Dear 50+ “conservative” humans, WRT participation trophies &c: I got a bunch, because I grew up in a place that didn’t value the things I was good at (there were, and are, some of those). It ...

I’ve been putting in 12 hour days since the US election result came in; for me, that was the small hours of Wednesday morning. I’ve been trying not to think. Focused on my responsibilities to my ...

I was sat reading just now when I dropped out of the book - I do this recently, fucking meds making me spacey, and the lack of sleep, fran’s side of the mattress is wrecked and she lacks the know...

---

Circles within spirals. 11 and a half (+change) years ago, I was waiting like I have been waiting. I was on holiday, early January 2005, with my family - we’d gone up round the bay to anglesea, w...

---

If Scotland cut and run, do I lose my UK passport? Do I, regardless of that, gain a Scottish one? Should I try for an italian one via my paternal grandfather? Will all of the tech companies leave...

Two thoughts 1: in the shit of history, few of us are pigs. Some are turnips. 2: my mind has become perfectly vapid. I’m positively jejune, darlings. So here I sit, finally and conclusively a tur...
