I'm on my semi-annual pilgrimage to Hay On Wye (the real happiest place on earth, fuck you disney), and I really need to set a spending limit, the way casinos claim to do with gambling addicts.

This is the most beautiful piece art I've seen in my life. I'm moved to tears in ways I can't fully comprehend.
“Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.”

My parents are selling their house, so I've returned to the village I grew up in for likely the final time to sort through the crap I left here. Including, but not limited to: a copyrighted design for a multi-person space hopper.

Been living in Cardiff for nearly 4 years now and nobody has ever explained, or even referenced, the group of 6 or 7 people who gather to play vaguely ethnic music in front of the Senedd every Wednesday. Why there? Why do they sometimes do capoeira? Do they really exist? Am I hallucinating crusties?

At the Glamorgan Gloucestershire T20 double header 🏏 and realised that I'm sat right by the crowd mic, so I've got the opportunity to perform the worst karaoke BBC radio Wales has ever heard.

At some point today I've lost track of time and about 4 hours, so I'm now making mushroom soup at quarter to eleven, which feels just wrong in a way I can't really define.

Snapped my glasses on the weekend and just spent an hour in opticians picking out new frames, so my phone is full of horrific selfies as I struggle to choose between dozens of near-identical frames.

Absolute solidarity with trans and non-binary individuals today. This is another blow to being recognised and accepted. It does nothing to protect anyone, but it does make lives harder and rights at more risk, for trans and non-binary individuals, yet again.
