Am very tired and in transit in Singapore after a lovely trip - for work, but also fun - to Bali. And a Balinese astrologer told me to manifest, but out in the world a core desire. And honestly, all I can think is: is it possible for me to fancy someone who is emotionally available?

There is such an obsession with eating protein… I looked up what I should eat (a short, but well rounded woman in 40s). It’s like - 2 eggs, a pot of yogurt, and a flat white. And maybe throwing in a bit of cheese.

May Day Reminder: The Federal Minimum Wage - in the richest country EVER - is still only $7.25/hr. UNACCEPTABLE.

Whenever people in tv show or films are up in the middle of the night because they can’t sleep… it doesn’t ring true. What do you mean you aren’t just lying in bed in panic, stewing about how you need to sleep, like a normal person?!

All of this, and my 2cents - social media has also been a place for me to find people who write etc on things I’m interested in, who I didn’t (couldn’t!) find through mainstream media - those of marginalised backgrounds eg. So not echo chamber, but like a library build for my tastes.

A very very specific British cultural thing is pints at the airport, no matter the time. Three junior Drs - absolute lads - at 10.30am with full pints. Discussing how they don’t want to be ER doctors. No judgment, just find it very amusing and bewildering.
