I hate how easily we excuse the shitty behaviour of other people.

The thing about living with pets; you never know where they’ll appear.

I’ve reached my limit on dealing with website pop-ups. The moment it appears, I leave the website and lose all interest in whatever was published.

This is for all types of pop-ups. Absolutely obnoxious nonsense.

Layers of joy.

I understand that Signal is safer than SMS. However, it is such a shame that they have yet to develop a way for you to keep your phone number hidden.

We’re relieved that she approves of the new furniture, in enough comfort to drape her paw thus.

This was my second cup of tea for the day. The first, my morning beverage, was sadly due to a lack of coffee.

A new grinder is on the way to solve this dilemma!

This iPad Pro is great, such an excellent computer for the majority of the needs of the average person.

Damn it that iPhone Mini looks good. Shit.

This is part of the message you get when exporting data from Goodreads. Yikes.

I understand home ownership comes with a lot of stress and problems of its own but right now I want to strangle the people in charge of social housing in this country. There is no way we can hold private landlords to any sort of standard when the public version is shit.

I’ve reached the stage in life when you decide to try lots of Radio 4 podcasts all at once.

I miss when message boards were much more popular than timelines.

Every single time you want to post about a celebrity politician (you know, the national types who get all of the big press), do this instead:

Post about somebody in your local community who has power. Doesn’t matter which position they hold.

Very quickly realised that avoiding Google on the web is practically impossible. Specifically, the number of people choosing to use Google Analytics and the like means that you are, at the very least, in-directly fed to The Great Maw.

The main reason I’m attempting to live a life without technology built around invasive tracking (shunning certain websites, deleting accounts with Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc) is that I think about the day I will die…

I prefer to be remembered as something other than just data.

Twitter doesn’t work in my browser at the moment.

I think a lot of people could benefit from this exact error.

One of the great things about the internet is that it’s easier for us all to learn about that which formal education excludes. We can get access to knowledge that does fit neatly within the parameters of whatever the current government deems acceptable.

This is important.
