I've only done 9258 today. Probably more, my phone was on charge for a couple of hours this afternoon

You win. I very rarely get to 7000+. My goal is 5000 but to get there I have to stop posting on RF. What a dilemma.

Posting while you walk is a thing. Never fallen in the river yet.

Only if you are accompanied thought, for safety of course

I just learned @Wu Wei has a day, today, that is Left Handers Day.
And because I learned this on the internet, I'm also reminded there's a lot of stupidity on the internet, such as those trashing the day because it ignores ambidextrous people and this dumb thing called "transhand" (had to look it up, it's actually called learned ambidextrous, compared to the natural/born that way ambidextrous people).
As someone who is ambidextrous, I object to the objections of Left Handers Day because people still have problems with left handedness. I've seen it, and even argued with a boss over it at my current job.

Oh gods, please leave the trans thing out of this.

‘Left Handers Day’ ignores the Ambidextrous and Transhand communities. End this discrimination now!

Today is International Left Handers Day, ‘the 22nd annual celebration of lefthanders’ superiority’. It’s an opportunity for ‘Lefties’ and their Right-handed supporters to highlight the discrimination they face from the Dextrous majority. ‘Getting right handers to do everything left-handed for...

Which brings us to the most despised minority of all, those who neither identify as RH, LH or AD, but choose to change their handedness. The Transhand (TH) community face mockery from those whose ‘handed’ identity matches their anatomical handedness at birth — that is, ‘cishanded’ people or ‘cis’, as they are known in TH circles.

I think this should be a politics free zone! Including but definitely not limited to trans anything. And I hate math by the way, but I can and will just skip over those posts.

That wasn't political but dismay over learned ambidextrous people trying to attach themselves to the transgender stuff and appropriating the terminology. Anatomical handedness at birth? That isn't a thing.

I want a break from thinking about gender!

Some of us never get one.

Well, I do and I don't want to think about it all the time. So I don't.

Since today is Tuesday, does that mean that this is Belgium?

I'm right handed, but I was born ambidextrous... would write with either hand in grade school. And as an Auto-Mechanic could use right or left interchangeably and can even do it with a computer mouse. But when I went to school they beat that stuff out of you.... they had pens and scissors for Right handed kids and left handed kids and made a BIG issue out of the left hand stuff... the right handed kids all got blue pens with blue ink and the left handed kids red pens with blue ink. The left handed scissors had a piece of red tape around them too, even though they were the same dang scissors, and there were only 3 for the entire class. And kids in first and second grade don't want to stand out so we all wanted the right handed stuff.

Since then I have had 2 people, who analyze hand writing, independent of each other, see me write and the both asked me if I was left handed. Because even though I write right handed they say I am trying to hold my pen like I was left handed....
