@bobdvb I hear what you’re saying. I’d never considered starting the week on Sunday, or feeling comfortable with Chinese weeks and months a matter of faith.

@Miraz We don’t say “young age” - though we do say “middle age”. I like that Rachel asks, “when is it due?” I read the poem as distinguishing between “being old” as a location or our temporal arc and “old age” as a set of prejudices.

@Miraz What is “old age” anyway? I have always found the bracketing troubling.

@devilgate Thanks, that’s really interesting. What wards was your partner canvassing? I’d say “Gaza” is about belonging, like “immigration” is about belonging for Reform.

@Miraz I didn’t know that you could use cast iron pans on induction cookers. I think a 20cm pan is the “perfect pan”. It’s not too heavy, holds a realistic amount of food, and fits on a normal person’s cooker!
