I once saw a documentary claim that sloths spends 80% of their lives upside down, which just makes me think we're wrong about which is the upside of a sloth.

Marveling at the compositional choices of copyright-infringing fair ground art. Who's on this single ride? Some Avengers, Cat Woman, joker, black swan Natalie Portman? Magneto, second Magneto, Ghost Rider's back. And Sophie Turner's Jean Grey from the least popular X-Men. All excellent choices.

It's genuinely worth a quick check of the advanced moderation settings as there's plenty I'm sure people would like to tweak but aren't aware that they can.
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Just got a copy of the letter sent from my cancer care team to my GP about how end of treatment scans showed a good response. Still, the biggest emotional response I had was to "He had a PET scan recently that was discussed in our haematology MDT last week..."
They talked about me in a meeting!

I have watched several hours of Frisky and Mannish shows tonight, just blissed out on the sheer overload of camp and sequins and a whole vibe I desperately wanted to be part of but never made the effort. Why aren't they massive, they're hilarious and gorgeous and sparkly.

I sold my soul to the devil for a sandwich, a caprisun and a bag of crisps.

I heard there was a handy clasp
That helps rock climbers with their grasp
Of ropes, and makes your keyring look much keener
It saves on space, it opens in,
And closes with a subtle spring,
The humble and the trusty
Carabiner
