    Living disconnected from oneself leads to becoming a stranger to oneself.

  3. What happened to #empathy?

    There was a time when empathy was an ordinary expectation of civilised #life

    Not a grand #ideology or fashionable slogan

    It's simply the ability to imagine what life looked like from another person’s point of view

    Dealing with #neighbour who had fallen on hard times, #stranger facing #discrimination, colleague struggling with #illness, empathy was regarded as a basic #social virtue

  6. Talked to another #stranger today. He was watching his teenage children play tennis. An Iranian family.

    I discover that he had met Andre #Agassi in the past. Who was, now I learned, born in #Iran.

  8. → Talking to 35 Strangers at the Gym (by @thienantran)

    “I had been conditioned to believe that initiating a conversation with a stranger was weird and it was tough to break free from that.”

    “Luckily, most people were receptive. I got a rush of dopamine whenever someone responded positively to my conversation, so talking to new people became strangely addictive.”

  10. Had lunch in the park here in Cardiff with Jessica today. A complete #stranger who was sat reading and eating a packed lunch asI approached.

    She was not just happy to chat but was fascinating. A financial journalist who occasionally travels to America for that job.

    English in origin, she lived in China for 6 years. Then to Ecuador where her partner still lives. Highly enthusiastic lady, again treating me as an equal peer. A generous spirit.

  11. #Birdsong in my street tonight was particularly pronounced in my otherwise quiet street. First time I recall mentioning the birds to a passer by - who seemed intent on listening to them also. Lo and behold, she showed me her phone that was identifying the bird species in real time.

    What a crazy thing to discover - just by talking with a #stranger.

    “Small talk is a tiny, free and very possibly priceless reminder of our shared humanity. If we intentionally give up talking to strangers, if we purposely decide to give in to the phone shield, the consequences will be horrible. […] Let’s back up and start a conversation before it’s too late.”

  17. For the fans of #Stranger and #ForestOfSecrets #kdrama, I’m happy to say that the ML is equally interesting in #DivorceAttorneyShin, a concert pianist who becomes a divorce lawyer to avenge his sister’s unfair divorce. The bromance with his buddies is delightful. No #BaeDoona, sadly.

  20. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

       The next stage in the development of a desirable form of sensitiveness is sympathy. There is a purely physical sympathy: a very young child will cry because a brother or sister is crying. This, I suppose, affords the basis for the further developments.
       The two enlargements that are needed are: first, to feel sympathy even when the sufferer is not an object of special affection; secondly, to feel it when the suffering is merely known to be occurring, not sensibly present. The second of these enlargements depends mainly upon intelligence. It may only go so far as sympathy with suffering which is portrayed vividly and touchingly, as in a good novel; it may, on the other hand, go so far as to enable a man to be moved emotionally by statistics. This capacity for abstract sympathy is as rare as it is important.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Good Life, Part 1, ch. 2 “The Aims of Education” (1926)

  21. CW: New Blog: wanking off the delivery guy, and tits of course

    There was this guy in too many pockets, all German, and intimidating, and grumpy. And there was me with ASD overload.

    A real encounter led to this filthy, self-indulgent fantasy.

    And of course it's a good excuse to get the tits out again.

    "His cool dirty fingers touched my warm clean ones, and lingered a moment. And neither of us withdrew."

  22. #EYDC2025 A platonic relationship you loved

    There were delightful bromances in Mr. Sunshine, which I recently rewatched, and Devil Judge.
    However, M/F platonic relationships were super strong in the mystery shows, #Stranger/Secret Forest, and #NinePuzzles

  23. We’re among the many who appreciate First Presbyterian Church of Monterey as a peaceful rest stop bikemonterey.org/rest-stop-tip (and more).

    Last Sunday, an unhoused man was found resting in the church courtyard during Sunday service. Read about the response of the congregation. As Pastor Mark Peake wrote in the church newsletter, "It was the gospel lived in real time.”

  24. This year's pumpkin, in honour of #Stranger Things concluding this year and also in honour of Eddie Munson who deserved better 😤

    Carved out with linocut tools.
