This is a thread of hard-won tips and tricks for preventing the brain from falling over - or, at the very least, mitigating any falling over that may still occur, despite best efforts. Please do add yours to the list

Good news everyone, it's Kate Bush season (every season is Kate Bush season but autumn lends itself particularly well to the listening experience)

Have to walk down for my regular physio appointment shortly; the thought of doing that overly-familiar walk is *so boring*, even on meds, that it fills me with disproportionate despair. However, if I trick my brain into thinking 'I am going out to listen to a podcast', it's instantly more achievable

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

'thoughts'? don't sully my posts with such slander. I have never had a thought in my life

"you don't have to post every thought you have" well that is news to me

I did write a poem today but it's late so I will post it tomorrow. It's a piece of comic doggerel about a cryptid cake. They can't all be bangers

And now the poem forecast for 2200 hours on Sunday 25 October 2026

I hate gay halloween, what do you mean you’re going as the mold on jk rowling’s walls

Oh my god what a piece of shit the brother is. Absolutely zero understanding of the value of women's labour. Similar thing happened to my mum except she never got a penny for it

5.40pm and it is dark. I draw a deep breath that I will not let out until March.

You can just have two packets of Twiglets, you know

Oh my giddy aunt we've done it. After a couple of months in The Pit™, we are now well enough to gather round the cosy glow of the microphone & have a reckon. Puppets! Art! Cranks! Molluscs! The ontological evil of generative AI! That's a Garfield podcast right there www.patreon.com/idlmpodcast/...

Apparently there is some kind of youtube beef happening, I have no idea who any of these people are but if you crave good husband and wife content may I recommend @idlmpodcast.bsky.social

Ahahaha fuck

"This could have been an email." Aragorn whispers. "He ALWAYS pulls this shit in 'Any Other Business" Boromir replies, quietly. "It's why Faramir marked himself as busy when the invite went out."
