She fought apartheid, defended Nelson Mandela, and helped change how the world prosecutes sexual violence. Today, at 85, Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. What an extraordinary woman. 💜 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

I worked on the wheel only once. Hand building is so much more creative, i.m.o.

Uhm. It sounds like that, but that's not what they are doing.

I love functional presents. My husband gave me a wok once (he cooks for us). I gave him a french press in return (he doesn't drink coffee). We both really think it is funny.

Spring rain in the south. Irises flowering for the first time. 🌱 #gardenshour

Came here to say this. If you have yarn to spare, knit nice sweaters and donate them to whoever need them. Also, the bright colours hurt my eyes.

Career change - from professional architect to architecture lecturer. It is so much more fun and also more challenging. It woke up my brain. Also joined gardening club and pottery studio.

My husband shops for us from a list he makes. He asks me before he goes if I want to add anything else. I hardly ever do, because he is so attuned to my needs, he just brings it all home.

When I found out how babies were made, probably same age, I knew it was something I would never want to do. So I decided that I would just one day tell my husband that I am infertile, then he would surely leave me alone.

I think Lego is the only sustainable plastic toys - they foster creativity and can be reused infinitely. They bring generations together. Pity about the silly sets they make these days. #LEGO

FLOCK cameras need to be stopped
Jennifer Peery

not the worst idea.

Perhaps the most legal way of dealing with Flock Cameras

1 Get bird seed.
2 Spread a lot of bird seed around the Flock camera pole.
3 Wait for birds.
4 Birds crap all over the Flock camera and its solar panel.

A four-panel instructional diagram showing a stick figure spreading bird seed around a solar-powered Flock security camera pole to attract birds, resulting in the camera and solar panel covered in bird droppings.

As a lecturer, I am so used to hearing, these third years have no clue how to design (x). My stock answer is, you are a lecturer, why don't you teach them?

Why I hate, and avoid watching videos. I would rather just read an article about the topic. That way I can scan through to see if it is relevant and choose to dive deeper or move on.

I agree. I sometimes start taking out my frustrations on Claude and then I don't like who I become. Then I revert back to asking them please, saying that is a great answer, etc. I need to constantly hone my character in private so I will be a nice person in public. I don't want to practice rudeness.
