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.

*leans in real real intimidatingly close to your face* even if they're a protagonist
btw just because a character says something in a book doesn't mean the author is endorsing that point of view. just sum food 4 thot

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

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

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
