Ate a lot of today and some kefir.

Sorry fellow humans.

I graduated last month and my friends threw a surprise celebratory dinner for me last weekend. It was really very nice.

And it’s autumn(tism). My favourite time of the year! Mushrooms, long hikes in the forest, rainy stormy days for reading and just being . It getting dark at night again so I can see the stars and the moon. Walks in the dark. The long gentle autumn light that isn’t harsh on your eyes and omg the silence! The silence is so nice.

All the harvest produce, beets and carrots and taters, precious. So much good cooking.

Oh and I get to plan a Halloween party for work. Dressing up as some type of witch, because of course. A dance party would be fun.

I also feel pretty good physically and mentally after starting a new medication. Seems to be helping a lot with all the perimeno, longcovid, probable pmos stuff. And maybe executive function. Working out feels the same it did when I was a lot younger.

I am genuinely doing pretty well.

I find this bit to be one of the most weird and hilarious, it’s such pure civility liberalism:

“America deserved 9/11.” That’s a real thing Piker said during an August 2019 stream, endlessly clipped and quoted. And—surprise—it doesn’t play well.

This same thing is one of the main things my local national news shitpiece of Piker focused on, and we are not even in the US. Adding how terrible it is that “he didn’t even apologize”.

Oh my god the words, the terrible hurtful words that have been said and not even apologized for! Never mind all the corpses produced by usaian imperialism.

It’s such pure undistilled liberalism.

No we really don’t. Most people I know shower maybe once every two to three days, some once a week. The sauna thing is typically weekly too. Unless working out or doing something very sweaty.

But basically most shower as needed, not as a habitual every day thing.

This is a great idea.

The kids do be alright.

Unc/gramp and don’t feel bad about it.

Was sick for a few weeks, it was pretty miserable. A week in, my partner got it too and he’s been going around in full manflu misery and it depresses the shit out of me. Everytime he sees me he very strongly makes it clear with full body language how utterly depressed and suffering he is. At this point he has the sniffles basically.

I am not saying there’s some gender essentialist bs here, but having parented with him there is definitely a difference in presentation on how you respond to illness. As the mom I never really got to just check out/be miserable, especially if the kid was sick too. It’s a whole pathriarchy thing that apparently is starting to annoy me a bit in middle age.

Personally been meaning to take up journaling, into a real book with a pen again. Used to do it a lot back in the day.

Your post gave me motivation to actually start that, because I too look at reddit way too much even though I don’t even have an account. There’s just a lot of my spesific medical stuff related subs there, but it really is so depressing and toxic.

How do you feel about podcasts? There’s a lot of really nice and even affirming listening out there made by comrades. Maybe do some doodling or stuff with your hands while at it if you need something for them to do. Adult coloring books for example are pretty nice, no need to learn anything new.

Dragonlance. Used to love these books as a kid and just found out some are available in the audiobook app I use for my sleep aid. Been having such a fun time, a bit too distracted for proper sleeping, but exited to go to sleep again

Also loved the Becky Chambers Monk and robot books for sleeping.

Did years and years of just Discworld so nice to find something I don’t fully remember by heart.

Oh yea, the everyday Yle experience.

You always go in assuming it’s going to be bad, but it’s somehow always so much worse. This is why I restrict my Finnish media reading to once a month, can’t take the psychic damage anymore.

sosialismimörkö

Classic Yle

Edit. Also, what a disgusting article. There’s so much left bashing both front and center and between the lines, also so condesending and written with an air of incredible superiority.

No wonder they chose not to open this one for commenting, lol. Someone who has actually watched Hasan or followed usaian politics might have replied ruining whatever this article is.

Mine is just a picture of a spicy very round bird that someone drew hands for. It’s very much me, so it’s a sort of self portrait I suppose.

It vibes with the vibe of as well.

Should have done the flailing hands too. But doing this on my phone and hit my very low skill limit, lol.

Mood

Pretty much.

This is a great idea tbh, thank you. I have to figure out how I could do it (if I can make myself). Probably at work would be good, because I am heavily masking then and doing phone work a lot.
