So, my lifescripts.py is just lists of a bunch of things: things to clean, books to read, things to study, projects to work on/practice, dishes to cook, workout of the day, etc.
It randomly chooses an item from a list and writes it to day.txt as, like, "Guitar and Bass: Stetina Speed Mechanics"

A cool audhd thing to do is make a lifescript to randomly pick shit for you to do: randomly spit out one of the books you're actively reading, things to study or a project you're working on, a room to clean, dish to make, etc.
Highly recommend outsourcing your executive function to dicerolls.

First time on a non-US train in more than 15 years. It's so nice to have reliable, useful public transportation, regardless of what gripes I have or don't have with a near-monopoly on the tracks.

I think I'm very good at monsters, weapons, and effects.
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.
I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.
No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at
Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

we're all out there passing the same $25 back & forth trying to support each other while we're being targeted by forces larger than ourselves. Some of us have been fortunate to build a fanbase, but that gets more fraught when we're putting books (& their fans by association) up against each other

I appreciate Talia's outspoken warning.
Minnesota is my lifelong home. I've been on watch lists since January 2025, but I won't budge. I've made arrangements for our stories to be published if I'm incapacitated.
But it's dire. If you have trans people in your life, you must support them, now.

! Trans creators and activists are being targeted by the FBI. One, Tara, was told she was “propagating radical gender ideology” and “domestic terrorism.”
Rose’s analysis: the feds are targeting politically engaged trans people to find something “illegal” to “make an example out of us.”

Reminded by BG3 fanart that once again, my ideal body is actually swole femme: Karlach (minus the tattoos and the engine heart)
Now accepting how to get swole without a gym membership or home weights. It feels impossible, but I felt that last year about things I did too.
