There should be a new publication called Teen Resistance which would hire everyone and do the job.

Oh. They teach you to measure your foot and everything.

Shell @notsurewho.bsky.social · 2d

Oh! Eek. A big risk if you don't know your size, but they look great.

Shell @notsurewho.bsky.social · 2d

Oh. Is there a store in Ireland? These seem like good notions.

I hate that you have to book hairdressers days in advance.
I need my hair cut. Today I have the bandwidth to cope with going to a hairdresser. I did not know this earlier in the week.
I may not have this capacity next week.

Congratulations!

Another subscription gone because of an outrageous price increase.

And realistically all I'll miss are the Kdramas.

Shell @notsurewho.bsky.social · 5d

I have shown this to my mother, who grew up on Princes Street, and she has gone
" oooh, that's lovely."

Are the JK CK ads safe for work...
Probably not.
Probably shouldnt play em at my desk.

Parma violets.

*Not US candy, a UK and Ireland sweet.

They are still in the Swizzels Halloween variety packs, so some people out there must like them

Just me reporting unwanted religious ads on insta as misinformation.

Random question but is there a repository of sci-fi / fantasy building dimensions, or the like, which somebody learning AutoCAD can use to practice 2d layouts?

Shell @notsurewho.bsky.social · 13d

Let me translate this email from IT for ye.

"It has come to our attention that some of you are using 'password' as your password. What. The. Actual. Fu*k. We've been through this! YOU WATCHED THE TRAINING VIDEOS! And NO, using the password for the wifi for everything is not okay either."

Apparently it's possible to have an ear worm without remembering either the tune or the lyrics.
Because I just spent two hours with the phrase 'Scarlet for you' stuck in my head. No other lyrics no melody

Ha.. and warm.

The roll on deep heat is great until you realize it's the same size and shape as your deodorant and that you can't tell them apart in the dark.

Random post on my timeline: more info in the pictures.

Me: I don't know who these people are, but I know they're new enough to this community, as there's no alt text on their text heavy images.

I have spent the morning sneezing. So I have the 'ohwoe, fomo'.

Shell @notsurewho.bsky.social · 24d

Oh man. If I had made it to Octocon I would have probably lost 50 squid or more at Liz's table.
And have no regrets
