Global warming is real, I know this because I haven't bought a new hoodie in years.

If the dog from The Tweenies was real it would be long dead by now.
Sometimes I feel like I have been disconnected from publishing (in as little as I was connected to it in the first place) for so long that the very language of talking about books has changed even those speaking it haven't, and I have no receipts, evidence or examples to qualify that.
Great, now I want a sandwich. Not sure that was the point.
Nick Sheridan@thenicksheridan.bsky.social · 2w agoHow to be an artist: 1) Set up your workspace so it is absolutely perfect. Sharp pencils are more important that what you do with them 2) Pick either Ko-Fi or TipJar, and build a website around that 3) Plan a few answers for difficult convention questions 4) Go have a sandwich, you've earned it

I feel like there's two types of Last Day of Holiday, those that feel like an entire summer that will never end, and those that blink by far too fast.
One thing to which I always look forward at the end of a hotel holiday is getting to have breakfast at sometime other than between 07:30 and 07:35.
The British people who base their star rating for locations in other countries on how well the staff speak English need to stop doing that, it's confusing for those of us who *don't* want to be babied wherever we go.
If it wasn't for social media I would have long ago lost touch with a whole bunch of people I don't care about anymore.
Apparently this is about video games development or something, I dunno, I was already nodding at the title alone

A lot of the time I don't *want* to talk about my holiday with work colleagues like I'm being interviewed, sorry. It's my holiday, I'd like to keep it to me.
I wasn't alive to remember the heatwave of 1972, which is good because based on the vast majority of belligerent assholes banging on about it, it wasn't a great time to know people.
If your sole contribution is to go "But 1972!" then you have brought nothing to the table but a decreased number of chairs.

The continued popularity of the Backrooms is just more proof that modern American youth are starved for viable third place options.
I can't wait for today to be over so I can complain that the weekend is moving too fast.
It is so weird to START drinking at 3am instead of STILL being drinking at 3am. By which I mean I am off on holibobs with a larger group than I've ever been with since school camps
I really need to start writing more poetry for upcoming summer events. *sits for 15 minutes imagining positive post-event feedback* That oughta do it.
Nobody heard him, the stripey man, But still he lay moaning: I was much more hard to find than you thought And not Waldo but Wally.
The table over from me just got their enthusiasti-drunk mate to pay for a round by saying "Whoever has a birthday this year gets the next one!" #Nottingham
One of my primary Broken Elder Millennial traits is not understanding people who can use headphones in public to calm their anxiety. Like I literally need to be aware of every single external sound so I know where the (inevitable, surely?) danger is going to come from.
The kind of cognition of which I am capable this week is basically summed up by "Why does #Eastercon always have to be on the bank holiday?!" I am not there.
