It turns out Norwegian TV shows Harry Potter films all of Easter week. But it's a commercial channel with lots of adverts. This evening the kids kept running off to their room every time the ads came on. I enquired why and discovered they were listening to Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen as an audiobook in parallel 🤯 ...
Weird combination, and I'm tempted to mutter something about the media habits of the younger generation, but it works for them... (And the audiobook, a free librivox product, is 10 hours long so shorter than the full Harry Potter series though longer than any individual film)

Shooting at Florida State University leaves two dead
Two people are dead and six others are in hospital after a shooting on Thursday at Florida State University in Tallahassee. The deceased were not students, campus police said, but their identities have not been released.BYTESEU (Bytes Europe)
I don't have a tremendous amount of experience in the head-giving department. I've given it to precisely one person and not terribly often. They seemed reasonably satisfied with it, but then it later turned out that they're ace, so while they had had oral sex before with others, I'm not sure their satisfaction with something they don't enjoy is a reliable barometer.
I've never sucked dick. There are plenty of reasons for that. I both am terrified of it and also kind of want to, weirdly. I think I might prefer to suck dick than to have my own sucked. But as that has also happened exceedingly rarely, maybe I just haven't ever had it done well? I have nothing to compare to.
But what's annoying is that, while I like the concept, sucking dick or licking pussy both kind of squick me out for sensory reasons. The smells and tastes are overwhelming, plus I have an aversion to putting my mouth on a lot of things, most of them perfectly innocent. I can't share food with most people. Honestly, there have only been two people with whom I can share food: my spouse, and a girl in college with whom I was desperately in love but didn't have the guts to do anything about it.
It's not germs. It's just... I can't really describe it. It's a fastidiousness that I have. I'll drop my own food on the floor and pick it up and eat it. I'll eat all sorts of things. But other people's food squicks me.
I feel like a bad lesbian. I feel like a bad sexual partner. I feel like a desperately unhip person. Totally vanilla to the point of prudishness. The flesh is so willing but the spirit is weak.

"Our age abhors transit. In the middle of the 20th-cent, Europeans used trains, buses, subways & streetcars for 3/4s of their travel. Today the figure is a quarter...that's still high compared to US, where transit accounts for 5% of all transport."

That's the world that, thanks to the Trump Regime, we will all be living in, maybe for years to come.
The way to survive is to remember: If you stick to core values—decency, compassion, refusal to be participate in harmful enterprises—you can be a right-side up person in a wrong-sided world.
