i must remember that when feeling Bad i should: eat; bathe; sleep; rest; kiss the cats; and also /read/. there are countless authors who write better than i ever will. if i despair at lack of inspiration then it is my own fault.

truly tickled by this recommendation for “things that feel like elden ring”

Looking for books, worlds with expansive lore, dark but also immensely beautiful gothic vibes. Deeply sad/ melancholic undertones and wildly bizarre and exciting creatures and aesthetics
There's something incredibly beautiful and romantic, but deeply unsettling about the entirety of the Elden Ring universe and I would love to read something like that

When Simone Weil wrote, “Attention, taken to its highest degree, is the same thing as prayer. It presupposes faith and love. Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer.” I felt this:

loose plan to improve intellectual circumstances: 1) get promoted to salary for base 70k CA pay 2) pay shit off + rebuild savings 3) ~2-3 years after promotion, go back to school for Thing that will pay if not better, then a workable wage and is intellectually stimulating 4) in the meantime, READ.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

A younger Albrecht sits in the snow alongside a coyote pup. He does his best to shield it with his fairly-burly arm, to minimal result. Despite this, the pup appears quite happy in his presence, and even Albrecht's expression itself appears to be one of contained bliss.

Cringe is dead. There is no such a concept anymore. Be yourself without compromise, ultimately. Ramble, be loud, and be "annoying" about whatever you want... you, your life, your art, your blorbos, your pets, your center of interest No compromise, no shrink. Fight the mean voice inside you. Yes I-

My girlfriend’s work cat (stray who lives outdoors on site) got hurt and now she is recovering in our spare room/my office and she is the sweetest little bean. my own babies are being very polite while vibrating with curiosity, everyone is getting treats, and I’m excited to see how she does inside.

I stopped publicly tracking my running progress bc I realized it was negatively motivating me to run, but yesterday I noticed definitive improvement in pacing and did not get winded at all. Finding my cruising pace between pushes is satisfying. Yay meatsuit goals.

pretty sure corporate american workplaces foster antagonism on purpose to maintain artificial divisions and make it harder to unionize. tough to persuade joan of class solidarity when you want to strangle her for blowing up your inbox

Devilman Crybaby 🖤🪽 Still love this piece after so many years 🤍

My illustration of Devilman Crybaby. Akira/Devilman breaking powerfully through a thick cloak of smoke, his devil wings spread out and his clawed hands palms-up as he is met with Ryo/Satan gently descending toward him with their eight angel wings and intimately cupping his face in one hand. Their faces are close and staring into each other’s eyes, as if in love, a tear rolls down Devilman’s face to his belly with Satan’s other hand trailing down towards it.

the endless loop of killing your health for bare minimum income and then spending all that income to recover health so you can keep killing it for more income must be the most vile torture device for the lower class that capitalism has ever invented

i think part of why it’s hard to adapt to living with someone while autistic is because we so are used to masking for a society that does not accommodate us that boundaries at home are blurred when another person is around to perceive us. it’s so fucking hard to unmask while Aware of Someone.

chatbots exploit crippling isolation cultivated by capitalist hellscape, yes; empathy should be part of how we address this. however. ai companies preying on your loneliness is not the same as wifing up your chatbot as if it were a real relationship. you want a slave, not a partner. say that.

Ted Chiang's fav writing quote is from her essay 'Write till you drop' "There is something you find interesting, for a reason hard to explain. It is hard to explain because you have never read it on any page; there you begin. You were made and set here to give voice to this, your own astonishment."
