Another rejection from a literary agent. Oh well. Three more rejections to go then I move on to list 2.

Anyone good at making mash ups of two songs?

Taking a break while cooking dinner.

Apartment 7A. If you’ve seen Rosemarys Baby you don’t need to see this “prequel”. It’s well made but the exact same fucking film but the evening doesn’t match the original which is really fucking annoying.

I need to stop weighing myself. I’ve been going to the gym a lot recently and I’m still heavy, yet, tonight I’m wearing a pair of shorts I’ve never been able to get into. I bought them as they’re a brand a love and the store was closing so they were cheap.

Coffee and blackcurrant strepsils are not a marriage made in heaven.

Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!

First book rejection. Four more to come.

And we're off! I'll be using our usual hashtag for trips if you want to avoid a gazillion probably boring updates. #RABOT (Rob And Brad On Tour, or maybe Rob And Brad Oran Tour this time!) #RVKBEAR

Three men in a car. We're all in black tops, Rob and Oran have caps on. Maybe I should have worn a cap...

A photo of the car stereo playing "Mum's Gone To Iceland" by Bennet. You can also see the cute little bear pilot air freshener with the propeller that spins when the air con is turned on.

We’re watching Soulm8te (stupid name!). I was told it’s boring. So far they were right. Also, I already worked out at least two deaths.

Looks like it’s been decided I’ve had enough sleep.

I was walking round Athenry early and spotted a swastika graffitied onto an electric box. A fucking swastika! I’m going back tomorrow to try and clean it off. Assholes.

Okay, we’re watching Popeyes Revenge now. Eva Ray! OMFG! Hilarious.

We’re watching Power Ballad. It’s been a while since I’ve watched this level of shit. Even Water Park Shark was better! And less predictable.

Literary agents say it’ll be 6-9 weeks before I get a reply. WHY HAVE THEY NOT REPLIED YET! (I sent the project yesterday!)

Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Well, we just watched the new Pinocchio. It was better than Bambi but only just.

I've written a book. Non-fiction. 80k words. About mom passing away and finding out I have a sister. It's been an emotional rollercoaster. I'm about to send it to some literary agents. The idea of this wrecks my head. I'm sat looking at the emails but can't send them. I need to take a pause.

Happy birthday to my baby boy, Timber! He’s 1 today!

The 1987 Master of the Universe was better than this 2026 utter trash.

So there I was, down and out, living a life of crime. Petty theft. I'd break into cars for glovebox change or food on the back seat. Desperate times. (1/6)

Some random asshole is on Scruff having a go at me because I wasn't "welcoming" at Galway Pride. This is a guy who stood by me without speaking for all of two seconds, then walked off. He also cruised my husband in s train station toilet by inviting him into a cubicle. Classy.

I’m sat in the garden of the hotel and there’s an American couple with a baby, about 18months. Baby comes up to the woman and says “mama!” Woman’s says “No honey, mama is a whore so nanna is here with daddy instead!”

Disclosure Day is sooooooo boring.

Here’s a fun guessing game for you. How much, in euro, is in this bottle.

Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

I get my new hearing aids today! So excited!

Grease 2 is one of the worst films of all time. This is a hill I will die on!

Ugh. I have a head cold and in a few hours have to drive to Dublin to present at Pitch Please as Mr. Bear Ireland. Funsies.

Yesterday I was giving out about my ridiculous brain, the kind that lets me walk into the kitchen and immediately forget why I’m there, but can also produce, on demand, a crystal-clear memory from 47 years ago, complete with lighting, soundtrack, and emotional subtext. (1/5)

@redinstead.absurdnotion.com I just showed Casper your profile pic. He nodded, grinned and said “yes.” He’s been in the bathroom 20 minutes now and there’s a strange grunting coming from there.

When I was five, my parents had this enormous carved wooden picture of a Viking longboat on the wall. As we were getting ready to move house, it was taken down and propped against the sofa. (1/5)
