If you program in any capacity, work or play, please tell me, do you ever use pseudocode to plan a program you are writing? (Don’t include using pseudocode to teach) 💻👩🏾‍💻

Yesterday and today I had peanut butter on toast for breakfast. Big whoop, I know, but some years back I was told I had a nut allergy and given epipens. I was later tested again and I don’t, but it made me scared to eat nuts. 🥜

Curly hair update! Lacking in funds at the moment to try more expensive products, but I have had really good results from Aussie curls deep treatment and curl conditioner if that helps anyone 🙌👩🏻‍🦱

Does anyone else find the emails from teachers pensions completely lacking in context and indecipherable but also pretty stress inducing as there’s probably an action you should be taking if you could work out what it actually meant? 😅

Teachers pensions be like: You might get a free kitten, but that means we’ve rolled back your option for a free puppy. You can buy a lizard but only if you had 78 showers between April 2021 and March 2022. By the way, there’s a bear behind you and it’s on fire.

I’d really love it if people who are imminently about to die of illness in films could not *always* have cancer. It’s like walking downstairs and discovering a lion in your living room every f-ing time, and it really ruins the film for me. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

It’s like, imagine you had a really bad car crash, you lost a limb but you survived. Now in every film you watch, there’s a car crash. There’s even car crash awareness month where people walk round wearing little red badges to remind you about car crashes. Exhausting.

Don’t really feel like I’m crushing it at anything at the moment. More like flailing around, hoping everything gets lightly rolled on. 😕

Just popped in to say, why do all the food colourings that actually work always have the bad E numbers? 😩

Shout out to that time 4 years ago at Picademy Bath when Travelodge staff decided to restock a cupboard at 1am, twice. 😖

Just put on a playlist of modern dance hits while I make dinner, and every other one, the main bit is a rip off of a 90s dance hit. I feel CHEATED. 🤣

Really struggling with my hair being chemo curly and not yet bob length ☹️ Anyone with curly hair got any wonder tips until it grows more? The curl creme I got was sticky and awful, but it’s a ball of frizz 😭

Backed up my photos to Google photos, and it has this great feature where every day it sends me a picture of my dead cat.
