it enough that i would maybe even be convinced to see the stage show again at some point.
like, not soon, but at some point.
but also will never forgive the creators for not letting e+g+f form a throuple. they'd be perfect. for each other.

it's nice that authors now do content warnings before the book starts, but can they pls start doing that for the thing where they insist on referring to people who are not human as "males" and "females" because i fucking LOATHE that.

Israel has intercepted at least some of the Global Sumud Flotilla. It's an illegal interception of a peaceful humanitarian mission in international waters, and is the latest in a long line of actions by Israel that the world's governments should not be standing by and allowing.
