I too had vivid dreams last night!... mine involved being at my childhood home, my beloved aunt was there but so was my creepy dad; I was a young adult supposed to be flying to the UK but running late for my flight and realised I hadn't booked any accommodation... not the best dream ever. Luckily I woke up feeling rested and relaxed. First time in weeks I've slept this well??

If people message me with that and nothing else I assume they don't have any serious questions, and I will not respond until I have nothing else to do (or they get around to that they want first). Dafuq, I'm not your girlfriend responding to booty calls (you up?)

I am listening to some "racist academics" including jollyheretic ( the very far left would call them haters ) so I can understand their arguments and pick apart the false reasoning and bad science.

So many assumptions, so many value judgements.

the first main thing is that they respect science, understand that science based facts have power, so try to use science or couch their arguments in scientific terms.

So many people have trod that ground before, nazis being the main ones, nazis still do that but evangelicals are doing it too now.

a YT I'm listening to now is expending a lot of effort showing how liberal people can be racist , and that can be true in a way. ( it usually paternalism, not based in ill will, just not well thought out is all. Overall the assumption by liberals is equality ) Liberal individuals making mistakes in enacting beliefs based on equality does not make far right beliefs true.

I rarely use Siri. On the odd occasion I do, when it responds with its rude toned โ€˜uh-huhโ€™ it reminds me to not use it again for the foreseeable future. Why not have an option to change the response it gives?

don't ask. Just bark.

"Ten minutes" gives me a ten min timer. "Wedding anniversary" tells me when my wedding anniversary is. "Call my husband" done.

Made the decision to reschedule my uni meeting to next week. I am telling myself it's not because I'm a slacker but because I'm a grown-up who is sensible about pacing and recharging. I'm only just starting to feel like a human again today. I've volunteered to help an aunt clean their house tomorrow before a sale, to fill up the physical activity/service/connection buckets.

Also feeling increasingly glad about putting up a hard barrier to work stuff - kind of chuffed that the universe fubared my work laptop (appears it will now need to be nuked as nobody knows who enabled bitlocker, probably a previous employee. Thankfully we have everything important on OD/SP). I told people I might check emails, I think I won't be now!

Please end of day get here...

Not a bad day at all, just tired. Seems I have less sleep the earlier I go to bed because I wake up more.

I have an idea to try this weekend, and if it works I'm going to be a little shitty I didn't think of it earlier lol
