I was thinking about leaving my apartment today because it's been a while and I really probably should. But that would require me to actually leave my apartment today. So I'm on the fence about it.

It's been a little over an hour and I still have The Alcott on repeat with no intention of stopping it. I don't think I can adequately explain how much I love when Taylor Swift and Matt Berninger sing together (See also "Coney Island")

I'm glad it's not just me. The first couple weeks I was on here, it felt like I was just hanging out with a bunch of tech people here who LOVED it. And I. do. not. get. it. Most people don't have their own domains.

I planned to go to bed early tonight. The bad news is that it's past midnight so that plan definitely failed. The good news is that it's past midnight and The National & Taylor Swift's new song The Alcott has dropped. And it's LOVELY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCqoNu36y2o&ab_channel=TheNational

Thursday afternoons are easily my favorite time of the week. I have a 3 hour class that I don't really have to pay much attention to that lasts until basically the end of my work day and then I'm staring out at a long, relaxing three day weekend. It's glorious

Every day is just me spending hours trying to finally build up the motivation to work out. Eventually I get there. Could I avoid the hours of procrastination and anxiety while I *think* about working out? Sure! But where's the fun in that!

I genuinely don't understand people who enjoy trolling or arguing with people online. If I see a comment I really disagree with or I think is super problematic, I usually ignore it. But every once in a while I'll reply and when that person responds and it becomes a whole thing I get so stressed.

I'm watching the Boston Marathon and Eliud Kipchoge has really faded. He's not even top 5. They always say Boston is a wildcard kind of race and today it's clearly gotten to Kipchoge. I'm wondering what it was. An injury? The rain? The hills and the course itself?

I have seen several people shortening Bluesky to bsky. So far I can only see that as “busky”. I’m going to have to work on that

I’m trying to figure out how much to treat this like Twitter or old Twitter or some new thing altogether. It definitely looks like Twitter. The community feels a bit like old Twitter (in a good way). And yet I definitely have no idea what’s going on – which is new.

So I got the invite and wanted to sign up quickly while my preferred username was still be available and then ended up seeing that just my first name was available???? I couldn’t pass that up.
