I live in Carmarthenshire with my husband, I make things, draw things, play with tools and techniques and enjoy my garden.

I design software for schools, doing research, systems design, illustration, ui and graphic design.

I believe things can and should be better. The economy, internet, politics, are made by humans and in our power to change, they aren’t laws of nature.

Politically left, morally Quaker-flavoured animist humanist

The second of the screens I ordered arrived and it woorrrrks yay. It is so thin and light it doesn’t seem possible. This and the round one are for entirely separate projects but I only have one Raspberry Pi at the mo. I know right, the cheapest part of it.

Recovery day today, no work, no making things, no planning making anything, no difficult reads, not a mental lentil to be seen. I watched a Columbo*, a 007, read a couple of short graphic novels, pootled around the garden taking photos of flowers and ate food cooked for me.

* one of the ones where they try and make the murderer less sympathetic but it just reads as 1970s misogyny.

It was my turn to get the nurse inexperienced at putting a cannula in. My soon-to-be-visible-from-orbit bruise is a sign that South Wales’ nursing staff gained valuable skills and experience today.

I have had A Procedure at the hospital and all went well. Very grateful for this waiting area outside the hospital full of flowers.

I'm seeing a lot more of this kind of thing, they know they can't just introduce conscription because to put a country on a war footing takes cultural change. This kind of event slowly introduces this nationalistic culture to the point where suddenly the idea of marching off to war isn't unusual. Be very aware when you support this kind of thing, particularly if you're young.

So I got struck by lightning a long time ago and the most important thing I took away from that is just how simply quickly the human brain can comprehend what is happening

You see a bolt of lightning strike a tree and it happens within 1 millionth of a second. When you get struck, that lasts for several minutes. Immediately your brain tells you to just drop to the floor. You can’t. You don’t even have the time to turn your body off and hit the ground. Time doesn’t exist anymore.

But what your mind does, is revolve through every single scenario in one billionth of a second. It’s fascinating how fast it calculates when it needs to.

Eventually, it ends up with, “well I guess this is how I die now”
Not fun.

I mean I didn’t die (clearly) but I certainly didn’t dodge a bullet there

Apparently we need creative leadership that use ai to vibe-code virtual musical instruments over Teams chat rather than shitpost about it on mastodon.

Oops, I guess.
