Tore my left calf muscle about a month ago and have been resting it as much as possible since. Unthinkingly dashed across a road today….back to square one. 1. I don’t have time for this 2. My left leg does all the work this is very inconvenient. 3. Pls send healing vibes, poultices and leeches.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

#AmReading ‘Tiredness is a creature that chews on my bones till I feed it sugar and bad choices.’

So love it when in the time it takes me to pick up my phone, navigate to the supermarket app, and open it…I forget what it was for.

Cut some fabric. Now to rethread the overlocker.

Wait, you people can thermoregulate?

One of the things I often hear guys complain about when it comes to dating is that they got rejected (or sometimes ghosted) without understanding why. Here are 3 possibilities to consider... www.girlonthenet.com/blog/why-i-g...

I think I would really enjoy having a shoulder cat for about a day. Then the muscle fatigue etc would set in. It would be a glorious day though.

Yep.

Went for a walk* IN THE SUNSHINE!! *limp

After six+ weeks of the kid waking me up at 6.30 (or earlier) sleeping till 8 feels like the world’s longest lie in ever.

I bought a prerty thing but it wasn’t THE pretty thing and now I’m considering returning it for the crime of *checks notes* being the compromise.

#AmReading A main character is called Elijah and I’ve never found a name so uncomfortable to read. It’s used a lot, and my brain has seized on it as a tongue twister. Which is weird because it’s not like this is the first ever character with this name I’ve read.

This one seems to have got a lot of people who don't like cars very het up. They're arguing "well fine, fit them with trackers, why should drivers get away with speeding etc". This is a COLLOSAL mistake, and a perfect example of how you really need to think about unintended consequences first. 🧵

*extraordinarily stoned voice* Have you ever really LOOKED at the middle of a capital B, man? It's, like, roads diverging in the woods!

Yesterday felt like all of the things were happening around the house so naturally today no things will happen around the house. It’s called balance babes look it up.

I have many journals and sketch books that I have started…and gone nowhere with. I’d like to reuse / repurpose these, but I feel silly for the failed start pages. What should I do?

Finally catching up on The Diplomat S3 and to say that I SQUEALED when a certain character’s husband walked in and it was a certain actor. SQUEALED I say.

CN: bigotry. Someone left this review... for the musical CABARET I am dead.

I have SUCH a book hangover.

About to actually finish a bottle of perfume instead of having dregs (or more) lurking in many (many!) bottles. I’m very pleased with this, I’ve always liked the idea of a signature scent.

New by me for Wired: Apple’s Family Sharing Helps Keep Children Safe. Until It Doesn’t • www.wired.com/story/apples... Family sharing is a great convenience but tech companies set it up with a major point of failure that becomes apparent when families fracture.

Whilst I hate the guys who challenge anyone wearing a band t-shirt to name 4 albums or whatever, it did slightly bum me out the other day when a mate's 12 year old daughter thought Nirvana was just the clothing brand that made her t-shirt

I have Issues with the concept of writers block, such that I wrote a post on it. kjcharleswriter.com/2019/11/13/w... There are a ton of things you can do if you're struggling to write, and none of them require using the theft-based environment-ruining plagiarism machine.

Today I got a legit email from someone with one of the worst names for suggesting it’s phishing or something like that, ever. That poor person.

What? An "AI" browser that totally tracks every single thing you do, almost certainly to train its AI model? Unpossible!

Of course women don’r like the Cybertruck. Women only want one thing, and it’s a Landy.

Every time there is a planned Women's Strike here in Iceland (see: kvennaar.is/english/), the commentary runs along predictably offensive lines "Women stop working and nothing happens to the economy. Shows you how useless they are, hur hur hur". No, things pretty much grind to a halt

#AmReading Never has a man escaped death by so slim a margin of impeccable self control.. ‘Have you considered starting an exercise program, Lady Vorkosigan?’ I. Howled.

I used the phrase ‘This must change’ in a post here yesterday and since then I’ve had this stuck in my head. So now it’s your turn. music.apple.com/gb/album/it-...

OK I know I said I wanted more energy and not to need 2x naps daily to function, but now that I have some energy, I don’t know what to do with it all. I already did two loads of laundry, ran the dishwasher, hoovered downstairs and did some sewing and some reading. Now what?

Under Over Over - West Hampstead So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains. The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

Taurus: Things aren’t as bad as they seem, they’re worse.

Gemini: Wrestling with your demons is usually a metaphor for boring things like developing effective coping strategies and discipline. Not today though. Today Satan is going to hit you with a folding chair.

Column that’ll doubtless annoy some audiophiles, but whatever: I simplified my home audio setup – and Ruark’s MR1 Mk3s proved I was right www.stuff.tv/features/i-s... Basically, it’s my love letter to simplification and some wee speakers I’ve adored for years now (along with their successors).

I am failing to nap. AMA
