the cruel paradox of lemon & ginger tea being the only thing that makes me feel better when I've got a cold, and my deep and abiding loathing for lemon & ginger tea 🤧

I've been stuck at home ill and watching Pluribus because my friend let me in on their Apple TV family plan, and I would immediately 100% join the weird alien hivemind, I fear, sign me up no questions asked

Just a blocked drain outside, blocking the condensation pipe, no new boiler needed!!! 🥳
Boiler repair guy is here and making a lot of shocked and horrified noises 😅

My sister and I have talked about this before - we think it might be why I’m more of a reader than she is, because when I read a book I see the story playing out in my mind’s eye, but she doesn’t! She says she mostly just like…hears the words in her head? Like someone is reading them to her? Weird
What’s your score on the apple test?

silver lining; I AM grateful the boiler broke when it was not yet actually freezing - it's cold as a witch's tit in here, but we're still juuuust in the positives this morning and it looks like it's not gonna dip below until tonight, fingers crossed the boiler guy coming round tomorrow can fix it 🤞
my boiler just packed in, because apparently life truly is just being repeatedly kicked in the head over and over again until I die

I’ve had a mild headache and weirdly stiff neck for 3 days now and, infuriatingly, literally every thing I type my symptoms into is like ‘yeah that’s a stress headache, classic example’

like noooo I need it to be fixable with a Pill of some kind please, there’s no pill to fix my entire life 😩

in the only good thing to happen this year, Cadbury has apparently replaced the Eclairs with weeny little Flake bars in the Miniature Heroes?? This box may be overpriced and shrinkflationed to all hell, but at least it’s 100% bangers now 😋

UK politics is insane to me because every time I tune in even 1% to keep appraised of what's happening there the headlines are all like "GOVERNMENT MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO WATCH KISSING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE TO PROTECT WOMEN AND GIRLS" and then in tiny font underneath "NHS budget cut by 75% next year"

‘Career path’ lol
‘Choosing’ lmao

Mum mentioned there was a Saturday job going at the library where she worked. It was the first job I’d had that didn’t make me consider walking in front of a bus every morning on the way in, so I wormed my way into a full-time job and I’ve been there ever since 🤷‍♀️
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

It’s the exclusive everyone wanted, the story that will win next year’s Pulitzer…

I can reveal London’s giant AI generated Christmas artwork, the subject of much online mockery, is being torn down - and I honestly *genuinely* think you’ll never guess why. www.londoncentric.media/p/ai-artwork...
London's giant AI artwork to be torn down
The bizarre story of why a much-talked-about creation is being torn down. Plus: Docklands Light Railway extension, giant laser stalks the night sky, and more tales of Android phone theft rejection.

very irritating whenever anyone acts like a relative handful of incel nazi internet dwellers are representative of an entire generation. in reality when that generation see a more left-wing option on offer they flock to it
The Greens are winning the support of around half of 18 to 24 year olds.

Reform are on 5%. So much for young people's turn to the right!

And the Young Greens now have 40,000 members - the biggest youth and students wing in British politics

every time I attempt to draw hiragana from memory (don’t even get me started on kanji) I imagine a sad little old Japanese man standing behind me and shaking his head in a disappointed fashion 😅

my phone blowing up this morning with everyone basically yelling the same thing and little videos of snow outside my friends and family members' homes and office windows, I love how snow instantly turns everyone into a big kid 😁
