Looking up information on google about Sharleen Spiteri of Texas fame. One of the questions suggested is “who is the girl who let down her hair?”.

Me: “… who IS the girl who let down her hair?” 🤨

I’ve been trying to lose weight ever since gaining it in my early thirties. I am so sick of it. The dieting, the feeling bad, saying no to myself or others because “I’m trying to lose weight”. Feeling embarassed nothing works, chalking it up to lack of self-control or perseverance. In 100 years I’ll be dead and nobody will care about what I looked like. 😤

For two weeks I’ve been watching Acre Homestead. Regular video’s of Becky doing shopping, cleaning, prepping, gardening etc. https://youtube.com/@acrehomestead

Jenna and bf renovating a house https://youtu.be/MuKe7VqBuiQ

Jaz and Crystal building a house in Mexico https://youtu.be/Ij0VHpIJSWU

And a channel with video portraits of small Japanese restaurants. https://youtube.com/@udonsobakantou

Visited the Enschede city hall for a meet and greet with female council members and a tour around the building for an event called “women in politics”. It was very nice and I learned a lot. I can recommend everyone to do stuff like this. Get interested, get involved!

@GemeenteEnschede kunnen we dit in Enschede ook eens doen? https://social.amsterdam.nl/@gemeenteamsterdam/113911807978245556

@ivory hi friends, I think Ivory is missing an implementation of filtering by language. I’d like to configure what languages toots I see and which ones get filtered out (depending on the language set in the toot). I am hoping this will also improve adoption of the toot-language feature for accessibility reasons. #featureRequest

So apparently, that Heritage Foundation behind Project 2025 seems to want to organise a Constitutional Convention (see convention of states dot com), during which they can make changes to the US constitution. They need 34 states to call one. Apparently some states voted "yes" to this during better times and never recalled their vote. If you're in the US and worried about everything happening, check to make sure and contact your representative. https://www.reddit.com/r/somethingiswrong2024/comments/1i7wxhq/danger_to_the_constitution_look_for_your_state_on/

My own post, with the counting to ten, reminds me of what old folks learn at their physiotherapy here. They don't train to not fall, they learn how to fall and how to get back up. I think that should be our main tactic. Don't pretend things are not happening but learn to take it on board, keep a clear head, and think about ways to counter/resist/fight back.

I haven’t really posted yesterday. I was in mourning and a little in denial. And then my favourite lunch cafe turns out to be owned by someone who votes PVV (nasty right wing Dutch party) and thinks T is unfairly demonized - “he is a businessman you know!”, as if owning a business inherently makes you morally superior. Counting to ten, moving on. One day at a time. Let’s at least do one good thing for other people each day.

I had actually interjected with a “yes I complained, I didn’t want to get you in trouble” and he said “no trouble at all!”

He offered to leave it with actual neighbours next time. (???) 😂😭

A while ago I got back from a day away and DHL ‘left a package with my neighbour’. A day later I discovered the DHL guy had just thrown it over a fence by the side of the house, completely ruining the contents. I filed a complaint.

Yesterday DHL delivered another package. The delivery guy cheerfully volunteered that when I’m not at home he throws it over the fence. I said, I noticed, my package was destroyed.

He said: “No worries, just file a complaint, they’ll send a new one!”

Visited a “children’s farm” this afternoon with my neighbour. He loved the donkeys. I was quite partial to this huge goat who acted like he had never seen food before!
