  • I'm not drinking at the moment. For a lot of reasons. I want to lose some weight, improve my sleep, get things done, so on. Point is, I'm now a god damn teetotaler for an unforeseeable amount of time. And so I went to a raclette dinner last night and drank non-alcoholic wine. This morning around 5 am, I woke and I felt hung over. Stomach cramps, head ache, dry mouth, the works. What a scam! Was it the nonalcoholic wine? Too much salt? I don't know but I know it's not fair!

    @donthatedontkill You are not alone in this. I don't think our brains can handle both the actual horror and delivery of the horrors with the news/tech hellscape. I feel fried and I'm trying to repair.

    Oh hell yes. I remember the conversation when I first identified "world-weary" in my emotional makeup.

    I think I was 13?

  • Honestly, tonight, I don't feel like I can keep going. I mean, I will. Don't worry for me. But my honest feelings right now is that I'm weary of this world and wish to leave.

  • So yesterday, I got called into HR's office, and I was like, "Oh no, I must have gotten a little real in a political conversation with someone recently."
    And, in fact, it was to ask if I wanted to the company to write a letter to bring with me to my naturalization interview or if there was anything else they could do to help!
    There isn't at the point, but I could tell they were very excited for me and wanted to do what they could and that was really very nice of them. 🥰

    @DelilahTech My mother did. One Saturday we were driving to a piano competition I spent months preparing for. We were late b/c she was very hungover and wouldn't get up. I said I was upset I was going to miss the 1st category. She slammed on the brakes, turned the car around and said I wasn't going at all now. I cried hysterically. When the car stopped I ran out. I hid out at school and helped build a set for the spring play

  • So for my Buddhist study for the week, I've been going through the Japanese version of the Heart Sutra, kanji by kanji, and looking up what that kanji means in the dictionary. Why would I do this sometimes grueling task? Well, in France, unlike the US, they chant almost exclusively in Sino-Japanese, and I dislike that for several reasons. So the best compromise I could come up with is to look up what all those sounds mean and give sense to them.

    @MattMerk I'm late to the party but all I know is that there's this hot guy on the computer screen who spent a whole video seamlessly blended talking about anarchist theory with gadgetry and now he's talking to me about sound waves and now we're talking about antisurveillance and I feel like one of those cartoon characters who has big heart eyes and is about to faint.

    Wind rushing by my ears
    Branches slap my face

    As I wake up
    To a once hidden nightmare.
