The 6yo has informed me that he intends to open a cafe that sells coffee, swords, plants, and cookies. I don't see how this can fail.

This blows my mind. Five Rolls-Royces. Five. What possesses someone to light their career on fire for that?

Many years ago, I bought a Bird of Paradise at a garden centre. It had lush green leaves and a pefect flower in bloom. I spent the entire summer caring for it, and it was thriving.

I was so proud. It was the first flowering plant I'd managed to keep alive for more than a few months.

One afternoon, someone I had just started dating came over and was browsing my book shelves. He stopped at the plant and...

Interesting Fact: If you took every billionaire on earth and stacked them on top of each other, starting at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, that would be great.

Earlier in the week I had the pleasure of spending the evening chatting with Marc Jobst (The Witcher, Daredevil, The Walking Dead) about directing action. Sharing some of his insights and techniques 👇

I've just left an acupuncture session and I'm literally shaking. My pain tolerance is pretty high, but this was next level. I felt like I was on the verge of passing out the entire time. This was the first time I've had my hands and legs done, but I've had stomach and face done before.

A question for others who get this treatment, is that normal? #Acupuncture #ChineseMedicine

Sharing in the interest of rejecting the stigma around these things... I've added Duloxetine (Cymbalta) to the list of meds I take every day. 💊

I am hopeful it will help with pain, but even more hopeful that it will boost my mental well-being, raise the bar of what I can accomplish in a day, and keep my spirits up while on this wild health journey.

Anyone here from #Bristol or #London with a 3D printer, who would be wiling to help me create a couple of small props for an upcoming film? Paid of course.

Further away is fine, too, I just need the finished project in a few weeks time.

Speaking of Bi things... I'm currently using an extra dining chair in my office, which is killing my back and makes my legs sad. I think I'm finally going to treat myself to this gloriously queer office chair.

This is a difficult message to write, but I feel that it's important for me to take full responsibility for my actions.

This morning, just before the school run, I forced 6yo to put on his shoes. I have been informed that my actions have caused harm and were a grave abuse of my power.

I would like to publicly offer my sincere apologies to 6yo, and the entire Y1 community.

I really loved Dumb Money. Of all the "it's a bit like The Big Short" films that have come out over the years, this is by far the best.

Boiling Point is leaving Netflix at the end of the month. If you haven't seen it yet, move it to the top of your to-do list!

It's a 92-minute single-shot masterpiece. 😲

Witnessed a family of four pull out a Monopoly box and set it up on an insanely crowded train from London to Bristol. Properties, utilities, Chance, Community Chest, money poking out every which way off the side of the table. Even looking at it gave me anxiety. It was simultaneously so basic, yet so fearless. I didn't know there were ride or die Monopoly people.

Not sure if the situation is critical, but I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for people to migrate away from mastodon.social.

I do see the value in being on a smaller server, but I've never migrated before and I really don't want to do something I regret. Is anyone on a well-moderated, inclusive server you would recommend?

The responses you get when asking for advice or recommendations on social media networks:

Twitter: crickets

Reddit: "I don't know, but I'm going to imply I do, not answer your question, and call you an idiot for asking."

Mastodon: "Here, friend. Have some really helpful input and resources."

LinkedIn: "I just asked ChatGPT to write an SEO optimized blog about the topic. I haven't read it, but here's a monetised link."

I seem to remember that there used to be an online tool where you could put in two IMDB profiles and it would connect them through various degrees of separation. Did I make that up, or is it a thing?
