Yes, rather not see how old I am in real life.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A small human (3?) is studiously pushing a small trolley along next to Mum.
Small Human has MANY opinions about what can go in his trolley. Chocolate? Yes. Bananas? Yes. Frozen spinach? NOOOO.
He is a grocery connoisseur and knows what he likes. (1)

Honestly, I did a whole day on yoga for healthy lower backs.

I thought it was Wednesday today. I think the undies may last until we get home.

You can hang from door frames, bend your knees.
Or lie, face down, over a large table.

I got asked once, couldn’t think of what I was reading as I usually have several things on the go.

Why cannot the NHS app hold the letters from my vascular consultant? It holds details of every Covid test I have ever had.

I have a list in the emergency section of my ‘phone. The allergies are all to medications, not food though.

She says she doesn’t think she could last 90 minutes in a yoga class 😳 wonder what kind of yoga she is used to.

boutonnière deformity

Looking through my NHS app for stuff on my veins to try and see how they are classed I come across #BoutonniereDeformity I do remember a GP saying my fingers ‘swan necked’.

I haven’t been able to find the stuff on my veins though.

Someone has messaged me through Facebook about yoga classes, yes, I am still teaching, that is why there are events on the Facebook page. The times, dates and locations are all there.

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Better than team sports instead

matsyendrasana.bsky.social @matsyendrasana.bsky.social · 23h

I was born in 1972, apparatus was used in the winter, I taught myself to climb ropes, it all came back to me when I got into aerial arts. Poor kids are missing out these days, having to play team sports instead.

Concrete floor beneath too.

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Badenoch wants to eliminate ‘rip off degrees’ like English. The usual philistine crap that a degree is just about work. The mission to create the stupidest nation on earth. And counterproductive. Young people will work for years. They’ll retrain endlessly. A degree can help them learn how to learn
