Pantone's Colour of the Year is... Well, it's just fucking white, isn't it?
An image depicting a man wearing flowing white trousers and shirt, standing on a white and blue, cloudy background. He's standing as though ready to be accepted into heaven, which is ironic, considering I would dearly love to send those who selected WHITE as Colour of the Year to have a fucking word with their maker.

Sacrifices were made (I had to move cactii and a tradescantia in a macrame hanger, then wrangle a tension rod)

Candles? Lit. Pumpkin? Carved? Veil between realms? Thinner than my patience.

A blessed All Hallow's Eve to you all.

What in the name of Five Nights at Freddies is going on at my nearby garden centre's Christmas display, and why is Taylor Swift being implicated?!

...It might be time for website developers to update their lingo...
Error message upon updating my work's website that says: "Validation failed. ACF was unable to perform validation because the provided nonce failed verification." Why are we using the word 'nonce' in 2025? Joe Blogg on the street has a VERY different connotation with that word...

It's the land of pasties, cream teas, cheese and cider - of course the South West is 'Southern Good'!
A meme from @memesofbritish: text reads "People keeping getting the North/South divide wrong, and it's time to set the record straight" with a take on the DnD moral alignment chart laud over a map of England and Wales. Top row: over the north of Wales and Liverpool, Northern Good. Over Sheffield and Leeds, Northern Neutral. Over the North East coast, Northern Evil. Middle row: over Wales, Midlands Good. Over Birmingham, True Midlands. Over Norfolk, Midlands Evil. Bottom row: over Somerset and Devon, Southern Good. Over Bournemouth and the Isle of Wight, Southern Neutral. Over London and Brighton, Southern Evil.

Although whoever is copywriting for the Argos website's done a fab job here. I'd get to "it's got 4 sockets, innit?" before contemplating my career choices.

I cannot justify spending £40 on a pair of boots in this economy but BOY do I wish I could...
An image of a pair of knee-high, military-style lace up boots, with a chunky heel. They'd make me look like a fucking bad-ass, and up my height to about 5'3".

...At least the sun's out?
Screenshot of the weather widget on my desktop telling me that on this, the 8th day of September in 2025, the temperature is MINUS 273 degrees Celsius. Because suddenly we've moved to Uranus.

I'm going to need this in a 'small', pleaseandthankyou.
A black t-shirt with the phrase 'Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Sertraline' emblazoned on the front. It's reminiscent of the Maybelline advertising campaign, and a what better way to advertise that your girl is medicated than having the fact emblazoned across your tits?

Why yes, Oh Mighty Algorithm, this mug *does* appeal to my interests. However, after clicking the link to discover it is 24 WHOLE BRITISH POUNDS, I think the fuck not.
A truly lovely matt black Le Creuset mug, with gloss black bats adorning the side. A shame it's so wildly expensive.

A still from The Simpsons showing a newspaper clipping of Grandpa with the headline "Old Man Yells at Cloud". A befitting meme in response to a dude who I can only hope is trolling us all.

There are many reasons why Baldur's Gate 3 is my new favourite game, not least of which is that the dev/writing team clearly had a fucking blast creating it. #bg3 #ArseOverTeakettle

Wild that, depending on what time of the month it is, that I can have an entirely different bra size.

You say "Halloween decorations", I say "home decor".
Two mirror-tiled ghost ornaments (one pink, one silver), proving that disco lives forever A realistic skull-shaped ornament, flocked in black to give it a velvet finish. Just because it's a symbol for death doesn't mean it can't be fabulous.

Totally legit. Nothing funky here at ALL.

Sign You're In Your 30s, no.1846: This genuine WhatsApp exchange between my sister and I.
A discussion between my sister and I about a place called The Tea and Biscuit Club in Sussex, the existence of Rhubarb Pie flavoured Rooibos, and their fabulous multi-coloured teapots. Never let it be said that we don't know how to live.
