Two episodes of Stargate: Atlantis later (S2,ep2+3) and I have bags 1-3 complete. Bag 4's instructions are as thick as 1-3 so I was a little daunted. I did make mini Rocky and Grace though! #projectHailMary #lego

I promised myself I was going to be more active on social media. it's been hard work because my brain hates the idea of sharing what I'm up to. I'm constantly fighting the thought of "Why would anyone want to know this?" So if that's also you, I don't have a solution, but like same?

“Broadly speaking, the human brain is a collection of software hacks compiled into a single, somehow-functional unit. Each “feature” was added as a random mutation that solved some specific problem to increase our odds of survival. In short, the human brain is a mess.” Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary

Carl Jung once said, You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do. This one is a personal call out for me. I'm great with the ideas and the plans. I love the excitement of thinking about something. Then comes the actual doing and I quickly lose interest.

Reminder: perhaps the easiest & cheapest way to tell Bezos to fuck off is by linking to Bookshop or (even better) an indie bookstore WHENEVER you talk about a book online. W/o a link people will just google it & that will lead to Amazon. W a link you can send a sale to a good business

With the Steam deck going up in price and the Steam Machine being as expensive as it is… it’s a good time to remember that you probably have a 3ds you can mod. Or you can buy a cheap handheld for like 50-70 bucks that can play up to Dreamcast games. You do not need the new thing.

Have you any dice nearby? A quick check-in for you. Roll the die, and whichever number it lands on, notice that number of different colours surrounding you. A quick version is a D4. However, if you feel like a challenge, roll a D100. (online dice rollers also count) #mentalhealth

One green with an eye.

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

Many people assume counselling & psychotherapy is only for when things feel overwhelming, but it can also be a space for personal development and reflection. Search here: www.search-ncps.com/search #Counselling #Psychotherapy #MentalWellbeing #Therapy #NCPS

In the last 10 years, the UK has had 6 Prime Ministers. We're now about to see our 7th. I may be insufferable over the next few weeks although normal mental health/TTRPG noises will still be made.

Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.

The country needs a bold change of direction.
Zack Polanski quote graphic. It reads

"The country needs a bold change of direction. Starmer lost the confidence of the country because of his abject failure to challenge the power and wealth of an establishment which has taken for themselves while leaving the vast majority in a cost of living crisis and facing the worst impacts of the climate and nature crisis."
