Last Notes npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Me on Mastodon yesterday “I have mostly been posting on Bluesky recently because my friends are there, but with the recent influx the replies from strangers are all awful patronising dicks” npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Having to do lots of things that I really struggle with right now to sort out the problem I have, and everyone I’ve talked to for support has thought that adding another person or organisation to contact would help rather than further overwhelm me. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black A morning of phone calls ahead of me, just listened to the whole of Concerto De Aranjuez whilst waiting for the council to answer, now to contact Shelter to see if they can find me a lawyer. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1p6m…jpny I’m “medically clumsy” and during lockdown I broke toes on 3 occasions. Now at home I wear “safety slippers” which are essentially trainers npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Landlord’s served notice. We spent the last year trying to find somewhere suitable and nothing’s been available. As we’re both disabled I’m contacting citizen’s advice to see if they can help. I can’t get a mortgage until next March or I’d be looking to see if we could buy somewhere. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1tus…zmtj you wouldn’t believe the effort to go back in time, sneak into the studio and change that on the master npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1tus…zmtj yep, same. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black I’m sure I’m not the last person to know this, but you know that bit right at the end of Mr Blue Sky by ELO, the last bit where the mechanical voice goes “Mi-ster Blue Sky-y” npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Forgot my headphones today, so I’m having yo listen to the music they pipe in to the gym. It’s making it way more difficult to focus on my shit, and I find myself seeing other people’s bad form, a thing I can normally ignore. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1dw3…qpl3 you can buy it on your phone and watch on your PC, no one will stop you!! npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1swy…mtng thanks looks like the site’s crashed from too many people clicking the link, I’ll message the company whose site it’s on npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black It’s pride month, so obviously if you don’t buy my live stand-up special for a tenner from https://www.gofasterstripe.com/bet then I’ll just have ro think you’re a bigot, and neither of us wants me to think that. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub15qf…wmjf they emailed to say they’re revoking the license on all the copies they ever produced of all their software over the coming weeks, even if you did have it registered it would deauthorise npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Guys, I’m off on a tour of a friend’s wine cellar today. So excited. Apparently they have a fantastic cask of Amontillado they want me to see. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Fred the cat has a habit of catching animals, bringing them in, dropping them and then wondering why they escape. We spend a lot of time catching and releasing mice and voles. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black “Candy for Vampires; Rhesus Pieces” npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Though one thing I miss about the old constituency was that the Greens always fielded a candidate called Dick Venes, and you’d see posters with “Green Dick Venes” on them like they were aiming for that crucial Incredible Hulk vote npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black It’s interesting being in a constituency where I don’t really get a vote, and not because it’s a safe seat, but beca The main parties don’t tend to field a candidate to go up against the Speaker. It allows me a level of relaxation and detachment from the whole thing I’ve never had before. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black The moment “Things can only get better” kicked in Sunak had a look ij his eyes I’ve seen a million times over my career: the moment a comedian realises they’re dying, that what was supposed to be the easy gig has got away from them with no way back and their confidence has gone. All you can do then is go through the motions and do your time npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Normally the Tories do worse over the course of an election because suddenly the news actually starts telling you what the other main parties actually think and want to do. So this could be fucking carnage. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Sorry if I’ve been snappy recently, I’m not really sleeping anymore, most nights I get between 3-5 hours in two chunks. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black My wife has also bleached her eyebrows and now looks disconcertingly like Mia Goth, I said this to her and she held the smile from the end of Pearl npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black My wife just came running down the stairs clutching her stitches shouting “those motherfucks next door have laundry out already! Out of my way” as she threw handfuls of sheets into the washing machine npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black You know, you can sing “the Lion Sleeps Tonight” any time you feel like it, it’s literally just a whim away. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black This is also a thing that English people do too, most of us couldn’t point to Ayr or Ballymena or Builth Wells on a map, let alone Växjö or Aarhus or Chalon sur Saône, or name the Presidents and Prime Ministers of our European neighbours who aren’t Germany or France. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black For example one of my friends from Baltimore was surprised that I knew about that boat hitting that bridge. Or the number of Americans recently who’ve tried to explain to me that their police are militarised and violent. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black People make fun of Americans for thinking of America as the default, that anyone speaking English online *must* be American, or thinking everywhere must accept USD for example. But that’s the prize for cultural supremacy: insularity. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Someone on another app just tried to explain to me how inflation works, and it made me realise I’ve not done enough economics threads there. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Regularly think about that girl on TikTok who googled her town’s police dept minimum fitness requirements and trained to be 10% better on all markers, and the next time she got into an altercation with them she was able to outrun them easily. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black He’s had more tattoos to half arse covering it up but it’s really obvious even in low def TV images npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black I have particularly enjoyed watching The Nation (a stable of Black Panthers/Nation of Islam inspired heels) beating the shit out of a guy from DOA (an outlaw motorcycle inspired stable of babyfaces) who legit has a lightning bolt SS tattoo that no one references, despite it taking up almost his entire bicep npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black I’m rewatching the whole of the WWE Attitude Era, and obviously, few things age as badly as wrestling storylines, but part of what I’m finding really interesting is how the old and the new sit next to each other, there’s this broken kayfabe where they straight up tell you the storylines are going to be realistic going forward, whilst also a few weeks later having an angle where Kane digs up the Undertaker’s parents and burns one coffin whilst chokeslamming him into another. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black I hope when the X-men properly come to the MCU they give Nightcrawler his fur, he should be a little fuzzy guy. He should also get his relationship with Wolverine npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black This season of X-men ‘97 absolutely ate. I have so many feelings. From Genosha to “humanity would rather die than have children like us” it made me feel so much and reminded me why I fell in love with X-men and how that was my introduction to comics in general. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1970…nzjt well I’ve 2 hours until I need to give her more meds so hopefully I’ll sleep for most of that time x npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Home, going to try to get some sleep. I’ve had 4 and three quarter hours sleep since Sunday npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Managed 45 minutes of half sleep, enough to hurt my neck. Just waiting to see if the doc wants to admit or send home npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black My wife’s dozing away on Morphine waiting for a doctor so I’m going to see if I can sleep in my car for a bit npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Been up for nearly 20 hours and had 3 hours sleep last night. 8’m going to be paying for this for days, and still at least 3 hours away from bed npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1y04…cm6q it’s my wife, she had surgery today and then had an issue so we’re on our way back tk the hospital npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Had to call paramedics and currently sat with them in our house is a weird experience, they’re like the most aggressively heterosexual people I’ve spent any time around for ages npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black It all went well and she’s being discharged from hospital :) npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Waiting to hear how my wife’s surgery has gone, it’s my job to tell her mum when she’s out, but every time I try and translate anything to Swedish it ends up with a swear or a word that means penis or vagina npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black I’m doing a show in Rotherham on a bill with Dylan Moran, Stephen Bailey and others and surprisingly it’s not sold many tickets which is insane! npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Thanks to everyone who helped me out financially this month, it was a horrible month and this year has been awful, but everyone who helped either through Ko-fi, joining my Patreon or buying my new stand-up special has made a huge difference. I’ve really been struggling with depression lately and the help and love I received this week has made it melt away. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Due to commitment to the bit, I’m afraid I will not be letting you see the photo of the Aurora Borealis at this time of year, this far south, from my kitchen npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Thanks everyone, that’s really helped make a big dent in the amount I need. I appreciate every single one of you x npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Basically this month so far I lost £1600 worth of work, and last month my wife was hospitalised and couldn’t work so her income dropped to almost nothing. At the same time people who owe me aren’t paying when they say they will. We’ve got all this going on whilst my wife’s going in for Surgery on Tuesday and our landlord has decided to sell our house. So as humiliating as asking is, I appreciate any help anyone can give x npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black I hate having to ask this especially as I’m in the muddle of promoting my new live show, but I won’t get paid for that for a while, and this month has been particularly tough, I’m about £500 short of my rent which was due yesterday. I’m up to the limit of my overdraft and have 99p left. So if you can help even a couple of pounds then my ko-fi is https://www.ko-fi.com/bethanyblack and if you could use paypal I get the money immediately. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1y04…cm6q it’s not, it looks like we’ve crashed the site again, I’ll tell Chris who runs it! npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1xn0…ae88 I get sciatica and thankfully with this it’s brief, but frequent. Like it’s a 10-15 minute thing, so at least I get some respite, I hope the sciatica eases soon x npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black My bad knee is now playing up again, a combination of arthritis and nerve damage from when I broke it makes it feel like I’ve been stung by a wasp in the knee joint and that then radiates through my shin and femur like a tooth ache. Have treated myself to an evening on the couch with codeine npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black It was quite tricky last year trying to do my first tour without posting on Twitter where the majority of my followers were, but I did it, and it was a hige success! We did a live recording of it in Cardiff which you can now buy from https://www.gofasterstripe.com/bet npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Me in April: “it’s been a hard start to the year, but at least next month I’ve got a full diary and we can start to relax a bit.” npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Okay, we crashed the site 😂 npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black My Award winning show “Always Bet on Beth” is now available for you to download for the princely sum of £10, it has subtitles and everything should you need them. Every copy bought really helps me out, I’m expecting to sell 400 copies, but I’m hoping to hit 1,000, the url is www.gofasterstripe.com/bet tell your friends npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Due to illness and injury it’s been months since I’ve been able to get to the gym, but I’m back this morning. Turns out people have missed seeing me which I wasn’t expecting. I come in, show my card to reception and then with my headphones and sunglasses on I go and lift heavy things until I can’t anymore. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Been a bit quiet recently, since my wife got rushed to hospital about 6 weeks ago it’s all been hectic and horrible, she’s fine, she’s finally got a surgery date for mid May, but financially it’s a huge struggle, made worse by my losing £800 of work recently. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1hrm…xvhg I’ve been getting those for ages, unluckily I have a diesel by the ONE manufacturer who actually solved the problem the others faked npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Fred’s supervising #catsofmastodon npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black I'm currently building a website for my wife's counselling business, has anyone had any experience with online booking plugins like Baluu or Acuity? Trying to find something so people can book online sessions through the website. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black #stardewvalley 1.6 on the title screen click on the bottom left curl of the logo until a little D shaped piece appear, now click on the hole in the R for a surprise animation. Keep clicking the bottom right leaf for another animation npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black I also mean for Americans. All of you should be assigned a group of people from various other countries just so you’re not entirely surrounded by people who are either terrified or furious all the time npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black I’ve properly fucked up, the vast majority of the posts I see on all social media except here are from Americans. No one should be exposed to that level of Americans, it’s inhumane. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black My digestive system seemed to have completely shut down just as my wife came home from hospital, got so bad I’ve not been able to eat for 2 days. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Dune Part 3: Melange à Trois npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black *tries to walk without rhythm, accidentally walks in perfect 17/93 time* npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Not sure if this is an autism thing or just a PTSD thing, but I still get terrified when I’m in the house on my own. To the same degree you do when you’re a child and horror movies *could* be real. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black “Look at my fancy butt-hole” says the tiger npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black today's #366films, and due to work I've ended up doing three days worth of movies, which accounts to 4 movies in total: Mission: Impossible 3, American Fiction, Insidious: The Red Door and Maestro npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Neurodiversity awareness month begins with the awareness that we need more support pls. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Got to drive to London today for a corporate gig. So glad I got this as it meant I didn’t have to do any other gigs this week, but it does mean driving to London and back in a day. I’ll say what it was for afterwards as there’s a bit of secrecy around it even though it’s an entirely closed gig for staff of a company npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Me: “I hate when people get the wrong message from movies, it’s so dumb, the meaning was obvious.” npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/005/202/011/156/105/original/cc28d4f98cf65759.jpeg npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Today's #366Films, hopefully the last one for a while where I do multiple day's films in one, I explain how my winter's over and how I (don't) cope with stress, and I review two films I didn't enjoy: Mission: Impossible 2 and Personal Shopper https://www.patreon.com/posts/366-films-days-2-99298195?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black #caturday Fred going ginger in the Sun npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Had someone on insta say the good looking one was probably a sex offender like I was in favour of that. People are weird AF npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Just nearly started a fight in the coffee shop accidentally whilst trying to be friendly and share a fact and the woman serving me thought I was being an arsehole. I then immediately spotted a common mistake in someone’s post and have had enough of being that arsehole for one day so I’ll not tell them the exciting fact about why it’s wrong npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black I miss the days when bands would have one attractive member and three who looked like they were only doing this until they were Corgi registered npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black This is especially annoying on insta/facebook as the business app will then remind me 4 times per day “there are comments you should reply to” and then an explainer that if I don’t reply they’ll stop boosting the post npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black It’s so annoying when someone who (for no fault of their own) doesn’t understand how algorithmically boosted content works on my professional accounts and assumes I’ll use it like a regular person, because I’m trying to get numbers so I need to not only reply to everyone, but also I need to have the last word or it slows down the reach. And on Insta and TikTok I end up in some really dull conversations I need to get out of where I can’t just hit like and fuck off npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1dqq…qvgv yeah, mos definitely, it’s fun having an MP give you shit in the press npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1dqq…qvgv oh she PROPERLY hates me 😂 npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Fucks sake, I arrive in Scotland to record a topical news show for BBC radio Scotland tomorrow, and MY FUCKING MP (the speaker of the house) has utterly fucked it and screwed the SNP over a really REALLY serious vote about a ceasefire in Gaza and managed to make it all about the UK parliament. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Here’s a great video about marketing that unintentionally shows one of the many problems proponents of “AI” haven’t understood https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeAfBvvQ/ npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Today's #366Films in which I completely spoil the 1989 film The January Man which is both terrible and not the movie I watched, and then I review the film I did watch which was Moonstruck https://www.patreon.com/posts/366-films-day-48-98750511?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Yesterday's #366Films is finally up, it's John Carpenter's Christine, and I talk about how my poor mental health and frequency bias could almost convince me Stephen King is sending me messages https://www.patreon.com/posts/366-films-day-46-98641706?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Possibly because I follow so few people on here, and the people I follow, but I’m so glad there is so little doomerist “I bet the Tories just won’t call an election and then stay in power forever!” Nonsense I’m seeing elsewhere. People who’ve mistaken being pessimistic for being smart assuming that the thing they don’t understand works in the way they’d imagine it would. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Seen people online getting mad that Morph in the new X-Men cartoon is canonically non-binary, and apparently furious that X-men has “Gone woke” npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black There’s a guy on TikTok who I politically agree with, but he’s such a weenie, such a wet blanket, and he does this little giggle thing at the end of a sentence that reminds me of this thing bullies do when they haven’t understood what you said but reply as if you’re crazy. He’s really popular but my pattern recognition is screaming that he’s a danger. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Finally sitting down after today went totally sideways, thought we were going to be at the hospital for 90 minutes not 6 hours. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Just finished childproofing my house. None of the little fuckers are getting in here. It’s like a reverse Home Alone npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black “Oh my god, have you seen what this stupid arse-hole’s saying?” - Me looking at my own posts ten minutes after I posted them npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black @npub1ewr…nzyd it’s my real weak area, it was so interesting watching a video from a guy saying thathe worked on it to help with his running and after 2 weeks of not running and just doing this every other day when he went back running found he could just run for ever and was like “right, NOW I can work on my form” npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Now I have the inhalers and my asthma is under control I’m finally working to increase my VO2 Max, as mine was around 16 for the last 2 years, so I started a Kettle Bell Ladder workout yesterday. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Had no idea I followed this many US constitutional scholars on social media, the odds of that happening seemingly at random must be about the same as my hand passing through my phone due to quantum tunnelling npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Phew! Was expecting the thing wrong with my car to cost £800 from my guy and £1600 from the main dealer, but the main dealer can do it for £500 and I can have my car back tomorrow rather than waiting until Monday, so with a rental car factored in from my guy and lost work, it’s WAY cheaper to get the main dealer fix it npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Nearly a year ago I put up a video on TikTok about how to open a terry’s chocolate orange using physics so you don’t have to bash it on anything, you just squeeze it and it falls apart. npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black Still shaken up by yesterday’s horribleness. I think this is what I mean when I say I have a thin skin. Any argument where one person seems irrationally angry with me just leaves me terrified and wracked with self doubt for days npub10nc7fgdscpx9f7kg23qj4wjxqyt4fc0cjdf0a2lu6c5wxauk3tcsqkkuvt Bethany Black today's #366Films, day 34: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. I look a little bit about the history that led to this film being made and a look at both the 1990 film and the changing attitude to animation https://www.patreon.com/posts/366-films-day-34-97822839?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
