Alive, but mostly kicking 🌀
My local airport just announced a new route to Munich, and I got really excited that I can finally go visit my aunt without her worrying about me going through much hassle for her. Then I remembered that she’s dead.

Germany, today.

People in the replies are like "how could they?!"

Well, this is what police is for and always has been. They're acting as intended. This is why we say ACAB.

If you told this was happening when I was a child, I would have thought there would be a bit more of an uproar in the international press, it’s just the day the Hitler Youth is being founded all over again in Germany of all places. www.independent.co.uk/news/police-...

Guten Morgen, Essex!

This weekend’s meltdown features Mr President’s Coco Jambo, a roast chicken and fat salty tears over a book I will never be able to relate to, but can still feel in my bones.

Babylove, sometimes I fear deeply that I’m too sensitive to interact with this world.

If a day could be a primal scream, it probably would be today. So I made comfort dinner.

The definition of insanity is supporting this Netherlands squad and not thinking that every time they are just about the superior team they won’t have to go one nil down before they get their shit together. It’s also a metaphor for life.

I just did killer make up and that would be great if I wasn’t so permanently on the verge of tears because I absolutely and utterly hate my life right now. Gonna have to dig real deep for that gratitude shit.

Day 299 of ‘having a headache’. Apparently we are nearing the end. I really hope we’re nearing the end.

Since last night snot keeps coming out of my tear ducts; truly the coup de grâce for the remnants of my sanity, yet somehow also the only thing keeping me from crying about it. Life is so funny.

Allowing myself to listen to exclusively gloomy music today because, heck, I need to feel something other than phlegm.

When I woke up I had one of those guttural misery cries. Then I got up and made a cup of tea, because part of life is knowing that if you can still make a cup of tea, it’s not that bad. I’m back to being annoyingly upbeat in all interactions but at the core of it - dear Lord I am sick of being sick.

Of course now that the pain appears to be subsiding (🤞🏽), I have to acknowledge my immune system is utterly bamboozled by all the meds and changes. Viva la common cold!

It’s 3 gazillion years past my bed time but who expects me to sleep after I was in the presence of Gaga?

(Also the new meds almost worked well, so I’m double warm & fuzzy)

30 seconds into my cab ride this morning the cab driver asked ‘does Farage want to deport you, too?’ and thus ensued the funniest conversation about immigration I’ve had with a stranger in about a decade.

Dear reader, some people say my standards are too high when it comes to dating. Others say absolutely not. To the latter I confess I can’t date someone who earnestly refers to McDonald’s as ‘Maccies’. You decide.

Absolutely can’t marry the facts that my new neighbours have a flag hanging out their window and a Pulp shirt hanging up to dry on their washing line.

There was a """patriots'""" march in town today. I'd anticipated a depressingly large turnout in what has been an historically very white, small-c conservative part of the UK (Essex, init). But thirty people showed up. Southend chooses diversity and inclusion ✊🏻

As an immigrant I only have one question: why are you so obsessed with me?
September 16, 2025 at 10:15 AM
Dr delicately pointed out that my meds have caused a landslide weight gain & when he tried to backpaddle I had to explain I was getting emotional because by people trying to be nice & telling me it wasn’t the case, they’d made me feel crazy & it was just nice to confirm I’m not that kind of crazy.

God, football is just so embarrassing. Get me off this planet. (Yes, I’m being dramatic.)

I painted on a jug and it’s made me happy, especially because I’m an artless soul.

The fact Depay is still in this team is why Koeman is giving me trust issues.
