September promosky❗️

Took inspiration from @jess.shakesess.fyi and @hotcheetoyo.bsky.social thank you both!!

Anyone else find they can't fit everything they want to say within the character limit 😅? #promosky #promobluesky #septemberpromo

🩷&🔄 appreciated as always

😚

This is a VERY long image description so buckle in!

Image is my promosky, with loads of information about me. The background is a checkered cream, with a purple outline.

The top left reads: "Rachael (do NOT call me Rach, ever ❌️)

she/they" in black text.

The top right is a photo of me and its description is: "A white person stood in their bedroom. They are pictured from the chest up and have pastel/bubblegum pink hair, and pink glasses. They are wearing a blue-ish grey hoody with the word "Iconic" written on it in white text and are looking at the camera and smiling. In the background, you can see Pokémon posters and Pokémon/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Beyblade cards on the cupboard."

On the left is another piece of text that reads: "Lil about me:
30
Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Queer
Care Experienced
Socialist ✊️
Employability/ESOL tutor".

And underneath that text is some pink writing that says "torchic squish!" in capital letters. Below that is a photo of said torchic squishmallow. Its image description is: "The Pokémon Torchic. It is in squishmallow form; a round orange chicken, with yellow-ish feathers around its torso, a yellow beak, black eyes, and a yellow and orange comb. It is sat on my cream-y rug."

To the right of the 2 previous is some pink writing that says "random facts 🌸" in capital letters. Below that, the facts are written; "✨️I write capital Y's backwards
✨️I have 1 tattoo & 1 piercing, want more ✨️I abseiled down the Forth Rail Bridge for charity ✨️You can find me eating, yapping, or complaining 99% of the time". These are all written in black text and each fact is in a white box with a pink outline.

Below the facts is are my interests, which are: "CATS 🐈‍⬛️, Squishmallows 🧸, My friends 🫂, Bluesky, Shonen anime (yugioh/beyblade/pokemon), Everything purple 💜🐙👾🎵, Skincare, Lady Gaga 👩‍🎤." Each interest is bulletpointed with this flower emoji 🌼 and is in black text and on a sticky note image background.

Got a letter summoning me for jury duty in the New Year

😬

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 10h

Was in for nearly 7 hours working through training modules 🙃 I'm so tired & hangry

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 18h

On my way to my induction for my 2nd job. Forgot my bank card, thankfully I can buy my train & bus tickets without having the actual card on me. But I can't buy any juice or plasters 🙃

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 1d

Had to leave 45 minutes early tonight cause I'm getting my hair done- missing out on the party- which I don't care for cause I don't care for Halloween- but the chief exec ordered us all loads of food so I've left before that got there 🥲

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 1d

Ohhh, doing too many things at once is coming back on me.

I finally have my training for my volunteering role next Thursday, but it's the same night as the whocares group.

So I'll have to miss the group, but I'm also missing taking part in a consultation I would've got £70 for doing 🥲

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 1d

I'll be the only one from our company going so I won't have anyone to yap to for half the week 💔

Still be based in our original Falkirk location so I can yap to someone for the 2nd half of the week, but I like being able to bother a colleague 🤣

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 1d

Got 2 full 8 week courses starting from next week (both 1 day a week), I have full responsibility for them from the beginning. Ooof ☠️

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 1d

Don't bring a dog on a public transport vehicle if you don't make any effort to get the animal to sit down & stay still 🤦‍♀️

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 1d

That wasn't even that person's dog?? Unwell behaviour 😭

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 1d

Dog lovers are SO fucking odd man. Sitting ranting on about how cats are evil then sitting on the bus floor petting & fussing a dog- meaning neither you nor the dog is staying still on a moving vehicle??? Utter moron 🙄🤦‍♀️

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 1d

Also, good thing I always check the tracking map when a bus is listed as cancelled cause it was still on the road!

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 1d

Getting 7/8 hours of sleep feels the same as 3 hours 🥲

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 2d

Nothing, and I mean nothing, enrages me more than people who relentlessly spell my name wrong. Especially via email when it's in my email address AND signed off in my email communications.

One of the most ignorant things you can do is spell someone's name wrong, constantly.

😡😡😡

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 2d

I FOUND WALKERS PICKLED ONION CRISPS ❗️❗️❗️

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 2d

Other tutor has come in with a cold, and now my throat feels spicy 😵‍💫

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 2d

I take mine everywhere with me! 7 hours on a train, most I've done is 4 😵‍💫

Time to eep

Goodnight bluesky fam 🩷

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 3d

Update: had to push my training back twice cause I had an interview, then I got called in to deliver a course at work last minute.

So training is booked for the 3rd time! It'll be outside (probably a cafe or something), but that's fine, I've done weirder online meetings 😂

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · Sep 5

Update:

Had my 1:1 meeting & it went really well!

Booked onto some training in a few weeks and need to fill out my PVG form

🙂

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · Sep 2

Update:

They got back to & I have a wee 1:1 chat on Friday where they find out some more info about me, and we sort ID/PVG stuff

🙂

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 3d

Maybe in my next life, I won't have dry ass skin 🫩

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 3d

Of course!

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 3d

Nice!! I played Pokémon Y on the 3ds for a short period 😅

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 3d

Got tickets to see some comedians next year, looking forward to it 🥳

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 3d

Pretty! And I love your hair!!

Rachael 🤗 @urfavouriterachael.bsky.social · 3d

What was your first pokemon game?
What gaming system did you play it on? (gameboy/ds etc)
First starter?
Is that first starter your favourite starter overall, or do you have a different favourite?
Do you name all the pokemon you catch?
