This evening I have mainly been poledancing on a farm in Lingfield

This is incredible. All! Literally everything in creation! Crisps, the FIFA Presidency, garibaldi biscuits, trams, Graham Souness, every piece of gravel, the Padel tournament, the entire back catalogue of the Beastie Boys, every kind of watermelon, pubic lice, my bedsheets, the power of the sun, 700 trillion cubic meters of sand, every dog cat and mouse and also komodo dragon, the concept of peace, every nuclear weapon, the Taj Mahal, all of the moons, the Iberian Peninsula, you, me, every crab, night terrors, every penis ever invented, all of the shoes, every oxygen particle on Earth.... I could go on. It's too much I think in my opinion.

Her name was Lola, she was a shōgun

I know technology is the new devil but if I could I would totally Lawnmower Man myself and live inside the Fediverse

I'm very grateful to @nprofile1q... for reminding me of Temple of the Dogs Hunger Strike, as I sit in the garden listening to it and am reminded of good times and good friends. ❤️

I refuse to start the week on a cross note, buuuut... there is a woman on the bus who's been having an animated telephone conversation with her friend on loudspeaker the whole journey. I don't wish her harm. I don't. But it's sort of fascinating that someone would choose to do that. It's so spectacularly rude and unaware. My brain is telling me that a reasonable response would be to go and sit in the seat right next to her and loudly make dolphin noises into her ear. I realise this is irrational. Let us hope instead one day she finds herself in a situation where her peace is broken by another inconsiderate stranger and she learns a lesson fr-oh no, is this my lesson for a past transgression? This is my comeuppance, isn't it? My petard. Well consider me hoisted. I shall never be rude or inconsiderate again. SORRY UNIVERSE YOU'VE MADE YOUR POINT. Anyway have a great day, everybody! X

This is powerful. Thanks to @nprofile1q... for making me aware. 😊 :trans_heart:

I hate to do posts that seem like sort of humblebrags designed to cynically drive engagement. This isn't that. But.... this bears saying. I was in a situation yesterday - an all day training course - with a lot of people who are trying to make the world better. People at the cutting edge of social justice. As left wing as it gets. There was shouting, fists in the air and people referring to one another as comrade. All walks of life were in representation. But. In one of the exercises - a scenario with role play - there was a clear example of a non-gendered person, and people just could not understand that instead of referring to a female-coded name, they should be referring to them as they/them instead of she/her. I found myself the only person in a group of maybe 30 people who had to openly and vocally say - no, it's they/them. It is not her/she(bar). No one really understood and I had to say 'sorry everyone, but this person isn't gendered' and they all looked at me like I was mental and carried on referring to the person in the female gender. I did it like 4 times. Do people in the wider universe (ie. Not Fedi or my brain) not understand this? I feel like in 2026 this isn't some kind of ineffable concept. Am I weird? I don't feel like I am (well I definitely am, but not in this) and it's not *that* difficult to understand? I was going to start calling the he's she's and the she's he's in the group to drive the point home, but thought that might be a step too far. Hopefully I made my point and they'll (THEY'LL) think about it later. But, dudes. If you can fight the good fight for the people, you can at least understand some people are non-binary?

This is apparently a 'tea tin' and I've been told to stop saying that 'grandad is in there'

I don't mean to seem horribly repressed, but people that walk about pushing babies in buggies - don't they know we're all thinking the same thing - we all know that they've *whisper* had s e x

HIVE MIND!

I am trying to get a piece of custom jewellery made for my daughter. I am looking for a local independent person to set a stone in reclaimed silver for a necklace. The person I found has withdrawn because they're too busy and I can't find anyone else! I'm looking in Bromley, Croydon region. I realise this is a long shot but wondered if you might be able to help. What I DON'T want is someone who's based in London who ALSO covers Bromley or Croydon. What I DON'T want is an established jewellery shop. What I ideally want is a struggling artist, working from home, who would genuinely benefit from a commission and who wouldn't mind me shouting about them.

Thank you very much indeed. 😊❤️

Went into my Beige Party advanced settings earlier and there was a button that simply said DO NOT PUSH. I do hope it wasn't for anything important.
