ONE MORE SLEEP!!!!

Bf's family are lovely but it's been a week of masking and biting my tongue

Longing to fly home
To stim, sing and talk to myself
Kitten cuddles
Eat rubbish and drink alcohol without feeling guilty/judged
Recover from being this weird version of myself

Mad panic as I lost my passport on day of travel

It was in the craft drawer with all the pens and paints obviously!

Really amuses me that my main xmas present from boyf was going to be a back up gift for his 7 year old nephew if I didn't like it.

Sorry nephew, I'm too much of a big kid!

Xmas tomorrow!

The benefit of spending Xmas in Ireland with bfs family is having our own mini one before travelling and opening the pressies we got each other ☺️

Of all the sins of AI, this is an unexpected and deeply annoying one
Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

A gay friend of my dad's came back from holiday, having seen NFL and excitedly declared, "I've discovered 'Rugby: The Musical'"

I think the age of streaming has resulted in 4+ hour playlists rather than the carefully curated mixtapes we'd make when we were limited to what would fit on a cd.

Does anyone else still create mixtapes/playlists with an intentionally limited number of tracks?

Or create them for specific people?
Hello. I would like to celebrate the lost art of the compilation album as an eye and ear opening path into pleasures previously unknown. It might be a sampler, it might be a mix album but it's a person's singular vision of a particular genre or theme. Thread below of some favourites

Love this post!

I love both of the Bugged In mixes by Erol Alkan for the unexpected breadth of genres and decades they covered allowing me to discover new artists

Similar vibe with Trentemøller's Harbour Boat trip mixes

I've been struggling the last few months, unable to focus during the workday and doing the work out of hours instead.

I don't know what's causing it, as folks at work are lovely and not unreasonable.

In my free time decision paralysis is taking over, spending all my time figuring out what to do.

I changed my name 17 years ago (just name not pronouns or gender). I'd never been happy with my birthname and I decided to make the best of our entire office being laid off, using that as an opportunity for a clean switch.

I gave the family a few months heads up as I knew they wouldn't be happy
my niblings were *three and six* when i came out to that side of the family, with my new name and they/them pronouns. they switched immediately and got it right 97% of the time, and corrected all the adults around them who misspoke
“How do I explain trans people to my kids”

mate, what are you explaining? “Kids, this is Mr Jay, would you like to wave or fistbump or shake hands?”

what is there to explain beyond “here’s a person”

Eugh EE trying to con me by telling me they're giving me a free* tablet when I had to phone to renew the broadband

* they didn't mention the extra tenner a month I'd have to pay for data, despite me specifically saying I didn't have much use for a tablet. They lied saying it was cheapest deal

For months I've thought someone has been talking about a cat and it only dawned on me today they've been referring to their partner when they mentioned that 'the bear' takes lukewarm showers

They even posted conversations and I just assumed they were imagined conversations with the cat (like I do)

Whilst scrolling through here, I got to wondering which person you follow on here you'd choose to cook for you.

I'd choose @mandapen.bsky.social. Who would you choose?

#Pathfinder2e Playing a tanuki monk in (based somewhat on the personality of Avatar's Uncle Iroh). Starting to get to grips with how he plays.

Online games mean we can play with Kev's friends over in Ireland. Looking forward to catching up in person when we visit family over Xmas

Not naming folks who might not appreciate the attention but thanks to those who post their anxieties, doubts + quirks. To those sharing their small wins and petty annoyances.

I fret and self-edit far too much (getting better with it) but your posts are so validating

Sending good vibes your way x

Saw Pillion at cinema, entirely male audience made up of 3 couples and one solo.

Snuck in a flask filled with homemade gin martinis. Don't judge, it kept them cool and you're only jealous you didn't think of it first.

No spoilers/reviews until @ayrtonobrien.bsky.social has seen so we can discuss
