Helpless before books like these
What a dopamine hit to hear the first few notes (and of course the rest of the album) of one of your favourite albums of all time on vinyl for the first time
25th Anniversary edition of Useful Music by Josh Joplin Group
i’m a leftovers eater now

This week I ran 5K for the first time!
You know what, I feel like I have ended the year in a slightly better personal place than where I started it.
I mean look at these beautiful home made chips
Just rediscovered the video of the high schooler singing an amazing a capella version of “No Children” by the Mountain Goats in their high school talent show: youtu.be/LWxyMFLdxvg
And I've been using this list as a resource to find books with she/her animals: bookswithbaby.com/2018/02/06/1...
There is an interesting analysis with data of this phenomenon of the vast majority of animals in children's books being boys here: pudding.cool/2025/07/kids...
I find it bizarre how almost all animal characters in children's books still use he/him pronouns
Especially as human representation in kids' books is so diverse! Male is still the default when it comes to animals (& I've also observed this when other adults talk about the kids' animal toys to them)
Favourite name of the moment: Seel(e)y
A character in the book I’m currently reading (“Hot Dog Girl” by Jennifer Dugan) and an album I’m enjoying (“GpYr” by Josh Joplin Group)
Possibly from the Middle English word meaning “happy” (same origin as “silly”)
Nice sound, meaning, and gender neutral!
On the plus side, twins and triplets are very well represented
We need queer representation in Sylvanian Families
coincidentally music hasn't been as good since when I was at my peak emotional vulnerability in my late teens and early twenties
Solidarity with my colleagues in @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social who are striking as a result of the university refusing to rule out compulsory redundancies ✊
Disability is not a 'brave struggle' or 'courage in the face of adversity.' Disability is an art. It's an ingenious way to live.
Disability is a portal, a way of focusing our gaze and sharpening our lens on the intricacies of our humanity.

On my way to yet another picket line as this week’s round of strikes starts again. Management are still refusing to reopen negotiations with the unions. #ICLstrike
Friends at Sheffield Hallam University are on strike, having lost over 1000 members of staff over the last 2 years
I can’t believe I forgot to tell you when I was updating you about my recent life news that I got an air fryer!
It has been as good as everyone says it is. Highly recommend particularly if you love beige food.
A rainbow coloured pill organiser with different compartments for each day of the week a.m. and p.m. In the Tuesday p.m. compartment, which is open, is a capsule pill. I looked it up online and it is omeprazole.
Bought a “brand new” pill organiser off eBay and it arrived with a pill already in it
you’ve earned your Couch to 5K medal. illustration of a gold medal with a running shoe on it.
screenshot from the Couch to 5K app. text Reads: Week 9 • Run 3 You've graduated! You've done it! You are an official Couch to 5K Graduate. What an achievement! From 60 seconds to 30 minutes of continuous running - you should be so proud of how far you have come on your journey. Congratulations.

Graduated Couch to 5K this morning!
The programme gets you running for 30 mins rather than 5K, so for me it’s been “Couch to 3.5K” as that’s how far I actually get in 30 minutes…
Next goal: actually 5K!
#C25K
Finally returned these forms two weeks ago and they're sending them back to me because I did not fill them out completely enough
Usually I love a form but I could not answer questions such as on a scale from 0-5 how did my difficulties affect me at school. That is a TEXT BASED ANSWER question
I WILL NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE!!! I WILL NOT COMPLY ON TIME!!! I MIGHT COMPLETELY FORGET TO COMPLY AT ALL!!!!! THIS MACHINE FORGETS TO DO WHAT FASCISTS TELL IT - DASHARE.ZONE ADMIN

• I decided now is the right time in my life to get a mullet 👍
Thank you for joining me for Shay's News™. Have a good evening!
• I've been vegan for like a month and a half now? I found a vegan pizza I loved and decided I didn't need cheese anymore. Three weeks later my beloved pizza was discontinued but I've decided to stick at it!

• One more run till I graduate Couch to 5K! I needed to start doing some moving to physically release stress and it's worked well for me. I still can't run 5K - it's more "Couch to running for 30 mins" and I do about 3.5K in 30 mins.
Next goal - an actual 5K
I'm back after the Bsky app logged me out and it took me a few months to get around to resetting my password! What's new in my world?
• The toddlers turned two! We went to see In the Night Garden Live which was great and it made me all emotional
