Lord Almighty, I am not lazy.

While yes, it looks like I’m sitting there on my phone, my functional part is screaming at me. Get up. Go do the thing. Do your work. You wanna get fired? Get up. Get the fuck up… As I click on another meme or post or video.

Earth Science!

Cmere class, look at these clouds! They’re really really cool!! Okay, now here’s a five gallon bucket of water, try to lift it. Heavy, right? Now imagine six hundred of these and look at that cloud again. That’s how much that sucker holds. Crazy, right?!

Now hold this rock. Pretty heavy. Throw it, it falls. Then what about hailstones that are that size or larger. How can they keep something like that, along with five hundred tons of water alllll up in the sky?

Today we gon learn

As someone with a progressive disease: healing magic. I would pay all the bullion and cattle and sacks of wheat necessary to heal, or at least regress this stupid thing.

This is all spoilers, spoiler tagging doesn’t really work so proceed with caution

Several from the Misborn series really hurt. I think Vin’s death most affected me, but Kelsier was a hard one to swallow as well.

I think the biggest impact though is probably from Swan Song? Sister Creep hit me so hard. I read the book young and I’d never read anything so bittersweet and hopeful but so painful. It really stamped some new emotions in me I think.

Or, gosh, almost anyone in Bly Manor, but especially Dani.

Sauropods are so so so cool. It’s just unfathomable for me to think of an animals that big.

In Spain, I think, there’s evidence that they were so heavy that when they walked, it’d vibrate the earth enough to sort of resettle the sedimentary layers nearby. Absolutely wild.

Yeehaw! In 2025 I’m going to defeat my personal demons with a fucking flourish and get yolked as hell doing it.

Oh yes yes yes. I am absolutely going to do that

Hmmm that’s difficult.

FEAR, probably. It was a 10/10 for my childhood for sure, but it’s probably a 7/10 total ?

Ah you’re right. I figured the US overall would kinda answer the question. But I guess NW Washington state is where I’m looking.

I don’t really do resolutions, but I’m looking forward to 2025 being a (hopefully) better year. I’ve already started a few things but I have a lot on my sort of to-dos.

• Find a new place to live
• Finalize divorce
• Focus on healthier foods, better habits
• Take my dog to a wide open beach and let him run
• Take back my independence
• Hope and pray the new political administration is more incompetent than they want to be
• Focus on my friends and found family, be a good person

The future holds so much right now and while I’m still struggling to feel optimistic, I do get the small tingles of hope now and again.

Up Above the Northern Lights. Believe that’s a Mannheim Steamroller

For girls/women, I think it’s important to read The Gift of Fear, as well as The Care & Keeping of You.

Otherwise, as someone that basically did the same thing, I’d say never be afraid to Google something if you don’t know it, and if possible get into therapy.

One of the rentals I’m trying to get into to contact me back so I can leave my house and finally get this divorce on the road.

I was deployed and got a box from my home unit that was basically just trash. I think it was supposed to be funny, but it was just a lot of scrap paper thrown into a box. Nothing written on them that was for me. Nothing to signal anything. Just a big box of trash that could have been nothing more than the recycling bin upended into it.

That was pretty heartbreaking.

I feel like Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride could qualify. If only in a sort of existential crisis kind of way.

Maybe Loss?

At this point in my life, almost all of my friends have come from TTRPGs I’ve joined online. I even moved across the country to be nearer to the core group that I was friends with.

There’s something to be said about experiencing (fantasy) hardships that show you true colors of people without having to get into really messy emotional things irl.

Or I’m just lucky.

Bee and Puppycat. It’s just so bat shit insane while also being cozy and hilarious.

Yay disc golf! What’s the best course you’ve played?
