Ask Trev: Different reactions to The Transformatorium

This question comes from Adam in Melbourne: “What’s the strangest reaction you’ve had when people see The Transformatorium?” (Or as Adam put it: ‘the nerd shed’)   Well that’s a toughie, I’ve had at least a few hundred visitors to the shed since I first got it set up nearly 4 years ago.  Some people travel hours to specifically tour the shed and sometimes fathers contact me, wanting to bring…

I spied a sausage

I’ve only gone and spotted a banger wedged in someone else’s sofa, you know! Bit of a pickle, really.Now, I’m thinking, should I cautiously maneuver the sofa cushions to liberate the sausage? But hey, it ain’t my sofa!Blimey, what’s gotten into me? Maybe I should’ve just left well enough alone, you know, respected my mate’s sausage-in-the-sofa situation!So there I was, keeping to myself,…

Y'all.

My darlings.

Bemusement isn't "extra amusement".

It's puzzlement, bewilderment, confusion.

It's not the next step in Amusement on the way to Cemusement.

Sometimes you see a hot take that is so objectively wrong you are tempted to actually respond. Then you have to think...is this a battle I actually want to undertake? Is it likely to make a difference? Or is just going to get me more riled up and have roughly the same effect that yelling at a wall would in the long run?

Sometimes you decide it's a hill worth dying on. And sometimes you decide that it's better to walk away and find something to lower your blood pressure. And other times, you decide that befuddlement and bemusement over someone else's stupidity is enough and you wander off shaking your head wondering how they function in life.

Ketimbang menghakimi orang yang pindah agama dengan sebutan murtad, saya lebih berpikir tentang alasan kenapa dia memutuskan hal tersebut. Merubah keyakinan, apalagi dengan latar belakang agama yang cukup kuat sebelumnya, bukan keputusan enteng. Saya khawatir, bahwa alasan kenapa dia pindah keyakinan bukan hanya karena alasan personal semata, tapi mungkin juga karena lelah melihat bagaimana orang-orang yang dulu satu keyakinan dengannya dulu dengan sibuknya nyebut dia 'kafir' dan 'murtad' di mukanya sekarang ketimbang instropeksi dengan ibadahnya. Saatnya merenung: siapa tahu dia begitu, karena ia muak dengan kelakuan para penganut agama yang dia yakini sebelumnya, ketimbang membenci agama itu sendiri. Kenapa? Duh, situ sendiri jadi buktinya, mengkafirkan orang seenak udelnya sendiri."

Tea, yang heran dengan kaumnya sendiri.

What foreign languages do you teach at your community college?

i’m puzzled as to why this is being asked on anon

if we know each other and i somehow neglected to mention what i teach, or you forgot, there’s no shame in that. i forget lots of things, including what i’ve mentioned to whom

if we don’t know each other, it’s as good a topic as any to start a messaging conversation with (my messages are open, not just to ppl i follow... i’m not some big fancy blog haha)

Dumb Luck

New page is up… Woooo…  Issue 1 will hopefully be printed soon.  Reluctant to put a time table on that… So the other day I was having a shift pint after work.  After the coworker I was chatting with left, I ordered some food and played around on my phone.  Apparently while I was inebriated, I sent out a Friend Request or two on Facebook.  Not really sure what happened.  I figured this out the…
