I am never setting foot in that country ever again, lol
This is the full list of info the US is proposing to require from applicants for an ESTA (electronic travel authorisation) to secure visa-free travel to America. This would apply to every UK holidaymaker, conference attendee or businessperson. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22461.pdf

Things I didn’t have on my bingo card for the day:
Having to explain to my mum that edibles are THC-based and she will not drop acid like she seems to worry she will, she will not have a heart attack, she will not have an aneurysm. I’m still laughing about her sheepish questions. I love her.

I’m not gonna call myself a clairvoyant here because it really didn’t require the gift of foresight to clock what was happening, but… ya know. Media literacy. I’m going to need y’all to put your hand to your heart and swear that you’ll be a little more critical of the next hate train.

“Was Skåne still Danish?”
“No honey, grandma isn’t that old.”

It’s a normal evening, and I fear we’re in for a patented @bearlawyer.bsky.social history lesson.

Ah yes, the horrors of children on public transport, I guess? However we here in Europe survive with all these trains and busses and boats and whatnot, the absolute torture we put our children through on the regular.
Bus and bike lanes discriminate against families for whom public transportation is not an option.

Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch! I was there when it was written.
@luxwinter.bsky.social has been busting her butt making a magnificent advent calendar for the Cubs. Minor just opened #1 and found Ancient Tech in form of a tamagotchi. She seems fairly thrilled by it and I'm suddenly getting flashbacks to middle school and a time when they were all the rage.

I do not have biological kids, and I’ve never had a super strong want for them. I was very indifferent to having them and my parents always knew and (bless their hearts) never pressured me.
Anyways, this year is the first Christmas with step grandkids for them and they are positively losing it.

So, uh… at the moment, the only way to turn on the kitchen light is by dialing the leftmost stovetop plate to 2, and the setting of the extractor fan determines how bright the light is.

Do I call an electrician or a priest?

I’ve been rewatching the hunger games franchise as I’m still tripsitting the cat while she’s on morphine and it’s so funny to me how the immersiveness of Panem is entirely reliant on the obliviousness of Americans.

Tales from the K-hole - the cat is mostly off her post-surgery trip now, but please enjoy these works of art.

It’s the middle of the night and I cannot sleep because for the first time in her life, the antique cat has chosen to stretch along my entire body, pressed against me, purring her little heart out. I just cannot fathom the thought of accidentally moving her while I sleep.

All-nighter it is!

I’m back to tripsitting the cat and my god, I want whatever they gave her. She’s currently bouncing around like a kitten while very softly meowing at a plush wombat. She’s tapping it as well, and gave it a few licks. Then she tried to hurl herself off the desk, which given her age isn’t ideal.

The cat is fine and made it out of surgery and is currently tripping balls.
The cat, however, also flatlined, died, and came back not after proper resuscitation, but only after the vet yelled at her not to “die, you beast.”
Vet says she isn’t convinced that Mia isn’t a demon or deity.
Today’s the day, Mia has dental surgery to rob her of her last tooth. I’m eerily worried this time around, so I’m basically just posting here because all of you have become my “antique cat needs surgery” good luck charms.

Just dropped her off, feeling like the worst cat parent in existence.

Dear Reddit, how do I (33F) get my cat (21F) to stop knocking on heaven’s door all the goddamn time when clearly she has no intention of dying?

Anyways, surgery on Tuesday, Miss Mia’s last remaining tooth seems to have to go. Pretty sure I caught her browsing Amazon for nunchucks earlier.

Taking the cat to the vet because on top of everything, the cat has developed an infected tooth (which isn’t covered by insurance).

Do y’all think I can ask the vet for a little treat? A little bit of euthanasia for me? A dash of Euthasol straight to the veins? Please? As a treat?

The last five years have been one big Monday. I guess at least the trauma made me funny.

I joked yesterday about how I was suspicious of my car, given how long there hadn’t been any issues. Given I’ve just lost my livelihood and was forced to move, it feels like the car is brewing something up to suit the occasion.

Anyways, today my very expensive bike got stolen.

As a total aside to a super important post: it is so wild to me that the term “Kristallnacht” is still used in the anglosphere. My skin crawls a little every time I read it.

So y’all recall I got fired by my manager, who also happens to be the boyfriend of my team mate and direct competitor? Anyways, guess who inherited all my old contact leads and is now farming commission on them, and guess into which household that commission flows?
