I have a large amount of unread physical books and I periodically feel guilty about that, which I know of not rational. I explained to my husband that I feel like a bad person and he was just like 😯

Does anyone have art tutorial videos/creators they like? I want to learn/practice but I am a complete and total beginner. I want to create my own fanart, even if it's shitty. AI art has pissed me off so much that I have to do it myself.

Trying to adjust to my hearing aides and I'm exhausted. I don't know if it's my brain trying to process all the new sound, or just general "my kids just started school and we're not in a good routine yet" tired. Also, y'all are just walking around hearing all this all the time??? Wild

Hoping that once the kids are in school, I can set aside some dedicated writing time for myself. I have fics I want to finish, and plot bunnies gnawing at the bars of their enclosure. I would really like to go back and give my first couple fics a serious revision too.

Two days ago I was looking at 10k races for the fall once I complete my training program. Last night I went to the hospital and left with a referral to a spine surgeon for an MRI. I am a disaster.

The fun thing about finally getting a hearing test is proving to everyone who dismissed me over the years that I actually do have hearing loss, and I'm not just an asshole who is ignoring you. The less fun part is I need hearing aides at age 39 😅

It's so much easier to take my kids out to do things now that they're a little bigger. Even with my younger son's severe food allergies, we're able to go out as long as it's not a food centric activity, because he knows not to put everything in his mouth and not accept any food from strangers.

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

We gotta stop using anti-book language. "Hit the books." Violence. "The oldest trick in the book." Have you ever read a book? They're extremely clever. "I borrowed a page from your book." DESTRUCTION. "They're a closed book." It is not a book's fault. Maybe you should buy them a book to gain trust.
