That's the trick though. Get rid of the alarm and just let your body get you up.

A nice daily reminder. There is a world out there. Explore. Be curious. There are many who would love to meet you.

i hold on too tight to myself when i get nervous & i am (unfortunately) often nervous. learn to release that anxiety even though you’ve been conditioned to center it your whole life. just relax. it’s fine. you’ve got this & we’re all rooting for you. ☺️

The view of the river is quite misty in the mornings. Thursday night we had a hard frost, and as things warmed up, a mist covered the river and surrounding hills, creating a surreal, but somewhat magical autumn scene.

General rule for social gatherings in general. Be curious. Be open.

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black).

be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends.

life is for the living. do it scared.

Good morning Bluesky. May you live boldly today like the frogs do.

If they can’t convince us that we need AI then those billions of dollars they spent on it will be for nothing.

Don’t use that shit. Let these companies lose that money. They should’ve used it to pay fair wages, instead of giving it to tech bro scammers for shitty, useless “innovation.”

I think the joy of being able to do what we do is important. For me, it's working on a script while listening to some really nice music. It also helps the graphic on the video is also so cozy too.

Look at this shirt my mom got me for my birthday! It's terrible (positive)! I love it!

No problem! It's been a while since I moved from one apartment to another, but I think that's typically how it goes. At the very least you might be able to snag a night at a motel/hotel if for some reason they absolutely want you out "by the 31st" and they can't wait another day for some reason.

Mindfulness has a place in the world, but I'm of the mind it's more fluid than what it's presented to be. It's not just about meditation, or being stoic, or focusing on breathing. It's more.

On World Mental Health Day, I'm thinking of those who...
Are struggling in silence
Have faced stigma & judgment
Are on a healing journey
Support a loved one dealing with mental health challenges
Need a reminder that its okay to ask for help
Courageously share their stories
