_Things that concern me and that are somehow related to my work:
The difference between a brand new shower head, a found wool blanket, and some natural kauchuk.
Which is more useful, a broken washing machine or a stick with a pillow attached?
Descriptions of a fake stone the size of a fist.
That I can only agree on something if I can also disagree on the same thing.
How to explain without trying to convince?
Certain unintented encounters that led me to believe nonsense.
Lies, garbage, broken knowledge, bad table manners and other evidence of dubious design.
Strategies for appearing not to have lost control.
