Last week’s story about a moth infestation in a £32.5m Notting Hill house made me think of an old Barry Cryer joke, says Patrick Kidd in The Times. A husband arrives home early to find his wife in bed and a naked man in the bathroom clapping his hands. “I’m from the council, your wife reported moths,” explains the man in the bathroom. “You’re naked!” says the husband, whereupon the lover stops clapping, looks down in surprise and says: “The bastards...”

It's time to talk about blogs!

Specifically, it's time for me to ask for recommendations for blogs.

Several of my favorite blogs have gone offline in the last two years, and a few of the ones that left have enshitified to the point that they're not longer enjoyable to read.

it's been a while since I've done anything like this, but I'm going to do it differently this time.

So, this is my request (and then later my plan)

Tell me about blogs that you love! Give me a brief rundown of the kinds of things they share. I'm down for news, tech, art, culture, music, whatever. I'm also down for frequent or infrequent publishers.

Purge the demon spirits that haunt your buildings with HEPA filters.
Run air purifiers to help clear your mind during meditative breathing exercises.
Improve the efficacy of your sage and essential oils burning with better ventilation.

For the record (because of "Hackerparagraph" in German law): it doesn't even need reverse engineering of the app for obtaining the password, it's literally on the internet in manuals, e.g. web.archive.org/web/2024062614

Service toot for folks using the e-motion add-on drive manufactured by Alber for their wheelchair: the so-called "dealer mode" (German: "Händlermodus" resp. "Profimodus") with some advanced configuration settings in the app from the manufacturer can be unlocked with the password: $AlBr-MtN25!

Boosting appreciated.

I have had my laptop removed from my person through great indignity.

Apparently i should try to eat something.

I feel like, instead of signaling that you're a safe person or whatever, you could just give money to a trans person. Don't worry about how you're perceived, just provide actual useful support in the way of cash. Trans people can't pay the bills with your safety pins, they can't buy hormones with your good intentions, they can't afford to move to safety with your blue bracelets. Just, find a person struggling and give them money.

Terrified people getting constantly re-terrified can’t think clearly. We all need to be thinking as clearly as we can. This was true in 2016 and during the early-pandemic info vacuum and it’s true now.

I really try to hang out in more nuanced modes of rhetoric but: Don’t amplify psychological terrorism by repeating it in social media posts condemning it. Stop.

When you do this, no matter your intent, you are helping the worst people by repeatedly exposing the intended targets to the terrorizing messages.

Yes, hate campaigns need to be discussed. Not by amplifying the messages themselves across networks rich in their targets.

Off to hear a talk on art, surrealism and women artists and writers later today.

Didn't realise that Sotheby's does free art talks and then you can see the art they're talking about.

sothebys.com/en/digital-catalo

This seems to be some kind of tax thing, that others of art can avoid some of the tax if the art is available for the public to see, but they gate it behind these talks. Well I want to see the art, and the talk will touch upon Virginia Woolf as well as the artists at Charleston House like Vanessa Bell.

What is seldom mentioned is that the house was a bisexual polycule.

Is there a website that shows annual rainfall, cloud coverage (important), sunshine, wind, etc for specific locations in the UK... Down to a city level?

Trying to work out where I should move to in the future to set up a little observatory.

Feels like I should start scraping every forecast and then build the data myself, but that seems daft.

Hey fab fedi folks :FediverseSymbol:

If you're in England, you can sign up and vote for changes you want to see in the NHS on their "Your ideas for change" page on the Change.NHS website.

For example, there's a petition to formally ask for the NHS to move to an informed consent model for adult trans healthcare :TransHeart:

It would very be lovely if lots of folks in England signed up and upvoted this, and shared with as many others as they can :PleadingFaceWithRedHearts: 👉👈

Boosts very welcome and appreciated :BoostsOKPrideSymbol:

Edit: Corrected UK to England. Apologies, as we thought it was UK wide, but it seems to be part of the "10 Year Health Plan for England".

You do not have to scroll social media.

You do not have to watch rolling news.

Keeping up with news is not the same as mainlining it and wallowing in it.

You can see the stats and results later. Watching constantly won’t affect the outcome.

If you’re struggling Please take a break and do something nice for yourself.
