If I don't get this recap out today, you can all blame C for distracting me with 2 hours of Magic The Gathering nonsense.

Pretty much exactly what happened!

every time Halloween season rolls around I think about this comment on Arcade Fire's horrific cover of Lorde's Green Light.

A comment left under the Radio One Live Lounge cover of Green Light by Arcade Fire that reads:

"I'm gonna be this cover for Halloween"

no, you're right. I actually really rated their arrangement of Training Season for Karen and Carlos tbh. Slightly dreading their version of Soda Pop this weekend

in that terrible stage of my Strictly recap where I've hit the last few dances that I have just about nothing to say about 🫠

"Redwood Tree..."
and it's all downhill from there.

Apparently the prize was untelevisable. #gbbo #BakeOff

my new favourite hobby is just reading lyrics from The Life of a Showgirl to C to see how many times I can make him cringe.

Wi$h Li$t almost broke him.

I don't know if Paul is critiquing the pie or just Toby #gbbo #BakeOff

You could sort of get bored with that...

I think Toby and his girlfriend may have a lot to discuss. #gbbo #BakeOff

Now I need Pail to put me in my place. Take me down.

It's insane to see how much the UK has actively fucked over these services.
When I transitioned. I waited 18 months for Sheffield's clinic. By this metric, I wouldn't have even had my first appointment yet.

*cut to an elaborate movie-style heist to steal this coat specifically*

AAAAH-riadne Griffin @ariadnereviews.bsky.social · 1d

Got an ad for the most incredibly stupid and stunning coat only for it to be £11,500 in Net-a-porter 😭

I don't know what I've done to warrant ads for luxury clothing but LOOK it's so cunty

A long leather coat with white, black and brown panelling in a vaguely nonsensical western cowboy motif. It's really silly.
