If you have (or can get) a full-spectrum/SAD/"happy light" etc., use them!
If you can't, get as much exposure to natural sunlight as you can; it's less effective this time of year, so you'll need more of it.

It's time for my annual reminder: if you suffer from seasonal depression or just the winter blahs, buy the best winter coat and warm waterproof boots you can afford, and go for walks at lunchtime
You'll be happier if you're not cold & wet & miserable & feeling like you're in 30 Days of Night

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

AL and Molly have gotten somewhat cut off from their finances, but that's fine. Upsides of having been an urchin: you know how to stretch a coin!
Plus some light-hearted exchange between the two of them <3

My take on freedom can be summarized by ambulances.
We all agree it's good to get out of the way of ambulances, yes? That only an ass would stay in their lane and blockade an ambulance?
Why, then, should people have the "freedom" to do it?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not pro-authoritarian.

This is so upsetting. Every day I'm disappointed by people putting their own arbitrarily held individual freedoms over and above the common good.
This can’t be happening

I saw a lightbulb go off in my dad's head today.
He was talking about his favourite motorcycle YouTuber, who doesn't wear the armour in his gear. Claims (kinda accurately) that it's insufficient to prevent injury - compare and contrast to pro track racing suits, for instance.

Can I add paragraphs that aren't distinguished from one another? An indent, a gap, anything to let me know focus just shifted a bit.

Hey wanna feel goodbad but also badgood? It's about Unbound.
I worked harder on this book than any before it. My ex-publisher then failed to pay me what they owed me for it & did their best to ruin its chances of survival. That robbed me of a year of my life & ruined my health.
After all that, to see reviews like this one brings me close to tears too.

Here once again to say getting books from the library feels just as good as buying books does. Same arms full of the same books. Same nice little walk through the same aisles. Same brain tingles too. You can even do it right from your phone while you’re on the couch watching bake off. Seriously.

We often don’t do much #SpottedTurtle work in the fall and winter, however, this year is different. All the hard work Ben and Kira did tracking female turtles this summer eventually paid off, and we ended up finding 14 nests (32 eggs).

AL has ended up with a baby (not their own) and tries to find a solution by seeking out followers of the Fates - not a religion, exactly, but there's a sort of monastic spiritualism associated.
