This is so much what I needed to hear today. And a lot of what I need to internalize. Highly recommended read.
Today's newsletter, I talked about confidence and believing in yourself.

You know; my "strong" suits. 😆 #writing

I gave my weird joke some more thought and decided I didn't like it anymore so here's a better one

Why don't seagulls fly over the bay?

Because then they would be bagels

In celebration of PIE day upon us I'm reading about Proto-Indo-European cognates

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Eu...

(I'm so sorry)

(I will also probably bake something I'm not a monster)

It really dogears my pages when people use "felt YA" as a criticism of adult literature

Yesterday felt like Friday all day

Anytime I get that feeling, I'm briefly concerned I've stepped into a Groundhog Day / Russian Doll type situation

The realization-dread of discovering that it's Thursday is tempered by relief that my antics won't show up on streaming platforms in a few years

I dunno how I keep getting myself into these crazy situations where I have to leave the house between December and March

Just unlucky I guess

This is my life now

Finding only the best fashion that the world has to offer

Tolerating a talking, bbq-loving cat in a yellow hood

And petting these less erudite cats whose fur make them look like fancy gentleman

All of my Thanksgiving plans have gone sideways except for parade watching

I have no idea why parades brings me such joy but they do

(Even when nobody's throwing candy)

I've got Twitter so ingrained in my muscle memory that in my bored downtime between tasks I press CTRL+T and type "TW-enter" without thinking

but Twitter and I are donezo and I've removed it from my browser autocomplete suggestions

so I've been spending a lot more time on Twitch now
