When my fibromyalgia allows, I'll be reviewing music on Skylight as @lookdadnewtunes.bsky.social.

I have plans to review old anime as #DouglasWatchesEveryAnime on YouTube: link to follow.

He's spent far too much time with notable otaku Kenny Omega for this to be a coincidence.

So _that's_ why "Subterranean Homesick Blues" was so important.

This is true.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Email their offices now just in case.

the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.

if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.

That's what they did with me after I left hospital. I spent the first year thinking the shots had to be in the arse. Don't be like me. 😁

Please! I tried to get one going when Rob Terry was in Manchester for TNA but I was wasting my time.

I'm hoping for a set of ten corner punches counted in Welsh, personally.

Only if you let it get really low like I did. As I've suggested elsewhere, the consultant who saw me literally said "we don't see cases like yours anymore".

Mmmmm I haven't had that proper curry burn for a long, long time. Presumably it's the tamarind? Patak's Tandoori curry paste, 10/10.

Good news: I've caught up with all my media backlogs!
Meh news: I can't watch any anime until I've had a long read of a book in a certain nearby university library so I'm stuck there.
Bad news: that means I have nothing to do or watch in short downtimes. Like this one.

People wearing cologne/body spray/perfume that is noticeable outside hugging distance are just as considerate and modest as people setting off fireworks in residential areas.

Holy shit! TK's gone and formed a proper women's main event scene! Ok, it's currently just three people - Storm, Statlander and Thekla - and I'd prefer Nightingale, Hayter and Deeb to be involved to round it out to the necessary imo six. But it's a start.

in clearing the house out my dad found what we'd spent years assuming was some spare wooden steering wheel for one of his classic car projects but turns out it's from a Vickers bomber from pre-WW2

I haven't heard anything but "sharp scratch" for years, and I get quarterly b12 shots so I don't die.

Happy International Lesbian Day to lesbians and non-lesbians everywhere!

(N.B. @haileypiperfights.bsky.social - observe that I got in on the ground floor with this one. In large part because, following previous Visibility Day oversights, I put it in my diary)
