I discovered a bizarre answer to this today! Got advertised a new local lingerie brand what bizarrely had Bible verses all over everything. I thought that was odd until I realised sexy underwear is obviously acceptable in an extremist religious context if they're reclaiming it from the Trans Devils
An Instagram post - it's red text on a yellow background and reads "Batya Intimates exists to design modest, feminine lingerie that honours the body, uplifts the soul, and reflects the sacred beauty of womanhood. Through intentional design, faith-rooted storytelling, and a women-only space, we help women reclaim confidence, dignity, and divine self-love."

Does this count as a life update?

My turn now.
Does this function as a public apology @danmckee.bsky.social ?
A cropped screenshot of a text on whatsapp sent by me that reads "So yes, less of a case of "Am I crazy?" and more a case of "In which way am I crazy?"" With a laughing emoji at the end

What happens when @danmckee.bsky.social and I are still taking at midnight
A screenshot of whatsapp messages sent to me. It's a meme picture of a cat looking half suspicious, half deeply pleased with itself, followed by a message that reads "Right I'm going to bed. It's all gone mad. What a wonderful chat this was."

Repost this with your significant other (not really - but I wish)
Rik Mayall as Robin Hood and Kate Moss as Maid Marian in a promotional shot for Blackadder Back and Forth. She's wearing a white blouse with puffy sleeves and matching brown suede waistcoat and trousers, with plaits in her hair. He's wearing a hat with a feather and green tunic with a shirt underneath, sleeves rolled up. He has a mustache and golden curls. He's flashing a sultry look at the camera while holding her from behind with one arm over hers with his hand on her shoulder and the other wrapped around her waist with his hand on her stomach and her hand on top.

Nah sorry, this is entirely unacceptable phrasing.
(Also, ow my ribs hurt from laughing now)

Oh go on, I haven't got a clue.

No, come on, that wasn't even 20 minutes before another complaint!
A bluesky reply from me which reads "So much complaining from men who are exactly the ages men are most attractive at! You're all mad!" It is timestamped for 18 minutes ago

I have a differing view on this.
Screenshot of whatsapp messages from me. They read "What ever happened to all the foot pervs? I've gone from one extreme to the other, seems to be nothing in between. Before Covid I couldn't move for foot pervs. Now there's a conspiracy theory nobody's put forward yet."

It's certainly not as bad as what's just happened to you but I received this entirely unprompted whatsapp message from my grandmother today. I haven't yet determined if she was joking or not. Thought you might appreciate it
A whatsapp message that reads "Start writing for Telemundo and progress from there"

Well now, look what's just made its way all the way from Australia to my door in South Africa - a much needed and flamboyant apology! Didn't expect @watsoncomedian.bsky.social handwriting to look like that 🤔 (Thank you so much @king-trish.bsky.social 💙)
A postcard featuring Mark Watson's shit rainbow painting from Taskmaster The back of the postcard. It reads "Oh Hi Charlie! Writing from the Melbourne Comedy Festival. I've taken some time to reflect on my poorly considered insistence that my 'rainbow' was acceptable. Trish is, of course, 100% correct and I apologise unreservedly." In completely different handwriting at the bottom, it says "Love," with Mark Watson's signature and, in brackets, +Trish

7. The Greasy Strangler

For some reason, this became one of my comfort movies. Don't let that fool you - it's horrible. But also so, so funny
Still from the film The Greasy Strangler. A grey haired man dances on the street in a spotlight. He's wearing a purple velour jumpsuit that has the crotch cut out to display his enormous penis - the tip of which is tucked into his pant leg.

6. Fritz the Cat

Animated, yes, but NSFW
A still from the animated film Fritz the Cat. Various anthropomorphic animals have an orgy in a bath while Fritz leans out of the tub being grumpy.
