I agree capability, mobility, stamina, health - are the important bits.
I've lost nearly 50kg from approximately 150kg to 100kg -ish, over an 18 month period. I've also radically changed what I can lift, how hard I can workout and just how many hours I can spend doing physical tasks a week.

For yourself, take pictures or measurements (not just weight) before you start. Even if it's uncomfortable. It's incredibly motivating for consistency and progress to have that after a while, and if you don't you may regret it later!
Totally different reaction here. It's one of the few bathtubs I've seen (that isn't a jacuzi spa hot tub type) that could actually put water on more than just my hips and my feet. ie not pointless.
I might enjoy baths sometimes, but WTAF is the point in the typical short shallow puddle things with knees and body folded up & just feet & hips in water that they put in homes?
At least if you folded yourself in to that some water would actually cover you.
At the end of the day, I believe in people, and in free will. Naivete? Maybe, but the idea that "everyone is awful" just because the folks running our society are definitely awful, does not resonate with me. I'm not looking to lead anyone anywhere, and I don't think it's rational to assume you have all the answers, at every step of the way, and nobody else does.
I take an anarchist approach to everything I do, even teaching; if I arm you with knowledge, you will make better choices on your own.

Good thread. In terms of actually doing stuff I find interest in conversations about how we wean people off corporate #enshittification media, & corporate enshittification social media. It's 1 place to start change.
Hell even a defund-the-fash app. Literally just an app that tries to help busy everyday people easily buy slightly less fascism sponsoring products & services. If it can scan barcodes & or find deals, bonus.

Anyone have any thoughts about selling a lot of art design reference etc books in the UK?
I have stacks and stacks of mint condition & quite beautiful art, design, architecture, various reference books. Is anyone managing to sell books these days?
Individual sales via ebay or whatever would take too long, be too much work packaging and sending individual books I think. Some kind of bulk sale would be better. #FediHelp
Anyone have any thoughts about selling a film/tv collection in UK?
I have a lot of 4Ks, blu rays and DVDs, physical movies & tv shows on disc. I could ship them, but also if I can get some cash for them that isn't ridiculously low that would be an option.
Have sent five e-mails this week now in a back and forth about items ordered and whether they are fit for dispatch.
Last week I sent six to follow up on payment being acknowledged, shipping and the delivery address.
I feel guilty for digging my heels in over details, for wanting to know the order status and that items will be shipped in good condition and as advertised.
But it's not wrong to want what you've paid for.
I've almost abandoned all hope of this order not just getting cancelled 🙃

For certain! I've been repairing a lot of storm damage today, and it's alawys a bit more coplex than it looks at firs assessment, so a lot I wanted to do today gets missed.
