I read two books after years of not reading for pleasure. I started tracking my food and trying to get enough protein after some chaotic months. Trying to ingest enough sodium to keep my POTS in check. I painted two things, after not painting for 8 years! I’ve been trying to keep ‘unproductive’ screentime down. (Movies and shows I haven’t seen before are fine, scrolling on my phone forever is not). I still waste hours on my phone when I’m fatigued but I’m more mindful about what I do when I feel able

Couple weeks ago I helped a friend escape a DV situation too, although it wasn’t a “house and a farm”, more of an “apartment”. Still, he had wrecked the place so my spouse and I spent a week cleaning it and organizing my friend’s stuff (and my spouse continued for another week after I had to go back to work). We found evidence of a lot of horrible shit this guy did that he left behind, but our friend didn’t want to harm him or something so we respected her wishes on that not going to the police. (Who probably wouldn’t have done anything anyways)

It was exhausting, emotionally draining, hard work but I was glad to do it, I imagine you feel similarly

Tears of the Kingdom because I basically just purchased Breath of the Wild a few months ago and haven’t finished it.

Baldur’s Gate 3, because my friends want to play it all together and so I’m waiting for them

Stardew Valley technically does give you a lot of the wiki information through the books and by talking to the NPCs, it’s just a whole lot easier and less time consuming to use the wiki

Yeah!! I loved it. He’s so good in that one!

Right now my favorite movie is Synecdoche, New York. I don’t think I ever felt so deeply connected to a piece of art before. It’s morbid yet oddly comforting, and my brain chemistry has been permanently altered after seeing it.

I’m in my Kaufman era which began with me and my wife watching Being John Malkovich (which is also pretty damn good imo). And I’m obsessed. He’s reinvigorated my love of cinema in a big way! I feel embarrassed it took me so long to watch his stuff but I think it came to me at the right time in my life

UPS is actually somewhere I’ve wanted to work since my uncle works there, I have a bunch of certs though so I’m going to at least try to make the tech world work for me post military

I’m an atheist, and gay, and I just feel like “haha, you’re a good neighbor so here’s a flag for something that I’m going to ASSUME you’re a hateful bigot instead of actually getting to know you” is kinda bad

it also doesn’t really promote community. Idk, I don’t like it. I’m nice to christians even though some of them are cruel to me, because they’re not all the same. This kind of behavior reeks of “I just discovered atheism as a concept” type thing you see from teenagers. Grow up, be a good human.

No one’s afraid to say anything so much as you seem really annoying. But I’m also annoying, so I’ll say something.

That’s lame as hell, regardless of their religion. You don’t know that they’re homophobic and they also did something nice for OP. Why would you give them something intended to annoy them, that they probably can’t use, as a gift? Just stupid.

I loved this movie to pieces but I have a complicated-but-ultimately-loving relationship with my mom so maybe that’s the piece that’s missing for all the people who don’t quite understand the appeal. It felt very universal though?

Definitely one of my faves.

I didn’t know I needed baba memes til now

I have about 8 criterion films personally, my city’s library has a really good stock of them so I can watch them without commitment!

I’m a maladaptive daydreamer as well but mine is more of a 2 leaning into a 3. I don’t have as much control over my daydreams and need music and/or motion to really get them in gear. It’s kinda like watching them on a secondary screen (like at a computer) while you’re working on the first one? I suppose?

I seem to interact with the internet more frequently than you and I have literally never been told to kill myself online. And that even might be about to change, but I’m not particularly sensitive to it. Still an absolutely braindead and shitty thing to do
