transition is a bunch of endless little epiphanies, a barrage of realizations that you are alive now and you must deal with the consequences of that.

The most frustrating thing about being chronically ill (aside from the fact of being chronically ill) is needing to jump through ever-smaller hoops to get medication, accommodations, etc. Can bureaucracy stop punishing me for wanting to manage conditions I didn't choose to have?!

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

i will not like this bleet, but i will acknowledge its existence

Is it perhaps this article? www.saintsophiadc.org/rowan-willia...

I've had a similar experience with it. In a way, it feels like praying an internal rosary, stripped down to one phrase. Thank you for sharing <3

I've heard of it and of Franny's obsession with the prayer, but I haven't read the book.

It's very sporadic and disrupted for me as well 😅. And yes, I would appreciate resharing it to that feed.

I'm interested in the Eastern Orthodox monastic tradition of repeating the prayer throughout the day as a contemplative practice and I wondered whether anyone here has done something similar. But, I also want to hear about people's experiences with this prayer in general. What is your approach?

Throughout the day, repeating it mentally or verbally as you go about your doings. But any information about your experience with the prayer is welcome.

Does anyone in the narthex have experience with continually praying the Jesus Prayer? ⚓

Frog and Toad hide the cookies in a box. From "Cookies" In *Frog and Toad Together*

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.”

“But we can open the box,” said Toad.

“That is true,” said Frog.

Ooo, I've been thinking of doing that for a while, but never got around to it. Once I've made sauerkraut again, I'll try this ^^

Two manga panels of Ryo from 'Boys Run the Riot'. In the left-hand panel, he is on a swing, grasping the ropes on either side of him, his face scrunched up. In the left-hand panel is a close-up of his face, eyes shut, teeth clenched and tears falling down his face. The text reads: Why is this me? Why am I like this?

I resisted the urge to get a size too small and consequently gave in to the urge to wear two at once. Inside of you there are two wolves, or whatever.

**i'm** kinda happy about that

I'm back to making weird fermented things! I made Greek yoghurt on Saturday, so now I'm using the leftover whey to make lacto-fermented apple soda (the whey is used as a starter to ferment apple juice). The gut bugs are about to be so happy ^^

Where my fellow antidepressant-users with low sodium levels at?

A manga panel featuring Ryo from 'Boys Run the Riot'. He is ripping a button-up shirt open, revealing the t-shirt underneath. The t-shirt depicts a fist punching through a chain-link fence with the words "GENDER XX" and "STEREOTYPE XY", as well as venus and mars symbols, framing the image.

my top Suicide Prevention Tip has always been "ruin your life before you end it" because that's what worked for me. what I mean by this is that you might as well go ahead and do all that stuff you're terrified of. get disowned by your family. quit your job. fuck it all up big time. radically change.
