I have anything to do with news switched off and only follow crafters, local event announcements, nature photographers and close friends. Why would quitting FB or Insta make any difference?

One of my colleagues in Scotland got sacked for doing exactly that, so nope. Playing Doom, knitting or reading a book was allowed, watching porn was not.

The reason why I'm not writing a book is because I have a vague idea but I won't be able to tie it all up fairly neatly and make sure everything makes at least some sense (ergo: why did x do y?). But apparently that's not necessary anymore.

I'm a middle aged Long Covid sufferer who has moved abroad and has to learn a third language. It's been a complete and utter nightmare. 2 years of courses and I still can't string a sentence together.

Books are getting worse too. Publishers seem to be perfectly happy to publish books with no solid plot that have no proper ending because the writer couldn't think of one.

Sea lioning is pretending to be interested in a reasonable discussion when you're really looking to wind someone up until they lose their temper.

I'm a woman, my parents already gave me a male name. I never really thought about it until my brother had a son and named him after me.

The USA won't let them in, the way they didn't let in the Jews during WW2.
