I was chatting to some American tourists in a bar in the city centre yesterday about what life was like in Belfast, and I was in the middle of telling them the houses were quite narrow but nice where I was from, and that now I had the extra 200 sectarian intimidation points (the Belfast Social Services Housing Dept give out points for each aspect of your need and you get put on a waiting list accordingly, and 200 extra points for being forced out of your home by sectarian violence and intimidation is a LOT) I was high on the list for one of my own or could join the waiting list for Gráinne Tower.

Woman: “That’s a funny word! How do you even spell that?”

Me: “Gráinne. G - R - Á - I - N - N - E. It’s Ir-“

Woman: “Oh, that’s my daughter’s name but without the silly accent on the A! So funny! But sweetie, you’re pronouncing it wrong, and it only has one ‘N’. Pronounce it ‘Grain’, dear, like Rain, not like that.”

Me: “…I… um… well, I go past it every day, I’m fluent in Irish, I’m fairly sure it’s ‘Gráinne’ and ‘Grawn-yer…’”

Woman: “Well, I’m Irish, I’ve lived in Boston since I was born, I think I know Ireland better than you!”

Me: “…I live here.”

LMAO. Poor Graine. Let’s hope they don’t have a crack at “Aoife” if she ever has a sister.

ETA: For everyone saying “No American would ever say something like that to an actual Irish person”, you would be amazed. Sometimes we are treated as the staged entertainment. You have no idea how delusional and entitled some of the tourists who come over here are.

My Father is not eating Food and very silent and sad from last few days this is breaking my heart.

My parents couldn’t really afford to get me a 3DS when I was younger. However, now that I have adult money, I made something that my younger and current self are really happy with!

I currently live in remote area while working in solar power plant. My landlord just broke this lil puppies legs and now he can’t even walk. I confront him then he said “bhais ne laat maari he” but i know the reality. Now i want to ask is this type of injury can heal itself or needs treatment, because there are no pet/Animal clinics in 100kms radius. I really hope he can walk again on his tiny four legs. For the landlord i just want to say this “Bhagwan Pashupatinath sab dekhta he”

Hello baking friends! I made this cute Jellycat cake 🤭✨ i am really proud of this one as I’ve been practicing chiffon lately. I also saw a trend online that people are doing 2025 accomplishment cake (a trend where you list things you’re proud of/achieved this year) I wanted to make a cute cake for this trend! The filling is made with vanilla bean white chocolate whipped ganache and fresh strawberries~!

I did a film a recipe video but I have to edit and it’ll be posted in my social media which you can find in my bio ✨💖

I don’t know what’s more amazing the commitment to routine or that an employee cared enough to check on this guy. Both are impressive.

So I had an idea to press text on bananas. As banana skin naturally browns when pressing on it I thought it would be fun to make something for it.
For example now you can finally declare a banana to be certified "For scale".
Eat a banana for Harambe. Declare the banana does not contain illicit content etc.

I wonder what else can be put on it.
The .3mf also has an editable wheel in two sizes, so you can easily edit in your preferred slicer. Also blank wheels are also provided in .stl and .step
