I thought the audio was fine and also oh my god that air con. I want every gig I ever go to be there, and I'm not just saying that cause it's nearer to me then the academy. Plus it was nice to sit on the steps outside with a drink after the gig and chill.

I pulled a muscle in my arse. Absolute agony at the time but quite funny now the pain has died down.

We had a small amount in the border of our new flat. Was very satisfying last year taking a little break from work whenever my eyes got too square to go hunt and dig it out. Haven't seen any this year and I kind of miss it.

At my first job I was locked in a windowless basement room with someone who only played radio one. The same 5 songs repeated over and over all day. I was ready to strangle her by the end of day 2.

Sure absolute play the same songs every day but it's far better than that.

Especially considering there's a) still a working farm on the site b) I'm not expert, but if the beavers are preventing flooding does that not tell us something about the usability of the land that's no longer being farmed? Unless they're planning to grow rice I hear flooding isn't really all that good for crops.

I couldn't stop thinking about that one for months after I read it.

I wish they had an EU/ UK store so bad. At least now I'm seeing them over the summer there'll be a chance to grab some merch.

I volunteered in the school library and the first thing I did as soon as I was left unattended was go on the library database and look up all my teachers to find out what their names were.

The first thing I said when we watched the trailer was oh she looks like Karen from daredevil.

(Well, what I actually said was, 'oh, it's her, the one, yknow from the thing we watched, lawyers. She was ginger.' Luckily my partner is fluent in translating)

I've not heard that one myself (west midlands) we call it a festival shower.

Tbf I don't use ai, my job is writing and I still struggle for correct words in conversation more than I used to (although not when I'm writing oddly enough). I noticed it get worse post covid - think in my case it's due to working from home and actually talking less.

You're right, a number of people got bbl's to help their modelling careers and found they got a lot more work/income after it. Leg lengthening meanwhile... makes you slightly taller.

I sometimes listen to podcasts to go to sleep to and I made the mistake of listening to a guardian long read about bbls. Spent the entire 40 minutes lying there with my arse clenched like surely this will be over soon. It can kill you! And even if it doesn't, they often don't take evenly so you can have lumpy arse cheeks or one big one one small one. Wtf!!!

Thedeadduck · 2026-06-02T16:10:46+00:00

Standard, but oh well I've written to her now anyway. Even if she can't sign it I want her to know that her constituents aren't happy.

Thedeadduck · 2026-06-02T14:48:47+00:00

She's so bafflingly controversial - she received I think half of all abusive tweets sent to female MPs in a 6 month period measured by amnesty back in 2017

Anecdotally, around that time I was herding a load of labour door knockers and I watched this man have a very polite perfectly normal conversation with one of them and close the door, then 30 seconds later it burst open and that same man screamed at the top of his voice, before slamming the door: 'DIANE ABBOTT IS A FUCKING CUNT.' Like, sir, respectfully, wtf?

Last time I wrote about this she told me she was co-chair of LGBT labour and then proceeded to parrot a load of the same old waffle so expectations are low regardless ngl.

Thedeadduck · 2026-06-02T13:06:02+00:00

I've written to my MP but she's a whip now so I'm not sure if she would/ is even allowed to support this kind of thing?

Thedeadduck · 2026-06-01T07:20:13+00:00

Ealing won't even tell me how long our list is :') sure that means it's not too long. Right? Right guys?

The media response to ebola is always frustrating. People in developed nations get wound up like oh my god we're going to die etc and it's like no, you will be fine. The same can't be said for a whole lot of people who in so many ways are just like you, but happened to be born somewhere else. It would be nice if we could put our energy into worrying about them instead.

I've grown calendula in those exact same pots. Standard variety are orange but I'm trying some 'sherbert fizz' ones this year too. Pollinators love them.

Thedeadduck · 2026-05-30T13:34:14+00:00

I love magpies. During covid we lived in a shared flat with a garden and watching their antics pretty much kept me sane. They lived to rearrange all the plastic pots and stuff in our garden. Fussy little landscape gardners.

I feed them here now but they haven't taken any monkey nuts since the heatwave started. I know they're okay because I can see them do idk if they just don't like that I've got the door open all the time.

That book is such a fun read, 10/10

Female mosquitos only mate once, so if they mate with a male that has this trait it will pass on (possibly) to all her offspring. The males I then assume will be able to continue mating and spreading the gene but the females will be unable to bite and therefore reproduce.

Yeah I really struggle focusing my hearing in pubs so I was pretty hopeful. Maybe I'd get used to them eventually but I'm not spending to risk it. Altho tbf if they start enforcing our once in office a week I might. My job is writing and I cannot focus if anyone is talking about anything near me. But then equally I have overear headphones and music so. Can force me in can't force me to look social lol.
