Listorama: Facebook status updates vol 55

BetaRish (is)...


lurch yikes lurch >> my stomach upon seeing my to-do list

Loops of duty

Soaked boots, wet socks

Time is a killer too

Can you be addicted to pastry? Asking for no one near this keyboard oh no

I’ve started reading a book called ‘Be More Pirate’, and my initial reaction is, why can’t it be ‘Be More Trash Panda’?

The promise of printers > The reality of printers as he reboots yet again

Pondering ‘The Tank Bowl’

If you find a thread, let me know, as I appear to have lost mine

Work dreams

Here we are again

I remember when it was dry

I woke up with a bounce in my step; pretty sure that was due to the fabulous news of Bernardine Evaristo winning the Booker Prize last night. An inspirational win – now let’s all be brilliant, do more, and crash more parties

Less than 12 hours between leaving the office and being back at the office is...
Do you want to be right? Do you want to change minds? Do you want to win? << three interlocking questions I’m thinking about this morning

The silence is loud today

Keep going

Do you make the patterns regular, or leave them be?

It’s always a brimstone, and never an emptystone

jigger jigger jigger

Call Me By My Ballot

Every Brexit Story is a ghost story

November spawned a shower

Verboten is verboten

Do me a favour today please: keep going, keep fighting – if you don’t back yourself, no one else will

And then we came to another beginning

Niche leaders, sally forth narrowly

spinning / whirling / spinning / whirling

Sleep begats more sleep

Check yo’ facts (and the political party that claims to be rebutting ‘em)

It is what it isn’t

Even an unfinished poem tells a truth, once

Thanks for the birthday wishes – you’re all marvellous. Even you

6 more days

the wide wave to the far future

Vote early etc etc

Shake & Shake

Proposal: rewrite of Auden’s ‘The Orators’ as ‘The Wreckers’

back at the desk

No, no epiphanies yet

What did you last win, and when?

Usually drink, usually dance, usually bubble

Hello hello I see the elites are claiming the people with less power are the elites again

Breach, once more, etc

Indifference is a superpower

Pin your ears back and run towards your anger. Behind it is change

This might be the only time I surface this week so…

This is the real of my wildest dream
