Yes, this too! Which I do, do. I miss new music, but I don’t miss the bullshit.

I love monospace, I hate lower-case. Which is a shame, because it looks terribly interesting.

This is really sweet, thanks for the share!

When you are lazy, and your tastes are niche - you just stop listening to music.

Oh your typing is driving me mad. I can’t do it, my man. I just can’t.

Yes!

I think this (Horse’s Paper Wasp) might be the guy. You could see them at a distance quite easily. They were fairly large. I realized only after your lovely post that it was a big and vague ask. Either way, bugs are wonderful and thanks for the share. Cheers!

Good friends are an emotional investment, many friends is networking.

The ultimate test!

Jay, I love your style. I think this could work as a less is more type situation. I kind of had to do a double take to take in what was going on. Maybe as if the Feducci were the only idiots to think blind-folding ones self makes someone disappear. Then everyone is unamused with their antics. Not sure, it’s cute though!

Good luck, don’t focus on what you can’t control. Don’t focus on this position as anything long-term. Just be pleasant yet guarded, which is pretty much the mo of anyone I have ever met in property. You can learn to ask the questions you need to ask in personable ways. That will make people more apt to answer them, and it’ll make your job easier. You’ve gotta eat, rent has never given a fuck about morals. If you are somewhere liberal, any leg up you can get to be functionally wealthier is a good one (cost of living). Take care of what you need to, stick to a schedule and don’t allow for push from any side (including your own). Meter your social life accordingly. Eat, drink, etc - sleep. You’ll be okay, as long as you continue to take care of yourself.

Oh yeah, eat real food if you can. Even if it’s a small amount, real food is always much better than fake. You work at a grocery store, if you’re either produce or in good with produce gank up all the sale items. It’s harder when it’s a big grocery store, to get solid discounts. I had a buddy who worked at a top-chain who would hook me up with the seasonals nobody wanted. When I worked at a mom and pop, I ate like a fucking villain. Anything that started to go was open-call and hot damn I don’t think I ever ate better in my life, even now.

Ah, these aren’t the big chunkas I am talking about but maybe their distant cousins. I am not even sure how to describe the guys I am talking about. Gigantic though, they’re pretty big. Around 5cm in length. Orange like too. Thanks for the website, the info is great and I am going to pass it on.

This was such a fun little EP. I especially like that last song, had to go back and give it another listen.

You should buy whatever this person is using, stat!

(Hello, fellow any.)

Those are quite cute! I was thinking about a silicone veil that pushes back against the skin but veils the needle. It seems like a considerable amount of waste though.

My ex solved this by tattooing the area he’d inject. Well, not solved, it’s never solved. Just found a way to cope, like it seems you have as well. I think some people really hate hurting themselves. Needle pain is such a specific pain, because it’s piercing. I am wondering if a simple addition could assist people as they need to self-administer medications. Something as simple as a translucent colored tip. I am not sure, it’d probably would not only fudge with the mechanics, but also add too much waste/cost. It’s just that you are not alone in this. Plenty of people need to inject themselves regularly, and there’s probably some simple solution that could assist in making these medical devices just as functional while being a little less intimidating in form.

Mind you, I know they’re not toys.

Hehehehehehehe!

Just a heads up that ANC cannot be worn eternally. I have used the really good ANC headphones, and the mediocre ones. I think you can get away with wearing the more expensive ones for longer, but they all sort of put pressure on your head. I like open-ear headphones, that allow me to participate with others while side-lining things I want to hear. I have also enjoyed silicone buds. Many wear ear-muffs to negate noises. I believe only ANC will lessen the music. Life is just really loud nowadays. Not sure of your budget, but truly you’d be fine grabbing the best at any range. $20/$50/$100/$200/$400

If you grab the cheaper stuff, try offsetting it with some of the other options available, as when one needs to be put down you can swap to another.

Absolutely shameful confession that I love Yami Shibai. It’s just so trashy. I love the songs, the illustrations, the horror. Perhaps in that order. It’s awful, I love it so much. Mononoke is *my “high-brow” answer, which is one of my favorites as a whole, but jeez do I love Yami Shibai. I feel like I could sit with the first six episodes of The Woman Named Fujiko Miine forever, and kinda let the other six drift off into the abyss. Speaking of absolute nonsense, I love Bly-Manor but I like The Turn of the Screw in any form. Especially that somekindofdifferent 90s adaptation, it’s got about 700% less gay however. Watching a couple of minutes of this drew me right in. There’s just something about it, it casts a hypnotic spell to my brain-bin. Speaking of queer, at the intersection of that and wholesome (well…er…SU) I love Magical Girl Friendship Squad. Which is sort of is SU and Puppycat had a baby and BLAM - you get this.

Toss more if you want!

Right back at you! Very lovely response.

I understand your mom’s madness. You gotta keep the rotation going with beans, or you could run out! Since they’ve gotta soak and what not. The best foods are the simplest, it’s always that way! I’ve got a book that I use most days. It’s got the ugliest cover that ever lived, but I don’t really care about that. I just open the thing, pick the area I want to focus on and go. There is not one pretty thing about the whole process, but it gives me a physical tell which is actionable. I have some cork blocks, but the mat can suck eggs. Anything needing particular padding I use a throw for.

On the big sads, I think that the various internal/external adversities we can face as humans can cause a multitude of issues. To the point where you can solve one, and even if it was the “biggest” one or the one that caused the most pain you’ll find your battle isn’t over yet. While things are hard to find, I swear to you if you can find someone who you can work through these things with it helps a lot. It doesn’t really have to be one person, if you can find a group it can be like…queer magic!

Don’t forget to be kind to yourself. Incremental gains and patience are best practices. It helps keep you from getting overwhelmed and being able to manage your time and energy. As someone who goes from 0 to 100, it has been a painful gain but it’s helped so much. GL sis, you’re gunna be fine!
