The Taskmaster fandom’s been all over this one for yonks, and I *know* there are a ton of us on Bluesky. (Although mostly already covered under “deeply horny polycule.”)

Don’t you dare apologise for banging on about this! We want to hear about what you’re up to or else we wouldn’t follow you!

Might be inclined to dress more nicely if I weren’t made to shed my belt and shoes while getting shouted at by TSA agents.

That’s a good choice. I’d be hard pressed to pick one, but it would likely be a large wading bird (sandhill crane, great blue heron, great egret all strong contenders) or a corvid.

Oh god, Double Deckers. It's probably a good thing that none of the import aisles in my local shops carry them.

They're missing Fry's Turkish Delight and I disagree with their Aunty's flavour choices... but they do have my controversial favourite tea.

Mine is much less elaborate! I just had to make the arduous decision between Playful Primaries, Energy Boost, Supernova, and Summer Joy. (Leaving the possibility open to purchase another, if 4 colours prove to be insufficient.)

Aside from the unrealistic numbers of Christmas tree farms, it's certainly better odds than watching Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum up there.

Do any of them contain toothpaste, marbles, or pictures of Greg?

It unfortunately triggers my motion sickness SEVERELY. It’s such a shame, the game design is really cool!

Happy birthday! Please enjoy this traditional slice of birthday lasagna.

Yeah, I kind of like it myself. Also a fan of the salty, decaying scent of washed-up seaweed baking in the sun.

Oh, I just made a thread about three of my favourites! Bubble, Ronstadt, and Alice Isn't Dead. They're all in the basic vein of "modern day problems, complicated by the existence of monsters."

Did you enjoy both One Minute Away and Buffy The Vampire Slayer? I present Bubble, the monster slaying gig economy corporate dystopia podcast by Jordan Morris. This one got me into the format of serialised podcasts, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Oh, I love this! I've never thought about doing bobble stitch tapestry! I might need to try!

What if you pace back and forth continuously while on the ferry?
