Just thought it was really cool to have the main theme interpreted by each of the host cities. Sana makagawa din tayo ng ganito.

Remembered a friend who once bought a Lush bath bomb and ended up panicking in the bath because everything became slimy and slippery. 😅

Adam Ellis @adamtots.bsky.social · 16d

Once a year I decide to get scammed by Lush again and I buy a bunch of bath bombs that cause dermatitis and make it look like I got diarrhea in the bathtub

Your art is beautiful! Take a rest if you must. Explore new things if you want to, but I hope you can come back! Those "simple" drawings bring us so much joy.

Concerned orange. 🍊 Photo from my collection, 1967.

Faded, warm toned color photo of a shorthaired orange tuxedo tabby sitting on a speckled linoleum floor next to a wooden table and chairs. It’s very pretty and looks off to the right with a slightly worried expression but relaxed body language.

Nobody needs to blame anyone for that error, especially Kim. No one notices it because plays happen fast. Iran did what it can and had to do to get the point. It's cruel, but those are the breaks of the game. #MWCH #FIVBWCH2025 #Philippines2025

Bluesky needs this Twitter classic from @ellearmageddon.bsky.social.

A flowchart entitled “should you explain the thing to the lady”. The first text box reads “are you an expert or at least well informed”. If the answer is no the corresponding text box says “shh”. If answer is yes the flow chart proceeds to the next text box which reads “did she ask? “. If the answer is yes the corresponding text box says “go ahead”. It’s the answer is no the flow chart proceeds to the next text box reads “are you her tutor, teacher or other for her education?“. If the answer is no, the corresponding text box says “stop talking”. If the answer is yes, the flow chart proceeds to the next text box, “Does she already know what you’re about to say“. If the answer is no the corresponding text box says “explain away” if the answer is “I don’t know” the corresponding text box says “ask” if the answer is yes to “does she already know what you’re about to say” the corresponding text box reads “be quiet“

The cat mayoral race: meet 11 runners and riders in the US’s most furious – and furriest – election

I quit watching this match at 11am after the 3rd set, thought it would be over in 4 sets... Should have kept watching through lunch. 😅

First thing I thought of after this ended was how Alex Eala lost that heartbreaking final set tiebreak in Eastbourne 12-10 after having 4 championship points vs Joint.

This one will feel extra special as she pulls through the match tiebreak this time 13-11 vs Tauson.
