#introductions hi!
- I’m a health researcher who is moving further into UX and service design.
- Academic work is on co-production and mental health.
- I love sci-fi and fantasy games, shows, comics and books.
- In practice I go on mostly about cats, my wife and LGBTQ rights (always LWithTheT)
- My bird account became very work-y and still unsure if I want to use this the same way or just have a quiet gay geeky cat corner
- I think the flexible CW feature is cool

This country is a moral and legal trash fire but it’s where they keep my greggs vegan sausage rolls

Now I know how the guy in the Sistine chapel picture felt #Caturday

This is a chapter title from ‘our house is on fire’ (which I loved, and is as much about mental health and neurodivergence as about climate change). I don’t know if it’s a quote but it hit me surprisingly hard and I still reflect on it. Maybe it’s just such an antidote to the give up/hey we’re probably a simulation attitude elsewhere.

The cost of living crisis as measured in stolen golf carts.

Also intermittently pausing it and showing me her phone so I can agree how much Salem looks like Max.
Exhibit Max:

Wife is rewatching the original Sabrina The Teenage Witch and so I’m just hearing chuckling followed by the occasional “oh, Salem!” and it’s adorable.

I see where they’re going with the Agnes/Borg “oh I’m so lonely and only get on with robots” thing. But she’s clearly built great relationships with the other characters? And why do clever women have to always be portrayed as so unhappy they’re not like everyone else? Tldr: brb just painting my JUSTICE FOR AGNES banner

#houseplant #gardening #plants Q - spotted this new stem growing from my calathea but tip already brown (I think under watered) - should I trim it off? Or is it lost already?

Overheard wife’s work zoom and a woman saying to a guy “I really value your input but no thank you” when he suggested a change and I’m in love

Kate didn’t know who this was and I’m fuming that I explained it rather than just saying “oh, Lord Creepalot? Yeah, Will’s great uncle I think. He’s in the next season of The Crown.”
