Memorial Device “Alternative National Treasure”. Let’s have a brew. I like ScandiNoir & The Vaccines. DuoLingo boasts. Enthusiastic novice at drawing. Workplace selfies for OOTD.
Or tapping it with acrylic nails
What’s this habit of wiggling stuff you make from side to side in videos? Hold the bloody thing still so folk can look at it

Libraries are free for you to use, serve the public good, are great, support creators financially and, I cannot be clear enough about this-- ARE FREE FOR YOU TO USE-- so pirating books makes you kind of an asshole, not some Marxist revolutionary.

If the book you want isn't there *request it.*

I'm going insane because people constantly recommend using AI for things and it is always, ALWAYS worse than repeatedly bashing my head on a brick.

It's like you have an actual problem & all anyone recommends is "have you tried talking to my cousin? He drinks bleach & doesn't wash his pants"

Don’t buy mass-produced Black Friday crap from online outlets owned by billionaires.

Buy lovely hand crafted things from wonderful, creative people instead.

DON AMOTT KING OF CARAVANS would play in the cinema in Quinton which we went to when I was little as Stourbridge’s Picture House closed down.
I remember going to the local cinema (The Futurist in Birmingham) and seeing adverts for a local restaurant just around the corner.

I was completely unprepared for how much of adult life involves putting stuff away. Did I miss some sixth form class?

Tomorrow is a month away from Xmas Eve. Please have a look to see if you have any children's clothes, books, toys, etc that are no longer needed & donate them to your local charity shop ASAP. The demand for these items is now, not after Xmas. People are skint but still want to make Xmas special. ❤️
