Been snorkelling today. Saw many amazing fish and learnt there is an international response to seeing a baby shark (at least British, Thai, Polish and Israeli). Do do do do do do do do.

Aah the joys of autumn and the face height spider’s web. Sorry for destroying your home, mate, but it went up my actual nose.

I ways enjoyed watching people arguing with Charlie Kirk. This awful thing has taken all these arguments from that and destroyed so much interaction

LinkedIn spam excelling itself today by sending me a job that expired 3 years ago and a second job for New Zealand based voiceover artists. (I am neither in NZ nor have any voiceover skills on my profile).

Got the filthiest of transcribed voicemails. All about being horny, my colon, internal education levels. Upon listening it was the hair salon asking if I minded having a different stylist today half an hour earlier. WTF iPhone transcription?

I’ve had three separate texts (old school SMSs) offering me jobs writing fake online customer reviews this week. Have we finally found something that AI and bots aren’t pretending they can do?

Well done to all who got what they needed in their A levels today. And don’t stress if you didn’t. At some point I am going to have to stop hiding behind the narrative that they are easier now and accept that I just didn’t do very well in mine.

Went to Trans Pride today. Took my first ever cis het partner who had never even been to pride. I’m so pleased at the joy he took with marching as an ally with people he respects and it was an amazing day.

My not particularly mouser cat has decided that in this heat what she needs to do is bring a live one into the house. I’ve saved the thing but IT’S TOO BLOODY HOT FOR THIS NONSENSE!

I keep getting scam SMS messages from ‘recruiters’ about a job. Not answered any obvs (block and delete) but genuinely curious what the scam is going to be? How are they going to get money from me? Or is it just to check the number is a real person for future scams?

Doing a personal statement for something. Blimey, the double space and Oxford comma is strong in me. I’m so Gen X.

Just heard two girls aged about 13 say ‘fandabidozy’ to each other. I’m glad some parents are bringing their children up correctly.
