Misplaced Kiwi, living in Oxford. Studied cognition, management, and organisations. Works in IT across most major sectors.

Not working includes music - mostly not pop and guitar based (from old blues/roots through Indy and 70s rock to hard rock and touching on metal) - and dancing (often to a completely different type of music).

Just landed in Albuquerque and this guy was staring at me the entire flight and thought he was gonna murder me until I realized his sunglasses were on the back of his head.

This is your daily reminder that you have millions of friends and allies in the EU.

Also, laughter. To me laughter and spirit have always been closely connected, I feel alive, more hopeful, more human and even brighter when I laugh. So this is to confirm to you that you are allowed to surrender to mirth and silliness. It takes nothing away from you, and is a great way to be alive and stay sane.

This is your daily reminder that you have millions of friends and allies in the EU. Also, doomism. Yes, the world is in many ways in a bad place, and the decades to come are terribly dangerous. But no, crying "everything is lost" or "we're f....!" averts nothing and solves even less. Engagement, indignation, action will carry us forward. Doomism will drown us. The above reminder is as much to myself as to anyone else. #DailyReminder #Doomism https://mastodon.world/@SuneAuken/109664061634510298

BREAKING: RIP Jeff Beck. Legendary. He was 78. Passed away from bacterial meningitis, it is being reported. #Beck #JeffBeck #RIPJeffBeck
I'm going to mind my own business.
But my business this week is following Black women and liking every single post they make so they can ratio the fuck out of those bastards talking about their "dark" skin tone. We have some of that here in China too and that shit is evil.
It's wild how computer programming went from exclusively women's work to "we're not sexist we just don't think women are interested in it" in like 40 years

This is your daily reminder that you have millions of friends and allies in the EU.

Also, freedom of speech is also your right to choose who to listen to and who to ignore. Anyone claiming that you must listen to them because of free speech is playing you.

You're absolutely allowed to #ShrugAndBlock them. Being on SoMe doesn't mean you have to tolerate utterances you wouldn't accept in your home. Just cut out the hate-spewers. You're allowed.

This is your daily reminder that you have millions of friends and allies in the EU. Also, as Brexit shambles on as a boring, destructive fact of European life and an even more destructive fact of UK life, we are constantly reminded of the need for cooperation because the consequences of not cooperating stare us in the face daily. May we relearn the lesson as soon as possible. #DailyReminder https://mastodon.world/@SuneAuken/109624854222692966

Also, it's just another Tuesday and you are free to do what you usually do on Tuesdays. It may not be dramatic or life-changing but it's yours. A cup of coffee, a perfectly mundane task resolved, a phone call to an old friend. Sometimes, just sometimes, that's enough.

This is your daily reminder that you have millions of friends and allies in the EU. Also, the world sometimes leaves us scared witless. It's understandable and not a sign of weakness. Personally, I'm amazed that people sometimes overcome the anxiety and try to act constructively and with courage. It brings me comfort and even in a sense joy. #DailyReminder https://mastodon.world/@SuneAuken/109613685164870238

Asked if Rishi Sunak would be happy for his own family to only use the NHS, the Prime Minister's spokesman says that it would not be in the public interest to answer the question.
