A quotation from Judith Martin

Since the invention of the mirror, everyone knows what he or she looks like and does not find it helpful or enjoyable to have oddities or deficiencies — according to someone else’s standards and tastes — pointed out. And every adult assumes the right of making his or her own decisions about eating, drinking, mating and reproducing, and finds being monitored and instructed — again according to someone else’s preferences — distasteful.

Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
“Miss Manners,” syndicated column (1986-01-19)

Si effectuer un effort mental ne serait pas la plus agréable des expériences, ne rien faire pourrait être encore pire.

The feeling is rather unpleasant

Former #Greens leaders have urged the party to stand firm against #Labor “#arrogance” in the new parliament, particularly on #climate & #environmental issues.

#BobBrown has urged the party to “never again” #preference Labor over the #Liberals & instead run an open ticket, as he and fellow former leader #ChristineMilne said the Greens should push back strongly against “lies” about the party. #auspol

Day 32 cont 🗳️

Take care #voting, make your #Preferences count. ⚠️

“Preferences have become more important than ever in Australian elections, as the share of people supporting the major parties has dropped from more than 90% of primary votes in the 1950s to just 68.8% in the most recent federal poll.

The last Australian election saw 16 seats won by candidates who were not leading after the first count – the most ever, tied with 2016. And more than half of those winners were independent candidates – also the most ever.

Australia’s electoral system requires #voters to #number #candidates in their order of preference: their first choice, second choice and so on. During #counting, if no candidate has yet achieved a #majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their votes are redistributed to voters’ next #preference. This is repeated until there is a clear winner.”

Living as a ginger-blond in the gay world? It’s polarizing. I’ve been trophy gay and don’t-even-go-there gay, often on the same night. Preferences are wild. But hey, that’s life.

Dear artists and photographers,
your works are often incredibly inspiring to me! Thank you!

...but to people who put digital watermarks on inspiring works, I try like the dickens to never boost watermarked stuff. It is very unfortunate! And the world shed a tear for the misrepresentation of your otherwise immaculate, yet intentionally marred expressions...

Apple Notes on iPad, writing with the pen, when it takes your handwriting and then re-inserts it every so slightly, but unnecessarily different. Definitely auto, but not refined. It can be switched off! In the tools palette, the … menu, look for the "Auto-refine Handwriting" switch. #iOS #handwriting #preference
