Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 13hJust had to write a brand new birthday card and hurriedly pop out to post it because I realised that I addressed the previous birthday card to my grandma (who lives in a care home with at least fifty other grandmas) ‘Grandma’. 180

Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I’m not well so I’ve been Far Too Online & when I drag myself out of my pit & see real people with jobs idk if I’m going with ‘Mass/mask/masc lesbian bar clown school secular hijab accessory’ discourse or ‘anti consent Harry Potter fanfic autism slut parties are the future of AI safety’ discourse. 🤔 091

Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Omfg legal consent (especially between minors and adults) and social consent between appropriately and similarly aged teenagers is completely different and if you cannot discern that difference at best you should not be throwing sex parties and idk maybe you should be in jail. 171

Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If you’re not already in the hole the Zizians episode of Behind the Bastards is an excellent place to start as a primer on exactly how fucking weird parts of this world is and how existing in it means voluntarily giving yourself brain damage (not a metaphor). youtu.be/9mJAerUL-7w?...youtu.bePart One: The Zizians: How Harry Potter Fanfic Inspired a Death Cult | BEHIND THE BASTARDSYouTube video by Behind the Bastards 121
Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Last weekend I got into it with a group of relative strangers who were fairly deep down the (normie) AI doomer rabbit hole and I’d dropped ‘Harry Potter fanfic’ ‘Rokos basilisk’ ‘Zizians’ & ‘nerd sex cult’ before noticing blank faces & realising that we were missing some important shared context. 190
Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 27/09/2026A lot of the case studies in ‘The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat’ have been shown to be lies or heavily embellished which is an excellent example of why you should grow out of basing your personality on pop science in your early to mid twenties. 020
Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 27/09/2026People act like my choosing to wild camp is rugged and brave when actually it’s (mostly) because trying to find campsites in the middle of the UK countryside with Google being what it is is an intolerable process. 040

Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This is a perfectly normal developmental phase (like refusing to tidy your room or calling your mum a bitch) it’s a problem if it becomes calcified into your adult personality 😬 010
Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The fun thing about being in online hiking and camping spaces is watching little hysterias ebb and flow: this week ‘can you get hantavirus from Appalachian trail shelters’ (no, no you cant) 110

Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 26/09/2026This is foundationally no different from the makers of Furby’s telling them what a crackhead is and instructing them to mimic that behaviour whenever things get too quiet. If you tell machines to do things they do them, this is not news. 150
Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The iced coffee thing is interesting because it makes me think about a conversation I had with a very wise adult when I was a gothy teenager. The TLdr was ‘people SHOULDNT judge you negatively based on just your appearance but when you first meet them they don’t have any other clues 270
Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Please don’t spread bad advice just because it’s about something *you* don’t care about or isn’t a thing in your field.

Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I like where I currently live but if I were going to add an upgrade I would live nearer to a Morrisons with a rotisserie counter. 270
Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I think an additional problem is that there are people who THINK they are media literate bc they learned some buzzwords & some tropes but they don’t know how to apply them & it’s turned from analysis into a spotters guide where you tick things off. Eg. Depiction =/= Glamorisation or endorsement! 1134

Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 25/09/2026All the chuds trying to ‘GOTCHA!’ people with ADHD by saying that time blindness never works the other way have clearly never seen me awkwardly lurking outside an event I’m 45 minutes early to, trying to act like I ‘just happened’ to be in the area and not like a weird nerd/stalker. 2192
Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Having struggled with disordered eating (but probably not a full ED) since my teens GLP-1s have been life changing.

Sorrel @sorrelish.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I think the modern tendency to excuse or sympathise with villains has gone too far & has led us down an absurd path where you can’t even fictionally hold someone accountable for bad behaviour without exhaustively considering their childhood trauma/mental health/neurodivergence. Bad behaviour is bad! 716715
