One more day of work then I'm off to Birmingham to talk about and buy plastic (and occasionally metal) robots that turn into other things with other like-minded folk.

I wish there was a Pride after party where they'd play Babymetal and Getdown Services

Roughly 10 years later, after numerous times dyeing it to cover the grey, my beard has decided it is ginger again, and like PROPER GINGE. (ooft I've caught the sun)

Happy pride from me, @drewbear84.bsky.social and my dayglow teeth.

I'm doing my @edfringe.bsky.social planning and once again I BEG comedians not to put all their shows on in the 20:00 - 21:00 slot. A third of our shortlisted shows are in that slot and we're only there for a week. Whyyyyyyyyyy

Today's Trans People in Sports will be tomorrows "Do we need Pride?" and "Should gay teachers be allowed in schools?" the day after that. We got the rights we have by being stronger together as a community, those rights will be taken away just as quickly the moment they figure out how to divide us.

I left LinkedIn about 15(?) years ago, as at the time everyone in my industry knew who I was and what I can do. Since then I've changed my surname, purposefully ducked out of the e-commerce limelight, the industry has moved on, and gosh golly, lots of people don't know who I am Do...do I rejoin?

I do love my China colleagues but sometimes, they...well I admire how much faith they have in my abilities

I'm gonna dress as Hasbro's Head of North America Retail Sales, lipsync to "Instruments of Destruction" and smash up figures of Prowl, Ratchet, Brawn, Ironhide, Wheeljack, Windcharger and finally Optimus, live on stage.

I am missing our dog as we've been away for a week. She'll be back with us tomorrow but I went through some photos of her and found these from the day we picked her up. Look at her, she's ridiculous. @drewbear84.bsky.social

I watched Cloud Atlas on the plane home, and I forgot how much I deeply love this film. It's ambitious as fuck, complex, weird as all hell. You can't fault anyone involved for their commitment to the bit, it's like they all agreed "let's fucking do this no matter how it turns out"

I always saw these lift mechanisms in Planet Coaster and thought it was just space-efficient, not something that actually existed in real life.

We also found out we're the types of gays who fly into a city, win a Broadway themed drag pub quiz, then fly back out again

Also, this sign at Vienna pride which, honestly, fair.

Had a lovely time in Salzburg and Vienna. Most holidays we get homesick but not here. It's lovely here.

He-Man film is a lot of fun, knows that it's a movie of a cartoon used to sell toys. Incredibly camp, incredibly silly, a LOT of quotable fisting jokes, amazed that it was allowed to be that.

To this day it haunts me that the only problem with Claude from the Raggy Dolls was that he was French. No manufacturing errors or defects, just, French.

AI: there must be something wrong with API degradation, a fatal flaw in the extraction checkpoint. There's the magic bullet, the 2nd run of loadUnprocessed LEFT JOIN worked as an exclusion. Rewriting the function now....etc etc Me: um, I just had a typo in the access token.

Was gonna post a video of my walk outside by BSky has done something wrong processing it but honestly it's not far off.

I love in order to understand this t-shirt you have to know Transformers, the Polyphonic Spree, that there's a Transformers themed band called the Cybertronic Spree, AND recognise that this is the In Utero album artwork.
