Malphas Wats @malphaswats.bsky.social · 25/06/2026B&Q sell "door seals". You're supposed to use them to seal doors when you're generating lots of dust in a room. But they cut nicely to window size, stick well with included roll of double-sided tape and have a handy little zip opening so you can still open and close the window as needed. 041

Food noise is the roar of traffic that drowns out the birdsong so that you can’t hear your body properly. You eat because you mistake every murmur inside you for hunger. 042
