Who has worked at SOOOOO MANY now non existent nerd shops here that I used to frequent in 2017-2019

Crazy how small the city can be

This is the universe apologizing to me for everything the last two months piling up so horribly that I had a psychotic episode from stress

Thanks universe

Friend then introduced me to discogs and I found a CD I've wanted for 10+ yr, for a musician that also self released and gave away less than 50 CDs in the early 2000s and there is NOTHING ONLINE except wildly different versions of the songs. Half are just non-existent

Good end of the month tbh

absolutely!! kids need to be shown they have endless capacity to learn something no matter how complex something seems initially!!

and this is the book btw, the art is SO CUTE:

It seemed like a really cool thing to have in a picture book! If it's being read with a child by an adult, they're both learning and the adult can help break down the more complex explanations for the kid and the kid gets early intro to some cool science-y words+facts+concepts!

I recently read a children's picture book about the cycle of fungi (Fungi Grows!) and was impressed that alongside the very simple alliterative picture book writing. There were very detailed explanations of things like my mycorrhizae and mycelia etc that used very uncommon large words

Having friends I can so openly discuss my mental illness with and be met with empathy and care and patience and support and they also get along super well and want to hang out more

Also this really hot musician leaned on my shoulder and came to talk to me after their set

Tonight's really good!!!!

I have been struggling with this significantly for the last 4 months. Even while cute person blatantly flirts with me. It's rough when you miss out on these experiences and have to figure it out when everyone assumes a ton based on your ageeee

I want to have that dinuguan again so fucking bad, I literally have dreams about it

But as much as I love dinuguan, it is such a rich dish and my body's digestive system struggles so much now compared to my early 20s... Wondering if a friend will split with me......

But I'm going back with friends I know and trust and love a lot (and they don't know each other very well but I know they will get along!!!) and it will be good

I have a lot of anxiety about interacting with service workers and taking up their time! So it's nice to hear actually, the conversations about f/f fantasy politics and 80s industrial music and worm dissection leave positive impressions
