Will delete if another is made while I’m making this one.
Tax time
What manner of fluff is this exactly?
Delicious chicken
We know who to ask if we need eggs
Due to popular demand all pre orders have been suspended.
Have a nice day.
If it turns out to be female. If it’s a rooster, then it’s coq qu vin all round I reckon.
Do not eat the baby
Agree. Wait until it grows up.
Are you getting chickens? 😍
Haha no. Just my workplace and only temporary for a few weeks.
awww
OMG OMG OMG
Chicky baby!
Class chickens???
Lucky Gibson has a vet appointment tomorrow. She’s feeling a bit lousy poor Fluffball.
Took the day off work because fuck it why not.
Looks like I’ve just made my first post ever! 😅🪭 Good morning and goodnight lovely people of the daily thread 🧵🪡
Good Morning! Thank you for posting! ✨
No problem! I was strangely nervous for some reason 🤷🏼♀️
Reference and police checks are underway for the new role. All goes well should have an offer shortly.
Excited, cause it’s something new. Nervous cause it’s something new. Anxious, cause I really don’t want to meet new people.
Anxious, cause I really don’t want to meet new people.
I feel that. Deep in my soul.
+1.
Makes me wonder if that somehow becomes stronger with time…
I’ll have a few months to suss things out and hopefully fall into a nice groove.
The new dept seems to be on the younger side, which is fine. I can deal with younger than older, enteenched
sometimes I forget I am old and try to talk to young’un’s 😔
You’re only as old as you think.
I feel older but think younger generally.
Want some buzz words? “Brainrot”, “skibidi toilet” “yeet” and “get on the tiktoks”. You’ll fit right in!
Instead of shaking people’s hands, I’ll dap them up and dab right after.
That ought to raise my respect levels.
Good man! Also dont forget to ditch the ankle socks. Cool kids are wearing higher socks now for some reason.
Can’t forget the onion on my belt too…
A lot of people in at work early, someone’s playing music from their room and the sound is travelling to me. Usually not so noisy so early I don’t know what’s up today.
To counter it I’m playing Dua Lipa’s Houdini before I go outside.
I 💖 Dua Lipa
Her stuff is so catchy, nice for a pick me up sometimes as well if depending in my mood.
Wish I could print out my brain. Dreamt a manuscript/fresco I’d like to attempt painting, but seriously do not have time right now! Scribbled notes and crossed fingers for future memory it is.
A brain printer for dreams would be so cool. I love my dreams, I’d miss them if they vanished. But I can never really explain them to someone, so that would be awesome.
I remember reading Ridley Scott always has 9 projects on the go. And I read somewhere else many artists have ideas and projects that go no where or they drop.
Knowing these things has eased my mind somewhat, I felt like a failure because I would get new ideas before I finished an old one. Knowing this has helped me keep enthusiasm. I also keep a diary.
Dentist complete. Have retained all teeth
Did you take any freebie toothpaste?
I’m all about the free mini floss packs. Got me onto my favourite brand (Gorilla), that shit works way better than everything else I’ve tried
Nerp, they were running short of it.
You got ripped.
What?! I’ve never been offered a toothpaste, what else has my dentist been hiding from me.
Not offered. They’re usually on the counter at reception in a bowl. If they’re not, you gotta ask.
Now we’re talking.
I call them stocking stuffers.
Alfie has let me know that he plans on releasing books about the Grave Injustices That Cats Face, his first will be highlighting a particularly grievous instance that affects cats worldwide:
Mum Had Ham and She Didn’t Give Me Any! (Okay, She Gave Me a Bit, But I Want MORE).
He feels it will be a Sunday Times Best-seller.
Ya gotta pay the tax everytime you open the fridge these days.
My cats will write the foreword, and give it a five star review!
A study of Pepper in packing paper. These make it look far calmer than it was.
Like a cross between a mouse and a cat 🥹
So cute!
What a stunner!!
I love him.
My mum sent me a video where they described a study that found that ADHD symptoms improved when parents stopped giving their kids food with red food dye in it. I consulted the literature and couldn’t find the aforementioned study, but some studies say there is a link, but still lots of unknowns.
I wish she didn’t take health advice from random people on the internet. The psychiatrist they mentioned in the study is known to be a bit of a snake oil physician.
Also, ‘red food colouring’ differs between countries/jurisdictions. What counts as ‘red food colouring’ in the USA and South America for example, is banned in Europe and Australia as being mildly carcinogenic. This happened back in the 1980s. Here we use a different compound for the purpose - eg annatto. So where and when was the original study done? Essential to know exactly WHICH red food colouring is the potential culprit. Also yellow food dye is similar situation. Was that in the original study???
Actually I think I know that study - it’s fairly famous for being deeply flawed in it’s methodology and interpretation of results. It also pre-dates the numerical code for additives that we see on labels nowadays. So it’s hard to actually compare to modern products however processed in this country.also worth noting that red food dye in the US is usually hand in hand with massively oversugared foods.
It’s not the ADHD that’s being managed, it’s the sugar crack
Oh man, what a blast from the past. My cousins got banned from red food dye back in the 80s and early 90s. One of them makes a point to down a bottle of red cordial when his mum visits just to rub it in her face lol.
The sugar, otoh…
First thing that comes to my mind anyway is: what kind of red-food-colouring food is NOT high in sugar?
what kind of red-food-colouring food is NOT high in sugar
Imitation crab sticks.
*has a quick squizz at the interwebble…
Hrmm no… lotsa sugar there too.
You have unlocked a memory. I went to hotpot with a friend and we got imitation crab sticks because the other option was Spam. I ate enough imitation crab to last a lifetime.
Maybe that’s why I’m so inattentive /s
Imitation crab is weirdly more-ish for me
I have Seether by Veruca Salt stuck in my head this morning. No idea why.
Not complaining, takes me back to my uni days, maybe my brain is feeling nostalgic.
Thankyou for replacing my earworm, which was not as musically worthy!
My work here is done.
A good companion song is
Oh wow I’d forgotten all about that one!
I tend to feel they go hand-in-hand. Pretty sure I have a J recording somewhere of them being played close together.
Yasss!
For the fungus gnat fighters, I got these sticky sheets in the post today and cut them up into traps approximately the same dimension as these Bunnings ones.
Works out to like 8¢/trap (or less) instead of $1.29/trap. Being able to make dozens means you can get way more coverage. Also customised the size to be wider for my larger plants, and want to experiment with different shapes just for fun.
They seem to be working, too, in just a few hours many have already caught gnats.
Oh nice. I didn’t realise they came ready made
I’m off to the dentist. Back shortly
Much less stress in the kitchen. Made a kickass mushroom and pea curry with cashew cream, and finally cooked up the cabbage (with possibly too much of ajwain seeds). Everything is clean and tidy and I don’t feel so overwhelmed. Success!
I’m going to have another crack at Juice… 25% of the way through and not that impressed, seems like a lot of heavy handed exposition atm. But I’ll keep going
