Songs about the Icelandic Yule Cat are *so* metal-coded! 😼

Thanks Vicky! I am having a quiet cosy day - feels v apt but also sorely needed. Hope you have a lovely day too.

Thanks, it’s a beautiful place!

Side note: does anyone else find it slightly odd that Rolling Stone are commenting on academia?!

I was at Amsterdam airport earlier waiting on my delayed flight home to Scotland, and bizarrely they were showing this clip on a loop on the screen by my gate! 😅

I don’t, but I really hope so!

I always find it funny that they built Cramond Kirk *directly* on top of the Roman ruins 😂

Thanks! It’s a slight reworking of an essay I spent a lot of time researching for my postgrad studies. Glad you enjoyed reading it!

With a zip placement like that, you might as well kiss goodbye to your valuables 🙈

My suggestion? Watch less of the whole lot! The BBC is notoriously biased and has been for a long time. You’d think folk would be able to hold them to account more, given how they are funded…

Ditto!

Thanks! I think the longer I go without, the easier it is tbh. I drank a fair bit in my 20s & 30s but as I got older the hangovers defo got worse. I also lived with an alcoholic, which made me confront my own relationship with it. I stopped largely for health reasons and very glad I did.

7 years is a really amazing achievement - congrats!

Over the last few years I’d been gradually tapering off my intake of alcohol but after doing Dry January earlier this year I decided to just keep going, and surprisingly it’s *mostly* been successful.

Yep.

Nice! I have some muscle balm from Bristol CBD that I like 💚
