Mentally I'm a mid twenties human in a forty-something body.
Parent to two wonderful kids, and husband to an amazing woman.
Mainly banging on about good music, books, games and sharing photos on here.

Just finished the first of the @chuckwendig.bsky.social Star Wars Trilogy "Aftermath" - never really read much Star Wars stuff in print but this is a lot of fun. Important messages tucked away in there too!

Reacquired a book I'd lent out and opened it randomly to a page yesterday...
I'd already contemplated booking today off at short notice but this sealed the deal!

Good morning at work including some lovely words from a visitor about what they saw - time for a celebratory biscuit brew and a Tunnocks tea cake I think! @yorkshiretea.bsky.social

6am in the UK, and #earlyrisersbookclub choice is @chuckwendig.bsky.social's Star Wars Trilogy which I found second hand a while back.
Appropriate stuff given the current state of the world...
Pro tip: fascism bad!

Oof. This line hits hard, given how many kids are being parented by screens now.
"The kids got more attached to the robots than their human parents. The answer to it was for parents to do the actual parenting, but I guess convenience won out for a lot of them."
Not many steps away I suspect...

Been reading @ldlapinski.bsky.social's "Some Body Like Me" while camping the last few days and properly hooked already.
#earlyrisersbookclub hits different in a tent with virtually no distractions, and I've felt like I've really switched off from the outside world.
