Sight loss folk. I'm including a piece about birdwatching with sight loss in something. "Bird watching" feels insensitive (although appreciate many have partial sight loss). Is there a better phrase please? @jothehat.bsky.social @wyrd.systems

When I was yoof, I found Stay Now by Hazel O'Connor to be such a tense, relatable song.

Hmmm. Been having the most awful headaches associated with trying to wear the hearing aids. Discovered yesterday that - this is a common neurodivergent thing. My brain feels assaulted by them & I need to use them in tiny doses & build up. I do wish the NHS knew to tell me this

Small child in all in one waterproofs & wellies. Go sit in a puddle, love. They frown on that when you're grown up. Sadly

Lovely dad would have been 90 today. It's very strange when you lose someone comparatively young (59) to imagine what they would have been like if they'd have lived. Still loving jazz, pubs, rugby, cricket & messing about in the woods on his tiny tractor I reckon (no brakes. He'd drive into a tree)

I keep saying that advert for an AI (I think it’s Copilot, maybe?) where a woman is in an important meeting and keeps asking it to respond to her client’s negotiations in real time, then repeats whatever the AI says without checking, and honestly if I were her boss she’d be *so* fired.

Thought I’d just pass on some relationship advice my grandma once gave to me: if you’re unhappy with your partner or spouse why don’t you replace their head in every photograph in your house with a picture of your celebrity crush? x

Tracey Emin is remarkable www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...
‘Regrets? Number one: smoking. Number two: taking it up the wrong hole’: Tracey Emin on reputation, radical honesty – and Reform
She scandalised the art world in the 1990s with her unmade bed, partied hard in the 2000s – then a brush with death turned the artist’s life upside down. Now she’s as frank as ever

God. American medical costs are an obscenity. I'm glad James Van Der Beek's family have had fantastic support from a fundraiser but nobody should have that kind of debt dealing with that kind of horrific tragedy. Or indeed any health emergency

Rose Tremain absolutely glorious in last week's Observer about annoying phrases. I totally concur: The worst, she says, is that ungrammatical idiocy "See it, say it, sorted" on the train network. Also, she reported a theft to British Transport Police which (obviously) wasn't ever sorted.
