I think I accomplished more in the past 2.5 hours than 9-5

of course, that 9-5 frustrated percolating is part of the process

still work to be done tomorrow, but I'm feeling better about Sunday

I didn't get any work at all done today, but I put a huge dent in the closets and sorted all the linens, so actually I got a ton of work done today?

I am glad I am tuned in and informed on these issues (and more), I wouldn't have it any other way. but fuck it's a lot sometimes. especially in the loneliness of 5:30 AM

woke up earlier than I wanted. couldn't get back to sleep. gave up, checked my tablet. back-to-back social media posts:
- reminder, SARS-CoV-2 is still ongoing, also oncogenic
- Trump admin is claiming unchecked authority over the military
- shitty "a.i." surveillance will make stuff up about you

Ahab [cont]: "Hold on, hard to read… Mr. Harry… Macey! Oh! And he's dead!"
Mayweh: "Yup. That sucks. Letter from his wife, too. I guess you might as well give it here."
Archangel Gabriel: "No Ahab, you keep it. You're going that way soon."
Ahab: "Oh fuck you!"

also in this chapter:
Ahab: "Seen the White Whale?"
Mayhew: "Yep! Gabe here said leave him alone, he's God incarnate. But chief mate Macey wanted a go at him, and Moby Dick knocked him into the air and he landed stark dead."
Ahab: "Cool. Btw I think we have a letter for one of your men. Lessee, Mr…"

I had headshots taken recently, and I'm honestly jazzed with how they turned out. somehow they look like me, but also kinda feminine, and also kinda attractive?? mods???

also the Sun was good to me this summer, my freckles are *adorable*

"'Lord of the Flies' shows us that mankind is inherently evil" no it shows us that the British school system was built upon violence and supremacy, and children raised under such conditions will inevitably recapitulate violence and supremacy. you can go listen to "The Wall" about it if it helps

mattie lubchansky @mattielubchansky.com · 7d

the fascists are coming for free expression, bodily autonomy and self determination laser-targeted at racial and gender minorities. time to move some damn copies of Lord of the Flies

"I'm gonna sing a song today!"

*cannot get through half the song without wanting to pass out*

(that said, I'm reasonably pleased with my breath control in that first half)

Lorelei @alorelei.com · 7d

*take a medicine before bed so hopefully I sleep through the night and can work well the next day*
*be wakeful throughout the night anyway (albeit for shorter durations) interspersed with dreams*
*wake up in the morning ready to keel right over again, wholly unprepared to work well*
