Happy New Year, BSers. This is the year I:

Will do!

I do spend lots of my time on Threads now, but haven’t come across them.

Thank you! Other than the awesomeness of you, where’s everyone else?

Way to go! I’m impressed and proud.

I even came back to BlueSky after three months to say this.

Well, that’s fair! It sounds like a good, but harrowing, movie. It could have been a bit much.

How was it?

Enjoy!

Hi Bluesky. Sorry I’ve been so quiet, but I’ve been busy.

The good news is, at 63,959 words I have reached…

I’m glad I popped onto Bluesky today to see this!

Hey, this doesn’t look like Threads, it’s…

…Ohhh. Right.

Oh yeah! Bluesky is a thing.

I keep forgetting. Sorry.

Oh I have tooons more writing to do. But only one more essay.

My penultimate essay of my MA is complete!

Every Valentine’s Day I’m reminded that my University used to offer free STD tests on the 15th of February.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Student: Yeah, I’d have voted for Trump.
Me: Why?
Student: He’s funny. And gets stuff done, like he renamed that lake.
Me: Do you mean the Gulf of Mexico?
Student: I guess.

I pull up Google Earth.

Student: oh. Well he’s still funny.

And the other students tell him off.

You know, most people don’t hold it against me.

I loaded up Sims 2. It’s… not the same.

Another successful DofE walk under the belt!

You started replaying too? ❤️

Hi Blue Sky’ers. I don’t usually use the platform for this, but I’m raising money for charity by walking 120 miles next month, and would appreciate a sponsorship. Http://events.dofe.org/fundraisers/benjaminfox/do-it-for-youth-120mile-challenge

Good to know, little old lady.

You are SUCH an old lady.

It’ll be good when I can take him to one of the big ones!

Small venue, too crowded, overpriced merch, a metal band that was playing too loudly (the feedback drowned out the singing).

So the Star Wars convention was a huge let down. But my son loved sitting next to Ewoks and in the model X-Wing they had. So the 174 mile round trip was… worth it? Photos my wife took of me as I was getting ready included because she doesn’t really get dressing up for this stuff.
