I developed a pre-rehearsed self-deprecating “I’m so sorry what’s your name again, I always forget and then it’s always too long after meeting to ask haha arent i brave and honest for saying so” kinda speech. And it’s literally always met with a “haha I’m the same way, my name is…” or “thank god I’d forgotten yours too!”. (this rec may only work on British people? I’m not sure).

I have no idea when I started doing this, but it helps me keep track of my yapping. I’m not a big talker but once I get going I can’t stop. I feel like I’m just throwing out things and I always feel like I’m confusing people, so I throw out a little “you know?” Just to check in to see if you’re still with me. In my head it feels like I’m being courteous.

If you don’t say it your brain won’t think you need to know it. make sure you repeat it back and ALSO use it in conversation at least once

anytime i say something a bit stupid and someone goes "what was that eilidh, come again?" and i don't want to repeat it because i have now heard it out loud and don't care for the sentence, i simply say "sorry that was an inside thought that managed to escape don't you worry"
works a charm

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
