Wowow it's been a minute! New job + starting grad school (+making time for reading/writing/games) leaves no time for social media. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But I had to share this amazing artist I came across today at Fresh Flours, Beacon Hill—#lanebestold! 😍✨💖

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

Harold & Maude is hands-down my favorite film of all time. I've literally watched it hundreds of times, and it has dragged me out of multiple emotional spirals. A recent rewatch has reiterated how much the current moment calls for a whole lot of Maude.
A film still from the film 'Harold & Maude'. A background of green grass, with two figures in the foreground: A brown-haired, pale skinned, smiling young man in a light blue turtleneck and gray jacket, turned slightly away from the camera, toward his companion, an older woman with might shin, wearing a camel-colored sweater, with brown hair in braids cruising the top of her head

I would say there are MULTIPLE billionaires pulling the strings—we saw a few of them at the inauguration, then watched DOGE rip apart our federal infrastructure, and steal our personal data+Musk got more $$ contracts. Ellison is just one billionaire that this charlatan, con-man govt bows to.

Multiple blue bubble text messages that read: 
1. Part of me wants to make a cigarette muppet 🤣
2. Its name would be Ciggy Cheroot
3. And it would be French
4. And every time it talked, smoke would come out of its mouth 🌬️

Still dealing with the RNG, BUTTTT, have now got it modded like I'm a baby gamer so that I'm not constantly running out of steps/gems/coins/keys. Still challenging, but no longer so frustrating that I don't even want to play anymore. 🤣 #blueprince #mods #games #thatrnggotme

The rng in Blue Prince is driving me batty. On one run, I had 7 keys, 8 gems, 20 coins, car keys, a shovel, shoes, and the metal detector and most of my drafts were dead ends. Today I drafted 6 new rooms, which all required gems, and I had the two I started with, no $ (got Showroom), and no keys. 🫠

Yeah, it's a weird place right now, being a former fan. I think a big part of it is being massively, repeatedly disappointed by men who talked big about human rights, then do this in private. It's so prevalent, and disheartening. Good thing there are MANY other writers out there to enjoy. 💜
