Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 18/08/2025Thoughts and prayers to the journalists having to read 100 press releases today with 'skibidi' awkwardly shoved in by someone who made their Gen Alpha son use it in a sentence this morning. 010
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 04/07/2025Found this incredibly 90s artifact in my parents' house - a tape of Ash's 1977 a bit stuck to a mix of Levellers songs. The nostalgia is so high I swear the cases smell of incense and cord flares. 070
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Yes absolutely that's the crime we should be worried about. Real harm being done by *checks notes* people calling out genocide. 120
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 18/05/2025I've slept on it and still strongly feel that Iceland were done real dirty. Loved those wee shiny guys. Also whoever it was voted for Israel needs a real word with themselves, FFS. 010
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 16/04/2025This is one of my favourite podcasts...two very funny silly people who clearly love films to absolute nerd levels. Lovely stuff. 120
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Just got a spam email which used the name of someone who died years ago and I did not like that one tiny bit. 110
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 11/04/2025The year is 2035. China announces tariffs of 3,000,000% on US goods. President Trump rises from the cryogenic throne which keeps him frozen to announce he will kill the moon. Musk announces his 49th child's mother is Mars. Everyone remains very tired. 020
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 10/04/2025New music from Garbage AND Pulp? I'm so happy that 15 year old me got the job of Head of All Music that she always wanted ☺️ 020
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 08/04/2025I've been thinking a lot in recent months about what I'd like to do next in life to make myself happy and, after hosting a couple of events for the first time in ages, have discovered the answer is 'be applauded at constantly'. Don't mind if it's just out of politeness. Just need them claps. 010
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 29/03/2025Free ice cream outside the Usher Hall alert (thanks Ed International Festival!) 130

Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 11/01/2025I'm stuck getting over flu, so child is with his Dad and helpfully sent this important survey over to cheer me up. I'm nervous I voted wrong but there was very little analysis available 020
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 31/12/2024Whether your new year vibes is party pints or listening to Phoebe Bridgers and crying, have a lovely old time. Xxx 020
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 24/12/2024This is a beautiful and useful thread from @felicityhannah.bsky.social about a tricky, sad subject. 010
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 24/12/2024I love this time of year when I wonder if I should make doing jigsaws my career. 330
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 23/12/2024I was thinking about the most fun songs from my teen years that I thought child would enjoy. KITTY! I thought. By PRESIDENTS OF USA! A charming funny song with miaows in it that you can join in with! I may have absolutely forgotten that there's a whole bit which just goes FUCK YOU KITTY. 271
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 22/12/2024This is Tracey the Horse. She lives on the York carousel and we've visited her every year since Thane was two and decided Tracey was the most lovely name he'd ever heard. (He would later go on to keep naming things Brenda, which he also thought was very pretty) 020
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Forgot that I'd told the child my *hilarious* joke about All I Want for Christmas is You, until it came on yesterday and he piped up 'I can't believe she wants to keep someone prisoner in her house' and I had to check who else he'd said that to. Good chat about not giving people as presents, mind. 150
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 14/12/2024*glances up as I crawl forward, fingers digging into the frozen ground, a string of thin tinsel around my neck. We make eye contact, nod at each other and then crawl on as someone plays 'In the Bleak Midwinter' on a kazoo* 021

Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Edinburgh folk, don't think this is quite up and running like Twitter was for useful immediate info, but all buses are cancelled, pass it on 23631
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Opened the curtains, saw snow, yelled at child to put on cartoons, made 1,000 litres of porridge, yelled at child to grab blankets, made bit of extra porridge just in case, dived under blankets, day sorted. 250
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 22/11/2024So here's the wee intro bit: I live in Edinburgh and potter about with my kid. Used to do comedy (not very well but had a lovely time), used to write a lot more (and trying to do it again) and host stuff (particularly love kids events). Leftie, likes talking to dogs, quite pleasant, often tired. 0100
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Cold enough on the cycle home today that I was really basking in the bus exhaust fumes. Lovely little carcinogenic bursts of tropical wind to get you through winter. 010
Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 17/11/2024One of the reasons I'm here is because I got an Insta ad for a special Christian watch which plays bible verses whenever you feel like wanking, and it was so funny I watched it 10 times and now my algorithm is messed up and I can never go back. 270

Siân Bevan @sianyb.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Well I was swept here as part of the Xodus (prompted by @chrisdonia.bsky.social), so I guess we'll all hide here for a while, eh? 250
