3yr old: Where does poo come from?
Me (making it simple):You just had lunch
Her: Yes
Me:The food goes into your mouth & into your tummy.Our body takes all the good stuff and the rest goes to our bottom & when you go to the toilet that comes out as poo
*Stunned silence
Her: And Tigger?

Now that we're learning this lesson that centralized silos are brittle and operate in the interest of the owners not the users...

...please note the move toward centralizing podcasts into apps from Amazon/Audible, Spotify, iHeart, YouTube, TikTok etc.

If you like podcasts, use an RSS-based podcast player. Support the open ecosystem. We can only survive if you clearly see the threat and act supportively.

Living with a person with #dementia is harder than I ever imagined. People say it's like living with a child, which is true to some degree, but that child knows they are an adult & knows when you're patronising them. And imagine you show that child how to do something they've done a hundred times before but they have forgotten again by the next day and the next. And imagine that child keeps forgetting where the bathroom is or how to open a door... That's just part of living with dementia.

Honestly, is there ever a bad time to post a pic of a blue-footed booby?

#BirdsOfMastodon

I see the Wordle sharers have found Mastodon. That was one thing I thought I’d left behind 😆

It seems the polite thing to do here on Mastodon is to offer an #introduction post.

I’m a former radio presenter and #voicover (still do the occasional recording), now an #audioproducer and writer. I also have a sideline selling #vintage costume jewellery and knick knacks.

For 4 years pre-lockdown I was #travelling and #housesitting / #petsitting but now live with my mum who has #dementia. Love animals and have an adopted ginger tabby called Nala.

What is the higher authority tactic in #negotiation & how do you counter it?

Really want to teach my girls chess so I've bought them their first set for Xmas, but now I can't stop thinking about it.
Our neighbour’s tree hasn’t got the memo that we’re heading into winter and has decided to produce spring blossom!
