Jokes aside, this is standard M.O. for the anti-CRT / anti-wokeness / anti-PC crowd: Scream that you support free speech and want to free everyone's minds ... and then define progressive thought as intrinsically oppressive and indoctrinating. Hence, the state must engage in viewpoint-based suppression ... in the name of freedom.

It’s amazing how business want to run on data, but when presented with the successfulness of a 4-day work week, that’s not the data they want

the funny thing about the emerging Gen X tech billionaire midlife crises is that they make the previous crop of tech billionaire midlife crises look positively dignified by comparison

Yup! #Zoom #Meeting

I am not surprised that so many Brits would leave given the chance. Removing freedom of movement and Erasmus has to be two of the worst outcomes of the brexit Tories wanted so badly (at least they kept their offshore investments safe from nasty new EU tax laws). The young people of the UK have had life choices and chances removed, for this I will never forgive the Tory party.

#Random question but does anyone know a good and relatively #foolproof #recipe for lime pickle?

All recommendations welcome.

And yes, I could just buy some, but where's the adventure in that...

Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become aggressive and give you a nasty bite.

Instead approach the day calmly without making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace

If the day shows any signs of resistance to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.

I started saving seeds in my typical imperfect way a few years ago; piecemeal and without a thorough education. I know I’m not doing it right or perfectly, but now I have grown the same heirloom peas that are special to a place and a gardener I love, and saved the seeds for the next year, for three years in a row, and I’m glad I didn’t let the unattainable “perfect” get in the way of something small and good. #gardening #seedsaving #seedstarting

UK is so far behind this level of ambition

Germany will ban gas and oil heating in new or renovated buildings from next year and likely increase subsidies to support their phaseout as Europe’s largest economy steps up efforts to meet climate targets https://trib.al/BZRhseW

I DID A MEND LOOK AT ME GO! This is my first ever mended clothing object that is not a sock. Today a hoodie, tomorrow EVERYTHING. #fiberuary #mending

UK: "We have no food. The economy & social infrastructures are collapsing. "
UK gov: "Only the woke eat salad! British-made cardboard is more nutritious than foreign vegetables! Cardboard for lunch = patriotism; dirty foreign salad = treason, passport cancellation & deportation!"

I realize it's blasphemy to say it around here, but I am still not too comfortable with the idea of a world where only nazis and fascists get to platform each other on one of the larger social media networks on the planet. What happens if Twitter doesn't die, but in fact, gets subsidized by sovereigns and elites who are more than happy to have a one way information channel keeping billons of the little people busy. I worry.

I spoke to Ruchira at @VICE about sensitivity reading and how the #RoaldDahl thing is more nuanced than reports suggest

TIL that one of Germany’s biggest supermarket chains will stop producing printed marketing flyers this year. Their main argument is the climate and the numbers are insane:

Yearly savings:

- 390.000 m3 of wood
- 70.000 tons of CO2
- 380.000.000 kWh of energy

It’s the CO2 equivalent of roughly 60.000 ICE cars and the energy could power 100.000 4-person households for a year 🤯
