A machine for turning coffee into sarcasm

is a red panda in a labcoat. Or Holly: 29, Scottish, short, caffeinated, grumpy, bisexual, liberal, feminist, atheist. Hello!

I do stand-up comedy and sketch comedy with ihavecake as Not Sorry Enough. I knit, I stitch, I design, I write. I have clinical depression, which is sometimes manageable and sometimes an utter bastard. I am somewhere on the autistic spectrum, though this is a recent diagnosis and I am still learning about it. I have excellent taste in shoes, my obsession with books is possibly unhealthy, my favourite colour is green, and I am fond of the Oxford comma.

Here are some shiny things I like.
