Love it when the ticket you just bought takes longer to load on your phone than your journey so you're stuck at the ticket barrier trying to explain how you're not insane and you can see the live alert saying you've arrived but you can't see your sodding ticket to scan

Had a really valuable work day yesterday but as I was jokingly complaining on the way home about the amount of people who had limp fish handshakes it was pointed out to me that I was wearing a wrist brace and it was more likely everyone was trying really hard to be considerate 🤦

As a millennial I'm convinced that if I watch a single tiktok I will instantly crumble into a fine dust

This is one of the many many many reasons I do not have a dog. It's in the top 10 but not the top 5 tbh

Just to stir the pot: it is hard to train a dog not to be reactive if you are reactive. It is hard to train a dog to emotionally regulate if you are not emotionally regulated.

I feel like a terrible parent reading this and the responses as I refuse to read a bedtime story twice in a row. I will read Burglar Bill 4/7 nights but no more than that and not consecutive nights

John Gallagher@earlymodernjohn.bsky.social · 3d ago

My fourth consecutive bedtime reading a book called Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site and I think I'm just about ready to come out against child literacy. I'm going to become the reverse Dolly Parton and devote my fortune to taking books away from children.

This whole fucking thread goddamit. Every time someone comes at me with 'not all men' I want to smack them in the face with 'at least enough fucking men that for all conceivable purposes it feels like all men so fuck off'

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

But here's the thing: the men being antisocial all the damn time don't listen when a woman tells them to knock it off. They might listen to you, a man. Step up. Say something. Stop making excuses for your passivity.

This is the most important thing men can do, and they must be doing it immediately. People create culture. People can change it. If you can't remember the last time you created some social awkwardness by telling another man to stop with that shit, you probably aren't pulling your weight.

I would like to see more men talking about how to and peer pressuring each other into calling out misogyny and rape culture. Going against social norms is hard, and it helps to share tips and support.

But I don't know anything about tapes or digitisation or anything like that. I don't even know how I would play this. I don't even know if it's still in good enough condition to play. So my question is... How? How do I take these two tapes, this two part performance, and make the choir live again?

I'm going to tell you a story and then, at the end, I'm going to ask you if anyone happens to have the niche knowledge I need to help... The story begins, as so many of my stories do, in an ancient church in the middle of a city. But it's not now. And it's not hundreds of years ago. It's the 1960's

Sorry, I saw your message, but I also saw nineteen other phone alerts that same minute. My brain evolved to evade predators. I will not improve.

Took a shared Uber tonight which was terrifying for my 'ahh people!' brain but was about 4 quid cheaper & they didn't say a word to me so it worked out

Woman easily in her 60s playing the radio out loud from her phone at the bus stop. Social contract is dead y'all

Listened to the Behind the Bastards episodes about Andrew Tate and goddam, 3 years later and he's only just being charged for some of this shit

so today I learned that Canadian engineers take a sacred oath written by Rudyard Kipling which is *clearly* worded to bind them as defenders against the fae. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calling...

Reminder that in Canada upon becoming an engineer you get an iron ring made of a collapsed bridge, purposely designed to be uncomfortable, to remind you that your ethics demand you give a fuck even about the boring grudgework of such as double-checking your math. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring

Being a toddler is just doing things that would get an adult arrested immediately, 24/7

The terror of knowing your phone must be in the building somewhere as your headphones are still working but having no idea where it is

He wanted to bring his tank as well but it wouldn't fit through the gates. No I have no idea why/how he had a collection of WWII military vehicles.

Not assembly: for WWII Day someone's dad brought in his appropriately historical armoured vehicle and we all got to have a sit in In an assembly: half the teachers visibly smashed, one dressed as a Christmas tree, singing Merry Xmas Everybody up on stage

Bizarre things that happened in your assembly: A neighbour of one of the teachers gave us a five-minute lecture about kwashiorkor which involved him reciting a list of his favourite words (yes, ‘kwashiorkor’ was one of them). Included the unforgettable phrase, “Diarrhoea, another beautiful word.”

Fuck yeah.

Finished my training course just after 3. Was fiscally responsible and booked super off peak train back (travel after 7pm). Been at the station for an hour and the next train projected to go anywhere near my way is after 9pm. Fuck it I'm having a beer.
