      I need to do that at some point. Just having trouble letting go. I wonder if there’s a way to back up comments.

        I didn’t save any comments lol just deleted the account. It was hard to let go, but I just had enough of the bad news, sexism, and racism; no comment I made ever changed anyone’s mind about their biases. Plus, it means my ex can’t see what I’m up to anymore lol, I have the screenshots of the message they sent me a year or two back, so I can throw that in their face again if I need to, but it is very freeing.

          There’s so much history for me. But yeah it’s not good to have too much personal info out there with creepy crawly people.

          I’ll add checking re backups to the pile of tech/account related admin I need to do 😞

            It’s just disgusting. If it isn’t incel r–ards pining for a mummy bang maid therapist, it’s endless racism and sexism. It’s literally the cesspool of the internet at this point (not counting 4chan).

            Edit: oh and stupid AI posts and pictures 🤮

                It is a cesspool. The incels, the women who hate all men, tradmen and tradwomen, the AI bots and posts, the endless fucking arguments about whether genocide in Gaza is justified, the endless shit about Trump, the Russian bots, whether queer people are actual people.

                Even the animal subreddits are rife with animal abuse - people not doing their research before getting a pet, the endless questions about whether to take their obviously sick/injured pet to the vet, the shitty excuses they have for keeping arthropods in shitty enclosures.

                And the subreddits that are just “watch people die” rebranded.

                Give me one good post on that site, and I’ll show you 1000 more that are just fucking awful.

    getting ready for a long walk down the beach/coast , 4k return, some of it is rough, the tide very low but rising , I don’t care if sometimes I have to walk in the water a little because there is no sand

    this is good for old people like me, the uneven way is meant to strengthen muscles in our feet and help us maintain balance

    will take photos and hope I find some good shells and coral

      That sounds lovely.

      I shall have to tell Mr Woof about the benefits of uneven ground next time he looks at me like I’m crazy for wanting to cut across an open lot instead of sticking to concrete paths. Telling him the route takes us closer to cows doesn’t seem to be a winning argument with him.

      Just got back from my own beach walk, but I did it the easy way (boardwalk). Yours sounds lovely, it’s bloody stunning out today!

    Fell asleep at 11pm, wide awake at 3am.

    Laughing at that mushroom case subreddit, everyone is losing their minds about how what happened to Simon wasn’t allowed to be presented as evidence in this case. Um, maybe because there’s no solid proof she poisoned Simon those times; I have no doubt she did, but they cannot prove it, so inadmissable as evidence.

    Good thing the jury found her guilty anyway, but this has highlighted how little the public knows about criminal case proceedings, good fkn lord 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

    And I got downvoted for telling someone they were gross for purposefully driving by Erin’s house. It’s not a tourist destination! Give it a few years after sentencing at least! Other people live on that street FFS.

          it’s bots from foreign adversaries like russia, china and iran

          they post to inflame anger and division and to make people forget that we are a country of laws and justice

          bots are very active on social media

          we are in Cold War II and I am not exaggerating

      That’s so gross and weird to do. I even feel a little bit bad sometimes even commenting on the situation because it’s not a spectacle, it’s people’s lives and they’re still probably shocked and grieving.

      Imagine the reality of things right now for the kids. Don’t drive by stalk a devastated family bro.

        It’s so gross! I think I also got a little triggered, because it reminded me of the shit my mum used to do when I was a teen:

        smol trauma

        She really believed she was psychic, and would drive around at all hours of the night trying to “find” Bung Siriboon, one hand on the wheel and the other tracing words on her thigh. She’d drive like a fucking idiot too, because she wasn’t paying full attention, so I’d go with her because I was afraid she’d get into a crash and die and I wouldn’t know.

    I might name the house. Get a little plaque made. It seems like a bit of a wank but I don’t want to move anymore and it feels like it helps with connecting to a location.

    I’m back, took my boots off, had a coffee and 30 minute rest

    and now for pics 😊

    omg, what a beautiful day out there, the tide is very low and it’s sunny and mild

    the tide is low and all the dogs and their friends are out on the flats 🐕🐶

    this is as far as I got, 50 metres short of my goal of getting to the small creek , after the fence it’s a true mangrove swamp with no sand and nothing but mucky mud, I saw fox prints in the mud and if a fox sinks more than 5 cm into the ooze I have no hope , even the sand where I was was getting unstable

    a view looking back at the city

    a murex shell in situ , it’s the big shell with a flange

    some of today’s finds

    Back from my run, so many people out and about enjoying the sun. Trees are starting to blossom. I’m enjoying this false spring very much.

    Also in my area, after a certain point on the walking track it’s mandatory to say hello or nod / acknowledge passers by.

        bought a slurrytub, made a 10mm cage to fit inside it, now I can throw 20mm rocks in, clean them, slurry tub filters out the dirt and the water gets reused to clean more rocks. Very economical.
