The aurora alert is currently high red for the UK. Should be picking up on camera!
Tried to show Will The Monster Squad (film, 1987) and now we're watching The Monster Squad (Series, 1976), which I was completely unaware of until just now.
Having grown up in Wales, I can testify that if you are actually worried about your culture and history being under threat, the thing to do is write poetry and songs, perform plays, tell stories and organise festivals, not just sit around whining.
Also discovered that a certain rather popular herb gets rid of almost all my pain. Not sure how to tell that to the GP but I guess I'm looking at one of the prescription services!

Mary Epworth@maryepworth.bsky.social · 2d agoDo feel like I might be getting close to a big health breakthrough though, which is potentially a good thing. I feel like I finally understand the BASTARD fatigue that has been trying to ruin my life.
There should be a way of putting money on your eventual chronic illness diagnosis.
I have a few situations in my life at the moment that make me worried, but I'm wired to catastrophise and so I'm trying to adopt a new mantra that is "I don't as yet have enough data to know about this". My Dad would have approved.
just do asbestos you can! (i'll show myself out)
I love my elderly uncle but he really wants to speak to me urgently and at length about asbestos in Australia, and I'm less keen, especially as both of us live in England.
Where does ‘Authentic Folk Voice’ originate? You hear it all the time on telly when they want to make some countryside footage feel old and authentic, I’d assumed they got it from some sixties folk types singing in their local accent, but Martin Carthy (for eg) is from Hatfield.
It is time to listen to Caroline by Lime. youtu.be/ze75n9wL3bk?...

In other news, the top of my head is cold. This is a sensation I have not experienced for a while.
Off for a covid booster via the cemetery where the squirrel with no ears lives!
Ran out of TV (watched it all) so going for a second view of Moon Knight!
My hokas are still waterproof! I learned this just now as my dog pissed on my boot.
Thinking of all my fellow 'can't regulate my own body temperature' friends in these continually trying times.

For 'professional' reasons, I am a member of lots of small town Facebook groups. This bloke has been appearing in towns across Sussex (Horsham, Redhill, Crawley, East Grinstead) with no apparent explanation. This is precisely why I stay subscribed to these groups.
Ready for today's episode of 'AI is vile'? An Uber driver used AI to generate songs about their fart fetish, to play to passengers. Apparently this is not the first time someone has used this method. www.instagram.com/reel/DeHPDD9...

Oh god this documentary Buried with Michael Sheen is just... I don't have words.
TIL the term for things like "PIN number" and "ATM machine" is "RAS syndrome"- "Redundant Acronym Syndrome syndrome".
i love to be moving in a way that requires my family to bury me in a lead lined coffin in a year
Pale Horsie@palehorsie.bsky.social · 7d agoWell fuck 😐; futurism.com/future-socie...
I'm looking for a figure that shows the order that English words are usually in. I know there was a post on here or the other site years ago, I think for ESL learners...anyone have that? I'm teaching a writing class and that would help a couple of students. TIA!
I feel like this and Nights in White Satin were songs that I assumed, as a kid, were about some mystical thing I would understand as an adult. I suppose they both are in a way.
