A moment that changed me: My unbearable grief kept growing – until I found solace in a silent community After my dad died, I tried to cope by keeping busy: a day job, a side hustle, socialising and working out. But I kept bursting into tears in public. At a Quaker meeting, it was as if someone had turne...

I read this article this morning and it seems they're not all Christians?? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
It was a lovely thing to read.
And good on them, and screw the WI and girl guides.

I don't feel bad 😂
One thing was that the old alarm was incredibly annoying for him, but we just got a new (SAD) one.

Also, alarm clock on the other side of the room. I've done this for years now and never slept in!

The urge is sew is strong. I have everything prepped and ready to go but **life** says absolutely not 😣

The librarians love it too. I tell everyone I know to use the app rather than but 🥳

I've gotten into a habit of ordering any books that catch my eye on the libraries app rather than buying. Most of the time it can be slow but this week I've ended up with 7 books to read 😭

Absolutely nothing better than a library haul 😀

About time! This will massively improve Belfast nightlife 🥳

I've never really thought about it but I find it ok! Just as long as I have a good pair of left handed scissors and the iron is the right way around 😀

I would go!! What an amazing opportunity! Would there be an option to slowly move towards those roles once you're in place??

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

AI slop and the destruction of knowledge This week I was looking for info on what cognitive scientists mean when they speak of ‘domain-general’ cognition. I was curious, because the nuances are relevant for something I am researching at t…

AI slop and the destruction of knowledge irisvanrooijcogsci.com/2025/08/12/a...

Unwittingly bought an AI generated trouser pattern from Etsy. Poor instructions and the print just about lines up.

Whyyyy why did you do this 😭

I did not expect the Jayne Mansfield doc to be such a gut punch.

Pure delighted with myself. I’ve been teaching myself to sew and just wanted to make something that I would actually want to wear in daily life.
A few mistakes made but failing and learning with every new piece, it’s so much fun 🥰

Every app I've opened today..

The new Lorde album is a religious experience.

In less than 2 weeks there will be bonfires all over the North with 'kill all taigs' on them. Along with effigies of politicians on them. No one will be prosecuted for this. I doubt Starmer will even talk about it.

Doechii not on iplayer??! Everything else from last night is up #glasto

Same with podcasts. I can’t afford 10+ different Patreons!

Such an amazing movie, I (and the whole family) have seen it too many times to count 😀

The only inspiration we need!

I'm up in Belfast but heading south on Friday. Could post on my way?

Where are you based? My mum has a tonne from a patient that passed away and she can't return them to the trust.

De #Madleen nadert Gaza. Mag wel wat meer (sociale) media aandacht krijgen!

This sums up (or not, it’s very long) how I’ve felt about tech for so long. It’s a disease and rotten to the core.

Really good hospice shop in high street beside snappy snaps. Also one on the corner behind the old tk maxx. Oxfam on fountain street also a goodie!
Oh and the hospice shop on the Antrim road beside the Tesco.
We are very spoiled in Belfast now!
