We’re only 2/3 the way through the year @gojauntly.bsky.social – gave me a bit of a panic! There are still 4 months left!
A notification on a go Jauntly walking challenge that says we’re 3/4 of the way through the year.

There are many things to be unhappy with the @nytimes.com about, but “things you’d see on Grindr profiles” not being a category is high on my list.

Some #TransJoy today!

The partner of one of my sex therapy classmates came out as trans so to celebrate she and her daughter made some trans cake! One vegan, one gluten free!
A table with two trays of cake slices. One is lemon, one is chocolate. They both have pink and blue drizzled icing and trans flags.

We're halfway through June so I guess we're hitting peak rainbowashing!

@helenzaltzman.bsky.social this looks… very suspicious:

My hypochondria loves these adverts.
A billboard that says: WITH UP TO 5 MILLION COMMUTERS ON THE TUBE DAILY, OVER 294,000 COULD BE LIVING WITH A RARE CONDITION. #RAREHAPPENS In the UK, 1 in 17 people could be affected by a rare disease. 225 ALEXION AstraZeneca

Confused as to why this box of dates should be kept at a temperature cooler than a fridge when all shops just keep them on the shelves? I don’t want cold dates!

I suspect millions of households that don’t use pads will get these in the post. Does anyone know if the supermarket food bank donation bins will accept pads? Could be a great use of an offer that would otherwise go to waste.

I wonder how many diseases I’m going to catch from my GP’s toilets?

Also, whatever magic was going to happen to make that soap dispenser work today did not include filling it with soap.

(I’m not sure the picture captures how grim this is)

A molehill I will die on is that film and theatre posters need to write the names of the actors in the same order as the photograph. Can’t be dealing it’s this crap…
A poster for The Fifth Step in which Jack Lowden is on the right and Martin Freeman is on the left, however their names appear above each other on the poster.

Can someone who understands things better than me explain how one screen at Charing Cross had all the ads duplicated but none of the others do?

I visited Blackheath Creative and Cafe today and there is a TON of transport stuff inside – mostly Shed No 2 stuff which is on sale and lots of old tickets and things!

If you're new here, my partner and I have been making gingerbread underground stations every Christmas since we got together. Last year was Hounslow East...

Slightly late for Christmas, our gingerbread station is go! And this year we've gone for... Farringdon!

Opening as a temporary structure for the terminus of the Metropolitan Railways in 1863, it was moved to its current site in 1895. This frontage, designed by Charles W Clark, opened in 1923.

After four years of excellent gingerbread stations, we’ve got the limits of what gingerbread can do.

Will need to regroup and try again after Christmas!

Is the reason the only person who isn’t made of gingerbread on a treadmill because she’s training to outrun them? Or am I overthinking the Instagym Christmas (and very slightly Hannukah) display?
