Hey #VisionExpress, you're part of the problem. No I don't want to trial Metas pervert glasses & now I don't want to use you for my eye tests at all.

The online booking system for Vision Express, the choices are to book an Advanced eye test or an eye test with AI glasses demo.

19mm of rain over ~5hrs, the first for months. I doubt very much of that ended up in drains yet it went straight into overspill, into the sea & not to be treated like what we pay for it to be What hope is there #SouthernWater @ofwat.bsky.social Map here: riversandseaswatch.southernwater.co.uk

Has it though, Google? Has it? Poke gemini back in its hole & let me edit my pics by myself, all I need is crop & a blur tool & I'm happy. I don't want to prompt my phone to make videos, I just want to not rinse my battery 😭

Anyone here still on Instagram? Your account maaaaay not have this setting (think it's on pro only, maybe?) but go to your settings -> sharing & reuse and scroll down, if you find a section "allow people to use your content with AI features" turn that shit off. #FuckAI

Dick Strawbridge Sparrow helps all the other birds when their nests spring a leak & need fixing up

This file is named "dick in door", that's genuinely is what the image shows, except, thankfully, it is a man named Dick Strawbridge (jolly man, very large moustache) standing in a doorway (outside, looks like a shed or outbuilding). Phew.

Had heard nothing about The Boroughs on Netflix, but given the cast (and my soft spot for Denis O'Hare) we gave it a watch on a whim. Well worth it, it's a bit "stranger things in a retirement village" but it's a decent story, wrapped up in 8eps & hopefully a 2nd season.

If you wake up to a Reform Council this morning, and you have capacity to do so, I suggest you take a trip around your ward and note every minor little thing. Take it straight to the office and say "This needs doing urgently. Give it a week, do the same. Eventually they'll shit the bed and resign.

Tried again, much better results, both the same size too, huzzah (using sensible wool helped). I started making these watching "Who framed Roger Rabbit" this afternoon. It was a Saturday well spent #crochet

2 fingerless gloves, one has a hand glamorously modelling it (I kid, my hands are anything but). They are mustard yellow and a grey/blue stripe

Glove has friend! Somehow taller & thinner, but 🤷🏼‍♀️ fits slightly better so silver linings

Fay @leafyfififoo.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

Holy cow. I have a glove. Tomorrow though is "remember what you did before" day when its friend is attempted. It's damn warm too, which already means it fulfils it's raison d'etre. Result! #crochet #crochetsky

A fingerless glove! Teal with lilac stripes. Very amateur but it's a thing

Hand bit in progress, not done Tunisian style crochet before but - aside from unweildy hooks - it's pretty straightforward

Operation: make gloves is a go! One cuff done. Will I be able to make a 2nd one to match it later? Chances unlikely!

Tonight's experiment in "I can totally make this after watching just a single YT tutorial" is gloves. I'm not putting the heating on yet & my hands are numb using the computer all day. Fingerless gloves/wristwarmers ahoy! Will I get bored? (yes). Will they look crap? (yes). Let's find out!

Why do you keep referring to this as Saturday night, it's super confusing? 00:50 falls on Sunday, even your own schedule agrees

What if I told you there was more than 1 discover feed... You can remove them from your view but you can't stop yourself appearing on them because big algorithm demands it. I've got a "popular with friends" feed pinned instead, it's similar but slightly more curated at least

This is GENIUS, according to this BBC map, they're gonna build a new data centre right in the Solent! No need to pipe in precious water, it's gonna be IN the water instead. Will it double up as a bridge too?! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Data centres to be expanded across UK as concerns mount

Oh Spotify really? It goes "This ain't a city, it's a god damn arse face" then "I'm a little man, and I'm also evil, also into cats, also into caaaaaaaaaaattts". Everyone knows that.

As a former retail worker, one of the first things we're told is not to do this. Then we are told of situations where staff members have chased shoplifters & been beaten up as soon as they get out the door, the company just going "*shrug* we told you not to, enjoy claiming your sick pay, hurry back"
