That I did not know about Gondar, means I need to know more about Africa and the cities on the Nile. I learnt something today

Brain is mush, and frankly it’s rude I have physical form right now. I wish to be incorporeal so I can haunt my friends because that’s more fun than whatever existence is 👀

Big changes have left me feeling a bit lost at work. It will all work out but it can be very hard when it’s all been the same for so long.

I need home to feel sorted. Then I will feel better. I am tired.

Hello friends.

I did a democracy today and used my vote. Two things to vote for this time.

How’s your day?

Let me help you "do your own research" on vaccines. I spend an unhealthy amount of time in cemeteries all over the world (they are often atop or on ancient sites in part). Pre 1920-1950s, they are FULL of small children. Post, there but rare. I wonder what happened from the 20s-50s?

Perfect timing for the weather here in the UK right now….

Saying ‘Thank You’ to ChatGPT Is Costly. But Maybe It’s Worth the Price. Adding words to our chatbot can apparently cost tens of millions of dollars. But some fear the cost of not saying please or thank you could be higher.

Out of spite be polite…

How bureaucracy is damaging the NHS, todays experience:
- Go to GP
-referral
- choose clinic (then book yourself)
- Make appointment asked to send pictures
- Told nope that’s not it (after no seeing me in person)
- referred back to GP
- stuck in loop….

With today’s ruling in the UK, I can only echo what has already been eloquently been said by many friends.

I’m with you. I see you. Trans rights are human rights and this is a dangerous trend.

I love my friends, if you don’t think they deserve rights then I will fight you. End.

I ask people to watch this. This is why pseudoscience is dangerous and this review using very blunt terms, gives light to the nonsense being spread:

Jager LARP.
Excellent time being crew, how could such an adorable face be evil (spoiler I totally was)
Will go back to incite chaos again

And in addition they are not “back” for that you need a breeding population that can sustain itself. (If you want a read look up genetic bottleneck in cheetahs). I’m interested to see where this goes and what they do next…but be careful with what you believe.

There is no easy way out of extinction. This is amazing and such a wonderful breakthrough in discovery, but this is not fully a solution. Alone these are a proof of the process, that we can patch a genome and bring a close cousin to life. But we still have to preserve what we have.

This is not bringing back an extinct species.

The nuance (and my brain started playing the Jurassic Park theme) is this is a patched genome so not fully what would have been but a hybrid (for lack of a better term at this time in the morning)

No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction Colossal Biosciences claims three pups born recently are dire wolves, but they are actually grey wolves with genetic edits intended to make them resemble the lost species

I’ve been seeing this all over, and in the news and it’s been bothering me. I will make a polite request to check what’s being said by various media, not every th ing os factual and most things have an angle.

I have asked this before but in a different way, but I want to try something.

How do you know you’re ready to date?

Also how does anyone date now? I don’t think I ever knew how to (falling into relationships was a thing) but what if I want to do that mindfully?

Any advice? Daffodil for reading!

The urge to make some cute overalls (when you already have a project to finish) because a character would totally wear those…. Damn you brain.

I am just starting to read Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree.
Looks like I’m back into reading again. I need more like this.

Suggestions for more cosy fantasy, well written stories preferable with female writers and or 🏳️‍🌈 themes. Please and thank you!

Update - cancelled my breakdown and got rescued by my sister when the time changed from 9:20 to 12:20 instead to 12:00 to 3:00. Yes that’s AM.

When I’m told to “call the police if you feel unsafe” um no it’s dark and cold and I have no heating. It’s a Tuesday what is going on?

Battery was not the issue. Suspect starter but won’t know till RAC get here between 9:20 and 12:20

Isn’t it fun when your car doesn’t start and your breakdown folk say it’s going to be 9:20 to 12:20 before they get to you….

Got to be KING OF SUMMER! Oberon of the summer court at Against the Verdant. What an excellent way to spend a weekend. Wonderful nerds.

You know you’re at that stage of life when you’re screaming in your house about the Masked singer…. But I’m not sorry.

Yeah there’s an oddly calm little bit in my head and that makes itself heard more often now. Positive moves x

Well failing at this. Must work on this.

Intruders in my garden! Not the smartest though. Bloody pheasants 😆
