Dana and I found this place in Alloa called "The Submission Factory".
It's not as fun as it sounds. It's just an MMA gym.

I'd say I was fairly traumatised by being raised Roman Catholic, but the Evangelicals traumatised me more in a month than the Catholic Church did in decades.
Just thinking about how I dated an Evangelical Christian when I was a teenager and his church held me captive twice.
I'm generally against involving police, but I really should have had them all arrested lol

You’ve just opened a Star Trek themed restaurant. What are you calling it?

they said this about Massachusetts when we enacted a similar tax and not only did the billionaires not leave, IIRC we have slightly more billionaires per capita now than we did before the tax

Today I can play Good King Wenceslaus, my favourite 26 December carol.
(It's a Christmas carol, sure, in the sense that it's for the twelve days of the Christmas season, but the lyrics say that he went out on the Feast of St Stephen, which is the day after Christmas).

I have a friend who tags words onto "-thonwy" to describe my present state. For example, if I tell him I just got out of the shower, he'll say, "Ah, Cleanthonwy," or I'll tell him I'm making dinner, and it's "Cookthonwy".
And then I told him I was back in Massachusetts, so he said, "Ah, MAthonwy."

My mother's father was an ethnic Lithuanian with Polish citizenship, and so I have Polish citizenship despite having never lived in Poland nor having much of a connection to it ethnically.
It's silly that I can just show up in Poland and be Polish, but not immigrants who lived there for decades.

I always thought it was kind of weird that many Europeans on the internet will mock and ridicule Americans for continuing to take an interest in their ancestral countries and identify as "Polish-American" or whatever when many of their countries don't let people give up their ancestral citizenship

Fine, sure, we can all just celebrate some other incarnate deity today, I guess. Happy Christmas or whatever.

I have actually considered changing my name a few times in the past because I have such a weird name, but the thing that kept stopping me was that the only other names I could think of were even worse.
Or, in the immortal words of my immortal mother, "I'm not calling you Rapunzel, Mathonwy."

Whilst all of you celebrate Lady Winter, I'm preparing to wrestle her in a few months to end her reign and fill the world with my verdure and blossoms.
Whilst you're all eating Christmas cake, I'll be training for Wrastle In the Ice Castle 6182: Queen Gēyōmīna versus Princess Mathonwy.

My second favourite fruit is cloudberries, and it's really annoying to me that the only time I can get them is by walking four miles through a Scottish bog for one week in July (or else take a flight to the Baltics or Scandinavia).
Brambles are actually my second favourite kind of fruit, generally.

My favourite picture of 2025 is a toss-up between me and Dana standing on Gay Street on Nantucket and me and Dana standing on the Isle of Skye.

I've inexplicably begun watching house cleaning videos on YouTube for hoarders' homes, and I can always tell when a house is in Scotland because they are BURIED in empty IRN BRU bottles in every room.

Demelza, our large white husky mutt, broke into the downstairs bathroom, ate about five rolls of toilet paper, and looks very pleased with herself.

The same thing happened to my favourite goth club. It's now being hosted out of a hipster bar attached to a local brewery. Want a cocktail? Well, too bad, you'll have an artisinal IPA or you'll have nothing.
I can't even get drunk whilst dancing with Dana, it's an outrage.

Found out that my favourite pub in Cardiff has been turned into some sort of hipster artisinal IPA bullshit bar. Fuck's sake.
