Exactly so.

Something happened recently that made me think of it. I've been reflecting on how every instance of harassment or assault is different in terms of context, and there's no one-rule to successfully intervening. It's useful to have a number of different tools to deal with different situations 2/2

Another one here for never having seen The God Father. Also: Saving Private Ryan
Titanic
Never purposely watched the Eurovision song contest (although I have caught bits now and then).

I once slogged my way through a Tom Wolfe...

Umberto Eco? One of the Amisses? Dying to know then I don't bother.

This was taken down the eyepiece with a mobile phone! If I had a proper camera it would be even better.

I love Brunel. I bought my secondhand microscope from them. It's been really good.
I have both things to hand at home. The glycerine jelly probably came from Brunel as well!

🤯😯 Wow! That's amazing. I wish I'd done something like that. Who's/what prep method did you use? I've been toying with the idea of making up my own reference slides for ages... Maybe 2026 will be the year!

Footnote: I did actually hang around in the changing room for a bit to see if I could talk to her, because: yikes. They must have gone straight home tho cause I never saw them again.

I stopped going and bought a vertical climber off eBay. The final straw was a man standing over his wife as she stepped on a weighing scale and he demanded 'how much?'. Seriously tested my commitment to non-violence. My hand actually twitched towards a nearby dumbbell.
