Today (23rd April 2023) at 15:00 BST - the British government are testing a new alert system on everyone’s mobile phones.

If you have a secret mobile phone on account of being in a difficult domestic position, the centre from Domestic Violence has URGED YOU TO TURN YOUR SECOND PHONE OFF.

G… gender roles? [I open my hand, confused, and reveal a fistful of dnd dice] Which one do I…?

Ynys Môn is now on kindle!

Monsters and mythical figures return to the land of King Arthur, centuries after his death. The spirits of Arthur and his Knights are brought back to keep darkness at bay and conquer evil. Unfortunately, their vessels are three aimless sixth formers from Anglesey.

If you like arthuriana, the Mabinogi, Wales, nonbinary characters, urban fantasy, you will like it!

In a museum store I got to see some of the eggs they had and they had small nests with a Cuckoo egg in a different nest and it was so cool. Some of them oyu could tell there were 2 different bird eggs in some of them even the natural history curator took a moment to check which the imposter egg was.

From different breeds of chickens, the natural colors of egg shells, so lovely! <3

You know what I hate about toxic heterosexual culture? The way others try and force it on people.

Like, heterosexuals are so used to it that they just....do that, to other couples, usually younger ones.

My partner and I are read as straight as treated as some sort of willing participants in this.

Like the other night, after dinner at family's house I started collecting dishes to wash them, because I'm at someone's house and that is how I was raised.

Now, boyfriend knows I'm allergic to dishsoap so he comes up and insists on doing it for me, I'm grateful and pick up a towel to dry the dishes. It was a nice moment actually, he's seen me break out in rashes and itchy awful hive things that stick around for weeks.

But to the older heterosexual couples it became fodder for how I "owned" him, he was whipped and down trodden etc. When I said, meekly (I was a little taken aback by the "haha you volunteer to do the dishes and then make him do it" when I hadn't even volunteered, I was just quietly collecting dishes and starting the process) said that he had insisted, the joke became about how he probably vaguely suggested and I pounced on it or that he would be in "big trouble" if he didn't suggest it.

I didn't bother saying I was allergic to dishsoap, I've been saying that since I was 10 and no one believed me, I could already had the jokes they would make about the "allergy", so I just shut up and kept wiping dishes and putting them away.

But this isn't new, my last relationship was also previously read as cis/het and it was always like, if I asked my partner to do anything for me it was met with "see if you can get your balls out of her purse while you're at it".

Like if the hets wanna have this culture, fine, do you. If you want to act like any kindness or request is emasculating servitude and that women are harpies, whatever. But don't try and push your miserable dynamics onto everyone else.

I'm probably not going to put this on the official etsy just because I don't think anyone will take me seriously if I use a photo with the words "Enjolras, pierced by [redacted] balls" as *actual* marketing material but I figured tumblr les mis might get a kick out of my painfully symbolic les mis bracelet on an amusingly positioned extract of the text

(text is my two volume everyman's library les mis from 1947, wilbour translation)

actual bracelet with non dodgy photos can be found on my etsy page @daisychainsbyM

My grandchild, probably: “Because the M9 Reunion ending killed my Grandma, okay?!”

I may have a new favourite museum. And I finally got to see and artefact I discussed in my dissertation in person.

i consider seeing avatar 2 in theatres a selfish act
