I want to plaaaay. Why do I have all these responsibilities that have to be accomplished at human speeds? My priorities are stupid.
I started Silksong, enjoyed the sessions of deep humiliation, but then told myself I wasn’t allowed to play anymore until I completed this, this and this real world tasks, and haven’t done any of those things, so I’ve stalled out only 3 hours in with my reward still dangling. Never to be claimed.

If you're looking for something you can do in these times, find something you have in abundance and apportion it in a way that you can give some away to neighbors. Just ask them if they want any, hand it over, and don't take anything in return.

A ripple of kindness goes further than you think.
I seep into everyone, I’m afraid. A latest novel has an ensemble cast of over 25 characters of all ages and nationalities, but if you squint, they’re all neurodivergent malcontents living on the fringes of the cultures they find themselves in. Maybe it’s one note, but I’ll sing it loud.

she's going through some things. but you're right, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. it's just a very long tunnel. (good thing your pearly eyes are adapted for darkness, friend.)
