@soweliniko sleep on the human bed, but furtively. as if you know you're not supposed to be there but no-one has told you to get off yet

I am starting to form a dislike for "mindfulness"
not the practice of meditation, which I find very helpful and think is positive. But "mindfulness". The industry of it. "mindfulness" is what your boss schedules into the work day as a way to claim they are supporting you and not exploiting you. "mindfulness" is what the overworked nurse tells you to do because the health system is fucked and you can't afford therapy. "mindfulness" is sold in apps with monthly subscriptions that are designed to make you believe that they are helping you more than they are, to turn a profit.

Fuck "mindfulness". You do not need any of that shit. Just meditate.
take some time in your day. breathe deeply, focus on your breathing, a mantra, or anything else. notice thoughts as they happen, let them pass as you return to your focus. You can also try self hypnosis, if you want to take things a step further. Don't do "mindfulness". just meditate.

@soweliniko i once tried a "mindfulness" app based on a friend's recommendation. it had reminders and a gamified points system, so it was basically designed to stress you out if you didn't appease the system by listening to guided meditations enough. incredible awfulness

@soweliniko also i remember reading an article by a counsellor who was asked by a company to coach employees on mindful living. they got in trouble for letting employees know that living mindfully includes acknowledging when one's job is abusive

I've slept on puredata for so long. I used to hate it, and it's definitely not without its shortcomings, but I've been having real fun working with it lately.

Day 2 of getting the A600 up and running.

Going to open it up again and see if anything got pushed out of its connection when I closed the case yesterday. Trying to get it back to a working condition again and go from there.

Mouse should be coming in the mail today or tomorrow. Ordered a SCART/HDMI converter as a backup to the piggyback card moving forward.

Realised as this was week 45 of the there's another grid full!

The earlier 4 are here ⬇️
https://things.uk/@eclectech/112100225723504811

Thread also contains discussion about a collaborative version. Still planning on doing that if someone wants to join in. Doesn't matter how many. It will be silly & fun.

Still 7 weeks to go, but as it will need some planning let's pick a hashtag now. Follow it if you want to join in! 🕺 💃

A square grid of 9 blocks of different colours, each numbered (37 to 45). Each box contains a simple animated black and white figure doing something resembling a dance move.
