I watched a Thai BL show called Cutie Pie and I thought it was too cute. So that’s my own fault then really!
Also I get annoyed at plots based on pointless lying. One honest conversation and there would be no show.
The side couple/plot was fantastically weird though. I kept going just for them.

Want to read my books for free? Easy.
Get them from a library. I get paid, you're supporting the ecosystem, and you get to read them in print. Everyone wins.
Instead, my work has been stolen over 50,000 times (!) on pirate sites.

I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.
Yes, stole it.
I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

Walking around a gigantic shopping centre for work research.
There is Christmas stuff everywhere, in addition to the blinding overhead lighting.
This is no way to live. Why are people here for fun? Save yourselves! Flee!

This book by @catswrites.bsky.social absolutely hooked me. Love story between a con man and the neurodivergent Earl he wants to con. I love them both so so much.

TW: grief
Emotional morning watching the live stream of my dear friend Piotr’s Polish funeral
He passed 4 months ago, and I’ve already been to the UK funeral and a friend-made memorial. But it was good to see him finally laid to rest in his own country. At home.
I miss him deeply. Love you Piotr.

Everyone trading photo cards and squealing about their favourite members. So cute.

FFS. Where’s my one shirt? I swear I owned a shirt. I vaguely recall something with buttons. I remember because I resented its existence.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

I just restored a bunch of content areas I had no idea was being hidden from me. One was “Rude”, which made me laugh.
Unfortunately I’m in the UK and the Online Safety Act means I can’t access my messages or ‘adult content’ anyway.
But still, everyone, go do this.

Every time I see a buff, muscular person, or just a clip of a gym, I get hit with a weird surge of grief.
I was such a gym bunny before I got sick. Weights genuinely made me happy. And I loved how masc I looked.
I love my body cos it’s mine and it’s doing its best. But man, I miss having muscles.
