- I like crafts and making stuff. Most recently I have been into crochet
- I like video games
- I have ADHD
- I watch a lot of TV shows while doing said crafting and gaming

To put something positive out there: since I haven't been able to do much with my hands lately, I have been doing a bunch of reading about watercolour and wanted to share some things I found cool/interesting/delightful

If you are wondering how bad the thing with my hand is, last night I moved my thumb the wrong way ever so slightly and my entire forearm has been in constant pain since that moment 😂

For whatever reason my current thing I keep thinking about is watercolour paint, which is too bad because I don't need more paint

Very cool, while carrying on the groceries I full on rammed the doorframe with my good hand. Love it.

This Super Bowl Sunday, I’d like to introduce you all to the magical curse bowls used in Upper Mesopotamia and Syria in late antiquity. Written in Mandaic (as here) or Syriac Aramaic, they trap demons who trespass on a household by sucking them in with spiraling spells to the center of the bowl.

Just noticed today that this Hoya now has a peduncle on it. It's going to look so cool if it blooms!
Pro tip you can use Halloween cups as cache pots for your plants. Got this last year and it's grown out perfectly! 🌱

For whatever reason the "you are interested in plants again" switch in my brain went off. Good thing for me hardly anyone is shipping and my plant wishlist is tiny 😂

When you help make it so the only names people know are Pretti and Good, you reinforce the culture that says these things aren't "bad enough" until white people get involved. This has been going on for a whole year. Many non-white people have died in this same way trying to protect their neighbors.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

"bearing witness to events" literally just means recording what is happening so it cannot be elided or erased in the future, it does not mean you are required to watch execution videos as some duty, stop letting people who don't understand words tell you what to do
