married to @torsosquirrel.bsky.social TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. Just a cishet autistic white guy trying to listen to the world and be kind. I do DevOps for work, walk and photography for fun. I ask stupid questions, I know and I'm sorry.

Second attempt at shortbread. This time I'm chilling the dough for 2 hours instead of 30 minutes. I need to figure out how to get the biscuits/cookies a uniform size too. Chill the dough before rolling and cutting it?

I'm listening to "It's a Superpower??" satire podcast from the people behind @thedailytism.com and it's an absolute joy! 😊 Relatable from the first minute and full of autistic cringe, but with a fun twist! 😂 Definitely recommend seeking it on your podcast player of choice. ▶️

Because I am TERRIBLE at timing, I am selling my boxed #Transformers Predaking mere DAYS after everyone is all knackered and spent from #TFN! Boxed and complete (haven't even applied stickers!) - selling Due To Broke. Also, please enjoy the description. I am once again Back On My eBay Bullshit.

Predaking action figure. Lots of robots as what turn into beasts have joined together to become a big bloke.. Red/black/yellow colour scheme. Photographed against a blue sofa and a tasteful faux fur rug.The innards of the box of the Predaking action figure. Lots of robots disguised as beasts. Red/black/yellow colour scheme. Photographed against a blue sofa and a tasteful faux fur rug.Box for Predaking action figure. A robot being all dynamic and exciting.Photographed against a blue sofa and a tasteful faux fur rug.Imagine, right, if a load of animals suddenly turned into blokes. It would rock your nut, wouldn't it? Then, right, THEN, imagine if all of those blokes suddenly turned into ONE MASSIVE BLOKE. You wouldn't know what to do with yourself, would you? You're just not cut out to cope with that. None of us are!

Finally, you can bring this mystifiying horror to your home with this Transformers Power of the Primes Predaking set. It has been transformed* into The Big Lad and back again, to make sure everything worked, but apart from that it's untouched. The stickers haven't been applied, so you get the giddy thrill of applying shiny new stickers, and the guns are still attached to the packaging with the little plastic wossnames. Incidentally, the other little plastic wossnames that held the figures in place are also included, if that's the kind of weird you roll with.

Selling to clear some space and because I'm broke. It's an excellent combination of states to be in and I highly recommend it.

*Not 'converted'. Come on, now. What are we doing?

@thedailytism.com of course I posted that before I got to the *other* scene that made tears appear in my eyes. Big Feels episode has Big Feels. And seriously super seriously all of you are wonders. I don't want to get weirdly parasocial but you're all so good!

@thedailytism.com @brainmage.bsky.social oh, Wilder :'( (Episode 4) 🫂 (Now for my inner Sophie to apologize for potentially spoiling something and offer to delete this post if people are upset at me!) (Seriously, Mr Kelly you rock!)

The Guillotine Lock in Todmorden, situated on the Rochdale Canal, represents a combination of industrial necessity and engineering ingenuity. Officially known as Lock 19 it was modified in the 1920s because the nearby road bridge was widened causing builders to innovate.
