Omg hahaha that’s actually quite funny!

Apologies for bringing screenshots from such a grim platform to Bluesky 🙏 x

Don’t be afraid to Like people/send messages. Some will ignore you or conversations dwindle but always all worth a shot. Don’t take things personally

I was more than ready to give up (it’s draining at times) but I met someone & we’re still together almost a year later.

(PS ALWAYS smiley photos!) 💖

Take it all with a pinch of salt- it’s tough but at least you’re meeting new people and it can be a bit fun.
I tried Hinge (was ok) and Match (also ok) - last time for 6months which I think was my limit (all profiles shown start to re appear over and over & it’s pointless after a while)

Be honest, have recent pics of you doing stuff you love doing (that’s a huge plus and great/interesting way to show who you are!) avoid pics in gyms, toilets (you’d be surprised how many men do this!!), inside or in front of your car or pics of just your cats or dogs

Ok here goes - been on and off on dating sites so I have A CHUNK of advice.
The bad news: Online dating can be soul destroying. There’s people that misrepresent themselves, that are mean, ghost you or just don’t click with you & disappointment is guaranteed.

Ah no I’m so sad to see this 💔 sending loads of love x

Ah shit sounds like our pine tree 😭 it was so SO tall too (you know, I don’t know if it’s still there!)
Don’t beat yourself up about it- we were/are “natives” to southern Spain and that shit still managed to take us by surprise and we had to ask for help!!!

It came back some times (not many - a couple of times in a bunch of years) but by then we knew to look out for it & catch it before it spread much.

PS. Your new house looks AMAZING. Don’t let the caterpillars convince you otherwise (plus those trees are super lucky to have you guys there!)

Ah mate I’ve just seen this- got procesionaria at my parents house when I was young and I feel your pain.
It’s a ballache (you know this) & you have to cut and burn it (you know this too ofc); good news is, after a few weeks/months of hard work, we got rid of it!! YOU GOT THIS 🙏💚

Btw yes I am fully aware this is outing me as a “double whammy”geek (games & LoTR)
And yes I also know it’s a small thing but it’s that kind of micro aggression that really can fuck up your experience. Specially with a game that requires you to read instructions every 2 mins

Here’s a bit of background on how not nice they are

I hear you but for the record, Brewdog has never been and indeed isn’t a nice company

Dunno but try blocking AI profiles*

*(You can’t!)

I will mute/block/hide any transphobic comments on my mentions.
Go do that bullshit somewhere else
