Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:
- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)
- Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex)
- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal

The Sinners performance at the Oscars last night wasn't a medley. It was a single song that refused to stay in one place. Blues to trap to ballet to breakdancing β not as a survey, but as a claim: these aren't separate genres. They're the same impulse, moving through time.
Labour is now, in practice, the most anti-migrant, anti-trans, anti most marginalised groups to be honest, government for decades. That doesn't help reduce bills or make it easier to find a job, rent, buy etc. It just further dehumanises already marginalised individuals for a political soundbite.
Oh, this is fun π
Sound interesting, would love to know more. I'll watch out for a video π
Full lunar eclipse showing a red cast over the surface of the moon. Poor quality image. Better ones elsewhere :-)
#lunareclipse disappointing photo, best I could manage with some light cloud creating a haze.
Bang on schedule here in #newzealand

Stop trying to make like there's some kind of grand strategy or secret plan at work. It's not that. Truly. It's the simplest thing you can possibly imagine.
Don't think "four-dimensional chess"
