I was a bit bereft after finishing all of #Supernatural, but I’ve found solace in just going straight back in.
Ok, so I’m mostly watching the #Castiel episodes this time round. I love Sam, Dean and Bobby and even Crowley too, but Cas is just a thing of beauty.
I blame @mishacollins.bsky.social.

Hello Mx Bluesky, how are you all doing?

Yeesh. Ok, well, the best revenge is surviving, right? You’re doing great and I appreciate you.

I managed to go into hospital with gallstones, get diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, then a lung infection, then a collapsed lung, then a ruptured ACL 😬

Well, I suppose this is exactly what we should expect from a Tory governm—- Wait a goddamn minute!

So, this is what we’re doing is it? Well that’s just fucking great…

Myth: Universal Basic Income is a magnet for the idle. In reality, it's the catalyst for unleashed potential. Visualize a world where your next meal isn't your next worry. That world is one giant leap closer to solving the puzzles of poverty and unleashing collective brilliance.

I am back on the socials just to say the Cass report is shite and JKR can suck my balls. Thank you for your attention.

THREAD: UK transphobes are doing a bizarre victory lap over a "systematic review" of gender-affirming care even though it refutes all of their core arguments.

First, only a tiny number of kids medically transition every year.

This. Exactly this. I’m assuming they aren’t going to prescribe puberty blockers for precocious puberty anymore, since they ‘don’t work’… 🙄🙄🙄🙄🤔
Thousands of cisgender kids are prescribed blockers every year to delay precocious puberty. When they stop using them, puberty proceeds normally and they live the rest of their lives.

The reversibility is the entire point!

Well, that’s my exercise for the day, done!

Did the washing up lads! Well, most of it. There’s cutlery again! And clear sides… Mostly. Might set Ulysses the Eufy going too later. If I could get my head around doing upstairs that’d be great. But there’s new cat litter coming. Morrisons own brand is NOT good… 🤢👃🏻👀

Why did no one tell me the Insidious films were such fun before. Nearly caught up now. I want to share a house with Tucker and Specs and my cats. That’ll work out, right 🤞🏻

My purpose in life to to cover all available surfaces with things. My cats purpose in life is to clear all surfaces of things. There is no middle ground here. This is a war of attrition. #cats #sphynx

Interested if anyone else is on H1 and H2 antihistamines for long covid, because it’s been a week now and I am SO sleepy, all the time, and forgetful too. It’s like my symptoms have been turned up to 11. Do I need to give it more time, or is this not working for me? #LongCovid

At my mum’s for the day. I’ve had coffee and a lot of biscuits. Shortly I’ll make us lunch, and then I might do some work* whilst she watches her shows. Today it’s Hudson & Rex…

I see WhatsApp has channels now, and none of them are of any interest whatsoever, which is pretty damn cunning of them…

Ok. Soo ios17 is actually pretty funky. If you want me, I’ll be over here making stickers of everything…

I can rate things on Prime at last?! Time to go through everything & add little thumbs up by all the weird stuff I like, in the hope of more.

In the olden days, there was a site where you could rate books & it recommended more, the more you rated. I loved that. That & purity tests.

I am very old.

Watered the plants and hoovered* today! Yep I’m almost over having a visitor for a few hours on Wednesday… 🙄

*Ok. Watched the magic hoover get wedged under the sofa again, whilst the cats warily stalked it. It’s still a game changer tho 💖
