You think you’ve moved through things and maybe the tunnel is about to open up into a clearing from which you can finally gaze up see some sky. But 💥 bam out of nowhere land mines of grief you haven’t cleared get triggered and the tunnel walls cave around you and you’ve got to dig through some shit all over again.

@mplouffe thanks so much for the suggestion. I tried that out today and had a talk with a stuffed animal and found it really did help get me to articulate thoughts and feelings long enough to sit with them. I will try it again as needed. Thank you!

@motomatters thank you!!

@mplouffe Sitting and reflecting on (or in) grief is challenging, but it seems everyone says running from it will make it worse. I’m so stubborn and resist it I think. Thank you for sharing.

@MaiaGeorgeCoach thank you so much for sharing. I confess I am very bad at self compassion and need to really work harder to learn how to practice it.

@motomatters thank you for sharing. but what about the days when you don’t think you have the strength to keep hanging on of that darn bike seems to be doing everything to throw you off?

I’m feeling pretty broken today. How do people deal with strong intense feelings of grief? Practice has not made perfect. I’m still very bad at it.

The FIM MotoGP™ Stewards have confirmed that the system will now be enforced for both the #TissotSprint and the #MotoGP Grand Prix race, starting from the Monster Energy British Grand Prix

Random thoughts on my walk this morning:

It is not kind to move a husky to an equatorial city. Poor dog.

I am conflicted about #Ashes ending soon—but it would be nice to be productive and sleep at regular hours more regularly again.

Why is the minority of those who don’t enjoy #ChristopherNolan movies so small?? Are there more of you hiding out there? And is professional philosophy why I find most of his movies so tiresome? Or was that supposed to actually make me like them more?

@meer_salt is #BeesOfMastodon a thing? :)

recently enjoyed watching this bee and managed to get a fuzzy photo of her pollen basket after she filled it.

Well no. It’s not surprising Australia bowled five when they also dropped five. #Ashes

Get in there Lewis!!

I’m crying~tractors don’t take poles, goats put them there.

Tough weekend for spectating!

1) Need to watch all #MotoGP sessions and what I hope will be a resurgent #MM93 reclaiming his dominance at the Sachsenring. Also hope for further #EB23 retun to fitness. We need him to start holding on to his seat bc Bez might have been looking at it out of the corner of his eye.
2) Need to watch or listen to first test of #Ashes23. Smudge and Marnus takes on Bazball.
3) #Moto2 and #Moto3 races
4) track #CanadianGP and how #LH44 is doing

@Are0h oh no. To call it trolling would be too kind. @jorijn this is awful.

One year ago, for a uni required course, the teaching team had to double mark the work of 1200 students. I personally marked 734 essays.

This year, we are marking just our own tutorial students, not double marked, but returned with comments. I'm responsible for just 100 papers.

I long for the "good ole days". These 100 papers are taking me 4 times as long as it took me to do 734 because i have to write comments 😭😭. #AcademicLife #WhatIsWorkLifeBalance

I’m procrastinating my end of semester paper marking right now. Could you tell??

Dedrag—

Milk also not digging the congeniality of Ben.

OMG Morgan straight out the gate: gonna send home the biggest competition.

Trix: in a room full of fan favorites

Morgan: with the exception of me

Trix: that’s true

(Ben: shocked laughter)

Morgan: but it is!

Trix: no, like the T, yeah

Shangela thinks it’s a great strategy but Morgan shouldn’t have said it out loud while Morgan was saying they only way to execute that strategy is to say it clearly from the jump.

Thorgy—yikes that first read was more a self-own. the setups are too long for the payoff.

Chichi—I’m laughing but are they reads?

Kennedy—“little girl” didn’t land for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Milk—meh

Morgan—almost

Shangela—haha I love a meta read even more!! She did well!

Trixie—2% had me giggling

Aja—Lisa frank serial killer (but I thought Aja’s own jacket had that vibe!)

Ben—her character works for her delivery. It helped a lot I think.

Bebe—read them!! take shelter in that shade.

Reading is fundamental 🤓
