Notes

Looking up the translation for the word “cute” in another language, it’s listed in a dictionary as “cute, a.F” where “a.F” stands for “adjective, Familiar” …but that is not how I read it at first!

Sitting in the front row at the Duke Of York’s to see Danny Boyle’s Sunshine projected on the big screen.

It’s daylight saving time!

Super Toilets were supposed to last all summer long.

Genuine LOL—I reckon Brian Aldiss would approve!

I reckon Musk should’ve been put in charge of mass deportations—I mean, just look at the amount of people he’s already managed to get to leave Twitter.

Well, #FFConf today was a wonderful balm for the soul.

The talks were excellent, and it was really, really good to see people I hadn’t seen in a while—I needed that.

Thank you, Julie. Thank you, Remy.

I think it is beautiful if people have a purpose. But it should be valid to lead a purposeless life too. … Maybe it is okay to not pursue potential and just be okay with being.

There’s a lot of great discussion at #FFconf about meaning and purpose, but I keep thinking about this terrific blog post by Winnie Lim on leading a purposeless life:
