When will I learn to ask a librarian first?!?!

I got blood drawn today & didn't even cry.

Maybe I wasn't fumbling baddies. Maybe baddies have been fumbling me.

I've had this painting staring at me for like a month. I haven't touched it in weeks & I think I have to call it complete.

I've had to learn to enjoy being bad at the thing more than I desire to create something "good." Then eventually, I find that maybe I've been "good" for a while without noticing.

Sitting outside near to a major interstate highway. I think the sound of it is kind of beautiful. It feels like most of my life, I've been listening to it & I don't know what I'd do without

Trying to record myself playing guitar & it is pretty humbling tbh. I am still very new at this & I'm learning a lot about where I need to improve.

I think Teenage Dirtbag by Whetus might be the greatest love song ever written.

I know that Doordash provides a service that many disabled people geuinely need, but we should also be able to acknowledge that the gig economy is still evil.

I hate it when people use the word "meditative" when they mean "calming."

I am at the DMV. I was having a grand old time just sitting & waiting for my number to get called, it's been an hour, who knows how long I have left, but I have patience. Then a family comes in with a kid, loudly watching TikTok on an iPad. He gets up, leaves it playing & the family just lets it.

I rarely ever drink, but im constantly given reasons to drink

I have finished my second guitar build. Both my the guitars I've built have had two humbuckers like a Les Paul. I think for my next one, I should do a Stratocaster style build. My main guitar (that I didn't build) is a Strat.

I've spent a bunch of time in thrift/secondhand stores the last few days, and I don't know if I'm hot enough to shop at places like that.

I should be asleep but I keep thinking about fictional dogs.

"My name is Mouse, and I am a good dog. Everyone tells me so." From one of the Dresden Files short stories lives rent free in my head.

Scooby-Doo, being a Warner Brothers property, has a history of crossing over with DC characters.

James Gunn wrote the screenplay for the live action Scooby-Doo. That's all I'm saying.

I've been working out the last few weeks using resistance bands. I've finally crested the hill of being constantly sore, and I just think that's pretty cool. Maybe soon I'll start seeing my muscles getting bigger lol.

I made Flaky Pie Crust Miku.

Why am I getting porn bots messaging me on the guitar tabs website!?!? I guess it's anywhere with DMs, isn't it?

Starting to develop calluses on my fingertips from practicing on my ukulele. It feels a lot like having superglue on my fingertips all the time.

And yes, I know that no one is reading my posts & yet I make them anyway because it brings me joy

You ever listened to John Prine'e Hello In There? Beautiful song. Anyway, go listen to the whole Tree of Forgiveness Album & think "Good job John, you did it."

Been engaging with ukulele content so much in the last week or so that when I watched a video this morning with someone playing guitar, it looked comically large.

You (mostly) don't actually get less good at learning *because* you're an adult. You just get out of practice. Maintaining neuroplasticity as an adult is important. You should engage with topics & do stuff that's unfamiliar to you sometimes because it is good for your brain.

I was on r/ukulele today and saw a post written by a 21 year old about how they were "starting too late." Bro, what? Stop believing in talent, talent isn't real. Childhood prodigies are sort of real, but like, that's usually just because they got a head start.

Go from drinking medium roast your whole adult life to trying a light roast. This shit is ass. Reminds me of when I started drinking coffee, all over again.

You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

Extremely important to bear in mind that an hour of actual community or mutual aid work is worth more thant 10,000 hypocrisy callouts and QT dunks.

This is Clarence. He's a pretty boy.

It was someone trying to argue that teachers shouldn't make students answer questions or give presentations in front of the whole class. Like, I'm sorry that it was hard for you, friend, but developing those skills is going to be more useful for you than any knowledge you learned in middle school.

I have committed the sin of getting in an argument in the comments of a Reddit thread. I will sin again.
