Why are men?!

There IS still joy and wonder in the universe!

The Monk and Robot books (Becky Chambers), Freya Marske's Last Binding trilogy, and I'll very enthusiastically second This Is How You Lose the Time War.

Aw, sweetheart!

A fluffy black cat stretched out on a footstool

So I now have a pact with my cat where when I see him stretch, I stretch. My little furry accountabilibuddy.

That's glorious.

I was recently talking with my therapist about ways to interrupt negative brain spirals and she recommended even just taking a few seconds to stretch. She pointed out that animals like a good stretch to feel better; it does all our little animal brains good.

Gah, your brilliant mind 🤩

It really is pretty impressive. I mean, we're almost as significant a bunch as infectious disease physicians and Belgian politics and media!

What a sexy little nebula we make there. This is so fascinating and beautiful!

Went xc skiing tonight. Realized at the end of almost four miles that I'd put my boots on the wrong feet.

Feels like a good encapsulation of the level of functioning that I'm achieving these days.

Oh man super specific work experience is so great until it's not and then what the fuck do you do, yeah

No new pictures. Where are you mentally?

Same and it is the absolute worst, god

That looks incredible!

God that's just a perfect summary of all the things that make OFMD so great 💜

Watched the gay hockey show, loved it, rewatched it, recommended it to friends.

But I can't read fic for it. And it makes me miss wrinkles and weirdos. Catch me here til the heat death of the universe, still hyping OFMD and reading Ed and Stede falling in love in every universe.

Unable to resist this little spontaneous purchase.

99% of the time it's Stede sleeping like the dead through multiple unnecessarily jaunty alarms. But then there's that one time Ed gets his revenge and Stede doesn't stop bitching about it for three weeks.

Ooh, would love a link to join!

The fact that I had never seen this before and my first thought was "oh wait maybe that's where that one fic came from!"

Toad sits glumly on his bed while Frog looks on. From "Tomorrow" In *Days with Frog and Toad*

Toad sat on the edge of his bed. “Blah,” said Toad. “I feel down in the dumps.”

“Why?” asked Frog.

“I am thinking about tomorrow,” said Toad.

Would not be sad about that AT ALL.

100% agree, my only amendment is that the shit Stede whispers to Ed is also deeply weird. But somehow also still erotic and romantic, yes.

Can you imagine Rhys's joy if someone told him he'd been referred to as "the New Zealand lizard man"? Priceless.

Gold star for you!

(Also hope you're on the mend soon!)

Also every Orville Peck song ever!
