There's a fascinating thing about Harry Potter which was pointed out to me a while back and now I can't unsee. There's an underlying, repeated message throughout the books: "Systems exist as they always have and cannot be changed. Problems are only solved one individual at a time."

I think this is interesting compared to a book series which ultimately becomes about systems and the power of individuals to operate within and influence them, Pratchett's City Watch series. 🧵

Hogwarts Legacy 

"It's just a game, it's ridiculous to make such a big deal out of this"

Exactly. True. Here is a Hogwarts Legacy 🧵on why IT'S NOT ABOUT THE GODDAMN GAME.

Fun facts about masks:
They're inexpensive compared to getting sick.
They're a minor inconvenience.
They protect you from #COVID19 PLUS other viruses.
If you're ill and don't know, your mask protects people around you.
If more people wore them, we'd not only prevent death and disability, we'd also limit the mutation of COVID.
If you're worried about your privacy, masks also make it more difficult for facial recognition software to track your movement.
#WearAMask - It's a win-win-win-win-win.

Finished reading: Borderline by Mishell Baker 📚

I first heard of this book on a couple of podcasts where it got rave reviews. Took me quite a while to get round to reading it, but those reviews were right. Recommended. micro.blog/books/9781481429788

On account of current developments, have done the thing to mop up the few accounts from Twitter that I want to make sure I follow here if possible.

Just wondering at what point in the Anthropocene Era do we rename natural disasters as man-made disasters.

Eventually, a savings bond will mature and make money.
