Ok so I verified my age once on bluesky, successful I suppose because my email was over 18 years old.

Always said I wasn't handing over any of my data and that I'd rather quit than do that. So, I suppose, see ya.

A typed and printed prompt glued to an orange background reading:

"Which horses finished 1st, 2nd, and equal 3rd in the 1999 Melbourne Cup?

If you owned a racehorse, what would you name it so that it was original, exciting and memorable?"

The printed answer from the student listing the winning horses first, and their memorable horseracing name: 

"1 Rogan Josh
2 Central Park 
3 Lahar and Zazabelle

I would name my horse Cannibal"

I've avoided posting images of fashion because I'm too tired to do alt text justice, but I've wanted to post some fashion shots for a while, so.

Thanks for the consideration. โค๏ธ I don't think it's something to be proud of, but I'm pretty unaffected by stuff like this. Unless it involves kids, then it destroys me.

Looks great! I'm so curious if you used 3D as a reference for the forms or you just rawdogged it lol.

Lmao I started to upload clouds because you asked, as I am too lazy these days to upload images and give them a good alt-text desc. B) But then I remembered I had required alt-text turned on so I just decided to post them.

Oh, lovely! Especially the last one. I have gotten back on my bullshit and now I have so many cloud photos I'm running out of storage. -_-

Another day, another non-political post:

For the past year or so I've kept a diary, intending to untangle my thoughts. What I didn't realise would happen is using 70% of the diary to untangle my thoughts on geopolitics.

How the fuck are youse expressing opinions about this in less than 800 words?

I was handed a piece of paper with someone's name on it and a quest to become a male model.

Only the Planet America hosts, master of American journalism experience and graphs, could explain this geopolitical mess. But when the world needed them most, they vanished.

Ah, I just meant the clouds! My wife tells me to take the photo in RAW and I'll be able to replicate more accurately what I see, but I'm lazy.

HOT DAMN those are some clouds with some depth. Considering how flat my photos end up compared to reality, I can only imagine these were wild irl.

(I wondered if this was culturally insensitive to say before posting, until I realised I'm really making fun of autistic people.)

LMAO I'm so autistic. While I enjoyed the book as entertainment, I was all "where's the analysis of the midpoint-climax structural reversal?".

I also forgot to say my wife read Legends and Lattes and really enjoyed it, so perhaps I should put it on my list!

No worries! The topic was fascinating, but really she's just an incredibly witty writer.

I'm so bad at reading despite wanting to. I find nonfiction infinitely more accessible, though, so I had a good time with "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" by Caitlin Doughty.
