I bought a 2D miniature of my D&D character and a pouch for my various dice sets, so I guess at nearly 30 years old I’m a proper dweeb now.

Spoke proudly of how I’d never in my life cracked or smashed a phone screen on the train down to Manchester for Damnation fest only for me to get full of the shandies and drop my phone face down on the Sunday, leaving my mobile looking like it’s suffered the wrath of a shotgun blast. Canny write it.

Seeing cogs of the imperial core posting "political violence has no place in our society" almost two years into a genocide they've been aiding and abetting. Man, fuck you.

Injured myself two weeks ago and it’s severely hindered my mobility and comfort. Missed out on work because of it. Felt a bit of an impending MH episode for a while now but the injury sparked the fuse, and I’ve honestly felt miserable.
Be honest with yourselves about burnout and how you’re doing.

My best pal invented a card game in the pub today and I think I’m obsessed?

Joined a march last weekend because I thought it was for people who were super loyal to their friends and family and wanted to play a wee bit of music. Turns out there’s actually quite serious sectarian undertones involved though? Boy, was I embarrassed!

Was back in Dumfries for the weekend. Got shat on by a seagull for the first time in years. Don’t know why I expected anything different, but at least I got an absolutely bangin’ Chinese on my visit.

If you have turned a new leaf and want to get a nazi/white supremacist tattoo covered up I think it should be a rule that the artist has to be a POC - and idk, maybe they get to choose what covers it unless you’re a bitch?

People are often surprised to find out I literally only exercise (like properly go to the gym and work out) for 1 hour a week, but that’s sort of all I really have time for. Point is I do it every week. Consistency gets you so much further than insane workout plans or horrible crash diets ever will.

Got a lot of time for how consistently Scotland successfully tell right-wing politicians, crawling up from south of the wall, to get themselves away to fuck.
Don’t let them convince you otherwise, folk are alright.

Scrubbed up alright on Saturday for a good friend’s wedding reception, I think. Too goth? Don’t be silly.

I’ve worked 50-57 hours on average almost every week for the last 3 years between two jobs. I don’t have some lavish champagne lifestyle, why am I always broke and why is it impossible to actually accumulate any savings? Symptom of a broken society, but fuck me, when does it end?

Always happy to hear ignorant fucks are being drowned out in Glasgow. Makes me wish I could still attend demos and counter-demos as freely as I used to, showing solidarity for folks in need is important now, as ever. If you can show support, please do. Don’t give hate an inch of Glasgow’s streets.

Went to get more of my back tattooed today. Think it’s the first time in my life I’ve been early for a tattoo and I know you’re not supposed to drink beforehand but the sexual tension between me and the beer garden is as electric.

“Island of strangers”
I moved to a city from my hometown for a number of reasons but people from other parts of the world have so much more in common with me than a whole bunch of folks I grew up next to do, and I found that out FROM TALKING TO THEM.
