On the WhatsApp group for parents of my kid's class at school, people are discussing what to get their boys for Xmas. I encouraged people to be bold, forgo #gender #stereotypes & get boys dolls & art sets. This suggestion was not well received... so I added the picture below and then one Mum piped up that her son loved playing with dolls 😃

EKaren Musk, SpaceX and Twitter
A writeup from an Intern at SpaceX about how Elon Musk required being managed so that the employees could do their job properly.
@alistaircoleman I can see potential for that item. not good potential, more the "giving people a heart-attack by hiding it around the house" potential.
and yes, the house would most likely end up torched to make sure it was gone forever...

Some Mastodon tips I've learned:
- You need a fit, young hunting party
- They are not easy to bring down, so make sure your spears have extremely sharp tips
- Ensure you have a supply line and pack animals available to transport the meat and pelt back to the cave

Great to see Duolingo coaching people how to announce their flounce away from Twitter. Bang on the zeitgeist.

...Also, I was only 4 or 5 years old. The paper figure tabs stated 'Tear Off Carefully' and I misunderstood. I thought they meant 'tear' as in cry, and 'tear off' was an expression I didn't yet know, so the tabs were warning 'if you get scared or upset, do so carefully.'

Given the severe mobility issues that come with having no functioning elbow or knee joints, is it any surprise that the Lego people rely on us to build everything for them?

Eigg isn't connected to the UK national grid. Instead we generate 90% to 95% of our electricity from wind, sun, & water (hydro). Community-owned Eigg Electric was switched on in 2008. Islanders are trained and employed to manage it. Electricity costs 28p per unit/kWh. Before 2008 each property had its own diesel generator. Now we have 24kW of wind, 110kW of hydro, 170kW of solar PV, storage batteries, and a back up generator. Next challenge is #netzero #renewables #eigg http://isleofeigg.org/eigg-electric/
