Why do people on TV only ever walk their dogs if there's a dead body to be found? How do they know there's a body there and its time to take the dog out? Don't their dogs whinge to go out?

TFW you suggest a thing and say to your friends "maybe we could do this thing?" and you really don't expect anything to come of it and then you go look at the thing and it's blossomed into something glorious and beautiful and... yeah.

Sorry this is cryptic but OMG I have the best friend in the world

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. But a lurcher snuggling your leg? That's forever

It used to be if racists wanted to blame something on black people they'd need at least... you know a particular black person, a scapegoat, or whatever. Like "This is Janet the black lady who put the plane door on backwards." Or whatever... And then they'd go off.

But now it's just ... the possibility of black people that has them in a tizzy.

Theoretical abstract black people who literally aren't even there.

wtf.

Just when I was ready to spend the evening recovering from today, I remembered that I am getting my Mirena removed tomorrow. I may not be able to get much done afterwards. Fuck!

TFW you see people getting excited that Famous Person 1 is working with Famous Person 2, and you know that Famous Person 1 is an abuser, and there are very credible accounts of it, but they are also very litigious so the abuse accounts got swept under the carpet, but everyone in their particular industry knows about the abuse apart from, apparently, Famous Person 2, who everybody says is lovely.

I mean you've got to hope Famous Person 2 just doesn't know.

Christ the world is bleak.

Whatever you happen to call it—dinking, doubling, side-saddle, or achterop zitten (“sitting on the back")—hitching a ride with a friend is the hallmark of any city where cycling feels safe, social, and totally normal.

And in the Netherlands, it can be seen absolutely everywhere.

Today has been A Day. But tonight there is gin.

Midnight, yawning, snuggling up in bed, all good.

3.30am still not slept. FFS.

I think tomorrow needs to be a day of Doing Lots Of Things to tire myself out.

TFW you have reached the age where you have to take photos of instruction leaflets with your phone so you can enlarge them to read them.

Very glad that the universe has allowed RyanAir to deliver Bearded Friend to AppleStan Friend after a solid week of horrible news about nasty things happening to aeroplanes and people dying and/or being endangered just for taking flights.

Heart rate below 100 for the first time since he took off.

Happy Monday, Mastos! Time to get up and face the horrors.

The worst thing about weed become more legal is that now everyone is constantly smoking it everywhere, just when we’d finally nearly gotten tobacco smokers to understand no one wants to smell their goddamn lung-choking stench.

And spraying scented chemicals doesn’t prevent people from smelling the smoke, only fools who have killed their olfactory sense with burning leaves are stupid enough to think it does.

"...the exact midpoint between the popular parlour game of wink murder and the Milgram Experiment..." Since I'm clearly going to become OBSESSED again, here's my it bit from last year in which I try to work out why The Traitors is so compelling https://jonn.substack.com/p/why-is-the-traitors-so-compelling

Are you a fancy pants foodie who likes fancy jam?

Have you been sad because your jam got mold after only a month or so?

That's how fancy jam works, no preservatives. You pay the price, but I've found a solution that's worked for years:

After you crack the jam open and use it (always with a clean knife, minimize time it's open! Don't let spores in!) Pour a thin layer of honey over the top of the jam. This will prevent mold. It's yummy too.

(What's your food preservation tip?)
