Guess I’ll be looking at Ireland today.

Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

HE management: the cup is fully empty and smashed but if we give it the acronym C.U.D.D.L.E. I’m sure no one will notice

On the 6 of August we sent a staff open letter to our VC asking the university divest from investment in Israeli military.
Today he finally answered (after we allied with students) and suggested we try a mindfulness seminar.

Having rewatched Carrie yesterday I continue to be of the (arguably mainstream) belief that the real one only horror is the opening set piece.

I’m a big fan of sci fi in general but worry how some excellent film/tv adaptations might not be fully reflected in original books due to not great writing. So thank you!

The local theatre at Kingston is doing a staged version of Never Let Me Go so curious to see how that pans out.

Haha should have known you’d have all the recs!

Which also means I may go on a Le Guin binge though looking for similar, politically interesting and well written sci-fi, pals. Any recs welcome!

The good thing about having been stuck on a writing retreat without WiFi for 2 weeks is that I started bed time fiction reading again. And the good thing about that is that I chose to start this reading with The Dispossessed - as great as I (hazily) remembered from circa 20 years ago.

Let' see... But yeah had to say bye to that other place eventually.
