I just love this. I don't know if you meant it to evoke mist-bordering-on-fog, but that's what it does for me. A warm spot on a chilly night.

I LOVE how much the worst swears in a language tell you about the values of that society. Are their shockingest words about bodies? Religion? Family? Behaviours? Do they vary amongst sub-communities? I also love how, irrespective of meaning, the worst swears in any language feel GREAT to say.

My best advice is to recognise these feelings as a symptom of your values - an unpleasant side-effect of a genuinely noble thing. Give yourself permission to wallow for a bit, and relentlessly revisit the moments you're proudest of. Sending solidarity, and hugs if they're something that helps you.

You're unlikely to find many things that require greater effort or are of more personal value to you than defending your precious doctorate. Layer uncertainty of direction on top and it's an evil cocktail. I wish we prepared people better for this...

Hey Danny. Sometime academic and longtime performing artist here. A viva is very much an intersection of the two, and post-show crash is very much a thing. In my experience, the intensity and duration of the crash is a function of both the effort invested and the importance you place on the show...

I think I mentioned it before on Another Platform, but I remain convinced that viva voce translates as talk for your life. Good luck and maybe this is weird, but... have fun!

I can't help feeling that it would have been an even *more* useful diet app if it just used measurements... which were invented specifically because of the wild inconsistency of hand / body sizes.

Okay, but this is wildly infuriating: "as tall as an NBA centre", "half the length of a pool cue" - just state the size of the things! I'll even cope if it's expressed in feet or inches, the NYT being American and all. These comparisons are daft for such easily comprehensible length measurements.

You're right on all counts. But now, much more strategic bad players have seen how easy he is to manipulate, and they've had years to prepare.

Let me introduce you to Tiddalik. He's a massive Goliath frog of indigenous Australian dreaming stories (creation mythologies). Caused a drought across the whole land by being thirsty and greedy. Caused a flood and formed river systems when they finally got him to laugh. General menace.
