grief doesn’t shrink we grow around it

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/06/09

On the TODO list is to write more about the origin of “grief doesn’t shrink we grow around it”. For now, this is good enough:

The theory is from the influential 1996 article “Growing around grief—another way of looking at grief and recovery, Lois Tonkin TTC, Cert Counselling (NZ)”

Nowadays most people refer to it as the “grief jar”, see image below, but these weren’t the original images: those are on the right. Initially everyone thought that grief would shrink as seen in Figure 1 and Figure 2, but in fact we grow around it as shown in Figure 3.

Lars Boelen op Twitter: hoe koel je je woning ‘s nachts voor als voorbereiding van een hittegolf – laat je huis als schoorsteen werken en voer de warme lucht af

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/06/02

Een paar jaar terug kwam dit interessante bericht langs van [Wayback/Archive] Lars Boelen 🍃 on Twitter: “Dat kan! En wel door je woning ‘s nacht voor te koelen. Dat doe je door ‘s nachts beneden een raam of deur inbraakveilig open te zetten (dat zal soms wat creativiteit vragen) en zo hoog mogelijk in huis een raam. Het huis gaat daardoor als schoorsteen werken”

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/13

When at look at a local Amazon site, they have plenty of stuff: [Wayback/Archive] Amazon.de : 10 inch rack

2023 example via [Wayback/Archive] Ikea Eket DIY 10″ Rack (UK) [build showcase] · Issue #22 · geerlingguy/mini-rack · GitHub:

Via [WaybackSave/Archive] Jeff Geerling on X: “Everyone in #Homelab knows about the DIY 19″ IKEA LACK rack… but did you know IKEA makes the perfect mini rack furniture, too? Presenting stirkage’s Eket rack! …”

[Wayback/Archive] Tweet JSON (image on the right).

That tweet and [WaybackSave/Archive] Jeff Geerling on X: “Indeed… there’s gotta be some nerd at @IKEA who’s ensuring certain furniture fits standard sized rackmount gear, right?” (image below via [Wayback/Archive] Tweet JSON) have some interesting replies, making the list of usable IKEA products at least this:
