You know what, let's do something fun. I'm going to start a thread for all the games I've added to my Steam wishlist during the #SummerGameFest 👀🎮🕹✨
Life is 🔥busy🔥 and I feel drained all the time, but at least I finally have money to pay back my loan (yes, I’m a middle-aged person in student debt — that’s how bad things were. Are?).
Now I just need to hold onto this job long enough to pay it off in full… *nervous laugh*

In the past three weeks, I’ve lost my oldest cat and a close family member — both to illness.
Not exactly a shock in either case, but painful all the same. Still picking up the pieces, and probably will be for a while.
Grief is messy. Long. Different every time. Anyone who’s been through it knows.

RIP Michael Madsen who always seemed to understand being cool wasnt about strutting or being the toughest most supposedly complex person ( looking at you Jon Berenthal)
Its about the quiet confidence of absolutely not giving a fuck

Did I just buy Disco Elysium again on Steam even though I already own it on Epic? Yes.
Am I going to play it AGAIN? Obviously yes.
Am I going to riot if I don’t get Kim in one of my starter card drops? Also yes.
Should you get a copy if you haven’t played it yet? VERY MUCH YES.
It’s $3.99. COME ON.

Last week has been a bit stressful so I decided to treat myself with a morning off. Forget job applications, coding exercises and whatever — just me, a cup of coffee, art supplies and some good music.
Guess who has spent all morning curled up in the sofa exhausted and struggling to stay awake 🫠

David Fincher told Holt McCallany there’s a ‘chance’ #Mindhunter will return 👀
• Would be three 2-hour movies at Netflix
• Scripts are being written
• Fincher has to be happy with the scripts

Maybe I’ll start sharing some favorite tracks again soon — not quite a “song of the day” thing, but something semi-regular? I’d like to, though I’m rubbish at consistency, so we’ll see.
For now, just know I’m utterly, ridiculously, obsessively in love with this one 🖤 open.spotify.com/track/0tnJnh...

It took me years to learn how to resist the urge to destroy whatever piece I was working on, just because I couldn't see past its "ugly stage." Once I learned to trust the process, things got much better.
Still, I never post WIPs. Maybe one day I’ll get over that, too 😮💨

Just opened one of my art supply drawers for the first time in *months* — the one with watercolour, gouache, and inks.
Half the stuff, I don’t even remember buying.
Is this why they say ADHD has its perks? Thanks to object impermanence, I feel like it's Christmas morning 😍

I just saw a Spanish ad from, I assume, an art academy of sorts urging the audience to "stop copying" and "detox themselves from fan art" (literal translation) and promising to teach them to "draw properly".
Be right back, there's something I need to set on fire to "detox" my brain 🤬

It's so hot i'm melting and my cats have lost their minds. Oldest one is full starfish mode sunbathing on the terrace, youngest burrowed under the cotton blanket we use as a couch cover (???)... only the middle one (also the sensible one, how surprising) looks like he's given up on life entirely

I'm 40+ years old (surprised? Yeah, me too) and I’ve *never* been able to stick to a regular summer sleep schedule.
But this year? I’m finally doing it.
Why?
Because our elderly cat now needs medication every 12 hours on the dot — and he's not missing a single dose. Not on my watch. #catparentthings

Feeling sad is a normal part of being human—just like how clouds drift through the sky, our emotions come and go too. You don’t have to fight your feelings or feel bad for having them. Instead, you can notice them, accept them, and trust that they won’t last forever.

Also, this is one of the main reasons I created this account — my safe haven, completely separate from every other social media account I own. No one who knows me IRL is aware of it (except for my partner, who always forgets he even has a bsky account anyway lol). I just needed a clean slate.

People keep talking about a "bluesky bubble" and I cannot stress to these people enough curating a comfortable safe space to be yourself is just a normal human behavior
It is not normal to just allow conflict hatred and awful people to have access to you in some weird exercise to "hear them out"
