Just watched & enjoyed it, but I agree it would've been better as a series.

Sharleen Jonsson @sharleenj.bsky.social · Sep 7

So nice to hear this course continues to pay off. I've registered for the one that starts in a couple weeks.

Not sure how I stumbled upon this @dianaurban.bsky.social Substack post, but it's one I'm going to refer back to next time I'm proofing any #writing.

Just bought an electric range. A reviewer of this model says read the manual so that's what I'm doing. On p. 4: "Never attempt to dry a pet in the oven." Whew. Who knew, right? Now wondering how much I could get paid in the writing room of an appliance manufacturer. #writing #cats #dogs #safety

Fascinating. The older I get, the more I want to know about what goes on when we #sleep.

Sadly me and my sister are having to look for a care home for our Mum & Dad. Turned down the first one. It really didn't look very nice and the layout was complicated, but the main reason for me was the activities board advertised Art's and Craft's.

Well done!

#ageing: “if you wake up in the morning, you’re ageing successfully”

Ashton Applewhite @thischairrocks.bsky.social · Jul 7

The Guardian asked me to write something on a very juicy topic: "aging gracefully." www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...

The thing about ‘ageing gracefully’: whatever you call it, I’ll do it my way

One thing I’ve noticed is that as they grow older, people tend to care less about others’ opinions. Sometimes that’s liberating

On the day that millions march in the streets.
When police threaten to shoot protesters "graveyard dead".
On the day that we witness horrific political assassinations it's time to talk about the rise of fascist threat in the United States.

Husband carved this sculpture of a guy surprised by an eagle. Meant to be amusing & not political. Now he's added a #Canada accent. Politics hits our garden fence.
