Chris is not here

All I want is coffee, why do people keep talking to me?

@rittan_mori @SonictheRocket Could you please add me? I need one Tundra gift. Code is 6138 5012 8202.

@SonictheRocket I can send Tundra gifts🦋 My Pokémon Go nickname is rittan chan26 and I added a friend.

Looking for friends with Icy snow, Tundra, Sandstorm, River and Ocean Vivillon on Pokémon go! #PokemonGOfriends #pokemongo

@Unwise_Trousers @OT_Press Very noice. Looking forward to the release!

An (extremely short, self-contained) chapter from my forthcoming book, GIBBONS, OR ONE BLOODY THING AFTER ANOTHER, coming later this year from @OT_Press

@reneewebs 100% agreed, thank you

@is_chris you are still special

crying watching videos of Billy Joel playing the MCG and moving back to Perth has been the worst mistake of my life 😭

@reneewebs really? I guess I am not so special after all.

@is_chris he did Zanzibar

After 16 years as a researcher, yesterday I left academia. It wasn’t a vain or easy decision, but one that took me at least 2 years in denial to acknowledge I needed to move on. This afternoon I gave back my TRI badge and left #FrazerInstUQ. This is why 👇🏽1/20

What do you call a Canadian threesome?

Because I'm sure absolutely everyone else is wondering this: The Cardinals' and Phillies' reds are similar enough that they share a Pantone shade (PMS 200 C) but juuuust different enough to have their own hex codes (#C41E3A for the Cardinals and #E81828 for the Phillies). Thanks.

Acquired: tickets for the 2023 World Cup! Three matches in Brisbane, including one with the Matildas. Bring on (checks calendar) July!

I am on a spam email list where every email starts with "Dear General," (as in "General Recipient List"). When I read them, though, I imagine myself as a WWII General, receiving dispatches from the frontline via email.

At school dropoff, with other parents: Parent 1: "<redacted> had Covid." Parent 2: "Nothing a 303 wouldn't fix." Me: "What's a 303?" P2: "You must be too young! It's a rifle." No, sir, it is not my age, it is simply that I am not fluent in firearms.

🚨I wrote about “brain fog”—one of the most common & disabling symptoms of long COVID (and many other pre-pandemic conditions), and one of the most misunderstood. Here’s what brain fog actually is, and what it’s like to live with it. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

Have you ever been curious enough to look up what you were doing ten years ago, only to instantly regret it? I have.

Maybe *now* is the time to not be a colony any more?

I know I'm not the first to say it, but episode 6 of #TheSandman is excellent. (So are all the episodes before it.) Watched it last night, can't stop thinking about it.

Hell is other people in Zoom workshops

What do you do when you're filling out a form in Word and it has checkboxes, only you go to check them and they're not checkboxes, they're squares? I just threw my computer out the window.

First day in the office for two weeks, for a variety of reasons. Cannot be effed.

@jameshutson Have seen surprisingly little chat about it in the online world, perhaps I am not so plugged in

@jameshutson I have watched ep 1 and loved it, avoiding watching too quickly so can wring every drop of enjoyment from it. I so desperately want it to be good. Will watch ep 2 tonight.
