A regrettably shortened weekend at @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social (note to self: either learn to mudsurf or buy wellies for 2028!) but a beautiful one nonetheless. Let It All Go the theme — so we let go of rigid schedules, clean footwear, and FOMO. Wouldn’t have been anywhere else with my pals.

Markus looking into the sunlight. There’s a coffee in front of him.

Some tents, and the sun hiding behind clouds as it sets. There’s this cute pastel multicoloured tipi tent in the middle distance.

Turned 31. Got some fantastic gifts. Ate steak frites and saw the Anthony Bourdain movie with my husband. Did a little potluck picnic with some friends. My heart is as full as my belly.

The whiteboard in our kitchen reads "HAPPY BDAY AVERY!" in my husband's handwriting with a bunch of hearts around it.

Markus' gifts to me: Rhythm Paradise Groove (Rhythm Heaven Groove) and a Lord of Misrule Lush gift set.

Markus is grinning while he holds a steak knife. He looks adorable. He's wearing a green shirt, glasses and a grey graphic t-shirt.

My friends Charlie, Oli and Cory sat on picnic blankets, surrounded by food they and we have brought. You can see Markus and I's knees. There's a big park and some tall buildings in the background.

Escaped the neighbours from hell. Found a plum tree in my new house. Had some great friends help us move everything as smoothly as possible. Went to a rooftop and saw the eclipse with my pals. An insane 48 hours. Mad to feel loved and supported and encouraged to grow.

I have my nighttime Home Screen set to show me my favourites album and it’s like 90% pictures of Markus and then occasionally it’s just this picture, which is an accurate summary of how I’ve been for the last week or so

Avery’s nighttime Home Screen. It’s a gentle cloud in a night sky with some clear, colourless icons for Headspace, BBC Sounds, Monzo and Pocket Casts, along with my docked apps. On top of those, there’s a picture of Pingu sat in front of some good looking depressed

A conversation between my husband and I. He says: "I want to see him" and attaches a screenshot of the time for the Ivory Coast-Norway game. I say: "...the Ivory Coast against Norway?" "Why?" "oh my god" "Erling Haaland" and Markus says "haaland" "I want to see the beast"

The way most of these image tools feel like a solution in search of a problem was summed up well with a friend

texts from a friend: "I kinda like the idea of being able to change the focal length like this but also. skill issue" "simply take better photos of your children"

I keep seeing this stupid cartoon (its good intentions entirely cancelled out by it being made for The Guardian) on my feed and thinking about just how incessant the paper's transphobic line is, to the point where it showed up in things like a review (since edited) of a season of Sex Education

From the first version of the Guardian's review of Sex Education S4: "There is gender identity representation via Abbi and Roman, with the latter seemingly there solely to offer Cal (Dua Saleh) the sight of someone further down the road to transition and fill in viewers on the length of waiting lists and the costs of private surgery. If Sex Education were staying true to its early, far more radical roots, it might have questioned the idea of surgery on healthy bodies as a cure for anything, but although it hints later at the potential downsides of relentless positivity, here the rule remains absolute affirmation only."

Going from "Laptop that gets about three hours of my typical usage on a charge" to "Laptop that sees its charger once every two to four days" is insane to me. These screenshots are from my Neo at 9% battery

Good few days in Brussels! Lots of fun things to Look At

Going through Fry Customs at the Fry Museum.

Tintin, Snowy, and two other Tintin characters (I think one is Captain Haddock, I’m not super au fait with Tintin, they just look cool as fuck) in space suits at the Belgian Centre for Comics. Did you know Tintin was the first man on the moon? Look it up!

A colourful comic (using red green and white) portraying a party scene. It’s three panels and its final panel is the protagonist shouting “ik ben de motherfucker!”, which I probably don’t need to translate from Dutch.

Magritte’s “La Bonne fortune” at the Magritte museum, inside the Royal Belgium Museum of Fine Art.

My husband(!!!) and I, with our two witnesses, outside Leicester Town Hall. I’m wearing a floral jumpsuit and a black turtleneck, my husband is wearing a grey jacket, yellow jumper, red shirt, bolo tie with opalite, and black corduroy trousers. My witness is wearing a blue suit, and my husband’s witness (my mother in law) is wearing a white cardigan and checkered skirt.

The same people in the same positions, but we’re all laughing. My husband and I are post-kids and laughing

Found this for £20 today and while I def thought the guy in the shop was right when he said I was getting a great deal, I looked up how much the remote for this thing was going on eBay and it was almost half the cost of the *entire system*

This is such a damning quote lmao. Like I had a great time with K-Pop Demon Hunters but none of Netflix’s stuff can beat some of the stuff in Warner’s library

"Our mission has always been to entertain the world," said Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix. "By combining Warner Bros.' incredible library of shows and movies — from timeless classics like Casablanca
and Citizen Kane to modern favorites like
Harry Potter and Friends — with our culture-defining titles like Stranger Things, KPop Demon Hunters and Squid Game, we'll be able to do that even better."
