Last Notes npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip I’ve just bought a shaver socket to USB socket adapter. What a time to be alive! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip #ThursdayFiveList Hands npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Does anybody have any tips on what employers can do to help neurodivergent employees at work? npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub1437…ranm what?! I hope you mean > npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Went to a board game cafe for the first time and it was a lot of fun. We played: npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub18wj…lvmv I could retire now if “Embarassing things I’ve said and done” would cough up what they owe me! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Post from the_happy_broadcast on Instagram. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip This #earworm is back and this time it’s so ferocious I started humming it during a work meeting 🤐 npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub12ze…hunm They invent new notifications faster than you can block them! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Why the hell would I want to see notifications from a friend I deliberately unfollowed because they’re fucking annoying?!!!! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub12ze…hunm Little Simz npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip My fur baby has been in the animal hospital for a few days, but now he’s hoooooome! And back to his normal self 🙏 npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Randomly joined my local working men’s club last night! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub10dc…pmga oh I didn’t notice the sponsor first time 😂 npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub1hqx…944s The most important feature I need in a motor home is that it absolutely must be IMPOSING 🙄 npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub1hqx…944s I went to great lengths, and expense, to find a house with a private drive so that I could park directly outside it! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub1hqx…944s I’m guessing what they mean is you parked in a perfectly legitimate place on a public road and they couldn’t park right outside their house, which they have no right to do anyway 🙄 npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip There’s a petition to save the Electric Cinema in Birmingham. It’s the UK’s oldest working cinema. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub10dc…pmga if it was a sinus headache, capsicum thins the mucus 😁 npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub19z9…u5j0 oh, that twisty seat design is clever. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Random musing about language and labels. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Treated myself to this when I was sick last week. I can’t afford the bigger packs, but was glad to discover a smaller pack of cherry blossom, which I love 🩷 🌸 🍒 npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip For everyone else who struggles with grey days, this from False Knees cheered me slightly. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip PSA, cat fans, Heidi is bathing rescue kittens on Instagram again! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip RIP Annie Nightingale 😢 npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip When hashtags were introduced to Twitter, me and the ex joked that there should be a registration service to work out what some of them meant. I’m still having trouble all these years later, e.g. I don’t know what the heck #37c3 is. It would be good if there was some way to pin definitions of what people are using them for. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Stupidly got sucked into a political conversation with a family member and still feel traumatised by the conversation. I’d even bought earplugs to wear to stop me being tempted to join in and managed to avoid it until this morning 😔. It’s much worse being single because I have no one to back me up. It’s the whole family against me. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Saw a really interesting programme on BBC2. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub1hqx…944s omg! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Last full day of my November winter sun hol, you can unmute me soon! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub10dc…pmga ohhhh, thank you! I thought it was a bit weird not having more accurate control. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Does anyone know of an iOS app that will let me have fine control over my volume? When listening to music on headphones, often the first “notch” is too loud for me. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub1hqx…944s I haven’t watched it yet, but I will get around to it sometime! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip My favourite jewellery shop was closed, which is probably for the best otherwise I would have spent ALL MY MONEY. I’ll be back though. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub1hqx…944s a house toad?! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub1pdj…p8d3 @npub18lj…80hq For me it’s about protecting my energy. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub18lj…80hq One that I would give to others: If people treat you in a weird way, it’s about them not you. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub18lj…80hq Pick your battles. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip This new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip I’ve heard the Planet Earth 3 theme tune three times now on the Radio 1 breakfast show. It’s by Raye, Hans Zimmer and Bastille. It is absolutely stunning. I’ve never had so many goosebumps! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub194h…4ewx I used one for years, but then they seemed to stop working for me. Also made my eyes go a bit funny! Sorry, that didn’t answer your question. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Lol, just abbreviated the word analysis in my work notes. Actually I think I’ll write it in full. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip I have one spare ticket for the sold out Black Sabbath ballet. Saturday 2pm. Dm me if interested. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub19lt…qfjk pre-follow, post-follow, on returning to profile page and at 12.35 (on the Ivory app) npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip UK peeps, if you’ve got an alarm set for weekdays, you might want to turn it off for tomorrow! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub150l…r96e I used edamame beans in place of peas. npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip @npub1437…ranm Surely all music is left wing? npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip Just bought my ticket for this year’s edition of Yr Welcome festival. Bigger than ever and closer to home for me! npub1un5kuvy09u2nke022sle0tskueuhgz3qdtj3yl8kjlkc7dzvys5qezx6zh catnip I loved and still miss #ThisIsMyJam.
