writing a novel is like being in a long term relationship, you keep having to find ways to renew the infatuation

Hey chicago bicyclists! I have a friend who is moving to albany park neighborhood of chicago, near the end of the brown line and wants to start biking for daily errands, haven't biked in a while. What advice would you give? They want to stay anonymous at this time.

from the comfort book by Matt Haig, which helped save my life

For when you reach rock bottom

You have survived everything you have been through, and you will survive this too. Stay for the person you will become. You are more than a bad day, or week, or month, or year, or even decade. You are a future of multifarious possibility. You are another self at a point in future time looking back in gratitude that this lost and former you held on. Stay.

Sorry, not sorry, not going to care about hasan piker’s meat because I grew up with an alcoholic, psychologically abusive father in constant distress, anxiety and worry. Hearing the key in the door every evening was my own “hasan piker’s meat” for almost 20 years.

There are so many stories lately about people who died by suicide after falling into emotionally manipulative patterns with chatbots. We rarely get to hear how the people who loved them are coping after an unimaginable, senseless loss. This is one of their stories: www.404media.co/austin-gordo...

so we originally planned on cosmo jarvis, after the actor. but we found out (as did the shelter) late into the adoption process that she’s a girl, so everyone’s seemingly on the fence namewise. except me. cosmo jarvis, CJ, has my heart.
