Really not surprising at all tbh.

I am currently reading 'How Westminster Works' & it's nothing short of eye opening of the ineptness of all the politicians and the current system.

I highly recommend it.

As a black person the reading 'Of Mice and Men' nowadays probably is not an enjoyable experience. (I'm not black).

For her I'd imagine hearing certain words being read out in a white dominated class is an uncomfortable experience.

It was a classic way back then......but times have changed and it no longer deserves that accolade.

But the UK/US education system has always struggled with what makes a 'classic'. #Reading #Education #Classic

I don't. I can use a single knife and have never, I repeat, never contaminated a single jar of Marmite. #Marmite

Much like Helen Slater in The Secret of My Success. Hot :)

But you still had to pay for the tech installed in the toothbrush.

Try finding a good brush that doesn't have this tech installed :/

My mother was awesome at cooking but I never helped or watched her & now I can confidently say I am a better cook than she is.

As a UK resident 'Lemon Ice' to me would be a lemon flavoured Slushy. Just saying :)

I'm predominately a Mastodon user and I create lists.

So for example I have a list for '[email protected]' and when new stuff gets published to that community it populates my list :)

I own only one. Merchant Of Venus (original Avalon Hill) in mint condition.

Would have cost you £80 back in 90' :)

‘High school’? Since when did we become Americanised? Surely you mean seniors? 😄

I’d recommend you read ‘Weapons of Math Destruction’.

Algorithms are usually developed with the best of intentions but no one really knows how they will behave out in the wild.

I never buy any games now until they're under a tenner.

The irony of that is I will willing spend £30-60 on #TTRPG books instead :D

If you get the opportunity I would recommend reading ‘Climate’ by Greta Thunberg. She has managed to collate a fucking great bunch of the worlds top climate scientists in their given fields. It’s pretty eye opening and shocking.

@Ni @juniper It gets harder to buy parent gifts as they get older :/

Hollow words as usual from the government :/

As someone who has been using the Fediverse almost since it's inception it will take time for a community to grow.

Teach others, sell it to them, evangelise if necessary because as with any community it's the people that make it.

The more people the bigger it becomes.

And don't forget your hashtags. It's how you get seen and found :)
