People don’t like hearing that being financially secure massively improved someone’s mental health because it socialises a problem we prefer to individualise.

Yeah, I kinda thought that was the point, something a bit different from the usual k-con set? Oh well. He looks very pretty with his princely hair, the red flash under a black suit was cool, and he sounded great, as usual

Had an Icelandic couple lodge with us during Edinburgh Festival. They spotted the Columbo boxset and put it on out of curiosity. Ended up skipping the festival to finish the boxset before they left 😁

Started watching Columbo. This may be the greatest show ever made. My prior Columbo experience outside of pop culture osmosis is Peter Falk in Wings Of Desire. Wenders told us the truth: he was an angel.

Fabulous! I particularly like that Granny Weatherwax and Taemin exist in the same universe 🤭

Day 17 of #AScareADay is “The Mystery of the Blue Jar” by Agatha Christie.

A ghost story—or is it a crime story? The twist in this one felt remarkably similar to yesterday’s story, “The Accusing Voice”

Hospitals are bringing masks back because Covid never left!

But we:

❌ Ignore Covid risks
❌ Don’t clean the air
❌ Deny vaccines to most Clinically Vulnerable
❌ Treat masking as “personal choice” (even HCWs)

It isn’t Living with Covid
It feels like neglect
#KeepCovidBoosters

We have re-introduced mask wearing in some areas

Please wear a mask where you see this poster

Thank you

"Masks remain available for patients, visitors and staff. Please wear a mask in this area"

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

From what I've seen, nobody believes what anybody else is saying

It's very worrying 😞

Someone asked me why I talk to my cats because, in their words, “It’s not like your pets understand what you are saying.”

Suffice to say, there comes a time when a friendship has simply run its course.

Ooooh those are nice influences to have! I'm quite good on films made before about 1972, and music made before 1995 - it's not intentional, I just get distracted!!

So you want to support living marginalized banned authors but your local banned books week displays and events are full of famous dead people?

A more complete translation of what Taemin said about growing out his hair. Until his collarbone and that the possibility is high this time 😭😭😭

Excerpt of Taemin bubble call translation by iheartshinee_ "his hair is in that awkward length right now so he plans to grow it out longer until his collarbone. he says that he has never grew it out that long before so he wants to try it out. the long hair he had in the past were
extensions. he has ever grew out his fringe and the sides but not the back. he says it's the first time he is growing out his hair overall. "maybe it will feel/look different if it's my own hair (when it grows out long), whenever he wants to grow out his hair long there will always be something that he had to cut his hair for so he didnt have a chance so far. he feels that the possibility is high this time. he was asking fans to choose between him fringe up and down".
