Another lovely father's day where my young kid is making me scrambled eggs and absolutely SCREAMING at her mum whenever she tries to gently steer her away from burning the kitchen down.

The 7-year-old & her friend are playing a game that mostly involves yelling at Donald Trump?? And she just screamed "People are dying, Donald! I'm gonna punch you in the penis, you fucking bitch!" with just IMMENSE gusto.

Am I the only grinch-ass motherfucker who keeps seeing clips like "Nothing rhymes with orange? Eminem begs to differ!" and thinking "Well shit I didn't know people were out here claiming nothing KINDA rhymes with orange! I could've been out here smacking that claim down with goddamn 'porridge'!?"

My kid keeps asking "What's this song about?" and I keep having to admit I don't know. I don't know what this song is about. I don't know what ANY SONG IS ABOUT. I AM DUMB. ALLEGORY AND METAPHOR ARE LOST ON ME. I JUST LIKE TO SING ALONG.

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way” Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??” History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

Family member has moved on to reposting anti-queer articles and talking about "gross gay ideology", complete with barf emojis. Upon expressing my sadness in Messenger I am told "what, I don't hate gays! I've never hated gays! I have gay friends! Gay family!" I feel like I'm losing my fucking mind.

Trying to convince a family member that enjoying The Apprentice 20 years ago is not a great reason for posting Trump Is Awesome shit all over social media, god help me

It's Sports Game night again. I am in dread. It's half an hour of zero-stakes mucking about with nice people and a ball and I'm counting down the hours in steadily mounting anxiety. I think I'm doing Hobbies wrong?

I got talked into joining a Sports Team. It's terrible. I come out of games tired and grumpy. Aren't I supposed to be getting some kind of Type 2 Fun out of this bullshit?

Watching Max Miller cooking vids got me obsessed with the idea of Long Pepper. I finally found some and giddily purchased it. Afterwards I realised I had no recollection of what he used it in so I couldn't even say if it was something I wanted to eat, and also remembered I don't like cooking.

Went to a nice Italian restaurant yesterday. Don't go to a lot of 'em coz of where I live. Seemed like a classic setup - maps of Italy on the wall. Wine-based decor. Punk band stickers behind the till. Owner in his 50s wearing a t-shirt of hungover-looking Ronald McDonald puking rainbows. 10/10.

Today I cashed in my squeaky-clean (if decades-old) school record, my negligible drug use, my zero teen pregnancies, and other credit accrued by having been a pretty low-hassle kid in exchange for my Mum allowing me to convince her not to use the AI art program she was looking into.

Sunday's over and I've spent the evening setting myself up for a strong start to my 1st day back at the job (ie eating enough Flamin Hot Cheetos to guarantee I'll be taking a bathroom break 15 mins after arriving at work)

Things I wasn't expecting to be so prevalent on this app: space photography (v good, am enjoying), pizza (ok show me your pizza if you must, that's fine I guess), and cartoons with Reposted From Your Minions-Apologist But Nevertheless Very Sweet Middle-Aged Auntie's Facebook Timeline energy (hm.)

All I want for Xmas is to get this eggnog poop out in the safety of my own home before we have to go to my folks' for lunch where there's a dozen people and one toilet, please Santa, time is running out

I didn't miss the other place even a little over the last 2 years, but damned if I wasn't happy to see some familiar avis while I was scrolling around here trying to decide if I actually wanted back into any kind of social media. Gonna go follow some amusing strangers again!

You are up to date.
