Creators! It may be #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth but chest checking is for life.

I've got a fun campaign coming up that's the perfect excuse for some festive chaos. Plus a chance to do good and give back. I'd love you to join, so let's chat!

Hint: 📜🤶💖🍉

Who's interested?

Every day is #NationalBlackCatDay in our house as we're absolutely ruled by this adorable ball of fluff. She has spent the day napping, as is her right as Supreme Overlord and Princess of All She Surveys.

Hermes, a long haired black cat, sits on a yellow blanket on a sofa, looking regal in the sun.

Hermes, long haired black cat, is trying to nap on a grey chair. Unfortunately her owner keeps sticking a camera in her face so she is half looking up at the camera in disdain. She just wants to nap.

It's 1.30am.
Partner is snoring.
Cat is snoring.
I'm staring at the walls.
5 year old niece is due over in 9 hours and I need to take my adhd meds in 5 hours.

EGX was overwhelming enough today. This may be the thing that finally breaks me this week.

Send white noise and melatonin, please.

My old work bestie is called Ella. Some people couldn't tell us apart. We don't look alike, had different but related jobs.

Guy at my dance class couldn't recall my name. Asked if it was Rachel or Ella. He's never met Ella.

Apparently I have "big Ella energy."

Who even am I?! Am I actually Ella?!

October is Black Cat Awareness Month, apparently. So I need you all to be aware of how beautiful my black cat it.

It's also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Funny that the acronyms match.

Hermes, a long haired black cat, sits on the stairs gazing off into the distance. She's fixated on something. Probably squirrels.

Got caught in a torrential downpour.

Even with a raincoat and bubble umbrella the barista gave me blue roll to dry my face.

I am done with today and haven't even started

Rach @rachaitch.bsky.social · Aug 12

It's so long ago now I'm not sure, but it was either on a demo disc or in a bundle we got when we were gifted a PS1 for Christmas as kids. I remember the chunky jewel case being one of my most used and worrying I was going to break it!

Happy gotcha day to this absolute cutie. Officially one year of ruling the house, shedding absolutely everywhere and having two fully-grown humans wrapped around her little paw.

Hermes is a long haired black cat. She's lying on her side sticking her tongue out, mid-cleaning.

Hermes is a long-haired black cat. She's sitting nicely looking up and away from the camera. She looks innocent and regal.

Hermes is a long-haired black cat. She's lying on the floor showing off her tail. The look on her face is suggesting she's fed up with her human sticking a camera in her face again. She doesn't want to be perceived.

Hermes is a long haired black cat. She's lying on an armchair that is draped in a grey blanket. She has her front leg stretched out and dangling over the end of the chair. She's giving off an aura of being done with today. Naps only.

Just a princess amongst the flowers, silently judging you for disturbing her communing with nature.

Hermes, a long haired black cat, sits in the grass surrounded by daisies. She looks like the princess she absolutely thinks she is.

Listening to a dude on the train coach and support another male colleague with empathy, gentleness and kindness. This is the wholesome masculinity I want in the world

I went back today for work and had the most amazing time. People were wonderful, my heart was full, and there was so much respect and love. It was everything Pride should be.

Happy Pride, everyone! 🏳️‍🌈

Rach @rachaitch.bsky.social · Jul 5

I stopped going to Pride in London a few years back after some awful experiences. (Simply put: security guard told me bisexuality wasn't real, and drunk heteros asked me to prove my bisexuality by kissing the wife. I don't like being erased or harrassed for entertainment.)

Okay, you win. That is lowkey terrifying as well as irritating.

Unsolicited?!

Rach @rachaitch.bsky.social · Jun 17

I keep banging this drum but still people think it's an acceptable tactic!

I don't like LinkedIn at the best of times, but can we PLEASE stop with the voicenotes in LinkedIn DMs.

I don't listen to voicenotes from my actual friends. I'm definitely not listening to your voicenote about how your service will revolutionise my charity.

It was so great to see you again! Thank you for yelling my name when I was feeling very lost in a very busy room - really appreciated not having to wander around feeling lost for too long

Home from Twitch Con 5 minutes and someone has already conned me into doorstep time.

Had an amazing time but missed my fluffbutt 🩷 the Rotterdam TCEU vibes were perfect this year

Hermes, a long haired black cat, photographed from behind. She's sitting on pavement, trying to look innocent, and the photographer (me) is blatantly sitting on a doorstep to take a picture from this angle.

Picked up my #TwitchConEU badge for the first time with my new work account and this is absolutely the pic I sent the work group chat. Giving total professional, serious biz-e-ness vibes
