I know, let’s all do a fun little Myers-Briggs test, we might learn something meaningful about ourselves and each other
Graphic explaining The Kidnap Message Game: “You’ve been kidnapped. The kidnappers allow you to post on social media to pretend everything is all right. What would you post to alarm you friends, without alerting the kidnappers that you are calling for help.”

You are but a tiny baby. To me
A row of BBC model B microcomputers with big cubic CRT monitors on a long desk in a school You’ll have to imagine the odd texture of the hard plastic keys and the clunk clunk clunka clunk of a class of 13-year-olds typing in 10 PRINT “I AM SKILL” 20 GOTO 10

@dochackenbush.bsky.social thought you’d like to see my friend looking resplendent in his 50th birthday present today
A cool dude wearing a hoodie with a cute cartoon capybara shooting a 50s style ray gun on it. The caption should read “Zappybara” except it’s reversed and says Arabyppaz instead. Pew! Pew!

Drop your horror crush
Susan Sarandon looking luminous in The Hunger (1983). To be blunt David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve would work just as well

Made the boys a Slap-Up Feast, Beano-style
A mountain of mashed potatoes in a bowl, with 8 sausages sticking out of it at various jaunty angles. Not pictured: The Bash Street Kids with napkins tied round their necks, clutching their cutlery and drooling

I have a type, ok!!
An excerpt from my Spotify Wrapped. Every single song on my top 5 list is from Music for 18 Musicians by Steve Reich. I just think it’s neat.

Baby swifts!!
A nest made of mud and twigs, high in the beams of an outdoor shelter. Three baby swifts are just visible over the rim. The first is yelling its heart out, the second is lolling like a an abandoned muppet. The third is leaning against the side like Jason Mendoza in his Bud Hole. Oh wooden beam, we’re really in it now…

Ok Bluesky, you’ve been good, you can see my Halloween costume
A person in a bloodstained lab coat is holding what appears to be a severed head by the hair, about to inject it with a mysterious green liquid. The person doesn’t have enough hair to be a convincing Herbert West, reagent-filled syringe notwithstanding

May I humbly submit:
Louise Brooks, silent film actress, looking smoking hot in a black and white photo, with her trademark black bob with a sharp fringe, and kohl-rimmed eyes looking soulfully to one side

Swallow bébés!
A nest tucked into the beams of an outbuilding. Three little beaky mouths are visible, one gaping wide, one drooping against the wood, the other lolling disconsolately over the edge. You won’t get fed that way little one, you need to make a mini-maw like your sibling

You called?
Captain Christopher Pike from Star Trek Strange New Worlds in civilian clothes, wearing an apron and raising a nice glass of red. His lopsided smile makes you feel safe and cared for
