I have the flavour of ADHD which makes waiting really difficult for me so arriving exactly on time is my ideal. I have to hide my irrational annoyance with anyone who is ridiculously early for something as I hate feeling rushed. My OH prefers to be early so we are usally slightly ETTA.
I've just started doing an advanced driving course after 18 years of driving. What I'm learning is that active, engaged driving is not only safer, but leads to smoother driving (so less wear on the car) and makes driving less stressful and less mentally demanding.

Thanks for the link, it mirrors my distaste for non reference footnotes.
I agree, I find foot notes really spoil the flow of my reading and they feel jarring, like being interrupted in the middle of a really good conversation. I usually skip them completely or avoid books altogether with too many footnotes.
To have food waste bins a few years ago. But I am really hopeful this is what turns local voters against Reform.
Our local council (in the UK) has just introduced an extra food waste bin for every household. Admittedly the comms from our Reform council havent been great but the local facebook groups seem to be losing their mind over having one small extra bin. I don't know what the fuss is about, as we used
Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies - god damn it, you've got to be kind.' Kurt Vonnegut. Author and humanist.
Humanist and author Kurt Vonnegut died #OnThisDay 2007. So it goes.

Autism and ADHD are labels for particular neurotypes not mental illnesses!
A little bit of silliness for the intentionally childfree. What's the one thing stopping you having kids?
I'll start - the child eating troll who lives in my attic.
picture of Liz Truss POLITICS FOR You Politics For You @PoliticoForYou BREAKING 米米米 Follow ... Liz Truss suggests "underground transgender mafia" may be responsible for Italian chocolate heist that saw over 12 tonnes of KitKats stolen. THE LIZ TRUSS SHOW
the British trans mafia did not steal KitKats, Liz.
they would have stolen Cadbury Eggs.
It could be something like the 'Trans day of joy' where trans creators are not just visible but are at their brightest and most vivid. A day where trans people take up space and are celebrated.
I'm cis so this may be a terrible idea, feel free to be honest.
Kirsty Noem needs to be in prison for what she has done as part of her job. What have the evil acts she has committed got to do with her husband dressing in a non gender conforming way?
Perhaps we could have a specific day every month or every week where we boost work by trans creators?

Listening to the wonderful new album by Raye 'This music may contain hope'. I love its unashamed sumptuous storytelling and the theatrical scale. What am amazing singer, song writer and arranger.

(The Arts Library is how you would imagine a university library would look) and the most beautiful surroundings. I felt very nurtured as a student and people were really friendly. I don't think Bangor University would be a good fit for Mrs Oakeshott as it doesn't tend to attract overpriveliged twits
I am a Bangor University Alumini and it is a fantastic place. I did study music rather than Ocean Sciences but its a great place to learn whichever subject you do. Student living costs are one of the lowest in the UK, its a beautiful walkable city, it has some of the most beautiful buildings
