It was cold today. Like - 4ยฐC cold. So I wore this long-sleeved black turtleneck t-shirt thing that I bought ages ago.
Of course, just before I was about to leave the house, I stayed getting Milk Tray Man vibes, so I had to throw a hoodie over it to negate them.
This is probably more a post for my UKian friends
Just got told "shut the fuck up, troll" over on bluesky when I questioned a user who said there's "no algo" over there.
Still waiting for someone to answer my question about how the site earns money.
There's some serious levels of delusion going on amongst a lot of the users over there, imo, like it's some kind of magical utopia with no financial pressures etc
Anyone been watching season 6 of #Justified? I swear, there's a noticeable upturn in the amount of times Boyd Crowder goes "WHOOOO!" and it's bugging the shit out of me..
20 year anniversary of Half-Life 2!
I'm guessing most people who'd be interested in the game will already have it but, in case I'm wrong, it's free at the moment:

Putin and Trump are both, in fact, fascists. And their use of the word, though meant to confuse, reminds us of one of fascismโs essential characteristics. ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ง๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐๐๐ง ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ. He does not serve the language; the language serves him. When a fascist calls a liberal a โfascist,โ the term begins to work in a different way, as the servant of a particular person, rather than as a bearer of meaning.

Just saw a thing about #20artists20days and sorry, I got commitment issues over that, but here's one of my favourite illustrators ever:

First came across his work around 30 years ago in a shop somewhere around Charing Cross Road that had a stand full of postcards outside.
Just applied for a job.
Which probably doesn't sound like a big deal, but it kinda was for me, 'cos I've recently realised I've got a bit of Imposter Syndrome going on. Not like I'm famous or anything, but I just felt like I don't know enough to apply for certain jobs in my field, despite literally decades of experience.
Today was my "Fuck It" moment. While I didn't disclose *everything* in my application (some of you who follow me will know what I mean), it still feels like fairly big step.
What advice / directives are parents giving their daughters when approached with the "your body, my choice" comments in school? in public? alone? in a group?
Verbal comebacks are not always the safest choice, I don't think.
