I love David Tennant. He's awesome. But ... Can someone please tell him that the hair dye is not working the way I think he must think it is?

I don't want to live in a world in which someone explains that "Damon Albarn from Gorillaz used to be in a band called Blur" like that's some kind of obscure music trivia. 🤦

I have come to the conclusion that A Court of Thorns and Roses exists because Sarah J Maas masturbated to the masquerade ball scene of Labyrinth one too many times.

I was curious about the fuss (yes, I know I'm, like, ten years later to the party) and borrowed A Court of Thorns and Roses from the library. It's ... not what I would call a good book but it *is* improved by wine.

Can we please ban the phrase "buttery soft" from the fashion industry? They've over used it and should lose their privileges.

I'm reading a book written by an Australian set partially in the US with one of the two main characters being American. The American notices people pushing "prams" in the city and has just had a conversation with her mother about her mother booking a "holiday." Um ... Americans don't talk like that.

Just spotted a conservative looking gentleman carrying a briefcase on one hand and a dinosaur lunchbox in the other. He was not in the company of a child. That was his lunchbox. I love it. :)

Oh great. A fascist dictatorship forming in the US; Genocide in Gaza; Eugenics rulings in the UK; an election in Australia; and now a dead Pope for the media to cover exhaustively to the detriment of literally everything else. Fun.

We're currently doing a major overhaul of the cluttered house. Me to my self diagnosed ADHD husband: All that junk there nee..
ADHD husband: It's not junk. It's stuff.
Me *deep breath*: Ok. All that junk stuff needs to move.

Dude. What the FUCK is up with perimenopausal cramps?! It's like I'm 16 again and having to call my mom to pick me up from school because of pain. Or in labour.

I love Ncuti Gatwa so much but I really wish he'd lose the mo. Did this generation learn nothing from the 70's/80's creepy mo trend?!

Every once in a while the internet reminds me that America still has a weird cork snobbery about wine which assumes screw top = cheap/shitty wine. Dudes. This is not a thing anymore.

I was discussing goth fashion with my 16yo son last night. He talked abt the symbol jewellery like crosses, etc. Then he said that, actually, ankhs are more the thing these days & proceeded to to describe to me what an ankh is. I was like, "Dude, I was a teenager in the 90s. It's not a new trend." 🤣

That moment when you casually mention having seen Pearl Jam in Seattle back in the day (though slightly later that the best part of the proverbial Day) forgetting that it's a big deal for some ppl and the Brit/Australians you're with freak the fuck out. Oops.

My dog isn't well. $375 at the vet w no real answers apart from it's his abdomen that's painful, his bloods show an inflammatory response but they're also not too bad, & he should have an ultrasound but that can't be arranged until Monday. I'm in a full blown panic attack

I got new glasses & picked up my 19yo kid. I look at him significantly a few times to try to get a comment about the glasses. Kid: What? Me: *points* New glasses! Him: They look exactly the same. Me: They're an entirely different colour & shape. Him: I'm autistic and have ADHD. What's your point? 🤣

Some guy got on the train ahead of me and walked slowly, hesitated, changed direction, etc. This delayed *my* ability to actually step onto the train AND made me miss an opportunity to get a seat. So I actively loathed him for the full trip to the city. I feel like I did what was necessary.

Anyone near the RAC Arena in Perth and want to bring me a couple of bottles of water? What a fucking shitshow.

We got a pregnant foster cat. The rescue coordinator recommended we put her in a bathroom instead of the loungeroom as the birth might ruin the carpet. I said the carpet needs replacing anyway. She said she just wanted to make sure I was aware that the birthing can be messy so it wasn't a surprise.

I'm not feeling well but the grocery shopping needs to get done. Friends, I did something I usually try to avoid at all costs: I sent my husband to do the grocery shopping. This usually results in frustration as he tends to buy random expensive shit & forget important stuff. This could end in tears.

Imma mainly talk about inane shit here (when I remember here exists). The world is literally crumbling & it's not that I don't care it's that I just *waves hands* can't engage with any of it. I'm burnt out from work. I'm burnt out from world events. I'm only capable of inane shit rn
