Tenants speak out over troubled Connexus Sandpits housing refurbishment
Windows that don’t fit. Gaps between walls of roofs. Dangerous wiring. Holes in walls. Incomplete insulation. Kitchen units falling off. Recurring dust everywhere. Even polystyrene coming out the walls.
On Friday, 5 April 2024, BBC Radio Shropshire broadcast interviews with the residents of the Sandpits Estate in Ludlow where work to refurbish social housing has been in trouble for months. Work…

ok i have been thinking a bit and if i were to outline a season for a x reader focused podcast it would be like:
i put my messy hair up in a bun: intro episode and overall what-is-a-reader-insert-fic, etc etc yap yap yap.
like & reblog: insane tumblr numbers and what it means to have them—or to not. (+ guests)
hornyposting + hot guys: something something specialising in smut one-shots + and what that entails and audience expectations, etc etc. (+ guests)
longfic + soft boys: something something specialising in chaptered fics + what that entails and audience expectations, lmao, etc etc. (+ guests)
#drawthisinyourstyle: fanart in a niche that’s so dependent on self-inserting/not including written physical descriptions. (+ guests)
tiktok (on the clock): niche fandom drama, something something tiktok’s impact on fandom, good or bad, is social media evil and do we need to revert to swapping stapled copies of fics in our kitchens like the OG startrek fans, etc etc. (+ guest)
final episode part 1 (+ guest)
final episode part 2 (+ guest)
i think keeping the season short and sweet would be key to making it fun. the final episodes would be the thesis conclusion lmaooo. the (+ guests) thing is just me daydreaming about who i would beg to chat on it LOL. anyways. 🥹🎧

it's so funny that i have you on one side shipping zolu and a mutual on the other shipping sanlu. feels like i'm in the middle of a war i don't know anything about and everyone is winning
you are walking down the streets of a very peaceful verona
#one piece#honestly good for them i've actually made a few sanlu posts simply bc opla sanji was down BAD for luffy#heart eyes galore#asks#zolu#sanlu#anyways I haven't been in fandom for a long time and while there are some ships I would never partake in....... it doesn't seem like#there's that much tension between shippers#i've been in fandoms where i've gotten death threats n vile vile VILE messages over#my approach has always been i'm in my corner of the sandpit and if u don't come over n try to knock over my sandcastle than we're fine#obviously when it comes to zolu i've already seen people be like 'well luffy is ace' which is something i've already expressed my opinion#but other than that not to much 'that ship SUCKS' as some i've been in lol

"These boys are essential for what we do. It's really nice to see how they grow every day. […] Sometimes I walk behind them and think: “Did he grow since yesterday?!” It’s crazy. It’s so good that we can give them these experiences.”
#LFC#Liverpool FC#when Jarell said he's playing alongside Conor since 10 years... like where?! In the sandpit? You're like 15.#Bobby's shocked little face when Kloppo appeared behind him#And there's even more of them! Kindergarten FC on the rise! (@Stefan: come back please)#... made this on Wednesday and it feels a lot more emotional now#Bobby Clark#Jarell Quansah#Conor Bradley#Jurgen Klopp#Jürgen Klopp#23/24#Kindergarten FC#meins#football

coke on succession is the business masculinity drug. roman and shiv don’t do business in that type of overtly dominant, cocks-out way, which is why they don’t accept the coke from asgarov / matsson, respectively. roman is too coquettish and not inclined to perform masculinity in the same way as kendall, and shiv prefers to play her cards smarter and more subtle, hence the way she finesses in 4x05. furthermore, roman and shiv don’t go in for the type of endless neoliberal self-optimisation shit that underpins kendall’s coke use. roman has too much irony and ennui, and shiv is already confident in her own worth and competence. so the fact that roman and shiv have both ended up in situations where they have to pretend to do coke in order to make a deal gives us insight into their respective strategies for navigating business masculinity, as people who are each excluded from it in different ways.

Lena: So. What’s taking you to Milan?
Kara: Oh no…
Lena: During your “big work thing”.
Kara: Okay. This isn’t what it looks like.
Lena: God, can’t you be any more original than that?
Kara: Not really no. Because, it looks like I’m having an affair, doesn’t it?
Lena: Yes it FUCKING does.
Kara: Yeah. And I’m not. What I’m doing is… I’m saving the world from an alien invasion.
Lena: You’re-what? No you’re not.
Kara: Yeah, I am… and I’m really sorry.
Lena: What? I mean y-y-y-you’re not. But why are you?
Kara: Because… and again, I am so sorry. That’s my job.
Lena: It’s not. You’re a Personal Assistant.
Kara: No. I’m a Superhero. Quite- quite a famous Superhero.
Lena: So that Superhero we see on the news that looks and sounds exactly like you…
Kara: Supergirl? Yeah that’s me. I wear glasses so no one can tell.
Lena: But why would you hide this from me???
Kara: Because when we first met, you, very charmingly, explained to me how Kryptonian powers work.
Lena: Did I?
Kara: Yes you did. It was basically the first conversation we ever had, and then immediately afterwards, like straight away you asked me what I did for a living. And I thought well if I say Kryptonian Superhero you’ll feel really stupid, so I said Personal Assistant.
Lena: Why Personal Assistant?
Kara: Because I thought it was so boring you wouldn’t ask me any other questions. You did though. You were very sweet and you asked loads of questions. Which I answered. Making it hard to go back from it on a second date… And then the relationship continued, and I don’t know, at a certain point I just realised it’s now impossible ever to tell you.
Lena: A certain point? What, like our wedding day?!
Kara: No, way before that.
Lena: So what did you think was going to happen in the end?
Kara: I suppose I thought something exactly like this was going to happen in the end…
Lena: Is this all really true?
Kara: Yeah. And I mean… I can prove it quite easily.
Lena: So… you’re not having an affair?
Kara: No, I swear I have never, EVER cheated on you.
Lena: But you have lied to me. Since the day we met. About what you do, what you care about, basically who you are.
Kara: Yeah… Yeah. That’s worse isn’t it?
Lena: …. No it’s way better. Just don’t ever do it again, okay?
Kara: It’s hard to see how I could.

Sandpits Avenue three month closure will divert town 701 buses
Sandpits Avenue three month closure will divert town 701 buses
As most residents in the area will know by now, Sandpits Avenue will be closed to buses from this Thursday, 24 November 2022 to 24 February 2023. The 701 service, instead of turning onto Sandpits Road and travelling along the Avenue onto Housman Crescent and Sidney Road to join Sheet Road, will instead continue along Sandpits Road and turn onto Gravel Hill and then joining the existing route on…

Today in fish nonsense! 🐟🐠- Tank is good to go! Cool wood piece is cleaned and time to spend way too long on a plan painting.
More below the cut.
Tank has been set up, leak tested so it's good to go (after I overhauled the layout of my office ... still dealing with the fallout of that though lol) and the piece of jarrah/mirra? wood that my Dad grabbed from the tree he cut down on a farm (noting this specifically because it's actually now illegal to commercially harvest Jarrah in my state - this was on private property so it's legal) has had the absolute crap scrubbed out of it - I mean literally, in the process I found yet another interesting hole in it so that's cool, then high-pressure blasted with water so I am finally ready to think about scaping.
Which apparently means spending longer than I should drawing a plan lol. This piece is super awkward to work with I think - while functionally interesting it has a silhouette that makes me oscillate between 'boring' and 'awkward'. After talking to some artist friends, generally it was agreed I'd need to put more stuff in there to actually make it look better, right now naked glass is super harsh. Problem is, rocks and wood? Well in the aquarium hobby that shit is expensive. We're talking 60 AUD+ for pieces of wood. I mean they are fully cleaned and treated (?) and selected for being interesting, but I have a budget and I'd like to save as much of it as I can for more than just harscape sooooo planning is just the right idea here.
Thinking seiryu stone because I looooove the white veining through it, and then for the branches to break up the shape it's probably going to be spiderwood or something (as much as I love mopani wood I don't think it usually sells branched like this - but I will watch out for it) but the good part is these pieces are all probably going to be on the smaller side since I have my huge hunk of feature wood for free.
I don't know how this piece of wood will interact with inhabitants, I've soaked it for probably a month at this point to get a large amount of the tannins out (and I know it waterlogs, which is great because I won't have to play 'how long will this take to sink') but also to help the looser material come off so all I'm left with now is the hard stuff. It's also now sitting in the sun (and I mean sun - it is going to be 40C today and the next few days so that shit is gonna bake 💀) but prior to that has been sitting in the sun either here or the farm for a total of about idk ... at least a month? Maybe more?
I've struggled to find information on whether Jarrah or Mirra wood is safe beyond one post on a forum where someone-who-knew-someone at a local fish shop had put a piece of this in his store tank and all the fish died. Beyond that? no more context. According to my freshwater ecologist friend I caught up with, she thinks it's probably going to be okay given the amount of time/work put in. I have not done a bleach soak and I don't think I really need to given the amount of time it's been soaking in regular tap water (so already contains chlorine) and sun exposure. There will still probably be tannin leakage into the water but I'm okay with having a mild blackwater tank after seeing one in my LFS, I actually like the slight tannin tint of water and how it makes everything a little 'softer'. But I do ACTUALLY want to be able to see though lmao. I've also seen Jarrah seed pods sold locally specifically for blackwater tank setups so it might be fine?
Either way the plan is going to be: Scape, plant, cycle and then introduction of some cheap shrimp as my poor guinea pigs to see if that wood actually is awful.
Right now I'll just have to painstakingly go through plant choices and placement and making sure it lines up with the planned parameters for the community. I absolutely will take suggestions btw.
More soon. Fish nonsense will contain fish ... at some point. I swear lmao.
#kerytalk#aquablr#fishblr#my art#I guess even though this is a grossly overconfident doodle#aquascaping#yes that is a sandpit for enrichment#though I'm debating corydoras#I worry tetras + corydoras might be too much schooling happening for the eventual last edition - Betta fish#if not then it'll be tetras + one pleco#... I swear I saw a video of a pleco thoroughly enjoying burrowing in sand - I'd love that#yes all of this is primarily because I want a betta#but if I only get one tank ... go hard or go home right?#ngl considering getting a small 5-10 gallon for my bedroom for shrimp breeding so that could be a feasible second plan#in case the betta is an asshole#do not tell my parents lmao#I'd love a male in the tank but know it's probably not going to work so female is more likely - or at least plakat type#it's got quite a bit of height to traverse so I don't think anything with super big fins would be great - especially with age#even if I basically have a stepped up network of holes in this wood right to where it nearly touches the surface
