Interesting conversation between #NZGreenParty co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick and #UK economist, podcaster and writer Gary Stevenson of 'Gary’s Economics' from his visit to #Aotearoa #NewZealand earlier this year.
I am only part way through podcast but it’s been worth listening to so far, I will watch the rest later when I have a little more time.

Falling in love isn't something you actively do, nor are you ever to be blamed for it: love is never wrong. It can be complex, and at times very inconvenient, but never wrong.
It happened to one of my all-time snooker favorites, Stephen Hendry, and I'm both sad and angry that guilt is something our society seems to expect from you if it happens:I'm riddled with guilt about the whole thing, but I'm also in love with someone else.
You can be angry with your partner for keeping a secret lover, but not for falling in love and telling you about it.
And what's more, who are you to forbid your partner to act on those feelings? If you really love your partner, you want them to be happy.

CW: MH, PTSD, combat
Four months and three weeks after leaving "Mother of All", still at Hiiliteräs High Port.
Seeker was resting in the cabin she shared with Dyani. The counselling had stretched out to two weeks, but the doctor had given her a provisional all-clear, provided she kept up with the mental exercises she had been prescribed. And took the medications if she needed them.
There was a knock on the door. She got up, and opened it. The engineer, Sparks was there.
"You've been avoiding me" the older woman stated, "even though the Captain would have told you to talk to me."
"I thought it was not my place to intrude."
"Can I come in?"
Flustered, Seeker stepped aside "Sorry, yes, of course."
Sparks grabbed the desk chair, and sat, gesturing at the door.
Seeker closed it, and then perched on her bunk.Sparks looked at her for a few moments "The counselling has helped, I can see that. But I think you need something more. Scan me. Now."
Seeker started at the sudden unexpected order, and tried to pick up the engineer's mind, only to find - nothing.
"Sparks, you're, your mind, it..." She stuttered.
"Good. It works then," and she pointed to a barely visible comb in her hair, "Now. You've been avoiding me. Why?"
"Your past is your own. The Captain..."
"Seeker, I have known the Captain since we were children. We were separated for about fifteen years, but we're together again now. She would not have offered without me knowing."
"Oh" came the reply in a small voice.
"Now. Here is what you should have asked me about. Much like yours, our home planet is a single polity. Unlike yours it is a democracy - we elect our leaders. About four years after the Captain left on her first voyage as a trader there was a military takeover of the government."
Seeker was staring now.
"They cracked down on any opposition, killing anyone who objected to them. Or that they thought were objecting. For two years they held power, but then we struck back. And we struck hard. The response was brutal. I was working as a grav mechanic, when I saw a family being shot at by a squad of troops. One shot hit a four year old little boy. So I took the grav module I'd been fixing, and drove it into that squad at mach three. Then I picked up their guns, and went hunting."
Sparks looked at the ceiling. "Then I went hunting. When I could not find any more soldiers, I went hunting a bottle. We won. We are a democracy again. And the little boy lived. But. I. Was. Broken."
"What happened then?"
"Annabelle found me. Took me aboard, and showed me how to live again. When she purchased this ship, she named it after me."
After a few minutes Seeker asked "Why? Why tell me?"
"I was never a killer, but I had to become one. To save lives. You are not alone. You can still be a good person, still be worth knowing. Maybe even more so."
"She loves you, doesn't she?"
"And I still don't know why," Sparks replied with a lopsided smile.#SF #SFF #Microfiction #Microfic #tootfic #ShamanSpace #IAmWriting

The Happiness Trilogy: 1 of 3-Part Blog Series
Are You Happy?
Fascinating, if You Ask Me!
For nearly eight decades, Harvard researchers have been tracking the lives of hundreds of individuals in what has become one of the most comprehensive studies on human happiness ever conducted. The Harvard Study of Adult Development didn’t just follow people through good times and bad; it revealed fundamental truths about what makes life worth living. What they discovered challenges everything we think we know about success, health, and happiness.
The Surprising Power of Relationships
When Harvard scientists began analyzing decades of health data, medical records, and personal interviews, they expected to find that genetics, wealth, or career success would be the key predictors of a long and happy life. Instead, they discovered something far more profound: the quality of our relationships matters more than anything else.
People who were most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest at age 80. This wasn’t just about feeling good emotionally—close relationships actually protected physical health better than cholesterol levels, blood pressure, or family medical history. The strength of your social bonds literally predicts how long you’ll live and how well you’ll age.
Director Robert Waldinger, a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital, puts it simply: relationships are a form of self-care. While we invest time and money into gym memberships, organic food, and health supplements, we often neglect the single most important factor in our wellbeing—the people around us.
Loneliness: The Silent Killer
The research revealed a darker side, too. Loneliness isn’t just an emotional burden; it’s a serious health risk. The study found that social isolation has health consequences as severe as smoking or alcoholism. People who felt lonely experienced faster physical and mental decline, regardless of how well they took care of their bodies in other ways.
This finding takes on new significance in our modern world, where technology promises connection but often delivers isolation. We can have hundreds of online friends yet feel profoundly alone. The Harvard study reminds us that it’s not the number of connections that matters, but their quality and depth.
Beyond Genetics: What Really Determines Healthy Aging
The study identified six key factors that predicted healthy aging, and genetics wasn’t at the top of the list. Physical activity, absence of smoking and alcohol abuse, mature coping mechanisms for stress, maintaining a healthy weight, and having a stable marriage all proved more important than having long-lived ancestors.
For the inner-city participants in the study, education emerged as an additional protective factor. Higher education correlated with better health choices throughout life, including avoiding smoking, eating well, and using alcohol moderately.
Perhaps most encouraging, the research showed that our life trajectories aren’t fixed in our twenties. People who struggled early in life could become thriving octogenarians, while those who seemed destined for success could derail through alcoholism or depression. Change is always possible.
The Brain-Body Connection
One of the most fascinating discoveries was how relationships protect cognitive function. People in happy marriages maintained better memory and mental sharpness as they aged. Even couples who bickered frequently showed this protective effect, as long as they felt they could count on each other when it mattered most.
This brain-body connection works both ways. Marital dissatisfaction didn’t just affect mood; it actually increased physical pain in older adults. Those in unhappy relationships reported more emotional distress and greater physical discomfort on the same days, showing how deeply intertwined our social and physical health really are.
Conclusion
The Harvard Study of Adult Development offers a clear prescription for a good life, and it’s simpler than we might think. Invest in relationships. Show up for the people who matter. Build communities that support you through hard times. Take care of your body, but remember that tending to your connections is just as vital.
In a world obsessed with productivity, achievement, and individual success, this research delivers a counter-cultural message: happiness isn’t something we achieve alone. It’s something we build together, one relationship at a time.

-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Does romantic rejection hurt more than platonic rejection? A new study says no
Most people assume that rejection by a potential romantic partner is far more painful than rejection by a prospective friend. However, new research published in the European Journal of Social Psychology suggests that, when rejection is actually experienced, the emotional impact is remarkably similar regardless of whether it comes from a romantic or a platonic source.
Romantic rejection is often seen as uniquely devastating, in part because modern societies place heavy emotional expectations on romantic relationships. However, researchers have long noted that humans are broadly motivated by a fundamental need for belonging. Social rejection tends to hurt across all contexts because it threatens shared psychological needs, such as feeling valued, in control, and meaningful.
What has been less clear is whether rejection by a potential romantic partner is more painful than rejection in a friendship context. Given the intense expectations placed on romantic relationships—which are often expected to fulfill a wide range of emotional and personal needs—it has seemed plausible that being denied such a relationship would be especially distressing.
To examine these assumptions, researchers conducted three related studies. In the first, 1,500 American adults were asked which type of rejection they believed would be more painful: being turned down by a potential romantic partner or by a potential friend. The responses largely reflected common intuitions: approximately half expected romantic rejection to be worse, compared with roughly a quarter who anticipated greater pain from platonic rejection, while the remaining participants believed both would be equally distressing.
Led by Natasha R. Wood of Leiden University in the Netherlands, the team then tested real‑time responses to rejection in a controlled experimental setting. In Study 2, 934 single adults aged 18 to 29 (57.9% women; average age 23.4) were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: accepted or rejected by either a potential romantic partner or a potential platonic friend.
Participants engaged with a simulated app environment, designed to resemble dating or social networking platforms, and received either positive or negative feedback from profiles purportedly representing other users. Afterward, they reported how they felt across a range of measures capturing their sense of belonging, self-worth, and emotional wellbeing.
The researchers found that rejection reliably reduced wellbeing, and acceptance reliably enhanced it, but the type of relationship framing—romantic versus platonic—had no effect on emotional outcomes. The team also tested whether feelings of romantic instrumentality (seeing a partner as someone who would help you achieve more of your goals in life) or self-blame might explain any romantic-versus-platonic difference in pain. Neither emerged as a meaningful driver.
In a third study involving 477 participants (73.6% women; average age 20.3), predicted emotional reactions were compared with actual emotional experiences. The researchers also added a “stranger control” group, in which participants were told there was no expectation of forming a relationship of any kind.
Participants were asked to forecast how they would feel before receiving feedback, then report how they felt afterward. Once again, relationship type did not meaningfully influence emotional responses; rejection by a stranger hurt just as much as rejection by a potential date. Furthermore, participants consistently overestimated the intensity of both outcomes, particularly the pain of rejection.
Wood and colleagues put it simply: “It seems the experience of being accepted is so positive and the experience of being rejected is so negative that it does not matter who is doing so.”
There are, however, important caveats to keep in mind. For example, the study was conducted exclusively with American participants, which limits how far the findings can be generalised across different cultures where romantic and platonic relationships may be valued differently. Furthermore, the simulated app environment may not perfectly capture the intense emotions of an in-person rejection.
The study, “What Could Have Been: Predicted and Actual Exclusion by Potential Romantic Partners and Platonic Friends,” was authored by Natasha R. Wood, Sydney G. Wicks, Adam J. Beam, Elijah P. Mudryk, Ellie Bray, and Andrew H. Hales.

"Over four months, I’ve drafted 65 notes debunking conspiracy theories on topics ranging from airplane crashes to Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. I’ve tried to flag fake artificial intelligence-generated video clips, viral hoax security threats and false reports about an ICE partnership with DoorDash.
Only three of them got published, all related to July’s Texas floods. That’s an overall success rate of less than 5 percent. My proposed notes were on topics other news outlets — including Snopes, NewsGuard and Bloomberg News — had decided were worth publishing their own fact checks about.
Zuckerberg fired professional fact-checkers, leaving users to fight falsehoods with community notes. As the main line of defense against hoaxes and deliberate liars exploiting our attention, community notes appear — so far — nowhere near up to the task.
Feeds filled with inaccurate information matter for the 54 percent of American adults who, according to Pew Research Center, get news from social media."

Teenage Kicks Through a Tiny Screen
A hand went up three rows ahead of me and suddenly I had my shot. The Undertones were tearing through their set at Cyprus Avenue in Cork, the stage lights throwing fat circles of purple and magenta across the room, and this person decided twenty seconds of shaky phone footage was worth the effort. It gave me the frame-within-a-frame I’d been waiting for!
Everything around it dissolves into these massive, dreamy bokeh orbs that make the whole scene feel slightly unreal. I shot it wide open and let the background go completely, trusting that the phone screen would anchor the image. It’s one of those concert moments that sums up how we experience live music now. We’re half watching, half recording, the real thing and the digital copy sitting right next to each other.

Imam Ali peace be upon him described a woman as a fragrant flower, not a burden. Kindness and respect are not favors, they are duties. A gentle society begins with how it treats its women.
