Eye test booked, dont think the lady on the phone looked at my records as she asked if I wanted the retina scan. Pretty sure they will be doing that when I get there.

#Special #Myopic

Edgar Wallace schrieb "Die Toten Augen Von London", in der Realität sind es "Die Blinden Augen Von Gilching". Die Werte an sich sind schon schlecht, die Kombination der Werte macht daraus eine exotische Herausforderung. Sieben Wochen hat es bis zu den neuen Linsen gedauert. Der Frust über die eigne Blindheit sitzt tief. Wenn ich einen Führerschein hätte, müsste ich ihn wahrscheinlich abgeben.

Was I #myopic? Or did I simply want it to be true? As it turns out, my hindsight isn't much better.

The MAGA legions
wear red threads made in China
and preach American exceptionalism
dispensing missives of ethnic nationalism
that have sparked conflicts
throughout history

Wrapped in red white and blue
the America First crew
eschews the world view
for a narrow #myopic
reality
that have fueled wars
throughout history

Peeking out from behind the wall
the protectionism mob
of anti globalist guardians
practice excessive tariff levies
guaranteed to wreck economies

and so it goes...

Events will spiral out of control

Of course
those pulling the strings
from behind the scenes will profit

Strife will be the norm for the rest

Perhaps this time
our ignorance proves fatal

Death being the ultimate destiny
of empires throughout history

Or maybe

This latest episode
of self inflicted agony
will make the best painful lesson
that resonates with us for once

An ignorant child
who burns their hand
on a hot stove
learns to never do it again

At least in theory

“Don’t let Mia know I said scary,” said Tom.
“It’s #myopic to think you can keep secrets from Mia,” said Jin. “I think she’d be reassured.”
“But I’ve got parents.”
“Mia’s got a manual on how not to be one. But she needs support, not people telling her she can’t complain.” #vss365

That #Trump is willing to hand the world over to #Xi — or doesn’t even realize that’s what he’s doing — shows that his #myopic worldview, admiration for autocrats, & self-obsession are combining to threaten international #security &, with it, #America’s future.

As someone who’s been #shortsighted since… 1968 (at least) the best way for a #myopic person to see a #city, is at night, without their glasses on.

It’s like you’re in a #VanGogh painting! Magical.

How would Van Gogh have painted a modern city at night? Maybe like this.

Jeez.

First there was talk of the "Autism Epidemic" now there's apparently a "Myopia Epidemic"

What next? A mathematician epidemic? A cravat wearing epidemic? A Rubik cube epidemic?

I ask about those because I'm both #autistic and #myopic. I just want to ensure I'm not spreading ;)

2030 news flash

"The WHO held emergency talks this morning to find ways to combat the current outbreak and possible pandemic of Pete. To date 3 Million cases of Pete have been reported. We go live to our reporter on the scene Dav... er.. sorry I mean , we now go live to Pete.

Aw not you too!"

Another politician with absolutely no sense of proportion:
'It is absurd to count herself among the victims of the “abuse of power”. I am staggered that she thinks the travails of her prime ministership belong in the same category as the suffering inflicted on the casualties of the Hillsborough disaster, the Grenfell tragedy and the Windrush scandal. That suggestion is not just ridiculous, it is repulsive'

@trent @daedalus Yeah this is why you only share screen for a specific application window.

I read my group chats on the big screen because #myopic, so I would neverrrr share the whole screen.

@karenmc I've felt that way since I was 7.

#myopic

Myopic sight, too poor to see
My child as she cries,
Can focused guide the tweezers true
To where the splinter lies.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Brain cells, I have few
In my myopic head

#MastoPrompt #myopic

Myopic melancholia clouds my view
The world outside a blur of gray and blue
My heart beats slow, my mind in a haze
Lost in a world of melancholy days

My vision is narrow and my thoughts are dark,
I see no light and feel no spark,
The world outside continues on its way
While I remain, lost in myopic dismay
But still I hold on, searching for the light
Hoping to break free from this endless night.

Today's #MastoPrompt #Myopic reminded me of this old #limerick of mine about #Monet:

A man with poor vision, Monet,
Had eyesight so weak, the display
Of the world that he saw
Was blurrily raw.
And that’s why he’s famous today.
