I'm a mountain man I like mountain dulcimer
Man with weirdly dark beard walks up, Iwan directs him to where the boat leaves from "Are you going to say what I think you're going to say?" "Was that tatooed on?" "Yeah... Incredible"
Disappointed to hear about Jordan Peterson Nothing has happened to him, I was just disappointed to hear about him this evening
To be fair this mob does have exceptional taste, but it doesn't take massive resources to make great posters! Preaching to the choir I know but somebody ought to show the facebook boomers these.
Tamsin Wilson@tamsinwilson.bsky.social · 4mo agoVery excited for my costumes to be part of this Reet Northern folky May Day Party. If you're in London & looking for something fun May 2nd the parade from Highbury and Islington Station is at 5pm and free, and the extraordinary lineup of acts is at the Mildmay Club from 6pm.

Thinking about all the piss yellow morris posters boomers love reminded me of this decline and fall. With digital graphic design tools should come a great responsibility.
Can't believe it's been 11 months since I did a search for "morris dancing", unless I somehow missed this gem:
Patrick Clarke@paddyclarke.bsky.social · 12mo agoFor @thequietus.com today, I wrote an essay about why we should stop scoffing about morris dancing, and instead view it as something radical, transgressive, and powerful enough to completely alter one's brain
Crazy how many opportunites just emerge in the city even if some guys are just a little bit deep in their cups and not entirely serious. The cabal of friends trying to get me to move from the literal and figuratihe will win. Mashing the ejection seat button as we speak.
Hurting morale and sowing discord by flooding the zone with people who don’t get anyone’s jokes

We should hire me to do seasonal firefighting instead of picking this fucking season to """"restructure"""" (downsize) the NPWS brigade
Zali Steggall@zalisteggall.bsky.social · last wk.Australia cannot wait like a sitting duck for the next Black Summer. We are among the world’s most fire-prone nations, and climate disasters already cost us $40 billion each year. We must cut emissions by accelerating renewables, storage and electrification, and ending reliance on coal, oil and gas.
"Trickle-down stupidity" just like that time one of the homeschoolers pissed in the cave
Wayne Denno@dennowayne.bsky.social · last wk.My 43 years experience in education affirms this is largely true: “Homeschooling is trickle-down stupidity.” - Jennifer Welch
Some of the youths asked who Morrissey was the other day so I said "he's a guy who wants all the non-whites expelled from Britain so he can rehome Australia's feral cat population"
André Brett@drdrehistorian.bsky.social · last wk.I'm a jangle pop fan who never liked The Smiths because I can't stand Morrissey's vocals. I'm a Pink Floyd fan who always thought The Wall and The Final Cut were their worst albums and got *so* much shit from Roger Waters fans. But here's Cleese to ensure I have the "childhood hero sucks" experience
I hope the normies keep calling fuel/hazard reduction burns "backburning" so I can instantly spot clowns on social media
People from work shouldn't follow me so they don't know about me intending to pull the pin on the boat but they should see this one post

Still laughing about the no-nonsense, anti-woke, conservative..... musical theatre audience
ambush site picnic train attack@picnictrain.bsky.social · 3w agoFound in FB comments: "Go woke, go broke. It's not any more complicated than that. Broadway went too far left for many customers. Tried to be shocking instead of focusing on good scripts, good acting, and quality scores. Top it off with high ticket prices and there you have it!" lmao

Gone from developing a really good pokerface to barely containing my contempt for people over a matter of weeks.
Was thinking about things I shouldn't put in the dishwasher, thought about how I did such a good job hiding my inherited bone handled knives from everyone that would damage them (including my OWN MOTHER WHO WAS THE ONE THAT TOLD ME NOT TO LEAVE THEM IN THE SINK) that I haven't seen them in years
Watching seppo cocktail stuff and listening to them say luk'rrrrr over and over is painful
I think the "get james back to civilisation" conpiracists might be winning out
Dunno if I've just fucked the algo but the discover tab is aggressively middle aged
Wonder if airport guys have people rocking up to completely the wrong airport going but it says "gate 6" because they do it with wharves in Sydney.
The Captain Cook's crew are a frosty bunch. To be fair they're probably miserable working for Kelsian Group, which is even worse if you're not in the RMW boots set than NRMA. Plenty of people jump ship to us, never heard of anyone going the other way.
The Italian restaurant across from my post at the wharf was blasting the godfather theme tune and it took all my strength of will not to say to the customer "you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married..."
