iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Fucks sake . Just saw an ad for the new anti trans financiers bullshit. Can the world just fucking not. Trans people are the best of us. That bitter fucker and her shitty stories should be forgotten forever.

Long day, but I think I’m learning to meet my befriendee where he is. The learning curve is super curvy. Baby steps.

Befriending at 12, and as always I’m early, so I’m sat on the town hall square experiencing the many sights.

000

Not headgear related, but I just saw someone wearing a rather striking the nightmare before christmas poncho. It’s all go today.

In further Bolton headwear shenanigans, I’ve just seen a chap wearing a crown, which was definitely a choice.

Bolton is pretty backwards, but come the fuck on.

Just saw some absolute throbber walking through town wearing a maga hat. Words fail me.

The Fulham United game just took a turn for the hilarious.

Home from dad wrangling and pints. He seems a little befuddled by me making him get shit done, but sorry old man, I’ve Been Activated.

Particularly enjoyed today’s strands.

Watching a doc about little Timmy Waxy Lemon, and I’m just about in the right state of volcanic rage to deal with my dad tomorrow.

Gibbon @gibbonarms.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Good day. Got good feedback from my befriending. Also arranged to meet my dad tomorrow, and I’m going to kick his arse. The old fool doesn’t do enough to look after himself, and refuses to listen to anyone - he’s going to listen to me, I’ve Been Activated.

Gibbon @gibbonarms.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Holy shit. My dad’s gone rapidly downhill. Everyone’s worried, but we’re all unsure how to proceed. Fuck my actual life my existence is a shit channel five drama.

Good to have something to focus my attention on, worrying about my dad is just giving me a permanent headache.

Gibbon @gibbonarms.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

First befriending visit earlier on. I think it went well, my befriendee was chatty and seemed comfortable. Should get some feedback from my coordinator later in the week. Good start.

I’m 51, I should know by now not to engage with social media after a few pints. I should also know not to try and process massive life changing things. Here we are though. I got off the bus and cried all the way home.

He was talking to a couple he knows, then he headed for the door, I was following then the woman grabbed me and asked if he was okay. Her words - “Is it dementia?”

Gibbon @gibbonarms.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Been out for a pint with my dad this afternoon. Think I’m going to have to stop burying my head in the sand. He isn’t right. Fuck.

Gibbon @gibbonarms.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Really enjoyed yesterday’s day out, so I think I might start taking myself on the odd day trip. Not all the time, I haven’t turned into one of them gallivanting types, just every now and then.

This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read/ listened to. I was in TK Maxx just after I first heard it, and the song started playing on someone’s phone. Immediate hysterics.

Anyone who has ever complained about London Underground, complain no more.

Got lots of cool pictures in the Sealife Centre.

Piranhas in a tank. Didn’t get too close, the bastards will have your arm off.

A green sea turtle about the size of a caravan lazily swimming about. There’s a black tip shark in the background. Vicious looking thing.

A lionfish, aka the spiny fish of death.

Forgot about the key ring I won on the 2p machines in Blackpool yesterday. It looks haunted.

A small orange creature on a key ring. It was described to me as a knock-off labubu, but I don’t know what that means. It’s horrid, and looks incredibly angry.

It’s Blackpool, so fish and chips are compulsory.

000

Weird arse cartoon face fish.

000

Coach was stuck behind a crash on the motorway, so we’re an hour and half late, but we’re on the move.

000

M’OFF TO BLACKPOOL MOTHER FLIPPERS!

000

I’d like a show of hands from whoever takes compliments well, and I’d also like those deviants segregated from the rest of us normally broken souls.

000

My first day of befriending didn’t happen. No harm, no foul. We’ll try again next week.

000

IT JUST CAME BACK! I’m 6’1”, and that bastard has longer (and hairier) legs than me. It’s dodged a slippering so far. Slightly concerned it will catch them and throw them back. I may need to move…

000

I know that the spiders who are coming indoors right now aren’t trying to upset me in particular, but the one the size of a dinner plate that just zoomed past me can very specifically fuck off.

000

2-1 up? Lowly Bolton being 2-1 up? Against West Ham? IN THIS ECONOMY??
