I‘m finding the narrative over the Rhodes fires really distasteful to be honest. it all seems to be skewed towards the tourists. “tourists are stranded!” “people won’t be able to visit their favourite destination anymore, when can it resume?”

The Greek residents are losing their fucking homes and livelihoods you ignorant gits, fuck your holiday. Show some respect

"The fatman still can jump", May 2024

During my long May weekend in Kraków I had a rare occasion to grab a few beers with my remote teammates. We finished the evening early, but two of us decided we're not done and went for a late night walk.

Half an hour before the alcohol prohibition (yup, it's a thing in this one city in Poland!) we bought a few beers and started sipping them illegally in one of the local parks.

And guess what? Well, my teammate had a skateboard. And I had my fastest lens on my camera.

So, what happened next? Well, around 2am somewhere in the center of Kraków one IT nerd started testing his old skateboard skills. The other IT nerd sat on the ground and started stress-testing his Viltrox f/1.4 lens and an ISO setting well above 20k.

My lovely friend successfully landed a few jumps.

I missed a lot of frames because focusing late at night is hard, but a few serviceable frames happened as well.

So yeah. 90% of people will stop to look at my boring touristy snapshots and move on. I'm more excited about this spontaneous drunk session in extreme lighting conditions. 🤷

Hey! Just popping my head up again to say that if you missed me doing my rally streams or want a new one to follow, I’ve slowly started getting back into it again- with EA WRC. You can find me over at The Gamer’s Tavern Peertube instance ☺️

Here’s the VOD- which actually turned out to be more like a video I wanted to record anyway rather than a stream!

Catching up on my Mastodon feed doesn’t feel anywhere near as exhausting as catching up on any of my other social network feeds did (Twatbook, Twatter etc). It’s great. I can get to the end of my timeline and feel like I’ve actually come out of a meaningful engagement rather than like I’ve ran a marathon through misinformation, vitriol and rage.

Have they considered, well, you know… gestures vaguely all around

multiple wars
climate catastrophe
sea bleaching
overfishing

“wildlife officials continue to search for what is causing fish to become distressed”

I don’t have a Reddit account anymore, but I’m still reluctant to delete it.

Any here interested in watching or playing EA WRC/Rally?

Well, in The Gamer’s Tavern we’ve set up a club- and within that club we’re setting times across across real life stages and competing against each other and soon competing as a team. Would any of you be interested in joining in, or watching us complete the championships (currently we stream through our Discord channel)

Boosts if you feel it applies to your following would be greatly appreciated!

Why do they call me Master Crasher? Why do they say I love trees? Well…

I’m going to be on twitch tonight- 8pm (BST) if you fancy coming along- I don’t have anything major planned other than rally driving in preparation for the upcoming EA WRC release!

Going to be a chill and chat vibe as always, with the accompanying Group B car flying and tree crashing ☺️

This is why I love our Gamer’s Tavern Discord channel.

I post that I’m going to be streaming that night at some point. They all immediately start reacting to it. Bastards.

In light of the current ongoing events with wars all over the world kicking off, I’d like to share a blog post that I wrote. I’d appreciate it if you found the time to read it.

Some people on my Timeline getting sucked into a tribe mentality over these wars.

Take a step back. There are human beings in this. Humans just like you and I are suffering and dying.

You are angry at the governments, on both sides. Do not group the innocent humans (INCLUDING CHILDREN I MIGHT ADD) on both sides under the same anger and hatred.

What to do when your baby won’t settle, but white noise soothes her and you need to do housework? Cuddle and hoover while listening to @thegamerstavern stream, of course 🤷‍♂️

#Parenting #MultiTasking

For other parents seeing this photo makes me look like everything is in hand and that we’re on it. The washing pile is massive. Dishwasher needs filling & emptying. Lounge is a mess. The rubbish needs taking out. But baby is safe, loved and looked after. That’s what matters ❤️

For those of you looking for a Reddit alternative, give kbin.social a look. Have to say, thoroughly enjoying it so far. Relatively close to a reddit experience too.

Fuck Mastodon. Sod you all. You’re all savages. THE LOT OF YOU

harrybo93, 9 months ago to random

Soooo…

I will be live on Twitch tonight, for the first time in a while.

Given that it’s my first time back, I’ll make it more of a focus on chat, engagement and some cool cars/crashing given that things will probably not work as they should haha.

Be nice to see you there! 20:00 BST sort of time.

(I have a personal rule of not taking photos of people based on what they're wearing, especially when it's about such a weak premise as matching clothes. But I'm sloooooowly getting better at finding stronger reasons to break this rule)

Fairly momentous day for me today. Feeling pensive and quiet as a result.

Today, I intentionally let my nursing registration lapse. That is, I am now no longer a nurse.

It feels bittersweet. I was ready to let it lapse. I’d had enough. I’ve spent the last 7 years (and 3 years prior gaining my degree in nursing) working as an A&E Nurse (ER nurse to you yanks) and of course the last few years really haven’t been kind. (1/5)
