Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Listen to me baby if you wanna go with me, nights still young and were not doing it low key. 000
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Beautiful morning in Galway. [For ‘beautiful’ read ‘wet, dark and a bit windy!’] 040
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Foreword. Introduction, 14 chapters, six appendices, a reference list and an afterword. 144,747 words. I’m only at chapter six of the edit process. This will be published in 2030! 000
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Another rejection from a literary agent. Oh well. Three more rejections to go then I move on to list 2. 001
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Apartment 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. 000
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I 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. 230

Reposted by BearSide B @sideb.chez.gay · 03/09/2026And 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 3371

Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Kiss my cunt, this is one of the worst things I’ve seen! And I’m sure I’ve seen the lead actor in porn. 000
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 02/09/2026That’s it. Add a drag queen. That’ll make us like it. (It hasn’t!) 200
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 02/09/2026It’s like Megan meets Bicentennial Man! But they took all the bads parts of those films to make this one. And then made it worse. 100
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 02/09/2026We’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. 100
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Before you, My whole life was acapella Now a symphony's The only song to sing @sideb.chez.gay 010
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I 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. 010
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I love our induction hob, I just can’t cook for shit. And I hate the controls. But that’s just me. Can’t cook and can’t work the controls. But I love our induction hob. 010
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Okay, we’re watching Popeyes Revenge now. Eva Ray! OMFG! Hilarious. 000
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 29/08/2026We’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. 010
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Literary agents say it’ll be 6-9 weeks before I get a reply. WHY HAVE THEY NOT REPLIED YET! (I sent the project yesterday!) 110
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 29/08/2026There were too many bad things about it for me to enjoy it. But, you know, I should probably realise I’m not 10 any more. 010
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Well, we just watched the new Pinocchio. It was better than Bambi but only just. 000
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I'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. 010
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Both of them snoring. I will never get any fucking sleep! 000
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 22/08/2026The 1987 Master of the Universe was better than this 2026 utter trash. 100
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 21/08/2026That was our first date, 24 years ago today. Now he's my husband, no longer a copper, and I'm no longer a criminal. Just domesticity, and the occasional handcuff Tuesday. Happy anniversary, @sideb.chez.gay . You arrested me and never let me go. (6/6) 010
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 21/08/2026He gave me food, a hot drink and the use of his shower. I was so grateful I offered to show him exactly how grateful. He said eat first, then we'll see. I ate. We saw. Several times. The truncheon was never needed. The cuffs, however, were used again. And again. (5/6) 100
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Clamped the cuffs on, nice & tight (good boy!), and took me in. Walking to the cop shop I told him my story. We both got emotional. Hugged me and said he could make this better. £20 and his address, an hour later. Cuffs stayed on. Didn't complain. I've never been one to waste a good restraint. (4/6) 100
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. 'What do we have here then?' came a booming voice. I turned to find a 6ft4 policeman, truncheon in hand, twirling his handcuffs. My heart sank. Something else (wink), however, sat up and took notice. I've always had good instincts. (3/6) 100
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 21/08/2026One night I found a Mercedes parked by the bench I was sleeping on. Rolls of banknotes on the dash, the back seat full of food. The lock gave, open. I started helping myself, tucking sandwiches into my coat, counting the notes. (2/6) 100
Bear @bearbares.bsky.social · 21/08/2026So 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) 110
