CIRCLE WITH A DOT

In the state where I live
the morning radio news show
which is supposed to be "unbiased"
wants me to go out into the world
with nowhere to pee.

@Zer_dyn I'm exhausted. I'm not trying to win. I'm just trying to put one foot in front of the other. @MartinEscardo

@Zer_dyn that button is not available; people are available

@MartinEscardo Yes we do. But if you put the Today programme on in the morning, does it actively hate you?

I've had to be brave my entire life.

I spent a big chunk of my life brave enough to say dependent types weren't the bad idea everyone assumed they were.

Now I have to be brave to be in the world at all.

Am helplessly ruminating on times I had to be "brave".

I fucking hate that I have to be brave.

@Zer_dyn By all means!

But no, it's not that I'm sunshine. It's that I'm a bitch.

@Zer_dyn A bit of both, I think.

I work to make it morally too hot for hate.

@Zer_dyn Sure. My work has facets. The deep dive, I need to myself (which is not to say I'm never on the spot). The figuring out how to talk about it, I need friends. But I'm not comfortable in isolation, and I do go mad when locked up.

@pozorvlak can't say I have; I suppose it was what finally persuaded Julian Assange to leave

@pozorvlak not good; this is a job for habit formation

@pozorvlak Chateau Musar through catflap...

@pozorvlak Alan has influential friends, to be sure.

I've often thought about getting a place on Bute and installing writer-uppers as rent-free caretakers, bunging CalMac a few bob not to let them leave the island.

@pozorvlak what? make a difference to education?

The trouble is that if you locked me up with reams and a pencil in some FP Castle turret and periodically posted Chateau Musar through the catflap, I couldn't bloody do it.

I need people to function.

And I need to make a difference to education.

@Zer_dyn I said "we". I meant "we".

I like people and I think it was better when we did the thinking.

@Natasha_Jay At least this cow supports England!
