Full disclosure, I cry extremely easily, but even so, how dare the Sayonara Wild Hearts OST make me cry within 45 seconds of beginning to play it. youtu.be/rjGajPvOT7w That game goes so hard when it comes to the perfect fusion of sound and visuals to make you have an Emotion.

I'm in several mum WhatsApp groups, and one mum just wrote a furious paragraph about their daycare giving their baby a sandwich. She days she would never give her toddler white bread, or "even" bread, and I'm just ??? What's wrong... with bread...?

I'm going to be sad when they finish construction on the new apartment building next door to us. I enjoy seeing the giant crane silhouetted against the sunset.

We had a glass of this whiskey last night to celebrate. Really fascinating one, to me, anyway. Very light, but with a lot of complex buttery notes, and a burn that slowly builds. Faintest hint of sweetness at the very end.

Happy wedding anniversary to me for yesterday~ I lost all feeling in my toes for a week after wearing these shoes at the wedding (hard to find retro style shoes for women with wide feet ;_;) but, (probably?) worth it for one night of very fancy strutting.

So... are all of Screen Rant's articles AI generated now? I feel like over the last 24 months that site has gone from vaguely informative clickbait to outright game-of-the-month word salad.

It turns out that a baby gently resting their head on your chest is the cure for all emotional damage, including damage inflicted from watching a Too Real episode of Bluey.

Craftsmanship is an essential delivery mechanism for good ideas to the brain. Reading poor prose is like trying to take a pain killer but every time the pill gets close to your mouth an advertisement for Clash of Kingclans 3 pops up.

🎉 This includes the board books that I read to E (only the first time I read them) but even so, pretty stoked I've made it this far.

My Goodreads reading challenge. My goal is 120 books, and I've read 100 so far, meaning I've hit my goal for October.

I had the kind of horrible nightmare where you wake up partially, and then make yourself go back to sleep, thinking, NO, I CAN FIX THIS!! But then the nightmare just spirals further and you awake even more distraught. Your brain just all "Nope. Not today, wise guy.Today, we suffer".

Platinum Grit is so real, and I cannot explain why without being more R18+ than I am comfortable with being publicly online, but, dang. I still think of one scene on a yearly basis and I haven't read that comic since like, 2006. It's an extremely relatable moment with Nils, of all people.

I looked up the words for the year I was born, and then created this abomination

Cut and paste style text which has been interspersed with other words to tell the following story: Yup, I'm a newb, I was getting on the ol' WAN, you know, the information superhighway, and I found this cool shareware on a newsgroup. A cyberpunk point-and-click game. The screenshot looked bleeding edge. They needed people to beta-test it, so I have them my address. But instead of a CD-ROM, they sent a cryptid formed from noxious gases. Is this what they call vaporware?

When someone describes a trait so familiar you audibly gasp: scarphelia.substack.com/p/when-nobod... Sharing WIPs is motivating. But when I share them and get validation? It's hard not to be influenced by what I think those other people might continue to enjoy over what I actually want to write.

Screenshot of an excerpt from a blog post which reads: "On discovery of something new, I approach it with a natural enthusiasm and sincerity: This interests me. This excites me! Maybe this could be good? Maybe this is who I am!

Then the first terrible thing happens where someone compliments me on it.

Then, like a Twilight vampire with a whiff of a papercut, I experience a bloodlust for validation so profound that it rewires me to the core. Whatever journey I was on simply derails as I default into performance of whatever potential I believe was just glimpsed in me."

I really need to revisit my old favourite books sometime, it's been so long since I read a Sheri S. Tepper novel. My to-read pile is large but also... reading her work now would be a whole new experience. I've forgotten much and I'm a different person than the one who initially devoured her work.
