I went and found the whole poem and, god *damn*.

Oh hey you lived in Strasbourg, that's where I'm from!! Yeah Alsace is full of POS racists 👍 even more then elsewhere in France.

I have some choice anecdotes from growing up in the countryside there that I like to deploy to illustrate why I don't live there now :|

Yeah the decals are a sort of vivid lime green, not far off yellow tbf

Mine were wall to wall "bright pupil but she could do even better if she put more effort in" ah ha ha 🫠

(I do have an official diagnosis, not that Wes Streeting thinks it's worth the paper it was printed on)

(It's very much not a funny story but the narration has a dry sarcasm to it because of the way the main character sees himself and also the world)

Someone listened to the first few chapters of my novel that I recorded and they said they laughed out loud at one joke and I think that might have been the absolute best compliment I've ever gotten.

Yep, yup, yeuhhhppppp

It's more a question of saturating the minds of the few people who have that decision-making power rather than reaching more of them. genAI / LLMs have to be absolutely *everywhere* so that B2B software purchasers won't even think of buying non-AI products.

I love that Scotland is one big blob, aha 🫠

look i just really like gorse, ok? it's just a cool af, metal af plant.

I am slightly sad that I couldn't justify buying the teapot that matches them, but I think they match the rest of my teaware very nicely anyway, and I like having a mix of stuff rather than a matching set.

I mean I did JUST get a whole bunch of tea, it's not like I exactly need more *right now*...

wait there's a gideon the ninth tea

the lil feathery one is so sweet! aaa I love it.

I saw a print of a thresher shark in a bookshop just yesterday and thought of you and Beloved! :D

I love this character design aaa she's so cute!!! Yet very fierce and knightly! I love!!!

Today it's: Raw Puerh! specifically this guy from the "a random bag of raw puerh balls" selection.

First steep/rinse was super fruity and sweet, second steep was like 20 seconds but still mega punchy, with the ripe-fruity taste I love so much about puerh. Good stuff good stuff.

Sampled the charcoal-roasted Tie Guan Yin yesterday, which is very nice, though I'm realising that regardless of quality. all charcoal-roasted tea has what I can only describe as a slight migraine aftertaste (I am pretty certain it's a me thing, not the tea's fault.)
