Finished reading Guards Guards, by #TerryPrachett.
I liked it. Having read Nights Watch before, Captain Vimes seems very different but better the end of GG i felt the character arc held up (accepting I'm reading in the wrong order and missing books in between).
This is my second book of the year and already half way towards my target of four books for the whole year.

I am adding a fourth goal to my 2025 #resolutions

4. Spend One hour each week in Silent Meditation

What I mean by silent is no podcasts, no music, no talking, not watching anything, no reading.

Last year I was very anxious and it physically hurt me. I looked at my creative works and for the entire year I did three. THREE!

What did I do for myself? Why can't I think? Why can't I write? Because I let everyone else's needs and opinions take priority over my own healthy thoughts.

Wish me luck.

On this, our first Friday of 2025, I want to share a few things that I think will be more important than ever in the coming days:

1. Be the neighbors you'd like to have.
2. Hug your friends more.
3. Make more friends to hug.
4. Normalize platonic cuddling.
5. Be a safe space for people.
6. Ignore capitalism's bids for your attention.
7. Make an investor's day worse.
8. Reach out if you need someone to talk to.

Happy Friday y'all ❤️❤️

It's that time of year, folks... Time to do some planning for the coming year and make your New Year's resolutions!

In the following post, I offer some advice for language learners: how to define your personal resolutions and use them as an effective learning tool.

Some of @aleen's wishes for the new year:

“May we judiciously engage with social media and media outlets. Let’s mute key words and block bad actors with abandon. Let’s close browser tabs and put down our phones more often than we are driven to continue drowning in misery and despair.

“May we have enough money to cover our own needs and help provide for others. Let’s contribute to mutual aid funds and donate to organizations doing the work we cannot and cover prescription costs for friends who need help…and maybe buy some LEGO for ourselves, as a treat.”

aleenmean.comIt's 2025Welp.

Ma première résolution était de trouver des résolutions.
J’en ai finalement trouvé une sérieuse.

En 2025, je vais faire le rappel de vaccination tétanos, polio et compagnie.

D’une part, la date est passée et d’autre part, l’agent orange qui va sévir outre Atlantique prépare le grand retour de la polio.

À faire avant que le vaccin ne soit plus fabriqué, voire interdit.

Alright, resolution time!

First: I'm going to try to remember that my personal preferences are not the same thing as moral absolutes.

Second: I'm going to hit the weights at least twice a week and three times if I'm feeling fancy.
