I go on a silly little walk to… Wanstead Flats On new sun and old shadows

Apologies but I have been at it again - it being, walking about, having thoughts about the walking about.

Nat says “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about neurodiversity and connection – what it means to want community, to long to be seen and encountered, but also feel limited social drive and find being around other people systemically exhausting – and am finding this idea of the metaxu as something which both separates and connects, a link as well as a barrier, quite fruitful.”

Lovely, not least as another ex-Wanstead regular. This paragraph was a flash of light as an aged undiagnosed neurodiverse of some sort, thank you.

Yes, to me personally, it is boring to just suddenly be able to eg fly

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

I think we'll just be in a "pronouns: any" situation, certainly I have used both "good boy" and "good girl" this evening. You know what! He doesn't understand english OR have a concept of gender.

*saying affirmations in the mirror* I am a big horse. I am a beautiful horse with powerful legs. I am fifteen hands tall. No one can catch me because of my powerful horse legs and wild nature. I have all the apples I want

Headline: An old woman called my baby a knob - I refused to laugh it off

Ok but was the baby a knob?

i am only interested in content destroyers

I am half forgiven in that he still wants to be in the same room as me and doesn't feel the need to hide - but he also is now wary of sofa time and cuddles (understandable as I used them to trap him AND I misused the slow blink to gain trust)

It's very funny because this is not otherwise a place he ever sits. But now all the places he usually sits are POISONED I guess, by association with me

al I wanna be is someone who gets to see a giant woman (a giant woman)

Some poor lady who just got ratio'd like a Democratic senator, Tammy Komoff, saying looks like Firefly may be coming back! Announcement coming March 15. You all excited?

Andrew Neil lives in a mansion in France that he moved to using EU rules where he doesn't pay any tax in the UK.

And he spends his time moaning about the EU he chooses to live in and the poor state of the UK, which is due to tax dodgers like him.

Nope, no thank you, don't like this at all.

She's a good parrot

Angry orb won't come near me this evening.

Much more befitting of the solemnly of a tortoise!
