Sometimes the hardest person to forgive after childhood trauma isn’t the person who hurt you. It’s yourself. That sounds strange when you were a child and someone else was responsible for what happened to you. You might reasonably think...
For those who didn't guess the waterfowl mentioned in this post: https://loveisverbing.bearblog.dev/cricket-4/ it was that little black and white bird called a coot. COOT became an acronym and a poem to inspire folk to designate a...
What fun to harvest my first ever potatoes from my garden! I know it doesn’t look like a lot of potatoes, but they were fun to grow. And I learned a lot about growing potatoes: when to water how to hill what to do when the plants flower...
At the recent XO Ruby Vancouver event, Ryan Davis (zenspider) gave a talk called “Git Power Tools.”1 I would recommend it to any beginner or intermediate Git user whose team a) collaborates on a large codebase, b) collaborates using a...
There is a delightfully grim picture of what, by the account of the online hive mind, is a street in Stoke-on-Trent. In that picture is the story of an Empire that never recovered after WWII; its elites told the natives lies about...
