I live each day to the fullest unless I'm a bit tired or it's raining outside. I'm a writer, a keen reader, a runner, and easily distracted. I'm on BlueSky to find a great writing community, make new friends and have fun.

When morons collide! I’m laughing so much at this. I hate Farage, but Musk is so much worse because he has actual power. I hope he uses his wealth and influence for something good one day. Meanwhile, the idiot needs to butt out of British politics.

Today’s poem is considered to be the world’s oldest surviving love poem, written 1.5 million years ago by one of our earliest ancestors, homo unrequitus. It’s called ‘The Caveman’s Lament’.

I’m rewatching Buffy The Vampire Slayer, which I love. It can still surprise me, though I’ve seen in 4 or 5 times. This quote kills me:
You're like Tony Robbins. If he was a big, scary, Frankenstein-looking... You're *exactly* like Tony Robbins." - Spike [Buffy 4, 20 "The Yoko Factor"]

Lose your fear of spiders by…eating spiders
Spiders contain concentrated amounts of the fear-busting chemical taurine. More than 40-100 times more than caterpillars. Ingesting it inhibits anxiety responses, making you bolder. It’s ironic but it’s true.

I’m heading north to Doncaster, in Yorkshire where I was born. I just read an article entitled, “Five Reasons You Should Move to Doncaster.” Two of the reasons were:
* Excellent transport links
* Close to some of the North’s most exciting cities.
Which says it all…

This isn't far from the truth, except now we have a king and a queen, and the new queen is way less popular.

I have many ways to avoid writing.
Today, I spent a couple of hours dreaming up plots for future sequels to the novel I'm supposed to be working on instead of focusing on finishing the first.
Bah!

My first day on BlueSky should be marked with a post, so here goes.
I deactivated my X, Twitter, or (my favourite) Xitter today, but I should have done it ages ago. Elon Musk once said he wanted to "die on Mars." I wish he'd get on with it.
I'm looking forward to connecting.
