Quadraspazzed

I am a fat, Jewish, cantankerous Brit with Asperger's Syndrome, horrible skin and bad hair. If I was a fictional character, I would be Marvin the Paranoid Android. I post stuff about dogs and fandom (mainly Naruto, football, The Wheel of Time and Space, as in the band from Liverpool). If you're interested, my favourite Naruto character is Chouji. I also like Kankuro, Shikamaru, Chouza and Sakura. I support Sheffield Wednesday and used to support Everton. I have a thing about goalkeepers and comparing footballers to various animals. 99% of gargoyles look like Bob Todd. If you want to know my pronouns, I'm a she. I'm not going to list all my privileges / oppressions because I beat myself up enough as it is. Also, if you're under 18, don't follow me, although why you'd want to be following a crusty old fart like me, I do not know.

Just a note, which I'm sure nobody will bother to read anyway

I am not doing donations to Gaza Go Fund Me's at the moment. I've missed a lot of work, so have earned less this month. I'm also very ill due to recovering from complex wisdom tooth surgery. I've donated what I can and I donate monthly to MAP, but I cannot afford to give to every single person that asks me. I do not have $100 to spare for bags of flour.

I'm also very wary of GoFundMe's because I had one on Bluesky insisting I'd been ignoring him even though I know I hadn't.

we're moving to an internet where children would be banned from reaching out for help and friendship online but abusive parents can post their children's every second online to humiliate and expose them for money with no pushback

[kankurette]

So Liverpool have shitcanned Slot. Will the bulldog be replaced by the Boston from Bournemouth?

I am obsessed with old Eurovision at the moment

Especially the contests I watched at friends' houses.

I boycotted this year but watched the recap, which I will summarise as follows:

Denmark: very sparkly

Germany: Baller was better

Israel: FREE PALESTINE

Belgium: bit thin

Albania: your mum is watching

Greece: is Ferto Greek for furry?

Ukraine: Bird of Pray was better

Australia: bringing out the big guns

Serbia: it's giving Marilyn Manson

Malta: Benson Boone

Czech Republic: have his balls dropped?

Bulgaria: BANGARANGA! BANGARANGA! BANGARANGA!

Croatia: Bene Gesserit

UK: I have no idea whether I like or hate this song, but Europe hated it

France: amazing hair, not arsed about the song

Moldova: annoyingly catchy, what Eurovision should be about it

Finland: violinist breasting boobily, also it's grown on me a lot

Poland: raiding Erza Scarlet's wardrobe

Lithuania: why is he silver?

Sweden: angry techno

Cyprus: much better than I expected for someone off Love Island

Italy: apparently he's huge back in Italy, I can see why

Norway: 00s indie sleaze

Romania: my fave. CHOKE ME DADDY

Austria: backing dancers just got back from watching some South Koreans murder each other

do you ever want to gently float up to someone and whisper “this isn’t a debate; i am actually educated on the subject and i’m telling you you’re wrong”

Yes and I would also like to gently float in general.

[valerie-an]

this is the most positive addition that has ever been made on my post

Who I'm hoping to see at Primavera

Massive Attack

Li'l Simz

The Cure

JADE - I was listening to her album earlier and enjoyed it a lot

Lambrini Girls

Maybe Gorillaz, and Geese to see what the hype is about

[iamacanal]

Roberto De Zerbi is top, a pioneer, on par with the elites, he is the Mona Lisa, the Venus di Milo, the Fighting Temeraire, the light to my shade, the wind beneath my wings, one of those really pretty blue and pink sunsets, Tangy's ACNH glow up, the whiskers on the most beautiful Ragdoll, a gif set of Alessio Tacchinardi holding a pen, the first time you heard Carrion, Marmite pasta, Romy Schneider just about wearing a shawl, an autumnal sense of melancholy, an Assouline travel book still sealed with a Net a Porter ribbon that you're too afraid to open. He is "Jonestown but make it Scouse", the vibes of "if Alex does it I do it", the human embodiment of John Whaite's heaven and hell cake.

He is not like the other boys (born somewhere between 1977 and 1983, sort of Iberian/Mediterranean, nice cashmere sweater with a progressive, high line, pressing, pretty triangles style). Nuh uh.

Everton have a tendency to exist.

The Premier League says goodbye to four magnificent beasts: Andy the Shetland sheepdog, Mo the secretary, Casemiro the tapir and Pep the leopard.

[kankurette]

Well, Andy Burnham has certainly let me down. Here was me hoping he'd be one of the better ones, but no.

Labour emailed me to tell me my membership had lapsed. Good. They'll get my vote when they deserve it, and right now, they don't deserve it, not with their incessant shitting on trans and disabled people. OK, they're not Reform but that's a really, really low bar.

Kemi Badenoch doesn't court the left vote. She doesn't give a shit. So why do Labour try to court the right?

[arcthunderrz]

Madohomu as borzois. Something I don’t think anyone asked for

[kankurette]

I'm reading through old issues of Glamour from the 00s, and Lily Allen designing a range for Topshop is possibly one of the most 00s moments ever. One of the writers was shagging Piers Morgan, so he was in it a fair bit, as was that knob Toby Young. Also, good G-d they were obsessed with Kate Moss, Jessica Biel, Victoria sodding Beckham, and Sienna Miller. I wonder where she is now.

I have no idea why I read it, I am the most unfashionable person I know. Maybe I just liked the pictures.

[iamacanal]

I remember her New Look range but not Topshop. I'm still stalking the preloved sites for a strapless floral dress I couldn't find at the time.

[kankurette]

Actually, it might have been New Look. It had six dresses and one pair of heels and it was called Lily Loves.

[kankurette]

My first Eurovision! I watched it with my gran.

Lithuania: looked a bit like Sporty Spice

Belgium: boring

Spain: WTF is that dress

Croatia: MARIA MAAAGDALEEEEENAAAAAA

UK: Jenny Frost pre-Atomic Kitten

Slovenia: she's very yellow

Turkey: did they ragequit or something? Their entries were always decent

Norway: Backstreet Boy

Denmark: boring guy with guitar

France: she scares me

Netherlands: do the Dutch ever enter anything interesting (apart from Anouk that one time)?

Poland: boring

Iceland: she's so cute

Cyprus: that late '90s hair

Sweden: deserved winner, very purple

Portugal: boring

Ireland: boring, I think Bambie Thug is the only Irish entry I've ever liked although that stupid Laika song was OK, I guess

Austria: she was my fave

Israel: ugly boy band singing Happy Birthday

Malta: that late '90s make-up

Germany: yes, we get it, you're in Jerusalem

Bosnia: WTF, but in a good way

Estonia: harp
