Mirri Glasson-Darling

Me at 7am: Oof, my hair is huge today.

My partner, without missing a beat: I thought you were just doing a tribute to 'Working Girl' as Tess McGill.

Female friends my age- beautiful so well-meaning/well-adjusted:
Would you like to come with us to pilates?

Me- always somehow covered in ticks, midges and sunburn regardless of the season:
I WOULD RATHER DIE.

Me, at 9:30 this morning: do you know what a cornice is?

My extremely sleepy partner: no, but I bet I can't stop you from telling meeeeee.

😍😍😍

Surprise big meeting at work with literally everyone AHHH WHYYY

I am too old and tired for 3 social school nights in row. Currently lying draped across the bus windowseat on the way to work, trying desperately to be stoic, fading like a tapestry in the sun.

Heavily judging all the people asking about snow cover on online mountain groups right now. Its below freezing all night, loads of rain even just in Glasgow and I can see snow on the tiny hills just outside the city. If the mountain is over 1000m, you should assume the answer is A LOT.

If you know anyone who's ever come to the UK to live alongside you, and you'd either miss them if they were gone, or at the very least reckon they deserve to be treated humanely, please put aside some time to fill this in.

Genuinely, if you live in the UK you should so the consultation just to find out some of the unbelievable details of what's being proposed. Even with their spin and obfuscation it's shocking

:(

Being sadly silent dramatic at work with my fainting couch like I am just a lil baby tapir man and everybody keeps stomping on me.

Today is my 5 year anniversary of moving to Scotland 💚💙

My partner, stomping out of bed in his underwear, like a 90s sitcom dad: "The Muppets are doing things again..."

Relatable. What a mood.

Other ppl in a long skirt w/ a split in the front: elegant, stately, mermaid.

Me: doofy walrus waves 'hi."

CONTINUE TELLING EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT AI IS THE STUPIDEST SHIT EVER

IT IS WORKING

CONTINUE TO MAKE ART YOURSELF

CONTINUE TO WRITE THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU

THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING ALIVE IS TO CREATE COOL SHIT

AI STRIPS US OF THE POINT OF BEING HUMAN

I'm just a tired little guy.

I am in a coffee shop and Taylor Swift's 'Blank Space,' has now played 4 times in a row.

Fuck this garbage. Think of all the talented artists in Glasgow who you could have chosen from to get a payday from this gig instead of the money being handed over to a slop merchant.

Abolish "A.i." from your life and your business.

'In the Mood for Love' Dir. Wong Kar-Wai is one of the best films of all time. That is all.

Pick up The Herald magazine today 🗞️ for @danigaravelli.bsky.social on Agnes Owens—her overlooked place in Scottish lit and plans for her 2026 centenary, plus reissues by @birlinn.bsky.social and archive work celebrating her legacy we are developing with @agnesowenslitest.bsky.social

If there was any doubt I am a queer human, let me tell you, today I calculated that the moon will be in the exact same phase and on the same day of the week when I was born again on my 50th birthday and, dear reader, I felt the need to share it with you ALL.

Good morning to the world's dogs and cats only, please help us through these trying times. ♡

I believe in you ♡

A woman on the bus sitting in front of me hopped on a few stops DID FULL MAKEUP ON A MOVING BUS WITHOUT A MIRROR then, perfectly timed to when it was done, got off at her stop, all in the space of about 15 minutes.

But the heartburn! I've never had more heartburn in my life than as a 6 year old eating melon-prominent fruit cups 😆
