this is a good reference on a number of levels. If we're being specific on that number, it is two.

Not that I don't trust your intelligence, but like...don't actually drink a bottle of Night Nurse like it's a red bull.
You should instead take it like a shot of ouzo. Something you do once out of interest, then never again because it's repulsive.

Looking for a bit of advice - my letting agent have ignored every single call/email/repairs request since my initial report on the 1st of October about water ingress into my flat. It's coming in via the lintel above the window.
What do I do because I'm losing my mind?

At the point where I'm basically just treating FFXIV as a dress-up game. And having lots of fun designing tattoos.

Got a lovely wee evening planned, going for ramen and then to a talk on James VI and witches where an actual original copy of Daemonologie will be present. And I will look at it. With my eyes.

Simpsons History Lesson
I never want to besmirch the good name of The Simpsons [classic era]
But Blackbeard could read. While we don’t know a lot about his early life, he was a privateer (legal pirate), likely from a wealthy family and he may well have been educated at university.

I'm currently working on a presentation that's either going to get me fired or convince people to give us money for community wealth building.

OK so all of these films are showing at the GFT over the next few weeks, and I was wondering if anyone wanted to go with me to any of them?

So I don't remember the mailman/milkman bit from that episode, it does ring a bell though? But the first part is bang on. And a favourite. It's the one line that made my mum laugh.

Important Lady Snowblood update
Having a real good time with Ghost of Yōtei, but need to keep reminding myself it’s not a dress up game and despite how obvious and good it would be to have a Lady Snowblood look, it does not have one.
Just want to take vengeance in a banger white kimono, lads.

Excited to share the theme of my next solo history talk - which is all about how history rhymes rather than repeats through a lens of the Scottish Witch Hunts, worker rights, immigration, welfare and rebellion (see this morning's instagram rant).
Will keep you posted on dates and venues!
