Post No. 3,444 - lessons and an observation

So ... I mentioned I had experienced tech problems: I thought for most of a night that I would have to buy a new laptop, which I cannot really afford to do. However, after starting to get some extra back up (emergency access - my multiple on- and off-line back ups meant I was never at risk of losing any significant work) systems in place, I found the problem was in the keyboard, not the device - and I can afford to replace that. 

The night was an interesting one from the point of view of managing a meltdown - walking, not my breathing exercises, was the most useful action for me. I suspect that, for less severe events, breathing would be of greater benefit. 

We never stop leaarning ... which is exhausting to the point of occasionally overwhelming. 

And I still have more work to do to finish setting up the systems I want - and the current workaround so I can type is slow and clumsy, so I am looking forward to a new keyboard. 

 

And, on work, I will likely to starting in a day job in the not-too-distant future, and may have to cut back my work here and on SubStack. I will, however, continue to BPM do as much of the work of this blog as possible, and well as blog-style writing (the books will got to a further back backburner)

 

And on writing, I have been noticing interactions on SubStack between progressive women (i.e., feminists) and other women suffering from toxic femininity, toxic loyalty, and something that is a little like toxic cowardice but actually is more like ... fear-driven toxic subservience/compliance”. 

When I finish analysing that, I’ll write something on SubStack.  



Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider: 

  • there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking” 
  • I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
