45% turnout in my ward last time, and the Tories had a 340ish majority. We just need to all vote green, I'm annoyed the labour and lib dems even put up candidates really, there were no lib dems last time, and labour result was pathetic, it's just going to split the vote and let the Tories stay in AGAIN.

I am editing a book for someone and, while it is my job to clean this up, I would like to take a moment to step outside this immediate task and IMPLORE everyone this might apply to to stop using apostrophes to indicate plurality. Thank you in advance.

Something else that’s part of my job is inducting new starts, and something that always amazes me is how many of them simply don’t turn up.

They go to the effort of applying for a job, coming in for an interview and accepting the offer, then just don’t bother.

I mean, I get it. Either the interview shows them something they don’t like, or they get a better offer or whatever, but an email to say “nah, get fucked” only takes a minute to write.

@DJDarren I think it's a modern thing and I wonder if it's in response to the number of jobs that say "if you don't hear back from us you haven't got an interview."

What some people don’t seem to be able to understand is that for the ones with executive disfunction number of steps matters a lot.

I just put away all my dried laundry aside of duvet cover.

Why? Because for all the other things it’s easy one-step task: grab all the knickers and shove them into the drawer, get the home clothes and put it into home clothes cube box(that cubed Ikea shelf is such a helper for people like me, I just have a cube for every thing).

But the linen shelf is at the top of the bathroom closet, and it’s almost full. So I need a stepladder to be able to put the duvet cover there(I can try to shove it there without, I kinda reach the shelf itself, but in its current state the cover is likely to fall from there, and probably with some other things, so that would upset me which I am not ready to deal with now).

But the stepladder is now occupied by my winter shoes which were drying there before I put them away for summer.
But to put them away I need to get two big boxes from under my bed, empty one by putting everything that is there into the other one, put all the shoes there, put the boxes back under the bad, ensure all the boxes there are arranged in a way that is allowing my cat to play in that labyrinth, and probably clean up after that as I suppose there’s going to be a few dust bunnies.

Gosh, I got tired by just typing all that.

Going through all those steps may bot take too much time(if I don’t get distracted by something, including the urge to sort everything perfectly), but the very thought of going through all those steps just discourages me so much that I can’t find energy to start. “It’s just one duvet cover!” - they say. “It’s a shitton of steps!” - I answer.

Well, the cover is drying in a way that obscures a view from my bed which irritates me enough to maybe develop enough anger to put it away in the weekend.

Our garden has a large rectangle of lawn which is never mown, so we have a no-mow year. #gardening #NoMowMay #nature

I made vegan "meatballs" yesterday, with onions, garlic, tomato and herb sauce, with linguine.

They were disgusting. I binned them.

Presenting the cover for my next novel, LOKA, the follow up to MERU! It is a happy accident that my (faded) hair colors happen to complement the cover art so well. 😂

The kindle edition of MERU is on sale right now for $2.50, so grab a copy and pre-order LOKA while you’re at it! The two books can stand alone, but LOKA will be more meaningful if you read MERU first.

Big thanks to Mike Heath, who somehow read my mind for the cover design and paired it beautifully with MERU!

@sbdivya hi, do you know if there's anywhere else to get Loka as an ebook than Amazon? Thanks
