!!!! Aaaaaa I’ve only just seen this but I’m so touched you‘re re-reading 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you!!

On top of the way it was used as an excuse for unjust wars, the way US culture has handled this really does an enormous disservice to what a paradigm shift it was for the entire world.

And I think we had a similar experience shortly after that with the 2004 tsunami--just absolute horror that this was happening *now* in a way nobody could do anything about. But now that we're constantly blasted with 24/7 news and social media, very little has the same impact.

glitz ✨ @glitterary.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Yeah, definitely. I don't think people who weren't at least teenagers at the time can really comprehend how we felt the world shift in real time. Nothing of that magnitude had ever been televised like that before. We'd seen footage of war and genocides, but only snapshots or after the fact.

glitz ✨ @glitterary.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Genuinely you were so fucking good in that. It's the episode I tell people to watch if they don't have time for the full series--the script and music and acting are SO on point from everyone the entire time.

But when you're used to jokes being either gallow's humour or the jokers being assholes, and haven't grown up with the over-sentimentalisation yourself, the casual everyone-mocks-this that's suddenly everywhere is really jarring.

...that Gen Z have grown up with 9/11 as a weaponised tool of nationalism, and it's really *that* that they're making fun of, not the event itself.

glitz ✨ @glitterary.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

My school took it *deathly* serious--I can't remember anyone cracking a joke about it, and since then all the jokes I've heard from my generation seemed very bad-taste and edgelordy (or sometimes a dark response to trauma). I think what's different is...

Aaaaaaaa I am STOKED for this 🤩🤩🤩

Thanks for the heads-up. I haven’t used Wireguard before—am I right in understanding I download that, then get the IVPN account and use those to make a tunnel?

Hey! It was lovely meeting you ☺️ I’ve only just seen this and need to go to bed but hopefully I’ll see you tomorrow or at some point this weekend and we can chat more!

glitz ✨ @glitterary.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

I’ve got one 😭 It doesn’t fit my window properly. I think I had better luck with bin bags last year, but it took me hours to set up both times. I’m seriously considering getting a board of mdf or drywall, cutting a hole for the pipe and fixing it over the whole window.

210

glitz ✨ @glitterary.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

I‘m lucky to have an air conditioner but the pipe gets so hot it’s almost like having a radiator on in the same room, and because the windows aren’t built for it it’s impossible to get the seal airtight. Even if we pay for cooling devices they don’t fit properly.

110

glitz ✨ @glitterary.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Ugh, it’s awful. This is the first year I’ve really felt in my body that this heat is *dangerous*—I think being younger and skinny helped me before, but now it viscerally feels like a threat.

030

glitz ✨ @glitterary.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Yeah, mine was too this morning. it hit 40°C here today and even with my aircon running for the past four hours I’ve only managed to bring the temperature (in one room) down 2°C—to 29°. It’s nearly 8pm and it’s still 35°C outside. My place is not getting any cooler tonight.

010

glitz ✨ @glitterary.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

It’s making me feel out of touch with reality. I’ve got as many windows open as possible, two fans going, and the thermometer hasn’t budged even slightly. All the things that normally would make it cooler just don’t work.

010

glitz ✨ @glitterary.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Maybe this is a bit of a late realisation but it’s stark how much better my aircon seemed to work two days ago because it wasn’t fighting as much heat just sitting in the walls.

060

glitz ✨ @glitterary.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

When people say European houses retain heat, I always thought of that as just the air inside—but it’s the building itself too. Even with my aircon running full blast today there was too much heat already in the brick to get it below 27° and it’s now 29° inside (26° out) with all the windows open.

When I am prime minister (my turn any day now) I will make it illegal for shops to attach all the bras in a multipack together so you can’t try them on without the others hanging off your back like an amorous triffid.

My MP has a crap record on trans rights, so the angle I took was (sigh) that this will disadvantage cis women as well and that it makes existing organisations doing good work vulnerable to malicious and expensive legal challenges. Happy to share my letter if anyone wants a copy.

My NI pal was telling me about the predicted riots last night and it sounds like she was exactly right about what would happen. Absolutely horrific.

Like FINE Saure Drachenzungen are okay but I don’t always want to feel like my tongue is dissolving in acid! And swapping out the Waldmeister flavour for apple is unconscionable. I’m freezing some Fredo’s Coole Lollies but my expectations are low. Don’t even get me started on REWE’s Polar Sticks.

Ironically the only ice lollies that aren’t complete ass are Bussy Pops, and I can’t find them anywhere this year 😭

I was listening to that the other day! It’s SO good (and also the theme tune for Deutschland ‘83 which is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen, if you’re up for some subtitles!)

Ooooh dead guy bread! I want to try it 👀

I already knew about bouldering but I think for other classes I always felt like I wasn’t very good and if I couldn’t hold the yoga pose I was basically wasting money and I was under pressure to pick the right class etc etc. Now I can just try stuff and see how it goes and? it goes good!

glitz ✨ @glitterary.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Signed up to urban sports club and have been doing bouldering and aerial classes and I feel like I’ve been let in on a secret. exercise?? can be fun??????? sounds extremely fake but early indications are very promising.

100%, but even aside from any health/recovery benefits, this sounds so worthwhile. Being stuck indoors for weeks or months on top of all the misery of being sick sounds like such a nightmare. Even without any physical ailments going out in the sun is such an enormous boost to my mental health.

I couldn’t tell from the story how it operates as a ward rather than just a garden, but this video shows it—there are connection points for things like oxygen and monitors concealed in the landscaping. So clever. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Can a rooftop garden help very ill patients heal faster?

Really loved this story—creating ways for long-term patients to get out of clinical-feeling wards and enjoy the outside is such a valuable and worthwhile thing to do, both to improve their overall quality of life and for recovery outcomes. www.bbc.com/news/article...
