I am hoping the same with the government in my country (New Zealand). I work in the healthcare field, and it's enraging how many good (life-saving) projects are being quietly throttled.

Hi Cliff! I've been following you since your blog days, so glad you're still about! My favourite memory is of your Cosmocking series, and my English-as-a-second-language partner of the time leaning over my shoulder and asking "What's cocksmoking?"

Thank you for justifying my 500 books. Another advantage is that they exist in a format that is unlikely to become inaccessible due to technological changes. If the publisher goes belly up, I will never have to search for a new program to be able to open them.

My ex had English as a second language, and sometimes used technically-correct words in odd ways. Though we have long parted ways, in my household kitchen tongs will always be "THE CLAMPS!!!" (yelled as in that one robot from Futurama)

I hear you so hard! I'm under 5 feet and it was only when I started making my own clothes that I realised a lot of my discomfort in (especially femimine) clothing wasn't my own awkwardness but the fact none of it fitted right! You can't just shorten hems, the whole thing is still off!

How did you know 😂

Does anyone know of any references for skinny or fat men? I've been struggling to find any.
