I renew my objection to this daylight savings nonsense.
Using what little spare time and energy I have between work and [gestures vaguely at world] to start an informal, open group for historical fencing here in town. And wouldn't you know, it seems like it's actually taking off!
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go hyperventilate into a bag.
That said - fuck yeah, more women's hockey!
I really like the fact that #PWHL games are available in full for free in Europe. But also watching them has made me realise: holy shit, US sports events are SO FULL OF ADS! I mean, sure, they don't turn their players' jerseys into walking advertising columns as we do over here, but they sure use every stoppage in play for yet. another. ad roll.
If you ever feel like you're a bit thick for not getting something right away, remember that in 2026 there are still people getting paid to write articles in national news agencies asking the question "are oil companies getting rich off inflated prices?!"
Gods, looking for flats is depressing as fuck.
Just found out that Carpenter Brut had a gig nearby and I didn't even know about it. Kicking myself.
Work bought new ambulances with electro-hydraulic stretchers (after other companies have used them for literal years if not decades). Won't let us take them into service until "enough personnel is trained on them". I have that training. Let me use them instead of ruining my back! Please! My spine is literally pleading for mercy!
