I stopped dying my hair a couple of years ago & was happy to let it revert to its natural state of mousey with a dollop of grey. Until y'day when for no discernable reason I had the strongest urge to dye it dark green.
It would look absolutely ridiculous on me.
I can't stop thinking about it. 💚

2. if you really want to understand resource and conflict management, watch animals
3. “Other” people are just like you!! Holy shit!!!

as an older person (+50) who’s never used ai, here are things i recommend about life:
- do DIY (the biggest is learn to cook but any other work you can do for yourself, learn it and do it)
- observe nature (all the animals around us have already figured life out)
- talk to people in real life

In case anyone wondered how out of touch my fashion sense is, I just saw a post showing a really appealing shirt only to discover it was an advert for a museum exhibit.

Hold up. They might be onto something BRILLIANT here. Making housework a competitive event might be the one thing that could make me enthusiastic enough to want to participate.
Imagining curling but without the stone, like international floor polishing. Reckon it'd be a big hit.

Ireland has shown that basic income works — not just socially, but economically.
Give people time and security to develop their skills, and the returns flow back to society. Now let’s go further.

After much soul searching, I've chosen to go with the traditional (if slightly pedestrian) method of yarn to attach the blanket pieces together. I'm on row 3 of 21 and have had to undo it twice already, so we can safely say that counting to 5 isn't one of my fortés.

Plato knew a thing or two. Problem is our governmental system still ignores his advice. In the UK our electoral system is specifically designed to enhance these shortcomings. If we don't get electoral reform before the next election, the consequences could be catastrophic for this country.

I love the various craft competition shows on TV but they all make it look faaaar too easy and I cockily find myself thinking "I could do that!" far more often than the subsequent evidence warrants.

I love how excited the Olympic athletes get about collecting and swapping badges with the other nations.

I often find myself getting overly irate when quiz show contestants persist in not choosing what is CLEARLY the best category to answer questions on.
If they don't stop pretending they can't hear me, I'm going to start taking it personally pretty soon.
