Separately, for the sake of my records

[kaberett]

Much more readily upset than usual. Things that have bothered me so far today include Duolingo telling me that Großpapa isn't an acceptable translation of "grandpa" (combined with yesterday's "Erdäpfel" not being an acceptable translation of "potatoes"); tumblr bullshit about "protect neurodivergent kids with disorders other than just depression and anxiety" (which isn't even an I am uncomfortable when we are not about me thing because it explicitly flagged up autism and personality disorders); smugly facile theology by someone I don't even care about; anything at all my brain can twist into "I'm not actually important to anyone".

*gives your brain a long, expressionless look*

You are important to me.

Your voice is in the earth, and you count time in millions of years and still send people emails and comments, and you keep a to-do list that has items like preventing a diplodocus from breaking, and wishing a shetland pony a happy birthday, and do clear technical writing.

Late reading this, but vass seems to have covered it!

There is, of course the perennial pun in the footnotes, on soul and sole.

Praline!

I hope brain is gooder soon.

A thought occurred apropos of today's fb exchange: I have "friendship" of Sadler's Wells (it expires at the end of this month but is very likely to be extended for a year). I have enjoyed going to more things there and would like to go to more more. Would you like to go to something together sometime (and book with my discount)?
Fine to answer by email or DM or not if you prefer.

[kaberett]

Yes definitely, please! This is the sort of thing I am Very Into in principle but really need company to actually get out to in practice.

[sfred]

I'm going to sit down with the new year's programme sometime in the next few days and make a list of what appeals to me, so I'll let you know when I've done that.

[kaberett]

Awesome :-)

(Note to self that I should check what their policy is wrt wheelchair users getting a free carer, because we might be able to get in even cheaper that way...!)
