I wonder whether when she played Sabalenka, Anisimova wasn’t expecting to win so played freely. However, winning the title was within reach this time around so nerves got the better of her. Feel awful for Anisimova. 😢

Really sad to see. I think sport is just as much a mind game as a physical one.

Absolutely brilliantly written. Love the way Marina’s skilfully weaved in the other topical controversy without explicitly saying it, but leaving the reader in no doubt what she’s referring to. 😅

Definitely what I’m really concerned about too.

You qualify to go on The Hidden 20% podcast now. It’s an amazing listen. 🙂 www.hidden20.org

Thanks for this. Much needed after reading a few posts on my timeline. Think I’ll stop now my mood’s lightened up. 🙂

Absolutely stunning!

What was the name? Aria or something? I’ve blocked a few new followers recently with similar names like Ariia etc. as assumed they were bots.

Geekfest? Or should it be Nerdfest? To be fair, I’m trying to learn R. 😬

Thanks again! I couldn’t recall how I set up Feeds in the first place. I have quite a few interests so I will do. 😊

I do like a bit of mythology! You don’t need to worry though, @quietriotpod.bsky.social has become my default politics podcast. 😊

It’s those I’m following I will look at to mix it up a bit. Don’t want to continue being bombarded by the same negative news posted by numerous different accounts.

Thanks for reassurance it’s not only me too! Starter packs were invaluable re who to follow at first. Now rather overwhelming with the negativity of generally the same news posted by so many of those I’m following.

Completely agree with you there. 🙂

Thanks for the suggestion!
