Secondly, projects! I have them. If any of you remember me from the Way Back When, yes... I'm still working on *that* one.
Worlds Apart (and its side-tangent, Worlds Apart: Those Other Guys) is still going! Slowly... life's been hard, dude. But I still intend on finishing it someday.

There's no anomaly here. People, globally, volunteer their time to powerful public goods the moment they're not actively terrified that they'll lose their home, their food, and their freedom. Which means that capitalism requires us all to live in fear, always - because it can't compete with free.
“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

You gotta understand this is what every baseball game commentary is like. They're basically 2 hour podcasts where the hosts have to keep pausing to comment on where a ball is. It's awesome
Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?"
Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

TFW the love & passion you have for your creative works can physically harm you in the most unexpected of ways when you falter... nearly had my heart break after a bad spiral over one of my stories' lack of recent progress.
God I hope I'm not the only one who's had that happen.

Oof, yep, felt that one. I'm about 20 miles south from the epicenter of that San Diego earthquake that's making the rounds. Some good shaking, but nothing major damage-wise. Been a while since we've felt one, some folks are rattled. Things are okay now, no major aftershocks.

Note to self: getting your pants tailored right before you make big changes to your diet and active life is not advisable.
These things pinch at my knees but are still loose around the waist? Ayiyi.

Got two short stories and a rather large chapter of the sidequel story written and done. Now working on an internal guidebook.
Good start to the year.
