@feijoa polarising?

Some great sentences in this piece.

"Rest serves work...rest is idleness with an alibi."

"The rester is preparing to be useful. The idler has, for an hour, simply declined to be."

@quixoticgeek deciding what to make that optimizes for 4 people's preferences. No one loves dinner any day so it feels like a losing battle. And when I do find stuff that works then the kids complain we always eat the same stuff. And dinner cooking time is just at an awkward time. I wish someone else just handled all of that and I could sit down to a good meal whenever I was hungry.

@feijoa oof indeed.

An incredible journey through women's clothes sizing. I aged out of high street sizes in my late 20s and will get to meltdown territory if I try to shop in stores (not because I'm unhappy with my body, because it is so much work). I stick to 2 online stores where I know the size fits.

When they get to 15 "most girls in their cohort will be able to find a size in the women’s clothing section.... This will also likely be the last time this ever happens in their lives."
