one thing remarkable about christian music is the number of couples making music together

and the fact they are still together, when so many mainstream famous married duos divorced ages ago

i wonder what it would look like to use my phone by 20% more embodied and present.

like, not actively punish myself from using my phone, but just notice how I feel while I'm using it and not holding my body in tension while I'm doing it

gonna start printing my "best of" tweets and putting them up on toilet doors
When I was growing up, people would keep informationally dense posters on the back of their toilet doors so you had something to read.

wow I've not heard about this but seems to be a not uncommon phenomenon

makes me want to try taking HRT to see how it feels... (i know this is a bad idea)
HRT did more for me than create physical changes. Within three hours of my very first dose, a noise in my head I never knew was there just… stopped. The world got quieter for the first time in my life, and it’s stayed that way ever since. I’m at peace inside in a way I had never been before.

yeah what's with that
it really annoys me that nature is often more beautiful through polarized sunglasses than with the naked eye. but it is

so I mean n=1 but I feel like zinc lozenges probably have stopped me getting a cold this past week, based on initial symptoms

while waiting for a date another customer came up and introduced himself and asked if I needed anything. I don't think he was staff in retrospect, and he seemed sober and normal.

when he left he stopped again at our table (now with date) and said to have a good night.

oops I should have exported my twitter history recently shouldn't I
May 24, 2025 at 2:03 PM
wow I am full of goss and nary a circle to share it with
May 24, 2025 at 2:03 PM
I don't know why exactly but I've been having for a while now this day dreams which seems mb awful but feels really peaceful

where I'm locked in a room with all my needs met and some other people for company, and stuck in that room in a groundhog day like loop
May 23, 2025 at 11:46 PM
aw man did I miss another day of everyone being on bluesky cos twitter was down cos I was too locked in?

I interestingly think there's something to emotions and Anthropic's 3 H's

helpful - emotions have information. they're trying to tell you something.

honest - emotions are your truth. acknowledging them means seeing yourself.

harmless - emotions cannot hurt you. you can endure whatever comes up.

there's definitely some type of "types of memory" cos I have an acceptable memory for things that happened but I have friends who can like remember lists of food or important numbers but can't remember past conversations
ponder.ooo ponder @ponder.ooo · May 23
it's weird that most ppl don't remember everything everyone ever says to them

people say to just say what you want and don't pander for the engagement but lowkey my experience massively improved once I started trying to tweet bangers alongside my more earnest tweets
social media gets about 99% better when you stop giving a shit about garnering any kind of attention, give that up unto the gods of chance, and just use it to make friends

regret to announce my hair has hit mullet phase, so I need a cut

I messaged someone on Twitter today and they never replied so I assumed they didn't like me and processed it and now it turns out mb the message just never sent??
