I'm having a bit of low mood at the moment, so I decided to buy a present for my wife - which means I get to watch @erikaishii.bsky.social stab people in a very pretty game (cat for chiminage)

Watching 'The Witcher : Sirens of The Deep' with my darling wife. Two wonderful things - first, @dougcockle.bsky.social's sultry growl, and secondly, my wife joyously exclaiming 'Now you can f*ck her like a *real* fish!'

I'm having a bad mental health day today. So I'm listening to They Might Be Giants, and asking the universe (you) for cat pics.
Here's one to get you started

Today's final word count stands at around 1500. I don't want to go to bed. I want to keep going. Stupid real job.

Made a new track. It's about hope in a time of hopelessness, and the way the world can encourage you to keep going. Thanks to @bootsmcgoot.bsky.social for her beautiful voice and lyrics, and to @dragonsteelbooks.com for helping me keep going.

Just started @aptshadow.bsky.social 's Shards of Earth, and I haven't had this feeling of deep, important immersion in another world since I was first introduced to The Culture in the writings of Iain M Banks. Absolutely brilliant so far.

Yesterday I was ill. Fever, sweats, thumping headache -whole 9 yds. Today I woke up feeling better. Showered. Took stuff to the tip. Bought a plant. Made really tasty battered mushrooms and got a couple of pictures of my cats being adorable. I'm taking today as a win.

First up, this picture of Viper Tobi is just beautiful. It reminds me of illustrations in Collins Field Guides. And secondly, this bugger was probably my favourite fight in Icebourne. Went in so confidently, cos I knew how to fight a Tobi-Kadachi. Left with red health, 1 cart left. Glorious.

And, I’ve said it before. But when I click on links written by diligent journalists in respected outlets they are paywalled. The links that are funded by right wing dark money are not. There has to be a solution, because there’s only so many paid subscriptions that the average person can sustain

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
Good trade.

I've had blood removed from me, and because I'm proactive, I already knew I wouldn't be able to focus or work today. So I took today off. From my software development job. And so far, I've spent most of my morning doing #godot game dev. Love my brain, makes so much sense

Ok so thought experiment.
Let's say someone comes up with an unorthodox theory that actually steroid inhalers are *causing* asthma to get worse and turning people into lifelong patients after what is otherwise a childhood illness experienced by a minority that they grow out of.
