International Women’s Day: the freedom not to be perfect
Today is International Women’s Day, and I’m writing this from the dining table while listening to Radio 3 Unwind. I’m sitting down with my laptop and a going-cold cup of tea, after Virginia Woolf’s famous essay A Room of One’s Own popped into my head. In it, she reflects that for a woman to write fiction, she needed two things: money and a room of her own (ideally with a door that closes). What she really meant, perhaps, was time to think and the freedom to exist inside her own mind.

TV Quiz Show Brain-Rot
I might expand on this soon, but I need you to understand this... *** We've often seen that social media's infinite scrolling and slot-machine style refreshers are based upon the methods implemented by casinos in order to keep us playing the game (or in their case, using the application). But what we do not discuss often enough is how these same casino-like situations are implemented by television in order to keep us paying attention to the screen.

Unplug
I am one of those people that unplugs items around the house when I go on a trip. I do it because I want to protect and keep the things I find valuable, from anything happening to them, in the even of a power surge or some other king of natural event that would cause a power outage, or surge. My computer is number one on my list. I use it for my writing and I can’t afford to lose my work. Preservation of high value items is wise, I believe. I’m probable not the only one who does this. So if we protect our “things” like this, why aren’t we protecting our most valuable thing in life, our mental health?
