Since deciding I no longer want to have a car, I mostly walk to where I need to get as I can't be bothered with buses. This leads to incidental fitness as yesterday when I had two separate events. Admittedly, the first was an over 50s aerobics dance class, which contributed a bit to this step count

A quotation from How to Fight by Thich Nhat Hanh
“Interbeing is the understanding that nothing exists separately from anything else. We are all interconnected. By taking care of another person, you take care of yourself. By taking care of yourself, you take care of the other person. Happiness and safety are not individual matters. If you suffer, I suffer. If you are not safe, I am not safe. There is no way for me to be truly happy if you are suffering. If you can smile, I can smile too. The understanding of interbeing is very important. It helps us to remove the illusion of loneliness, and transform the anger that comes from the feeling of separation.”

The wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh is sorely needed in these dark days.

Two years ago, it took me more than 10 attempts to beat Rhitahtyn on "very easy" mode. Today, my alt did it first time on normal mode. I know it's only a game, but I can't help feeling rather pleased with myself. Good to know I can improve on some things, though not jumping puzzles. #ffxiv

This is basically what C-3PO did in the original Star Wars movies and everyone was constantly telling him to shut the fuck up

What are your terms if anyone wishes to use any of your graphics in various communications, online, leaflets etc.? I'm thinking specifically of a group to which I belong, which is involved in anti-racism, opposing Reform and similar.

I totally share your opinion. As a translator, I am watching my profession becoming ruined by AI. I count myself lucky to be past retirement age and with savings, so have the freedom to walk away when it becomes too awful.

No one can stop the avalanche. It only comes to rest when it has buried everything underneath it. That is the lesson, that is the conclusion of what happened to us in 1933. That is the conclusion we must draw from our experiences, and it is the conclusion of my speech.

"The events from 1933 to 1945 should have been combated by 1928 at the latest. Later it was too late. We must not wait until the fight for freedom is called treason. We must not wait until the snowball has turned into an avalanche. You have to crush the rolling snowball.

Start – Aufstehen gegen Rassismus!


At the Stand Up to Racism conference today, I learned that he was far more than just a children's author. Christine Buchholz from Aufstehen Gegen Rassismus www.aufstehen-gegen-rassismus.de quoted some of his words that are of vital importance for our present conditions:

Till today, my only knowledge of Erich Kästner was that he wrote Emil and the Detectives and Emil and the Three Twins, both of which I read as a child. I had no knowledge of his background and politics.

Reform came second in my constituency in the last election, ahead of LibDems, Plaid and Tories. I find this terrifying.

White mage, FFXIV

Unashamed escapism: my white mage with the new staff I made for her today, plus her adorable Midgardsomr, who stole her heart the first time he settled on her shoulder.

Mae e'n arwydd difrifol i dynnu sylw bod bodau dynol yn gweithio ar y ffordd yma. Mae nhw'n wynebu risg pan fydd pobl yn ddiofal neu'n gyrru'n rhy gyflym

A serious sign to draw attention to the fact that human beings are working here. They are at risk when people are careless or drive too fast.
