It’s humiliating that due to that disastrous December and a whole bunch of work cancelling on me, and people playing late that I’m *again* in a position where I’m short for my rent and bills. So if you’ve enjoyed my stuff on here and you’re not signed up to my patreon and have a couple of ££ spare my ko-fi is http://www.ko-fi.com/bethanyblack and you’re an absolute life saver. Paypal is the better payment than stripe for this one as stripe takes 3 working days to pay out

My wife at the dinner table “did you see, Nikki Hayley dropped out of the race… to be the 6th Backstreet boy”

She then laughed so hard I thought I might have to take her back to hospital

@PetraPhoenix I’m sorry

For anyone around 40-50 from the North West: I drove past Charnock Richard Cycles today and heard the song in my head

@vagina_museum brava

The 16 minutes of footage depicted courtship and copulation between the two octopuses. Both octopuses were male. And they were of entirely different species, with quite a drastic size difference. One octopus was 38cm long and white. The other was 180cm long and a brownish colour. The smaller octopus was topping.

It’s been over a week now, at some point I expect Sandra Hüller’s monologue from Anatomy of A Fall to stop playing in my head whenever I try to relax. “You complain about the life you chose, but you are not the victim. Not at all! Your generosity conceals something dirtier and meaner…”

That’ll go at some point. Yeah. At some point.

@owenblacker absolutely this I feel like it’s the proximity that makes it invisible. It’s such a European view of of how America sees itself

today's #366Films, I'm still a day behind but I'll catch up, honest. Today I talk about American insularity and Starship Troopers https://www.patreon.com/posts/366-films-day-62-99783133?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

I’ve only got one more movie to watch and I’ve seen all the best picture Nominees for 2024.

I’m going to be so annoyed when Oppenheimer wins

@PetraPhoenix I’m sure we will, Sanna’s getting out of Hospital today

Good morning

I survived the night 😁

Not sure if this is an autism thing or just a PTSD thing, but I still get terrified when I’m in the house on my own. To the same degree you do when you’re a child and horror movies *could* be real.

Had to call an ambulance earlier, the dispatcher said “if you have any dogs keep them locked away” I said “I don’t” she said “I heard a cat” I said “yeah, but so long as the paramedic’s not Stuart Little it should be fine” she laughed

Anyway nothing any of you need to worry about

@ianbetteridge it’s for this reason I’m really enjoying the death of the internet. We really took the the power to communicate more widely than any time in history and said “what if everyone carried a little box that let them start a fight at any time with anyone anywhere in the world”

@rhempel it’s the whole reason I bought the set
