Thanks for joining me!
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
it’s 2 p.m., my hair’s still slightly damp because I showered recently, and I’m still trying to figure out how to arrange everything I need to do so I can actually get it all done, which in practice means my brain is mostly going in useless circles
I’m definitely a functional adult
I actually do need to get up though
How much snow did we get today? Well, my jeans got wet because it was so deep it kept spilling over the tops of my boots
Anchorage weather right now is just like
“YOU WANTED SNOW? HUH? IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED, YOU BIG WHINERS? TAKE YOUR DUMB SNOW AND CHOKE ON IT”
shouldn’t these be like…hiding in a European cathedral instead of haunting an American thrift store
Honestly, the whole Tumblr flagging debacle reminds me of nothing so much as the official White Wolf forums back in the 1990s, whose automatic profanity filters were so overzealous that they ended up censoring terminology from some of their own games.
(For the uninitiated, the starkest example was probably the filter that automatically converted “ass” to “butt”, including when the string A-S-S appeared as part of another word. The trouble is that White Wolf’s most popular game, Vampire: The Masquerade, included in its lore a prominent vampire clan called the Assamites, who stock-in-trade was assassination. Under the forum’s profanity filter, players were reduced to referring to them as the Buttamites, and their missions as – you guessed it – buttbuttinations.)
hmm actually writing out a list did not especially help and it didn’t even include the 12 reports I need to review and publish next week if I want to take a much-needed long break over the holidays, I have a tension headache because I can’t stop clenching my jaw and I kind of want to cry for various reasons 🙃🙃🙃
seriously, what are some strategies for stopping a stress-induced depression spiral before it gets really bad
I’m gonna lose my mind
