I have reached the am knackered and need to be alone part of the convention. Which is a shame because I did want to see the final panel. But if I rest now I might manage some bar later.

Near earth space which we continue to treat as empty is no longer actually so.
In a more general sense, all areas called empty should be examined with suspicion.

A concept of Scottishness I like.
I am slowly becoming more comfortable including myself in the we of Scottishness.

Mention by Ricardo Pinto of Scotland as a 'wet desert' but he didn't mention my enemy the deer.
Our supposed beautiful natural landscape is a product of human action.

Nice to get a rare 'brother of the more famous sister' for JBS Haldane.
His sister, Naomi Mitchison, wrote fiction and I guess it lasts more easily than non fiction.

It's interesting how many people heard Grace describe someone breaking into the bathroom while she was in the shower and respond 'ok, that's not great but she's still a feminist scold.' #mafsuk
Humans will do almost anything to avoid admitting they misjudged someone.

Whereas people who are used to feeling out of place and trying to advocate for themselves constantly doubt.

I try not to talk too much about the terrible reality tv programme I watch but this has me boggled.
Apparently #mafsuk Stephen is saying he can't have been on a particular dating app because he was banned in 2023.
You do see how that's worse, right?

I finished 11 books in October. 4 from the library, 1 an ARC from netgalley, 1 from book group, 1 nonfiction, 8 books by women, 3 by men, 2 in translation.
I will not have read all Booker long listed books by the 10th but I have made a fair stab at them.
