Good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT 😁!
Velocipedestrienne, flâneuse, solivagant, bibliophile, needlesmith. Swans. Cricket.

yep, for reasons nobody’s actually quite sure of the Prime Minister called an election six weeks ago. Results just rolling in now and the conservative party are getting a beating.

Happy 4th of July to the US gang, sending you strength if today and this weekend is going to be tricky for you.
UK people, don’t forget to vote (you need photo ID).
Good afternoon, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT 😁!

Do not offer street homeless people shelter unless you have the skills, training and abilities necessary to support them long term, including dealing with the underlying issues which led to the person becoming street homeless in the first place and the subsequent issues which have kept them there.

“Not now, maybe later,” is a surprisingly powerful tool.
Can I suggest you play the tape forward, to tomorrow, when you’re hungover and sick? Think about how grim it is on day one (I have a photo to remind me, in all my hungover misery), and how awful that first week sober is as you try to rebuild your sobriety.
What are your sober supports? Can you lean into those? Listen to a podcast, read a chapter of some quit lit, maybe drop in on a meeting?
I bought myself a comfortable backpack for commuting.
Or what about a nice bracelet? Amethyst was believed to protect against drunkenness, and there’s some pretty amethyst bracelets on etsy.

Me starting on the diagnostics pathway has been approved by my medical insurance.
I’m in the UK so normally I’d go via the NHS but the medical insurance I have via work has a neurodiversity pathway and my GP asked me to take that route if at all possible, as it will be quicker and easier for me.

Cheating and corruption does happen, but the sheer logistics of throwing a T20 cricket match would make it borderline impossible, I think?
It’s not like Hanse Cronje and his declaration at the fifth test against England in January 2000, there’s no declarations in T20.
You’d have to have most if not all of the team be in on it, you’d have to overcome years of training so players dropped catches instead of catching them. You’d have to have multiple game plans in place (“opposition wins toss, puts cheating team into bat”, “opposition wins toss, puts themselves into bat”, and so on). You’d have to do all of this under the noses of experienced coaches, umpires, spectators, players, in a way that aroused few, if any, suspicions. It just seems really difficult, if not impossible, to pull off.
