Elizabeth McConnell @elizmcc.bsky.social · 25/09/2026What do we think they paid for their house compared to the value today? Might that difference cover the cost of a chimney renovation? Also this story is the perfect encapsulation of why Mike Moffat needs both a housing podcast AND a demographics podcast. 1200

Elizabeth McConnell @elizmcc.bsky.social · 10/07/2026At the start of the car chase scene in the first Bourne movie, Jason Bourne looks at a map of Paris for like one second before driving. When we go somewhere my partner looks at a map and retains how to get there. Which I refer to (much to his annoyance) as “Jason Bourne the directions” 020
Elizabeth McConnell @elizmcc.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Or they do work, but take so long that you press it, and wait, but eventually cross against the light because you can see your bus coming, and it is 3 minutes early, and you know it won’t wait, and if you miss it, it’s going to be at least 20 minutes before the next one comes. Theoretically. 110

Elizabeth McConnell @elizmcc.bsky.social · 31/03/2026That makes sense & I understand that there could be savings in bulk subsidies etc. (potentially from a higher initial per unit cost). I may have an over-romanticized view of mail, based in Austen-era sense of nostalgia rather than reality. Super interesting! Thank you for making me think! 010

Elizabeth McConnell @elizmcc.bsky.social · 27/02/2026"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons. 000
Elizabeth McConnell @elizmcc.bsky.social · 15/02/2026I was about half way through when I realized it must be fiction (the timelines didn’t make sense otherwise and then the narrative beats clicked into place as fiction). And I assumed that I must have missed the context because everything about who it was presented signalled literary non-fiction. 030
Elizabeth McConnell @elizmcc.bsky.social · 02/01/2026That’s a great rule but honestly it’s too generous for me. I like to request a bunch of a books at the library and then read the first few pages and decide which I want to take out. I find it expands what I read because the stakes are so low I experiment with a range of authors and genres. 000
Elizabeth McConnell @elizmcc.bsky.social · 31/12/2025I picked this up just today and initially wasn’t planning on reading it… until suddenly I was 15 pages in and didn’t want to put it down. The authenticity in the writing is breathtaking. 000
