I remember telling my folks years ago that I was really getting into Rush. My Fox-pilled dad was surprised but really happy for the brief time it took me to figure out what he thought I meant and disabuse him of that idea.

The best thing about a reverse chronological timeline is that you get to piece together what everyone is mad about from 10th degree comments-about-comments, and if you can guess before you scroll down far enough to see the original post, you win a prize

Swan Boy is the modern Achewood. If you don't know what that means, it's basically the highest compliment that can be paid to a webcomic. Chaotic, crass, but with plenty of heart, its hard to describe. The only way to understand is to read Start of one of my fave arcs: swanboy.com/comic/injure...

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

is engaged by the standup or whatever, I kinda don't notice the time that the work process is taking. Like someone else said, by separating the clothes into categories first, you just repeat the same motion while you're in a pile, and can more effectively put the tedious part on autopilot. /end

clothes into piles is a task, folding each pile is its own task, and then putting away each pile is its own task. Since they're on the bed, I have an external motivation to deal with them; since the tasks are small, I tell myself that I can at least just do one little part, and since my attention /2

It helps me to turn on a video of a standup or some other entertaining, largely auditory thing (podcasts would work great except I have an inexplicable antipathy towards them). Also, I break it into much smaller tasks - dumping the laundry onto the bed is a task, separating different types of /1

A small crab (less than three inches long) with legs striped bright orange and dark brown peeks its bright orange head out from a buff-colored shell generously speckled with dark maroon algae. It is resting on a roughly textured rock in colors very similar to those of the crab's shell.

I was diagnosed last year at 50, and after trialing basically everything my prescriber could think of... nada. It has been a frustrating and disappointing experience. I guess I'll just keep working on strategies, but I had hoped medication could help with that process.

and still more bees. I'll stop here but I have so many more glamorous bees and silly bees and bees with non-bee friends and sleepy bees I would be happy to introduce :) (4/4)

A mostly pale-orange bee with pollen baskets full of dark orange pollen has just taken off from a cluster of tansy flowers and is captured in flight about an inch into the air. Its wings are barely visible because of their motion and its hind legs dangle adorably below its body while its front legs are bent adorably up toward its face.

A ridiculously tiny dark-colored bee perches on the tip of the white pistil of a small white bowl-shaped blossom.

Chunky bee with fuzzy pale yellow thorax, big black eyes, and a black abdomen rests clinging to the underside of a bright yellow petal. Goofy little goober.

Not easy to choose just a couple favorites, but I'll keep it to a dozen. 2/4

Two fuzzy pale yellow and black bees resting in the center of a bright yellow flower. One has placed a leg over the back of the other in a way that resembles a gentle embrace.

Black bee resting at the edge of a white-petaled daisy with a bright yellow center. The bee is facing away from the center as though it is looking down over the edge of the flower, and its legs and the end of its abdomen are coated with bright yellow pollen.

Fuzzy black and pale yellow bee right down in the center of a rich pink hibiscus-type flower. The pistil is covered in large grains of pale yellow pollen and the bee has also become just absolutely sloppy with large pollen grains, like bright polka dots all over its fuzzy body and its head.

Mostly black, fairly chunky bee with a back covered in white fuzz almost glowing in the sunlight rests clinging to the underside of a horizontal stem of small flowers. Its legs, its face, and the tip of its abdomen are all touched with bright yellow pollen.
