I have realised that as time goes on my language is becoming increasingly colourful when I read the news.

The upload to Mastodon has far more compression artifacts than I usually get. Need to try and work out how to avoid that, but I realise I am too tired for my brain to work it out now. The version on my site is much clearer.
Hmm.
Something for tomorrow. First, sleep.
Night all!
@eclectech sleep well! (not in the one, preferably)

@eclectech that is absolutely perfect! Would you be okay with other people (me, I mean me) use it once in a while? If so, how would you like to be credited?
More than okay if not, this is your work. -

@eclectech I will shorten it to "ATCANF"
Really, you wouldn't believe how much I changed from basically never swearing much to a use of language that would make pirates blush. All due to politics.

More than okay if not, this is your work.@tanyakaroli Oh absolutely, please do. My name is on it if anyone is curious & looking closely enough, so that's fine. Just point people at me if they ask

@sindarina With morning eyes / brain I realise it's not bad on my phone. On a big screen the version here is a bit blotchier than it should be (but the same image fine on my website, so is definitely some extra compression on upload to Mastodon). Given that most people probably see it on their phone I might put it in the "och, it's fine" category for now.

@Ayako Absolutely, no problem

@LappenjammerDieZweite I've always been a *little bit* sweary, but it is particularly prolific with the news now.
I quite like ATCANF

@eclectech@things.uk
With a few modifiers such as F RIGHT off, perhaps F right the (insert adverb here) hell off: deferably.
All that's changed in maybe ten years is I lack self control over previously distasteful language.
Pain Relief / frustration, hard to tell any more.
Dial up the mercury and I am a tinderbox; a particularly foul mouthed one at that. -

Related, I think there is research about how swearing can be helpful in pain management...

OK, it doesn't look as bad on a phone as on my big screen so I will put this is the dinnae fash yersel category.
Might do more response pics with a #colourfulLanguage theme. They're quite soothing to make.
Also, as a couple of people have asked, please feel free to use my pics if they feel appropriate. Not a problem. All I ask is that you leave my tag on, and tell people where they came from if asked

Only in the moment, quick rush of pain-relief hormones.
Can't do opiates or a TENS machine and I don't drink any more. -
