Absolutely thrilled to say that Aaron (@waarontear.bsky.social) finally got engaged!
He only went and made a whole RPG full of our in-jokes and references over the last 8 years, and after beating the final boss I was rewarded with this lovely proposal. Very us 🥹

My brain, randomly: I wonder if my dog ever remembers and misses his mother and siblings and feels an unknowing, quiet sadness he can neither understand nor communicate, and all the love we share pales in comparison to the love he cannot fathom he has lost

I get why the media and opposition parties love it, but I wish "the Government did a other U-turn" wasn't always painted as a bad thing.
Listening to concerns and agreeing to go back and re-think policy is a good thing? Especially after years of "Brexit means Brexit" leadership styles

Turned my phone off and on again over the weekend and it's been fine since lmao
Battery was about 80% when I went to bed last night. Was on my wireless charger overnight. I've woken up and it's been drained entirely down to 13%. And there's no obvious reason why?
First image shows it's drained from 80% down to this on "Friday" - I was in bed before midnight and just woke up

Found perhaps the most heterosexual man in the world at the gym earlier. Coach played Soda Pop. Everyone loved it. He had apparently "never heard of K-Pop Demon Hunters".
I'd accept not knowing/registering that song but, like, how on Earth did you miss that? You MUST be lying???

Last time I was at the dentist they poked my gym with a sharp instrument and told me off that it bled and to brush harder. I got really bad bleeding this week and went to see them again. They told me I've brushed too hard and damaged the gums and to brush softer.

Dr Beth Upton went to work one day to help sick people, and that is it. She's done nothing wrong (highlighted by the courts), never got involved in the media, never said a bad word about anyone, even once. And she's been hounded out of the country by bigots who hate that she exists.

I am really looking forward to the General Election TV debates because I hope Zack Polanski is going to have a Nicola Sturgeon moment where everyone suddenly goes "oh, he's quite good isn't he?" and cleans up the election map. He is just so good at this.
Phillips "This is not a country where people get thrown in jail for things they say"
@zackpolanski.bsky.social points out 2,700 people have been arrested for holding signs
And well done to Zack for challenging Phillips smear that 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' is antisemitic

Every single person involved in this hate campaign and everyone who has supported them - Anas Sarwar, for example - needs to be run out of public life the way they've run Dr Upton out the NHS. Being trans isn't a risk factor for people around you; this obsessive hate absolutely is.
Susan Smith of For Women Scotland is quoted in this piece saying that Dr Upton leaving the NHS will be "a relief to female patients."
The employment tribunal found that Upton had done nothing wrong! She was completely innocent of any kind of harassment!

I got to play Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, X, X-2 that all came out within 6 years of each other, not to mention all the *other* bangers old Square put out at the same time.
In the equivalent timespan we've only had two parts of a remake of Final Fantasy VII, and XVI. This is absolutely The Reason.

I'm assuming those God of War remakes will be more like FF7 Crisis Core remakes - given a new coat of paint with modern assets and maybe some QOL updates, not complete re-imaginings?
Bit sad to see Santa Monica look backwards after taking the series forward so much though
