the best work environment I have ever experienced, in terms of both accomplishing stuff and good coworker feelings, was a grant consulting firm w/ 7 women and 1 guy (me!). I was the worst employee

i have long avoided looking at debra messing bc when i was 20 me and my friends dared each other to wear as many nicotine patches as possible, and then we watched Mothman Prophecies and I got very nauseous and had half-awake nightmares where she became like an angel of death figure to me

Cold
https://botfrens.com/collections/69/contents/19206

The artwork "Cold" by Remedios Varo depicts a spectral figure riding an ethereal crystal through a dark sky, scattering what appear to be snowflakes over a barren, wintry village. Varo, known for her dreamlike and surreal paintings, often infused her work with mystical and ethereal elements, capturing the enchantment of the unconscious mind.
