My very-much-not-religious partner came to a memorial mass for my mum and others tonight. The recessional was "I will raise him up".

I knew the lyrics were coming. I knew how he'd react. I dared to look at his face which was contorted in horror and I LAUGHED SO HARD, I had to pretend I was crying.
Clip from the lyrics of the Hymn "I will raise him up". The lyrics read: Unless you eat Of the flesh of the Son of Man And drink of His blood, And drink of His blood, You shall not have life within you. And I will raise him up, And I will raise him up, And I will raise him up on the last day.

We went to Steve Backshall's Deadly 60 Live yesterday and one of his team took my camera (me and the nephew were taking skull selfies) and took high res pics of all the big skulls on stage for us.

Brilliant show and wonderful team behind it. Thank you.

The mouth and teeth of a great white (in skull form) in front of a red and blue screen. The teeth are sharp and huge. Close up of an allosaurus skull on a wooden plinth. Massive teeth. T-rex skull illuminated with a blue light on a dark stage. Teeth the size of bananas.

Cracking sky by the SECC Arena today.
Sky over the carpark at the back of the SECC Arena. The back of the sky is pale blue, and the clouds are grey on top but lit with a fiery orange glow beneath.

Orange breaks through purple clouds in a post-storm skyline of the Ayrshire coast with a field leading to sea, with anotjer jut of coast beyond. Greenan Castle is visible in the distance as a small black point.

No.

No no no.

That hoodie is not "preventing" any suicide.

And also, that isn't what "POV" means.

I'm mad, y'all.
FB post. Title: "£20 suicide prevention hoodies for sale" Image: a man in a black hoodie with his back to camera. The back of the hoodie reads: "Dear person behind me, the world is a better place with you in it. Love, the person in front of you." The caption reads "POV: you bought the suicide prevention hoodie for £20 and saved someone's life."

Tw weight/dress size. I do not think dress size is inherently "good or bad". (Also I know Amazon are evil and serves me right.)

I've gained a bit of weight due to depression (gone from a 12/14 to a 16 in a year). I have been going to the gym a lot recently.

Way to fuck my self-esteem. Sigh.

Loving my gym. Feeling stronger.

But there is a hard truth I have been avoiding...
Spiderman "Tell me the truth... I'm ready to hear it." Meme format. 3 Images. Image one: Mary Jane face looking sad, captioned, "Tell me the truth... I'm... I'm ready to hear it." Image two: Peter Parker looking serious, captioned, "The gym alone won't help with weight loss. You also need to cut down on the cheese and wine." Image three: Mary Jane face, crying.

Went to Cork. Many such artworks.
Image of a Palestine flag with the words "justice and freedom" in the centre and white outlines of ducks on a blue stone wall in Cork city, Ireland. The words "peace" and "Palestine" are written around the outside, along with what the OP assumes to be "peace" in different languages. Below it, there is a smaller image of a scroll with the quote: "When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it-always." Mahatma Gandhi Below this is a smaller Palestine flag next to the flag of Lebannon.

Blue sky in Scotland. 💙
Image of green grass, a brown hedgerow, and various green trees and bushes set against a very bright blue sky. There is a single cloud where the treeline meets the sky, and the sun is just out of sight to the top left of the frame.

Comments sections on FB continue to deliver quality content. 😅

FB post from "Dark, Spooky, Macabre &..." (name of group is cut off) showing a mock-up year book for the "Woodsboro High School Class of 96" with pictures below of the Scream cast with their character names. It is done to look like a real year book page. Post has over 9k likes and 358 comments. Close up of the same poster: a mock-up year book for the "Woodsboro High School Class of 96" with pictures below of the Scream cast with their character names. It is done to look like a real year book page. The logo for Woodsboro High (a panther in navy blue) is in the top corner, and the characters featured are (in order l-r) Top: Casey Becker, Billy Loomis, Sydney Prescott. Middle: Stuart Macher, Mr Himbry, Randy Meeks Bottom: Tatum Riley, Stephen Orth, Judy Hicks. Under Mr Himbry's photo is the caption: "we made it". Screenshot of exchange from the comments section: Commenter 1: Why does Casey Becker look like Drew Barrymore lol Commenter 2: because it is Drew Barrymore Commenter 3: probably the same reason Sid looks like Neve Campbell, but I’m just speculating

So this is not only a game that exists, but CEX had about 6 copies for sale.

Anyone played it?

Image of a game for the PS4 called "Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion". The graphics feature a cute cartoon turnip with three leaves coming from his head and rosy cheeks, walking in a lush green meadow with a bag of cash with a $ on it. In the background, a larger cartoon turnip with a monocle and moustache is watching him from behind a bush. There are also three red turnips (or possibly radishes) behind the bush. The game is PEGI 7. It has a £10 sticker on it from CEX.

Went running. For the first time in MONTHS.

I don't get dopamine from exercise (maybe swimming, but not indoors), so my reward is taking pictures.
Image of the Huskisson Memorial. A large circular sandstone grave marker (mausoleum, maybe?) with a door at the base and windows around the top. There is a crucifix at the very top.

Everyone I have shown the first picture to has reacted the same way I did. EVERYONE except my partner, who, after receiving the first picture and being told he would be on spider duty when he got home, sent me this.

My fave variant is this one, mostly because the OP seems to have MASSIVE beef with horses and that's so funny to me.
"Aborted Horse" Follows the "Aborted Girlfriend" meme structure with a central picture of a horse and the text around the outside being: "I'm not even sure they do horse abortions. Honestly I didn't check." "Now I can't kick you in the head and kill you" "Would have liked to throw you off my back and break your spine." "Who will hoard jewels and spread propaganda?" "Tell mom I said neigh" "It's cold here in hell where all horses go when they die"

Also, these at McDonalds.

TW spiders.

Tell me why I thought the world's biggest spider was in my house.

Goddammit, Tesco!
Close up of an open packet of hotdog buns from Tesco with what looks VERY like a giant spider inside. Same bun packet now straightened out and the reveal that the "spider" was an illustration of wheat.

An advert for a supportive bra for older women came up on one of my TLs and aside from a comment about how going bra free is bad for you because "look at indigenous women who go braless: their breasts sag" (yes, the spokeperson said that out loud. Yikes), it also contained this spectacular sentence.

Was playing a lot of MarioKart with my nephew and kept calling this guy "Squiddly Diddly". After correcting me ("It's a blooper!") for the first 10 matches or so, he's now referring to it as Squiddly Diddly as well.

I am winning. 😅
Image of a "blooper" from the Super Mario games series. It's a cartoon squid, white with 6 tentacles, a pointed head, no mouth or nose and white and black eyes.
