December 10, 2021

There were a couple of lovely, non-depressing things in the Graun today.

1. How to beat the winter dread

The main difference between Trømso and the UK, she says, is that people here don’t prepare for winter. 
“It’s shocking to me that no workplace or even individual prepares for daylight saving ending. We should all be thinking about taking it a bit easier that week, giving us some space to sleep more and do less. Instead we get mad at ourselves for being more tired, rather than understanding that this is what it means to live in tune with the seasons.”

Yep. Over the last 200 years we've divorced ourselves from everything natural and then wonder why we're struggling. I would love to reel modern life back a bit so that we don't push ourselves so hard all the time. Employment, the economy, we made that shit up yo. Be more badger. Be more cat.

2. What was the nicest thing to happen to you in 2021?

First Dog On The Moon cartoons were the nicest thing to happen to me this year. Getting away in my van was the nicest thing to happen to me this year. Surviving a pandemic was the nicest thing to happen to me this year.
