@doot@glitterkitten.co.uk yup. Our society is so focused on earning being the one and only measure of success that it leaves no room for anything else.

It would be nice if my "smart" phone was smart enough to realise that if it's unlocked and being asked to jump between apps, then I'm awake and don't need my wakeup alarm. It should be a setting, though, not a hard-coded thing. I still need my stop doomscrolling and get up alarm.

(For reference, my favourite flowers are native ones that come in dirt with easy care instructions and I think Mucha and Van Gogh made gorgeous art. I'll eat dinner with nearly anyone because I like food, but I'm happily monogamous so don't get ideas.)

A man buying a dress for a woman to wear to dinner with him is not generous and romantic. It's creepy and controlling. This trope needs to die.

Send her a bunch of her favourite flowers, or a note on a pretty card in her favourite art style, or some quirky gift that has relevance to you both. Don't expect to dictate what she wears.

(This toot inspired by an episode of The Orville that says some interesting stuff about gender dynamics, then unironically... a dress in a box.)

That all makes sense.

I'd not seen Chainagram before. I like it! There's a lot more to it than standard word chains, but still very doable. I like that I can enter partial words so I can"park" the letters I intend to carry through.

Today's Easy has two solutions. There were two copies of the letter L next to each other which could be used interchangeably. I got the congratulations message then I hit "reveal" and the other solution was shown.

I don't know if this is necessarily a good or bad thing, but I was a little thrown as I'd assumed there would be one unique solution.

Intriguing little puzzle!

I read some now and then. I could never join in because I refused to use the official app. I'm hoping to vote at least sometimes if you bring something similar here.

The wild garlic I got from a friend last year has settled in well. I may be able to harvest some next year. For now they're pretty.

A large tub by a wall. In the tub are a bush with speckled leaves, a solar lamp, and some ceramic mushrooms. Near the front of the tub is a clump of wild garlic, with shiny green leaves and white star-shaped flowers.

Be prepared for everything to cost more than you remember.

Google Maps is a good resource for journey planning and has most public transport timetables built into it.

ID do good SIM-only deals (you may have to get it sent to the folks you're visiting).

Masks are still a good idea, but almost nobody bothers.

If you want to pop across the channel, there will be extra paperwork, charges and checks.

Lots of places are cash-free / card only.

I think I've done all my planting for the year now. I've had to scale back somewhat due to long covid. Nothing that needs potted on, and hopefully, the companion crops will do OK with minimal input. The leftovers from last year's potatoes are certainly enjoying the mixed weather we've been having.

Umm... that's what I said?

UK voting is always a mark on a paper. If nobody knows how you mark your paper, nobody knows which candidate or party you voted for.

The secret bit refers to how you mark your paper, not whether you turn up.

Recording that you've been issued a paper has been standard practice for a very long time. It's how they make sure each person votes only once and is the main mechanism for preventing voter fraud.

Hello! This is my #Introduction post.

I've just set up this account as the server I was on seems to have died. I will have to figure out how to re-follow the interesting folks I'd found there.

I'm mum to a very queer and neurodiverse little family. We love playing #boardgames and watching #SciFi together. We also love sharing food, facts and stories with each other.

I work on #environmental stuff for a #community trust, and I also help #authors #SelfPublish .
