All I've done these holidays is eat chocolate, clock in 2 hours of The Pitt each day, read Wheel of Time (nearly finished book 13), & exercise.
Feeling amazing, as one would expect with this kind of routine.
What's work again?

Normalise accepting and including disability in all its forms throughout society. Disability is essentially the expression of the spectrum of difference throughout humanity. Diversity, equity and inclusion is the only way forward that doesn’t end in mass murder

A man on the average earnings is ‘stuffed’ to quote @grogsgamut.bsky.social — This means a single woman on average earnings is ‘fucked’, basically.
House prices are rising faster than people can save.
If you earn the average male full time income (more than 80% of people) and started saving 10 years ago, you'd be no closer to buying a house today.
It's past time to fix this. @grogsgamut.bsky.social explains. #auspol

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.
