Folks with any reach on Bluesky, please consider reposting so I can find friends old and new: I'm Rob; I like fantasy books, maths and physics, ancient stuff and mythology, linguistics and music, British wildlife, and a whole bunch of other stuff. And I might occasionally mention Doctor Who

I’ve been helping my daughter with trig (“helping” doing a lot of work in that sentence). Very frustrating for both of us and I don’t know how to respond to the idea that no matter how many times I explain it, she can’t focus and doesn’t understand.

My wife complains I spend too much time grocery shopping. This fact just prevented me from sharing a funny TikTok with her I saw when scrolling in the parking lot.

Just bottled some vanilla extract, some with vodka some with rum. First time doing it so I guess it will be quite a while before I find out if I did it right.

I think it is, and will continue to be important to manage one’s personal outrage. Pick your battles, save your energy for when it is needed most. Some people will try to cause constant outrage to tire you out or desensitize you. Don’t give them that power.

Over the weekend I decided I am tired of the rat race and will retire. Today I looked at my checking account and yeah, I’ll be clocking in at work tomorrow.
