There is no calamity so huge that there is not beauty and humor and joy to be had in the moments between actively working on solving or evading it.
Learning to take those moments, embrace the hell out of them, is what will make it all worth it, at whatever point you reach the end.

This is beautifully said, and how I choose to live my life.

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

Why is sleeping when you're supposed to sleep nigh impossible and wholly unsatisfying but sleeping when you're *not* supposed to sleep is always lovely and magical like the sweet forbidden nap nectar of the gods?

You remember those “Smell-O-Vision” events where you’d watch a show with a lil scratch n sniff card in hand?
Can we get that for BOOKS?
I want to read a romance novel with sensory details like the cafe where they meet cute, or the beach where they confess their love, or a main character’s shampoo.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a power fantasy that goes "What if you could play 5E with a group where everyone knew the rules so perfectly that encounters were fast, the DM worked to integrate backstories for everyone into the plot and your whole incredible gamerthesbian polycule let you be the Main Character"

Sometimes I’m late because the dog had to go out more than once and traffic was really bad and I forgot I had to get gas, and sometimes I’m late because I was sitting on the edge of the bed like this for too long

I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

digging out the morning after a winter storm is the closest thing most midwesterners will experience to true collectivism which makes it even more grating when these jerkoffs refuse to participate

Note to self: I’m not a bad writer. I’m just workin’ on growin’ these mind grapes.
See, people say "write what you love to read" but uh, I loved PALE FIRE and that does not make me Nabokov. Write what flows from you. Your loves will infuse it the way wines have notes of the place the grapes grew, but your mind-grapes are your own and are unique.
I love & consume loads of very popular media so I'm not snooty about it! I just literally don't understand how to write it. My brain turns in squiggles. It would not be playing to my strengths to do anything less than lean into the weird.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖
