This very much reflects the coverage I've seen.

On Thursday a remarkable woman won a by-election. On Friday a remarkable woman won the Nobel Peace Prize. The coverage has overwhelming been focused on the men who lost. It's 2026. Yet still.

Ah man, that is really sad. Thanks for the extra information, I've found the reporting I've seen a bit opaque.

Haha, that's a very good point!

Thank you for the gift link, will definitely read later. Just catching up on What To Carry as I do my weekend chores. Thank you for continuing to tell this stories of amazing people.

This story is so confusing to me. Was the man just a bit stupid? Or had reduced mental capacity? Or was it deliberate self harm? None of it makes sense on why you'd go in with a tiger.

Haha. Moose are the same. My friend lives in Canada and when he told me about moose I said, oh so they're like a big deer? No. They are absolutely massive. If you hit one in a truck, the truck comes off worse. Madness.

I'm also always confused about adult wombat size & I think it's because i follow a wombat rescue on IG that mostly posts baby wombats, which are the size you'd expect baby wombats to be, but the adults are much bigger than I expect them to be. It's very confusing! www.instagram.com/wombat_rescu...

I overpaid by £11 then 😂 good to know they're available though.

I don't think I'm able to unfortunately. Off to Paris in January though, so that will be a cold and depressing night 😂

Premier sports wouldn't work on my phone and I was in Sainsbury's, so I missed the first 30 mins annoyingly. Not inclined to go back and watch it!

Just as well given Cardiff don't understand the concept of defence.

Anna @annasels.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
You also said nice things about Cardiff on the pod this week. Are you feeling ok? Do we need to stage an intervention?

Anna @annasels.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Cardiff's defence is just absolutely dire and we're going to get battered in every Champion's Cup game this season. #LEIvCAR

That Zebre v Edinburgh game is genuinely unwatchable with the constant background noise of the drumming. It's how my brain feels when I have a migraine attack. I don't need it on the days I don't have one! #ZEBvEDIA

After trying about 20 codes COMEBACK110 discount code gets Premier Sports on Sky down to £110 for the year, which is a bit less painful

Anna @annasels.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Since when has Premier Sports been £150 a year?! 150 quid to watch Cardiff getting battered every week, what a bargain.

It is definitely autumn. The cat suddenly wants to sleep on the bed to benefit from body warmth. And of course I let him because I have no boundaries.

On the next page they explicitly asked about aesthetic treatments. I understand they have to make money, but this is an NHS appointment, something loads of people can't even access locally. Just make sure my sure my teeth aren't falling out!

Anna @annasels.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Can someone explain to me why my NHS dentist is asking how I feel about my skin and wrinkles on my face? Do your teeth impact your skin? Or is this them trying to sell private aesthetics services?
Two questions that say:
1. I am concerned about the appearance of wrinkles on my face
2. I would like younger looking skin

First my knee. Then my knee and ankle. Now my knee, ankle, and quad. Considering just asking for my leg to be chopped off at this point. This is after historic injuries of multiple ankle ligament tears, almost fully rupturing my calf, and breaking my knee. hEDS really is a joy 🫠

The new Twin Atlantic album is so good and sounds amazing. So proud of my pal who did all the mixing and mastering. One of the things that gives me the most joy in life is seeing my friends do brilliant things in their lives.

I also remember Arctic Monkeys being bad at that festival, so it was very much the crowd.

I was groped more times at Prodigy in Brixton in 2012 than I have at any gig before or since. It was not a safe for women. It absolutely wasn't the normal Deftones vibes, it was very drunk people not caring about anyone else in the pit with a lot of cigarettes being waved around and burning people

Anna @annasels.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I saw them support Prodigy and Pendulum in Milton Keynes Bowl in 2010. They were amazing and the crowd was violent! I think only Deftones (of all bands) at Rock en Seine was worse. But that was the French crowd not Deftones.

Nothing like waking up at 5.57am in a total panic that you haven't packed and are going to miss your flight that leaves in less than 2 hours only to realise that it was a dream and that you don't have a flight to catch.

The word "flee" is also really loaded. People flee conflict zones or people who try to murder them. You don't flee a charge of £12.50 a day if your car isn't compliant or a route that's slightly longer so children don't die of lung issues.

As a half christian, half Jewish, full atheist, some of the songs I learnt in my Church of Wales primary school were bangers! Big fan of Autumn Days and Give Me Oil In My Lamp. More seriously, what my dad and uncle went through as Jewish boys in school was basically what SB suggests and was awful.

I think, from the fact he says university rather than college, he's not American, so misunderstood the US post he was replying to. So (being generous) I think he probably doesn't realise how US colleges work, with having to take random classes in subjects outside of your major.

The amount of books I buy from either the authors or someone else mentioning it on here, even when not on sale, is pretty high. I always feel overwhelmed with choice for books, so I love seeing posts like this and having the choice removed, it's just a book I think I'll like and I'll buy it now!

Not saying I have the ability to curse myself, but last Saturday I said to a friend I was surprised I'd not had a migraine attack after so many flights/travel, and then had one that night. And Friday I said to a colleague I'd not had a cold in ages and today I wake up all congested and shivery.
