From the PNW. Very enthusiastic.
It would be too much! Like half my library is stuff from your recommendations.
But a recent standout is Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo.
I was absolutely surprised at how much was in that game and the mechanics just felt so good, while scratching a huge nostalgia itch for top down gameplay.

I always felt sort of silly, but that moment has always been one of my favorites of the entire series.
There is just so much emotion packed into such a brief moment.

Honestly I love reading all of the legal debates we've had over what food goes into which category.
It's such a good example of how hard it can be to categorize "common sense" everyday things.

Wasn't there a legal case in Indiana last year, featuring that question? I think it was decided that legally (at least in Indiana), tacos and burritos are sandwiches.

Gosh I used to send so many newly out trans and queer folks to Target, as a fairly safe and inexpensive place to experiment with expression.
It was almost always one of my first recommendations, after thrift stores.
But haven't been to a Target in years now. Wild how much goodwill they burned.

Yeah that's fair. I usually try and park myself in a busy (but not too busy) part, like at the bar itself. That way I can sometimes chat with folks as they rotate in and out, and then go back to my book.
But that's not for everyone for sure!
I hope you find something nice to do.

I know that feeling, but I still find it helpful sometimes. I try to go to places where I can be around people but not feel pressure to interact. I'll read a book at a busy-ish bar or go to a open mic.
Its still nice being around folks even if I'm not talking much.

Or if you don't want to play an instrument you played, try a new one!
It's been surprising how much my decades-old tromboning has helped me learn other instruments years later. The basics still help, like reading music, rhythm, and learning by ear.

Nothing fancy. Mostly simple polkas and reels so far. Basic stuff. Britches full of stitches, tell me ma, rolling in the rye grass, etc.
Starting to learn some basic ornamentation but I can tell that's gonna take me a bit.
It's amazing how quickly you can learn a recognizable song though!

I literally picked up the tin whistle this month because of this reason.
Trying to do 90 minutes of practice a week. I figure that's 90 less minutes I'm doomscrolling. It's not an answer but it's something.
Also, making music, even bad music, can be so fulfilling.

Shamrock run is such a fun event! I haven't done it since 2019 and I miss it.
It's chaotic in a fun way, with so many people.

We got a nice bed for our cat. She wouldn't touch it until we lined it with garbage (packing paper).

Irish whistle!
Just starting out but it's been super fun learning some simple tunes. It's been a really nice break.

Yeah I do the same thing. I just decided to learn music as a way to hopefully pull me away from that cycle. It's sad and scary out there.

I loved Girlmode and I'd love to learn more about Phoebe in a sequel.
I loved the tone you took in the first book. But yeah. Oof. Things feel really rough right now.

Yeah I hear you. I'm feeling the same. I really enjoy hearing folks' stories, struggles, and joys, but at some point the feedback loop of sadness and anger just feels constant.
There's so much of it everywhere that I feel like I need to be more careful where I consume it.

Yeah I use the word a lot. Empathy is certainly a thing I feel, but it doesn't describe the joy I feel when I hear about my girlfriend having a wonderful date with another partner.
Just different feelings. I know some folks don't love the word, but I appreciate having a word to describe that.

It's so wild living here and seeing folks describe it who've never visited.
It's like looking in a scary fun house mirror.
