  • Love Hurts

    Love Hurts

    Something I’ve been stressing over for about a fortnight is now done. The relief, especially in my shoulders, is palpable.ย I’m also beyond tired all of a sudden and yesterday’s lifts/squats are manifesting in hips and knees. It’s amazing how these things become physical issues when enough time elapses. Stress kills, kids, don’t let anybody convince…

    Games Without Frontiers

    The first six words of this tweet are unnecessary, almost certainly intended clickbait, and divert from the rest of the message sent from the article. You should know better by now. — ๐ŸŒŠ Sarah ๐Ÿ“ Shonky Hankering ๐ŸŒŠ (@AlternativeChat) November 11, 2018 I’m getting tired of this. It happens everywhere. People are lazy, and especially…

    I wonder if people look at their tweets over time and realise that the only way you grow as a person is to stop constantly making the same mistakes over and over again? I know I do. — ๐ŸŒŠ Sarah ๐Ÿ“ Shonky Hankering ๐ŸŒŠ (@AlternativeChat) October 29, 2018 One of the great advantages of sticking…

    We are the World

    I get blocked a lot because people don't like hearing my stuff in their feeds via dissemination. It's rapidly becoming a great way of knowing who isn't listening to anybody except their own select group. Your experiences on Twitter will vary. https://t.co/tbyNckFxGc — ๐ŸŒŠ Sarah ๐Ÿ“ Shonky Hankering ๐ŸŒŠ (@AlternativeChat) October 24, 2018 The more…

    Occupy Your Mind

    Scary as fuck weather report. First it's like, ah smart use of green screen, then it's like holy fucking shit. pic.twitter.com/J9SmZqTqVI — Nooruddean (@BeardedGenius) September 13, 2018 Knowledge is power. We all know this, in many cases based on a simple understanding: the more informed a choice, the greater the freedom attached. If you want…

    Games People Play

    Occasionally, there are days (like yesterday) when you have to accept loss. Like it or not, everybody screws up. Sitting crying in the Gym car park helps nobody: sure, it makes you feel better, but a logical mind can grasp that if you’re the one at least in part who started the fight, then you…

  • The Best Thing

    The Best Thing

    ‘There will come a moment,’ my PT told me, quite early on in training, ‘when your body will start telling you things. Maybe it will be a pain that’s not normal, or a reaction to an exercise that you don’t like. When this happens, you need to learn to listen, and act appropriately.’ Yesterday afternoon…

  • Question

    Question

    This popped up yesterday and has subsequently created something of a moral dilemma. The Original Poster (OP) is a game developer (according to their bio) and I don’t follow them, but this got Tweeted into my feed and therefore attracted attention. pic.twitter.com/cDIxRT901v — ๐Ÿฃ (@d3rgs) September 18, 2017 Now, I know immediately what these people…

  • Consider Her Ways

    Consider Her Ways

    Normally my blog posts are named after songs. Today, I’m taking a book, one that was particularly significant in my youth. I remember being astounded by the main story in John Wyndham’s anthology and it having a profound effect for weeks after reading: I can’t really tell you anything about it either, because by doing…

    It's not that people are necessarily any more reprehensible than before. It's just that it's all online now and so are we. — Just Faith (@faithinthehouse) March 5, 2017 It is important, as we mentioned last week, to be able to step back and be objective when living in any space whose rules are defined…
