I know this is an old-man-yells-at-cloud point by now but WHY is it so difficult/ completely off the table on every single connection/ publishing/ sharing platform to see

Things written by the people I have chosen to follow in reverse chronological order

Just the things they have written, not every time they interacted with anything else

Not things by people I do not follow

#dayblog #it makes me oddly weepy #like it's just such an impotent frustration #it makes so many online spaces feel incredibly aggressive and overwhelming to me

I sent a difficult email to a university asking to clarify if I'm eligible to apply for something on TUESDAY and it's now THURSDAY and I'm chewing the walls about it

Beginning to feel like the main outcome of this Booker project might be the complete disintegration of my already pretty conditional respect for the Booker Prize as an institution, good lord.

Just finished Orbital and started Prophet Song today; both impressively disappointing, especially considering both have concepts that should in theory be right up my alley. The standard of writing is shockingly low and both authors come across as boring, incurious people. Both books a slog to get through, which is particularly damning for Orbital at 120 pages and some change.

Orbital verdict: it's bad.

Washed a whole bunch of clothes with a tea towel that we used to wring the water out of shredded cabbage for gyoza

Can anyone guess what aroma now permeates the entire load of laundry

#my partner says it's not as bad as I think it is #I've rewashed them four times now with various combinations of vinegar and detergent and baking soda #the tea towel itself is the only thing in there that doesn't smell appreciably of cabbage #😭#dayblog

If you've never tried mashing roasted garlic through your potato this is a sign to try that

oops I have done it a second time (spent so long sitting carving that I've sanded my fingerprints off and can't open my phone automatically)

So deeply evil that when searching property listings in the UK there's no way to filter out places being sold as buy-to-let with tenants in situ, i.e. you would be turfing someone out of their home if you wanted to actually live there

#dayblog #the number of them that mention as a throwaway comment near the bottom of the listing #that a family has been living in this house for five years btw #but they pay their rent on time and we think you could even raise it by £x #ghoulish #absolutely ghoulish
