Kiwi in the UK, described by British MPs as “cheap foreign labour”. Sweary leftie into travel, books, geeky wee moments, coffee, gigs. Ex-fundie. Cis ally 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️. Curious about the green slimy thing looking over your shoulder as you read.

Hey new followers! 👋🏻 I’m your garden variety sweary lefty. I’m into UK/NZ politics, travel, books, history, architecture/art and silly little things that tickle my brain. I have been known to drunk-post about Eurovision, rugby and dating. Fair warning: I’m a sporadic poster 😄
So excited that @sachacoward.bsky.social ‘s book, Queer As Folklore has arrived in time for Christmas. Thanks @thecommonpress.bsky.social! This will make my housebound Christmas very cosy and folklorish and 😀🐉🧚♀️🦄🏳️🌈

Re-watching bits of Good Omens (I miss Terry Pratchett!) and I really wish Aziraphale’s bookshop was real. With a ditzy Jon Hamm.

Trying a new thing: noodling about with oracle cards. Let me know if you’d like me to pull a card/do a one card reading for you 🌌✨

Whenever I see people saying GenAI will replace human art I just think, like, maybe you can make an AI that writes in the style of Alan Moore, but you can’t make it smoke so much weed that it begins worshipping a sock puppet and digs a magic cave under its house, so it’ll never be better than him.

I have a joke about Cassandra but no one would believe me if I told it
I have a joke about Cerberus. It’s a shaggy dog story.
I have a joke about Oedipus, but it’s a real motherfucker

I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

I’m watching Boots which is brilliant and me being me, it got me thinking: there’s *got* to be a romance out there about two gay marines, right?
And if there isn’t, I’m putting that on the list of Queer Romances that Need to be Written along with one about lesbian/bi rugby players.

Learning to express anger safely has been crucial since LC/PVF, because it literally makes me sick. I don’t have it down, but rage-journaling, going for angry little walks while listening to punk music and pressing my hands against a wall all work much better than Being Very Protestant/Staunch.
