I own an absolute ton of Crayola Crayons.

So today I have found and bought on eBay a complete 64 colour box from 1978. Which has about 10 or so retired colours in it. Which I don't own. (Well I do now!).

I don't use them btw.

I just house them.

#dontjudge

Slightly overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I have to deal with as we are buying a house and I need to pack here up.

So instead of a To Do list, a Not Do list will be formulated.

It will mainly consist of "Do Not pick up your phone" as it eats all my time up for no bloody reason.

Just quietly going to rant in a corner about how Meta hides comments on our business pages ....

And those comments are the ones defending the survivors of sexual abuse whereas the comments defending the abusers stand unhidden.

I've spent twenty minutes Unhiding comments sat at a services.

My Hubs had never seen The Prisoner up until this last couple of weeks he is loving it.

Now I admit, I am a fan of the series. I've watched all 17 episodes several times over the years.

They did a remake back in 2009.

I've never seen it.

Has anyone here seen it ?

Is it worth my time?

Has anyone else spent days cataloguing their art materials?

We'll be moving in the next six months (hopefully much much sooner than that) and I realised I had no clue exactly what I owned.

I don't want to lose anything in the move.

2 huge spreadsheets later ...

Just putting my thoughts down.

If you make someone uncomfortable, look at your behaviour.

You may think you are being friendly, but the timing, place etc makes you a creep.

If a woman is alone, and you are male, don't approach them at a campsite when they are going for a wee at 6am... 🧵

There is nothing that screams at you to move towns more than the comments on the local What's On page's information post about a car park closure.

Fuck me...they come across as being in a different county when they handed out brain cells.

This particular car park closure directly affects me. 🧵

A personally difficult story for us, but a necessary one.

My statement below, for the record [as an image+alt text, so it all fits on one page]. It's all I can manage at this time.

I knew this piece about Neil Gaiman was in the works, and still, I felt sick reading it.

TW: rape, abuse, coercion, and child sex abuse.

For those that don't know me, I wrote #DiscworldMonthly for ten years, now I write @betterthan.bsky.social and run Llamedos Holiday Camp and the Portal to Discworld at Fantasy Forest.
I create a lot of art, some of which I sell, and I ride a lot of rollercoasters.

Sometimes I combine the two.
