Hard News: How do you sleep?, in reply to Kracklite,
Now every bloody night, it’s “Oh great, another slightly interesting idea that will keep me awake but is not quite the ‘Eureka’ that would get me out of bed to write down. Thanks, brain.”
This is why you keep a notebook beside the bed ;-) (and a pen that writes in the dark - embedded LED)

And Radio Vile strikes again! FFS, is there something in the water?
[edit] which was actually last week. I must have missed it in a paroxysm of community outrage.

Chris Laidlaw sends me straight back to the land of nod for my weekly sleepin on Sundays. Alas, no longer …
Thank sweet baby Jeebus for this. It's worth the sacrifice of sleep.

Hard News: How do you sleep?, in reply to Lilith __,
I have CFS and have particularly bad troubles with sleep. I’ve been through all the usual “sleep hygiene” stuff and it makes no difference to my sleeplessness at all except to make me more irritable because I’m so bored. :-)
Conversely, I am able to sleep at virtually any time during the day if fatigued. I can go to sleep at 10am in bright sunlight and sleep soundly until 1 or 2pm.
You and me both. It's a royal pain. Very occasionally, my wanting-to-go-to-sleepness coincides with what people call bedtime, and I'll drop off quite quickly, but I'll only sleep for a couple of hours at a time then wake for an hour or so and then get another couple of hours, and so on till morning. I've actually just woken up from a "10 minute nap with the cat" that lasted around an hour and a half.
To be honest, this is marginally better than my teen years to mid twenties, when I just would not sleep for 2-3 days and then crash for 20 hours straight, which does not for a positive worklife make.

Consent is not complicated. It’s really fucking simple. If you find it too confusing, you should err on the side of Always Asking, every time. And we should stop pretending that talking about sex isn’t done because it’s dull. It isn’t done because it’s terrifying.

Carmel Sepuloni posted this on Facebook this morning:
At the Waitakere Violence Free network. Some shocking revelations in our discussion. One guy said he spoke to 36 thirteen and fourteen year old boys and some of the responses were along the lines of 1) its only rape if a stranger does it 2) if a girl is drunk and/ or flirting and/ or wearing a short skirt then she is 'up for it' 3) boys set their moral compass as a group. If you didnt think we had a problem then think again.

Also, Mr Fagan has an apology online which sounds a lot better.

The debate would better be served by examining whether it was proper to contact you following whatever information you gave to police, but you chose to suppress this and now readers of this blog have only a biased side of the story.
I am yet to see any of your comments acknowledging your submission of your personal information to the police prior to them contacting you. If this is true, then you have compromised your integrity.For regular readers of this blog, Kracklite’s integrity is not at issue, as you claim. Yours, on the other hand…

If Police Commissioners were to go intimidating people, that’s not how they’d do it.
And they really don’t have time to phone up critics and make chitchat – I speak from experience here.
Point. They'd usually get the comms manager to do it - oh, wait...

I’m frightened. This is terrifying. They know who you are, they’re going to come after you.
It was MY OWN FUCKING HOME!
I'm not surprised your upset. It is terrifying.
