the part that was fun was not being stuck on a phone but instead sharing time with another human being.

i love editing. i do more editing than i do writing, so pages end up back to blank. i’m an unpublished author, but a raging editor.
(i even edit text whilst in my mind, before even writing it down. i’m **that** good)
I'm going to be 47 this year.
When I was a toddler my Dad worked out I was left handed. He had to really push to ensure my Catholic Grandmother didn't punish me for using things with my left hand.
She used to tell me stories about the nuns punishing kids by hitting them on the hands with a ruler.
So we're still within living memory of lefties being punished for existence.
It takes generational commitment to ensure that human rights aren't retracted. It's a neverending fight.

i’m excited when it comes with no internet connection.
It's #WorldBicycleDay and a good time to mention this graph from Scientific American, first published in 1973, and updated 2025.
A person on a bike is the world's most energy-efficient mode of transport, and it's not even close. Salmon use three times as many joules/g/km to get around, and then it's jet aircraft at 5x.
As a women in her mid 40’s I do feel that any symptom of anything I may have is now just chalked up to the perimenopause.
This is what my online life tells me…and what my friends of the same age often hear from their GPs.
But women in their 40’s can have other medical conditions, including pregnancy and cancer.
We need to be heard properly.
