Time jump

Time jump

Some days I don’t want a fresh start. I just want to skip ahead a few chapters in life. Not forever. Just forward. To the bit where things feel lighter. Where I’ve figured a few things out. Where Im all adult and got my ducks in a row. Where my body behaves, my bank account [...]

Valentines

Valentines

Happy Valentine’s Day to you all. Being alone is perfectly fine. You don’t need to spend ridiculous amount of money on any gifts and you get to eat ALL the chocolate!

I’d rather eat Donuts

I’d rather eat Donuts

When you are working, you don’t want applause. You don’t want a medal. You just want people to pull their weight. Because teamwork only works when it’s actually a team. When it’s a few pushing the cart it gets heavy fast. It wears you down in small ways. It eats at your enthusiasm and affects [...]

The first coffee

The first coffee

I don’t wake up ready for the day. I wake up confused. Honestly, every single morning. Before coffee, I stare at the ceiling like it’s at fault for me having to get up. I’ve brushed my teeth, dressed and ready I think for the day.I’ve read a simple email and run to make another cuppa. [...]

Raining cats and dogs

Raining cats and dogs

It’s absolutely freezing. The kind of cold where you think, it may as well just snow and get it over with. But no. Instead it’s raining. Proper raining. Cats, dogs, maybe a small donkey. The sort of rain that ignores umbrellas and finds its way down your neck anyway. Everything feels damp. Not soaking. Just… [...]

My mobile phone

My mobile phone

I hate when my phone goes off. Every buzz feels personal. Like my phone is tapping me on the shoulder just to say, “Hey. Nothing important. Just vibes.” It’s never good news. It’s never life changing. It’s always an app I don’t remember downloading or a notification about something I’ve already dealt with. Or a [...]

I’ll be busy

I’ll be busy

I’m genuinely buzzing right now because my friend is coming over from France for a long weekend, and I haven’t seen her in five years. The kind of time where life happens, hair changes, people move, and somehow you still pick up exactly where you left off. It’s funny how excited I am about something [...]

Drinks

Drinks

I always thought a drinks cabinet was a posh people only thing. Oak furniture, fancy bottles, and crystal glasses. In real life, my “cabinet” is a shelf that holds cordial and lattes. But in Second Life? Different story. In Second Life, I can be absolutely skint and still own a gorgeous drinks cabinet packed with [...]

Striking the pose

Striking the pose

There’s a very specific kind of chaos that comes with blogging in Second Life, and honestly, I think it’s part of the charm. You spend ages finding the perfect outfit, the right windlight, the angle that says “effortlessly candid” while actually being very simply staged. Then comes the pose. The sacred moment where you’re supposed [...]

Is Blocking Grok Really About Adult Content solely or About Controlling Speech?

Is Blocking Grok Really About Adult Content solely or About Controlling Speech?

There’s been a lot of noise recently about governments wanting to block or restrict Grok, supposedly because it can generate adult content. On the surface, that sounds reasonable. Protect users, protect minors, keep things “safe.” Fine. No one is arguing against sensible safeguards. But here’s where it starts to feel a bit kinda off. Grok [...]
