Hey (beer) peeps!
The lovely Anthology Brew are getting a lot of hate from TERFs/bigots in the Other Place; so I need you all to go give the brewery some love and drink all of their amazing beer!
A TERF upset that someone made a beer that’s not for bigots, tweeted “Went to a gig last night. This was one of the beers they had on tap. Women who belief in biological facts are not welcome”

Recently started playing this game & FFS WOULD IT KILL GAME DEVELOPERS TO ASSUME WOMEN PLAY BOARDGAMES TOO?!? Instructions manual is all addressed to “he” for the player…🤢

The YEAR IS 2025 FFS

(rant over…for now)
War of the Ring board game which according to developers is only played by men because instructions are all addressed to “he or him”

Last weekend my 7yo niece & I baked the best Christmas cake there ever was (Victoria sponge ofc) & it was fluffy & delicious thanks to @nigella.bsky.social recipe.
Also can we all agree that my niece’s cream to cake ratio was PERFECT 🤩 🙏

Recipe here www.nigella.com/recipes/vict...
A Christmas tree shaped Victoria sponge with a humongous amount of whipped cream and raspberry jam. The cake is decorated with colourful sprinkles on the top in shape of candy cane & flowers

Pretty sad thatcertain actors I love may actually be involved in this nonsense.

Aside from further enriching a transphobe, having another HP film/series is just very fucking dull specially when there’s plenty of better (written) stories about magic & wizards.

So Fuck this all the way off
Guardian article: Cillian Murphy as Voldemort? Everything we know about HBO's Harry Potter TV show Details are beginning to emerge about the 'decade-long' adaptation of JK Rowling's books - with some starry actors reportedly in negotiations A section of the article in the guardian: Will JK Rowling be involved? Yes. Warner Bros is producing the series in association with Rowling's company Brontë Film and TV, and Rowling is one of the series' executive producers. Rowling has ownership over key aspects of the Harry Potter IP - namely, the characters - meaning Warner Bros had to make a deal with her in order to green light their series. More on this topic Harry Potter fans boo as King's Cross ends back to Hogwarts' tradition And from the get-go, her involvement has been divisive. Rowling's opinions about trans people in recent years have drawn criticism from the LGBTQI+ community, fans of her books and even some of the stars of the Harry Potter films. And article continues: Despite this, Bloys said on Thursday that he's "totally comfortable" with Rowling's involvement and "not concerned about consumer response". Who will be in the show? HBO hasn't confirmed any cast at this point, though various trade publications have begun saying who is in the running. Variety reports that Warner Bros has reached out to Mark Rylance to play Dumbledore. The Hollywood Reporter reported sources confirming that Paapa Essiedu has been offered the role of Severus Snape. There are also rumours that Cillian Murphy is being considered for Voldemort.

Can someone Google this for me & give me a brief summary?
Thanks 🙏
Someone replies with “better than paint enema guy” to a tweet (?!) that consists of 3 vignettes/drawings which basically poke fun (and rightly so imho) at the guy famous on IG for spilling paint off a suspended bucket on to a canvas The person who mentioned the “paint enema guy” replies to someone asking about it with “you heard me. Google exists”

Hello all, I have news:

PINEAPPLES ARE BERRIES
A pineapple toy with a smiley face The label that the pineapple toy came with: “My name is Spike! Hi, I'm Spike the Pineapple. I've also been called the fruit of Kings! Did you know that us pineapples are not actually apples or a pine? We're a berry!”

Look at the pickle plant tho 😍
A pickle plant which is like a succulent. The small hairy spiked look kind of rubbery and they’re not stingy. It’s quite soft. The leaves look a little bit like (oval) cornichons

Plantpots I bought yesterday and some new plants including a pickle plant 😍,

Nice to see a bunch of good people joining Bluesky - this will push me to share more stuff here😊
Just as an FYI I normally share below average photos, talk about hikes, beer, board games I play with my niece (& some times grown ups) & random & pointless thoughts!

Here are some pics of the Drab Majesty gig at Belgrave Music Hall last night.

Such a good gig I am now a big fan of the band…and was reminded how totally lovely the goth peeps are 🖤

Just a quick post to say I’m still here - it’s just that social media (X mainly) drains the life out of me some times.

Here are some photos of the woods I walked through not long ago 🍁🍂
This and the other 3 photos are of trees with leaves in shades of orange, greens and browns. The floor covered in dry leaves Tall trees The littlest tree with yellow leaves sprouting from a sea of dry fallen leaves, seen from above The path into the woods

Went to see The National on Saturday during a full on hangover- it was a great 2.5 hour gig but also I could’ve done with a seat and copious amounts of Diet Coke 🙏
