Went to the games fair (by accident) Usual even split between joyless Menial Job Simulators, Outrun clones but with itchy Sharpie-pen graphics and the I Don't Know What I'm Doing Here Either guys Look: if you have to use the phrase "or something" three times when trying to explain your own game,

Har brukt nesten hele dag i å rydde opp etter kloakkatastrofe. Er bare nå kommet inn fra hagen, der naboen stirret litt mens jeg skylte ut bøtter med gule gummihansker og plastforkle kvart på midnatt. Blir det festlig eller fælt hvis kjæresten sniker seg rundt for å ikke bli sett resten av uka?

Remembering Trans March a couple years ago where I almost dropped my skirt in the urinal of a port-o-potty. “IT IS TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING TO BE COVERED IN THE PISS OF STRANGERS,” I shrieked. One port-o-potty away, a pitch-perfect Gandalf replied “AND WHAT ABOUT THE PISS OF VERY OLD FRIENDS?”

Over the last couple months my preferred weekly language podcast has dropped first the grammar dive and then the vocab section, and now sounds like your vodka aunt left a 3am voice note just to say that she's fine, it's fine, hey everything's totally fine.

Neighbour's kids are having an end-of-school party out the back They have just discovered 60s soul. That is, they keep starting various Stax songs and deciding thirty seconds in that this one's not as good as Knock On Wood, so let's just hear that again. So far, seven times (I am fine with this)

I want to see a comic about the CIA trying to murder Clark Kent and making it look like an accident. Not because they know he's Superman but because he's a really good journalist. Make it a comedy because the CIA assassins can't figure out why their attempts keep failing.

I have just learned that although Finnish and Icelandic have almost nothing in common as languages, these four words mean and sound exactly the same in both: -Meistari (master) -Keisari (emperor) -Runkari (masturbator) -Súkkulaðirúsína (chocolate raisin)

Texts I send from my normal job:
Two messages. The first: It's 8pm and I'm sat in a freezing church listening to a band that just does folk songs about the moomins being queer

The second: The bass from the gay moomin folk band has just made a small child cry

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

An Amanita muscaria living in a fairytale scene along the stream behind our house 📷 Canon R5 Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM M, f/4, 1/8, ISO 400 Stack of 9 images 11/7/24 Northern Oregon Coast #mushroom #fungifriends #mushrooms 🍄📷 📸🎞 🌿🌱 🟢 🍄 🍄‍🟫
Bright sunlight highlights vibrant green moss, a small light brown mushroom, and the main subject, a large Amanita muscaria. Amanita muscaria is a tall mushroom with a long and thick roughly-textured white stipe and a bright red, dome-shaped cap. The cap is covered in raised white patches which just barely allow the bright red to show through between them.
