I feel like stuff like this is too often overlooked in discussions around technology-based mitigations of climate change. If we use tech innovations to make it easy and convenient for people to use the “greener” alternative that already exists, they’ll use it.

Living in the Future benefit: the combination of Google Maps public transit directions and phone-tap onboard payment makes it SO EASY to take public trams/buses/metros when traveling now. It’s fantastic not to have to resort to taxis just for lack of easy access to the local transit ticketing system

“Copyright growing pains” is one hell of a euphemism for the biggest IP theft in history

Yes. All of this.

I bang on about this a lot: I think the combination of a global pandemic, underregulated internet/SM, collapse/corruption of trustworthy media, plus now unregulated genAI, is a wildly toxic environment for radicalisation & mental health. We see the results of that in our politics & lives every day

I knew I liked you.

Soft rain, brownies baking, and coffee in bed = a perfect Sunday morning.

Well, they have to invent things they're bad at, obviously.

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

I may have to give up being a strong, independent woman. I'm fucking exhausted.

I thought the "You're doing it wrong" genre of articles had peaked years ago, but "You're breathing wrong" has to set some kind of new high-water mark. www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/h...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Antici…pation!

Antici…pation!

I know this is boring, but I bought myself linen summer pyjamas, and they are honestly life-changing. I have never worn such comfortable pyjamas, and pyjamas are Very Important.

This is awful! I'm so sorry.

It's Monday and I'm starting a new coaching series on my socials. Here's the first Mandy's #MondayShift: mandycollinscoaching.com/peacemaker-o...

This is going to make me sound Very Old, but I just cannot get into Spotify. I love my CDs and am considering a turntable. 😂

Growing vegetables is soooo satisfying.

I'm having one of those days: adulting and the hustle feel unrelenting. So I'm rowdsourcing inspiration.

Tell me what you do to inject a little more joy, adventure or whimsy into your life. I'm not talking expensive overseas holidays – what are the small, everyday rituals that add some sparkle?

They are the dogs of my heart.

I know, right?!

Sweet. I find all the bully breeds to be the soppiest dogs.

And their rates are stuck in the early 2000s, to add insult to injury.

An eight-week-old Staffie puppy, black, with a pink belly. She's fast asleep in the corner of her blue and grey bed, snuggled into an orange blanket, with her legs sticking straight out.

Timeline cleanse: my Staffie two years ago, when she was still brand new.

My to-do list is so long, it's making me nauseous.

*stuffs around on social media*

Why do velociraptors make bad pets?
Because they're all dead

illustration of a man an horse skeleton. it looks wrong, so very very wrong

How not to illustrate the similarity of bone structures between humans & horses.

I've just re-read that post, and sheesh, perhaps I should not be editing anything today.

I did not plan to work today, since it's a public holiday, but am comforting myself after a quick book chapter edit that my Calvinist work ethic is part of my heritage.
