We were at the back of the march, with a bunch of other trade unions. Just in front of the quilts during the march. I've blobbed out the other folks' faces because I don't know if they'd be happy with being on Bluesky or not. Now I'm Trans on Coaches on the way back to Somerset.

Here's me in London with a large Society of Radiographers that was making me very self-conscious about inadvertently hitting people. Had a really nice time though. Putting on the SoR t-shirt I was given directly over my dress was a mistake though.

Izzy, a short white woman with tied back mid length hair is holding a white society of Radiographers flag at London trans pride. She's also wearing blue glasses, an orange rucksack and an olive green shoulder back, of which the straps can be seen.

Sorry, I know it was just a typo. But the compulsion was too strong.

A sumerian statue commonly used to represent Sumerian purveyor of shoddy copper Ea-Nasir. I've added the "Yes! Hahaha! Yes!" From the "sickos" meme cartoon.

Kemi Badenoch celebrating a Tory by-election win.

3 place overcelebrating meme. A 6 panel comic. A shaved headed man with stubble in a tracksuit top has a medal hung around his neck by a blonde woman. He bites the medal, sweeps the woman off her feet in a kiss before yelling and giving the middle finger with both hands. Finally he uncorks champagne and sprays himself. The final panel shows that the man has come third. The people who have come first and second are just staring at the man from their higher steps on the podium.

This is the dress that caused the issues last Wednesday, but my leggings (which are annoying badly shown in the photo) got some compliments at the network social that I picked the outfit for.

A mirror selfie of Izzy, a white woman with mid length brown hair, standing in a bathroom. She's wearing an approximately knee length green dress with short sleeves. She has dark coloured leggings (these have a blue circuitry type pattern that isn't obvious in the photo) along with ankle length boots. She has blue glasses and blue and pink elastic hairbands on her left wrist.

One of the old Ork codex covers. It depicts an open with a huge blade and a gun with a huge blade advancing through embers yelling. Izzy has crudely added some speech for the Ork, who is saying "it's my raisin detter! I krump therefore I iz!".

Pick a selfie from your gallery and turn it black and white. It really strikes me how much my hair and the visible part of my face looks like my sister here. The rest of me, not so much, but that specific bit could almost be the same person in this picture.

A black and white bathroom selfie of Izzy, a short white woman with mid length dark hair. She's wearing a long blue vest top and a pair of leggings with toucans on them. She's also wearing glasses and a surgical mask.

It's petty enough that I've just spent 5 minutes making this stupid map! Sarah went to Shepton Mallet, in the middle of the map in the red circle. All of the towns and cities with green circles have a hospital with an A&E. Bristol has 2!

A map of central Somerset and South Gloucester. Shepton Mallet is approximately in the middle, ringed in orangey red. Clockwise from the top, ringed in green are Bristol, Bath, Yeovil, Taunton and Weston-super-mare. All of these places have a&e departments that would have been fully open on a Sunday in 2015. Yes I've doxxed myself with the map. I don't care. Sarah Vine sucks.

Heston Blumenthal learning about Winter's extreme potato cannon.

Sickos meme. A cartoon of a dark haired stubble man stood outside a window at night. His dark t-shirt says "sickos". His speech bubble says "Yes... Ha ha ha.... Yes!"

According to the 6yo and his friends the bed is now the axolotl enclosure.

At least 8 axolotl toys ranging from pink, to green to Minecraft are scattered on a bed. There's also a cowfish for some reason. I feel like these creatures want different salinities but what the hey.

A mocked up star trek deep space 9 title card. It has an exterior view of DS9 itself, an industrial and pointy looking Cardassian-built space station. The episode title is "This is Democracy manifest!" Referencing a viral Australian video of a man being arrested as he loudly protests his innocence and accuses the officers of groping him.

Those fools said that I couldn't make something worse than the pie chart! I will create a chart that will haunt their nightmares! - the BBC sport analyst who came up with this.

A graph showing "total touches inside the opposition box" from this evening's Newcastle Vs West Ham football match. The graph consists of two different sized semi circles, which correspond to the 43 touches Newcastle took compared to the 34 of West Ham. This presumably means that the area of the Newcastle semi circle is about 125% of the West Ham one. But humans are shit at estimating area in this way so who the fuck knows whether that's right or not.

First photo from your photo roll that makes you laugh out loud.

This is from a series someone did of wh40k factions as Dril tweets. Depicted is Codex Blood angels with the tweet on top reading
"Therapist: your problem is, that you're perfect, and everyone is jealous of you, and that makes you rightfully upset.
Me: I agree"

Ok, Class dismissed. Crimson Desert and Kingdom Come, you need to stay behind, we need to discuss some similarities in your homework...

A screengrab of a steam sale page. Shown are links for Crimson Desert and Kingdom Come II deliverance. Both very prominently feature a gruff white man wearing armour raising a sword above their heads with their right arms while holding a shield in the left. Both have minor characters from the games depicted behind them.

It's fun when the images take a while to catch up with the article.

A Wikipedia app screengrab of the article for tomodachi life, a social simulation game. Wikipedia hasn't updated the image from the previously viewed article which was about the idea of excommunication, so the header image is a fresco depicting the excommunication of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II.

My reward for sticking with my plan to drink more water / drink less cola has arrived. I did have to get a decoy one too otherwise I'm pretty certain this would be my son's new water bottle (the decoy is pink, which he picked because some axolotls are pink).

A clear water bottle with some blue kawaii axolotl stickers with bubbles. It has a blue lid with a flip-up straw.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.

The Crew of Union starship Orville stood in one of the ship's stairwells. They look fairly star trekky, because the whole show is basically star trek with a side of wacky.

Proof that in the Great Party Set-up debate that the Pope is specced to run Aura buff/debuff support. Adjust your parties accordingly.

Screengrab of a BBC entertainment story where Harry Clark, traitors winner and apparent catholic met the pope and described him as having "aura".

Ok, firstly, I had to look up what Vers meant. Secondly, the only topping I have a preference for is grated cheddar.

@xrayizzy.bsky.social is a vers with a preference for topping.

Day 1 of "try to drink less cola". I can have a can of cola at meal times, or if i've done something physical, but other than that I'm trying to stick to water. I'm currently on my 3rd 500(?) ml bottle.

A transparent water bottle with branding from a company (presumably) called faculty that were giving away freebies at the "women in data" conference that happened last week. I think it holds about 500ml, but it doesn't say on it.

I put much less artistic effort into my photos... My "if money were no object" trip would be a return to Japan with a side trip to Korea. Actually do it properly instead of trying to skimp on stuff to keep the price down.

A view from the Hiroshima museum through the peace park towards the shattered ruin of the dome that was the building nearest to the bomb blast to survive the bomb. There's a big group of tourists near an arch and pond in the peace park.

A shop in osaka with a slightly rude looking cartoon dog mascot. The shop is called pet shop rose, the mascot looks a bit like a cock and balls.

A tidy side streets full of shops in osaka. The floor is tiled in a colourful pattern.

A rose garden on a river island in osaka. There's high rise buildings all around.

New PFP. I'd been using the other one for a while so thought I should do an update.

A selfie of Izzy, a short white woman with longish brown hair and blue glasses, she's wearing a blue vest top. The top of a faint sternotomy scar is visible.

I don't know how many lesbian points this is worth, but two new taps! This was a bit of mission creep really, I only really wanted to replace the worn out cartridge from the cold tap, but I could not get the stupid thing free, so I wound up replacing both taps so they still match.

Omg. That's actually pretty good.

Another "your ai slop bores me" prompt. I've asked for a cool tapir driving a convertible. The result is very passable for something that was squiggled in just under a minute with fewer tools than MS paint. The tapir looks a bit like it's a capybara, but it's still pretty good.

Isolde (Izzy)@xrayizzy· Mar 7

A fair summary of the consensus amongst historians.

A "your ai slop bores me" screen shot. I asked "how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could operate a medieval trebuchet?" The personal larping as an LLM has responded "it depends on who the woodchucks are besieging. If it was their eternal enemies, the beavers, they would chuck as little wood as possible, as this would only strengthen their defences. However if it..." The response is cut off at this point.

Pokémon has released a 30th anniversary logo for every single Pokémon. Quote this with your favorite! I'm really liking the colour scheme for Hisuian Decidueye. www.serebii.net/pokemon30

A still image from "it's always sunny in Philadelphia". Frank (Danny devito) has hidden himself inside a leather sofa. You can tell because his outline is straining out from inside the upright portion of the sofa. The closed caption reads "they're gonna notice".

I was going to do a bunch of mopey posting. But instead here's a meerkat doing a bit of sunbathing at Puxton Park the other day.
