I find Ken Burns documentaries oddly comforting. (But it remains that if you DM me to sell me your shit, it’s Block Town for you).

@kristadb1.bsky.social wrote a great post about remembering to live amidst all this. I can’t reply, but here’s what I did (and enjoyed) on the weekend for that very reason:

How did I entirely miss the capybara craze that (I just found out) apparently took the world by storm last year? I’m old now, aren’t I? #Capybara

When I was a kid (70s-80s), one of the supposed signs of gifted kids was that they memorised the work quickly, then got bored. Past educators - that wasn’t giftedness, that was ADHD. We didn’t need to be segregated, we needed meds! #ADHD #GiftedKids #Education #AlsoAutistic #Audhd

America, there's something you should know. The top three kinds of books that young people (under 25) offer to sell me on Dec. 26 are: - "Chicken Soup for the _____" - "Oh, the Places You'll Go" - Books of New Yorker cartoons I'm just saying. Keep it in mind for graduations and birthdays, too.

Imagine thinking you can appear at a TP event and your fans will just accept whatever you tell them on Insta. You don’t realise that by standing alongside her, it looks like you approve and agree with her. That’s why we’re dropping you now. #ErikaKirk #NickiMinaj #TurningPoint

I had the best interview question ever a couple of weeks ago: “What does hard work mean to you?” And I’m pretty sure the answer they wanted was something like: work smarter, prioritise, and leave on time as often as you can. I wish I’d said something as articulate as that, but of course I didn’t 🫠

I’ve been in a period of depression for a couple of months. I’m feeling a lot better now, but looking back on it, depression made me look and feel 10 years older. It wasn’t all doom & gloom, but even my best moments were weighed down with some level of anxiety. #anxiety #depression #adhd #audhd

My parents gave us $400 to buy a used record player. We want the best 70s/80s home hifi unit we can get for that price. But I have no idea what to look for. Help a #GenX sister out please. I don’t need Abbey Road quality, I just want to play LPs loudly enough to fill the house! #HiFis #70s #Music

what sort of dodgy stuff was Peter McCallister into in Home Alone? When the fake cop comes to his door he doesn’t ask “what’s wrong” or “is everything ok,” he goes straight to “Am I under arrest or something?” Is it just me or does that sound like a guilty man? #HomeAlone #ChristmasMovie #Dodgy

Ahmed Al-Ahmed is, quite rightly, being praised by all of us. But there were thousands of small, quiet acts of bravery on Sunday. Every victim and every witness became one that night. All their divisions melted away as they helped one another. Please remember them too.

We relinquished custody of our precious dog Brooklyn 4 years ago. Every time my husband’s ex has an obligation she doesn’t want to meet, she makes up some illness or other and tells us our dog is being put down the next day. How sick do you have to be to do that to someone? #CrazyEx #Dogs

My husband’s beautiful cousin passed away yesterday from cancer. I’m so angry and sad. She hadn’t even lived half her life yet. Now her little boy will grow up without her, her partner has to navigate life without her, and her dad has lost his light. It’s so fucking unfair!!! #fuckcancer

Am I the only person who finds Ken Burns documentaries incredibly comforting? The way he manages to bring people to life from a photograph or a letter gives me hope that empathy is not dead. The exhaustive detail in every episode gives me hope that learning and truth aren’t dead.

There’s a show on SBS called The American Revolution. It’s a much more balanced look at the people and events of the time. America has a murderous, racist past it’s not ready to come to terms with. Not just the South, but all of it. No wonder they’re in such a mess.

A dark cloud that has been hanging over our heads for 5 years is about to be lifted. The outcome isn’t fair, but it’s acceptable enough. We have had to make major concessions, but we can now bring this painful, drawn-out saga to a close. I’d forgotten what it was like to feel this much relief!

Does anyone remember the Toronto Blessing? It was a Pentecostal movement in the early 90s - on every continent. I was there, and even then I thought I’d been abducted by aliens. Anyway, if you’re curious about it, drop a question below and I’ll answer if I can. #Pentecostal #TorontoBlessing

Very few narratives piss me off as much as the whole "let's give marginalised people LLM assistants for inclusion". 

Inclusion does not mean giving marginalised people shittier versions of a thing: Sure you can give kids from poorer backgrounds an LLM to "learn" but what you are saying is that poor people are not worth having trustworthy sources of information. When you say that older or lonely people can talk to chatbots to feel less alone you are saying that some people are not worth a social life. 

This is a deeply inhumane perspective that goes actively against the ideas and ideals of inclusion.

In my son’s first full-time job, he did manual work with a top-notch crew. They were paid really well. They were really good *because* they were paid well. The company gave them a reason to care. The loyalty of those workers prevented almost all mistakes and delays. Why don’t bosses know this?

Why were we so entranced by beautiful metrosexual men in the 80s? Is it because we craved kindness, empathy and vulnerability - traits more often associated with femininity- in our relationships with men and boys?
