I did, like, two things around the apartment after dinner and the CAKE song is playing in my head. she is vacuuming the ottoman! she is shredding old bills! she is taking out the recycling and installing the new modem!!!
today someone asked me what I did and the first thing that popped out of my mouth was "writer?" which felt weird.
honestly, this makes me feel so much better that I have tried and failed at the artist's way SO many times.
Rufus unearthed a box that had been sitting on the cat food bookshelf (don't ask) for years. It was from the clinic where I got my ketamine infusions. There were some herbal teas, an essential oil blend, and a crystal inside. I vaguely remember holding it at their office and never again. brains, man
been there... It's hard to have compassion for yourself when you feel like shit. irritability as a symptom of a depressive episode is so annoying. I hope this passes quickly. ❤️
as someone who frequently selects the photo that gets pulled by social media when you link to an article, I salute the person who did this. definitely a choice!

The moss-carpeted base of a tree, which has many arms, and a cute face, and makes you realise why history is full of people who went out for walks in the countryside and wrote stories about bullshit creatures and events.
Very much enjoying this mossy octo-bear creature I found hiding in a tree trunk on a walk in the Blackdown Hills.
he is absolutely the dearest Kermit human, simply radiating good vibes

that would be awesome. her direct contact info is on her site here (like if i gave you her email, this would be it haha!) :) www.hissandtellpodcast.com/contact-us
I emailed her a link to your book!
I started rereading A Court of Thorns and Roses a few days ago, and my kindle app reminded me the last time I opened this book was a week after my mom died. today Rufus found a note my mom had written me that had meandered its way into his stuff. grief has gotten softer and sweeter.
I really need the aging punks and goths we love to be okay for a while longer, please!!!
your mom sounds incredibly rad!
(as a sort of "Yes, and!" reply)
my friend who is a cat behaviorist has a podcast that has a bunch of episodes about pet grief and end-of-live care ❤️ it's called Hiss and Tell!
I overheard a teen exclaim, "whyyyyy are so many people wearing Cocteau twins shirts!!!" when I walked by. because they're fucking great and I'm glad the kids know!
in a true sign of spring, Claudi of Pinc Clouds will be busking in Tompkins this afternoon!!! www.instagram.com/reel/DVq__Ix...

Monetizing YouTube was a mistake. these little fuckheads!!!
I need to revisit Gormenghast! I read it in a book club situation a decade or so ago, and I think it will hit different/better a second time. There's also a BBC miniseries iirc.

I grew up listening to him in Dallas and did not know this!!
