The janitor squints at the unfinished equation, picks up the chalk and scrawls methodically. Soon all the eights have top-hats like snowmen.

Don't look to me for leadership. Sometimes I let YouTube ads play until the end because I feel bad for them.

Things that have scared me over the last couple of days:
- the sound of me inhaling
- the music I listen to at night to lull me to sleep

Cop just drove by with a labubu attached to his motorcycle which made about as much sense to my brain as if he had done so with a motorcycle attached to his labubu

Unless I've got this wrong, which is a distinct possibility, @seanthomason.bsky.social is the original Wendigo guy from back in the old days on that other site, in my mind they go together like two things that go together (I can't think of an example atm), worth a follow if you aren't already

As a theoretical cosmologist, I'm frequently asked "what is the benefit of the work you're doing for people's lives?" Nothing I work on makes money or cures disease.

There are a few different answers one can give, at various levels of "convincing" / "actually relevant to why the work is done."

Having a bad mental health day (it's fine, it'll pass), just listened to Al Green's Let's Stay Together which always makes me feel better, might just be a tiny bit, but you take joy where you can find it
