Normal Rockwell’s Sunday Morning (1959)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s felt like a long week for some reason. Maybe it’s the lunar eclipse, maybe it’s the end of a long oppressively hot summer. In any case I’m delighted to have a few days to reset under the rain.<\/p>\n

Dolly Parton’s song<\/a> was inspired by\u00a0 9to5, a 1970s feminist movement<\/a> in Boston \/ I generally try to stay away from cake but the chocolate cake<\/a> at Crumbs and Doilies is insane \/ on the content design and timing of national emergency alerts<\/a> \/ an excellent article on late late tech and knowledge work<\/a> \/ am spending a weekend in Budapest soon and might try to see some modernist gems<\/a> \/ I don’t think the title is very helpful but this autumn evening tech critical programme<\/a> is interesting \/ the 1980s TFL flood warning posters<\/a> might come in handy again \/ a friend let some poppy seeds<\/a> behind so i’ll be trying to plant them this autumn \/ I wonder if ‘trad wives’ have read about the New Woman<\/a> movement of the late 1800s \/ on love as a skill<\/a>\u00a0 \/ I’m not saying tools for AI<\/a> aren’t good, I’m just saying they’re incredibly badly designed as learning experiences \/ one of my local barristas thinks I look like the television cook Claire Saffitz<\/a> and I accept the compliment \/ a very funny Bluesky thread<\/a> on the gender opinions of tableware collections.<\/p>\n

I’m prepping for Papercamp 5<\/a> in a couple of weeks. There’s only one ticket left which I’m really pleased about as I held back from paying for advertising. I’ll be taking beginners Greek classes at City Lit<\/a> this autumn as I keep going back to Hydra<\/a>. I also decided to take off for two weeks during the Christmas break. I’ll be heading back to Hy\u00e8res<\/a> and look forward to discovering more of that bit of the Med (including Toulon).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
