At this point in our Old Lady Books Club, we are all reading or soon to start reading. It’s a very loose sort of club. Drop any chatter re Rosamunde, the book, grandmother ‘nicknames’ like Dondie, fiction snobbery, having 100s & 100s of boyfriends etc. at meetmeatmikes.com/old-lady-boo... #PipsOLBC

I’m running a book club, pals. We’re reading one book every two months in 2025. It’s called the Old Lady Books Club because all the books will feature older ladies. Those are the rules. Yep. You can find out more on my blog (meetmeatmikes.com) if this sounds like a you thing. #PipsOLBC

Just me over here. Picking flowers in the rain. Snipping stems on the dining room table. Tidying up stray leaves and raindrops. Returning kidnapped ladybugs to the garden again. Slowing things down. 🐞🍃✂️🌻

Dinner was … a grainy Matthew McConaughey-inspired tuna salad sandwich with potato salad and roasted zucchini/tomato on the side. So pleasing. Picky dinners are the vibe at the moment!

I’m honestly finding the trend of social media broadcast medical trauma -> personal brand development -> ongoing content strategy to be such a cynical and awful phenomenon. And the performance of empathy in response has become a competition sport. Just horrendous and dystopian the lot of it.

So much silverbeet/Swiss chard in the garden. The lady at the greengrocer told me she cuts hers back often and treats it like a perennial, eating from the same plants year ‘round, so I’m going to see if mine works like that.

In Friday’s Nature Briefing, we note that some scientists are rebuilding community in a little place called Bluesky… 🦋 eepurl.com/i4LHFQ
‘A place of joy’: scientists decamp to Bluesky
A wave of academics and researchers have defected from the social media platform Twitter/X, with many heading to upstart Twitter-lookalike Bluesky. Part of the attraction is the ease of gathering worthy connections through moderated lists such as the Science feed and ‘starter packs’ of scientists to follow. “I’d really like it to continue to be a place of joy for me,” says bioacoustics researcher Daryll Carlson. Others say that, despite a rise in pornography, spam, bots and abusive content on Twitter, the platform remains a valuable tool for science communication. “If good experts quit X, who will offer evidence-based input on X?” asks tuberculosis researcher Madhukar Pai.

whenever a man says “childless women contribute nothing to society,” the ghost of the famously unmarried Jane Austen rises and says, “you are such a disagreeable man that it would be quite a misfortune to be liked by you.”

Elon Musk just called the COVID-19 pandemic that killed at least 1.4 million Americans a “scamdemic.” My dad died during the pandemic; we weren't able to visit him in the hospital because of it. Every aspect of that horrible tragedy was real. And exacerbated by Musk’s co-POTUS. I’m seeing red. 😡

I still need to plant the last of my narcissus bulbs. Let's go back to 1614 and see some of the most coveted European varieties of the day. My eye goes to the little white narcissus moschatus, which unusually likes damp conditions, and which I have not yet grown.

Tonight’s din was a variation on last night’s. Leftover roasted veg (mushrooms, peppers, asparagus & tomatoes) plus some sliced ham and a few wodges of Camembert. Toast on the side & a slosh of lemony Dijon/kewpie dressing on the main event. Hit the spot!
