If Hillary Clinton is the one who takes down Trump over EMAILS it not only confirms to me that we're living in a simulation but also that the programmers have mapped out AN ENTIRE NARRATIVE ARC for us complete with foreshadowing and irony!!!

Playing Animal Crossing again after five years is weirdly unsettling. Like oh RIGHT I found that fossil on March 25, 2020, when I was terrified I might drown in my own lungs, was horrifically low on toilet paper, and was disinfecting bags of Doritos from the grocery store lmao ✨memories✨

I always think my level of burnout and overwhelm will get better once I complete XYZ task or hit ABC milestone, but it NEVER FREAKING DOES. Why don't I learn? It's not about what's on my plate at any moment. It's my inability to say "no." It's social media. It's society's hustle culture. It's ACK.

FINALLY was able to log into The Game Awards site to vote for Expedition 33. I was about to RIOT if I couldn't. If it doesn't win both Game of the Year and Best Score & Music I WILL STILL RIOT. This game should freaking SWEEP. @expedition33.bsky.social GOOD LUCK!
