Had to take my contacts out early because it felt like there was an eyelash stuck under one of them. There was no eyelash. Trolled by my own eyeball.

It's a complete mystery why, "woman helps heal the evil guy/the evil guy is still evil but will kill any man who harms the woman" are SUCH popular fantasies for lots of real women. Definitely nothing going on here in reality that would inform, "what if I were his FAVOURITE?" in fiction. Nope 🙃

It’s always, “stupid women and their lady brains getting off to power fantasies that centre her pleasure,” and never, “why IS society structured in a way that cis men can sexually assault or kill, yet the majority of people will always ask what SHE did to invite being sexually assaulted or killed?”

Sigh. Had to do a ‘training’ session on Co-pilot and my manager did NOT like me asking, “why can’t I brainstorm and research this myself considering the answers were exactly what I’d say?” when she made me do an example prompt.

This is what I think is wrong with streaming! It makes it harder to find new stuff that you haven't heard before because it just plays stuff that's kind of what you already like. Spotify actually used to be quite good at "well if you like <that guy> you might like <this guy>" but that seems not to

I know the trope-ification of books is annoying, but any time I get wind of people claiming, “lol how can M/F be forbidden love” I think of my old manager who was Catholic and he married a Protestant lady in the 80s (not that long ago) and people on both sides of the family refused to speak to them.

Imagine thinking this man wasn’t born to play an Elf. Couldn’t be me. Even his interview answers sound like something only an Elf could come out with.

I had dreams of eventually going back to the states and getting to ride this again... at least I got to ride it once. Closing it permanently seems like the right thing to do tbh. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

My friend just reminded me about this... I think Muse were already talking about this band, but then I saw the video for this single one night, probably on MTV2 lol. Anyway, that album is basically responsible for us becoming proper friends. And it's 25 years old now! youtu.be/KoDIdTzl8po?...

This also worked with films. I could not tell you the amount of fave films I have because I was borderline insomniac for most of my mid-late teens and was watching whatever Sky Movies had on in the middle of the night.

I don't WANT personalised music that wasn't even made by a human being. I want to hear a random song on MTV2 when I'm channel hopping at 1am and become obsessed enough to buy the album, which I then sit listening to on repeat thinking, "this is so me."

The thing that shines through is always ALWAYS humanity and personality and a moment and a vibe, and these aren't things that can rely on artifice because they're not truly tangible.

I honestly think the people who make or defend AI music don't actually like music. And I don't mean that as an attack, I don't really care if that's what you're into, but music is, at least to me, so fundamentally human that I don't know what you're getting from it.

A guy was recently speaking to me really passionately about music and then let me hear this new artist, and it sounded like shit but I didn't want to say. Then he proudly explained it was an AI song and didn't it sound so real. And I was like... I dunno, man. Naw. Not at all.

Imo, the ‘reward’ is you put shitty men in their place by seeing women as people, and we won’t pat you on the head or throw you a parade, but we’ll probably quietly consider you safer to hang out with.

Probably one of my favourite parts of first the book and it almost seems a shame the adaptation cut it considering the director’s horror background 🥲

lol someone posted the Madame Tussauds sketch in the tumblr tags and kinda want to reblog, but it'll potentially offend my Hiddles mutuals (for some reason, they decided he needed to catch strays in that sketch 😆)

I am absolutely fine if people want to only read fluff where their couple of choice is always endgame. I do think you're limiting yourself (similarly if you only read fic in general and no books.) But where I started to get pissed off is when readers act like any kind of sad ending is an affront...

Obviously I do feel like young people have disproportionately taken the pain over the last decade plus, but I can't help feel that scrapping the triple lock is one of those things that sounds amazing on paper, but will ultimately fuck over my generation (again) and the ones below me down the tracks.

Cath M 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💍 @catherloki.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Sometimes the temptation to just delete everything is related to the fact that you log in every day and see how much (mainly) cis men hate women. Hate us for being sexually unavailable, hate for being sexually available, hate for not being mums, hate for being mums, hate for being young or old...

That last repost: I know I am guilty of being a bit lax sometimes when I'm complaining about men. Because I do mean cis men and cis male culture. And I know I have at least a couple of trans guys following me so... I can always do better.

horrific sexual assault cases in the news always lead to a round of feminist posts that undercut their own insights by not adding "cis" before "men" & "male culture."

Those last couple of reposts… See also: men who think a woman couldn’t possibly be telling a joke and so reply to an obvious joke by scolding her and/or explaining her joke back to her, but their rephrasing makes the joke shit.

a generous reading would be they want to be helpful, but you just have to see the increasing number of women with replies off or who are vocal about it, to know that it isn't really that. It's a strange mindset to think this woman has got to [age] without having discovered the most basic of things.

I hope someone is studying replies on Bluesky. Particularly where people reply to you like you just stumbled upon the internet, or indeed, life, yesterday. Genuinely don't know what the compulsion to explain very basic stuff is but I bet the numbers are heavily weighted to men in replies of women.

They had to thirsttrap George in basically every other sketch he was in last night, because making him look like Lex Luthor (when he played Infantino in the Babybel sketch) was so off-putting #SNLUK
