“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Chairs

Chairs are all trying to kill you. I have just realized that one particular chair is responsible for this chronic whiplash that I have, a whiplash that is worse than (so I read online) most of the worst whiplash from high speed car impacts.

Turns out my mum has been suffering for months with a terrible back, and that my grandfather had to have two vertebrae fused in his upper spine.

Why? The same chair. See?

Now the trouble is, some chairs convince you that they are not all that bad. They might kill you more slowly, in effect, and look! They are so beautiful. Like these ones (below). I just bought four of the suckers. I love dark orange.

What you need is a standing desk with a barstool then you can stand when you like and sit when you like. That's what I've done.

That's an astonishing pic. P.S. maybe get a standing work-desk & eliminate s/m relationship with said chair.
