After berating her because he thought she was trans so must therefore be a paedophile, he beat her for 42 minutes then pushed her into a garbage bin. He punched and kicked her when she crawled out. She has had to go to a care home due to the attack, it's unlikely she'll ever live independently again

We need the higher ed media to better describe what's at stake here. These are not "reforms," they're an authoritarian takeover. They're not "bold" or "sweeping," they're undemocratic and fascist. These aren't normal policy recommendations, they're a dismantling of higher education!

It’s weird to see a headline about the murders of three women in their home by a man who seems to have been known to them, and the headline is about outlawing the highly specific weapon used. I don’t think the crossbow is the problem here.

I think all the time about the interviewer who asked Meryl Streep “how did you not know about Weinstein” and she was like “I didn’t know because he NEEDED me not to know” it isn’t a character flaw to have been deceived by someone who is a deceit expert cultivating the cover of your faith & goodwill

So this wasp (an aptly-named yellow-legged mud dauber) is mysteriously lying in the middle of my bedroom floor. How it got here I don’t know. But while I was googling to see if this was what I thought it was, I found out that mud-dauber wasps have been responsible for MULTIPLE PLANE CRASHES.

A friend of mine burnt her hand last week due to a faulty lid on the kettle at work. "My fault, I should have remembered, everyone knows about it," she said. "No, it should be fixed! They could so easily get rid of it, get a safer one! And how are visitors meant to know about it? It's dangerous."

I think they're just planning to fix my septum. I'm not sure drilling out my sinuses would work—I think they're mainly just the wrong shape! Fairly sure they're meant to be somewhat symmetrical... Cw: MRI, anatomy

Oh interesting! I've only recently realised that my septum is very messed up (due to an inherited bone spur), along with my sinuses, and I'm on a waiting list for surgery to sort it. Hopefully that'll help! I don't get it half as much as I used to, but it really does linger.

I don't take it with my ADHD medication, though, because it's chemically a bit too similar and my blood pressure is high enough already. 😬

My favourite pharmaceutical product continues to be Sudafed Pressure & Pain. Woke up feeling like I'd been punched in the face, now my sinuses are mostly clear and I can breathe almost properly. 🙌🏻 It's also woken me up. (Also, sinusitis sucks.)

Audio is tricky because I cannot listen and do much at all. I pretty much only get through podcasts and audiobooks while driving (which doesn't require huge quantities of active thought these days, except that I can't listen to stuff while parking 😅 )

I actually can watch television! I'm much more likely to stick with it if it's good, though. Subtitled foreign-language stuff also holds my attention fairly readily, perhaps because I'm then both reading and watching?

Suddenly recalling the time a therapist asked me if I ever just sat and chilled out, and her very big frown when I half-jokingly replied, "Sometimes I like to gently disassociate on the train into work for 15 minutes, as a treat".

I will probably accidentally have a little sit down for 45+ minutes and consequently not end up doing the website, tbh. Does that count? I did spend 20 minutes on the train doing a little drawing also.

Do I know anyone who can do a cover design? I've got the ebook front cover and I need a wraparound for a KDP edition. It shouldn't need saying, but obviously I will fairly pay for this work. The only catch is I'd need it before Worldcon, so ideally within 2-3 weeks, faster if at all possible?
