I did bullet journal but moved to an agenda I write tasks down in (I found the bullet journal not so great for date specific future tasks - it was good when I was trying to track what I was doing in the moment tho!!) I think it depends on what you want to track

Yeah as someone who has been reading fic for over...twenty (? yikes!) years atp I would echo this - the ratios change over the years. It's rarely either/or, but it's not uncommon for the ratios to go up for down. Last year I read more fic, this year I think I'm trending 50/50, etc

Creative plot, fully developed characters (even beyond ot7), and beautiful creepiness that made the hairs on the back of my neck prickle.
Perfect for October 🎃

I did enjoy it and it is perfect for October 🎃

But whatever, I could explain the topic the training was on AND I have peanut butter cake with concord grape sauce

A photo of a slice of peanut cake on a plate with a fork sitting on it. There's a pool of grape sauce over the top of the slice and on the plate.

possibly important context to this is that i had online training this afternoon, so at lunch was like telling M that I was gonna quote "put on my bluetooth headphones and make a cake while listening so I can pay attention to the training" and I DID get laughed at quite a lot

Brother got diagnosed with ADHD, making me the only sibling without a diagnosis, a thing which in and of itself raises some questions...

*I'm less symptomatic than my siblings, but bro's theory is that I've been self medicating via physical activity since I was 12, which is uh, not a BAD theory

"there's a name for the animal love makes of us"

Object Permanence
[for John]
by Nicole Sealey

We wake as if surprised the other is still there,
each petting the sheet to be sure.

How have we managed our way
to this bed—beholden to heat like dawn

indebted to light. Though we’re not so self-
important as to think everything

has led to this, everything has led to this.
There’s a name for the animal

love makes of us—named, I think,
like rain, for the sound it makes.

You are the animal after whom other animals
are named. Until there’s none left to laugh,

days will start with the same startle
and end with caterpillars gorged on milkweed.

O, how we entertain the angels
with our brief animation. O,

how I’ll miss you when we’re dead.

(I'm in 🇨🇦 and you /can/ get nicer tinned fish here, but it's mostly at French/Italian grocers or specialty shops, the regular grocery stores don't tend to have a ton of selection and tuna is often packed in water which is....less good)

Char 🍃 @twocentpenny.bsky.social · 2d

i would echo this, i've had rich friends who've never had canned tuna. I think tinned fish fills more of a "cheap dinner" niche in NA (mostly cheaper options available) rather than "easy dinner" the way I think(?) it does in a lot of Europe

Char 🍃 @twocentpenny.bsky.social · 2d

ah yeah it's definitely got some creepy vibes!!! I hope you enjoy it 🥰

Thank you for the lovely comments!!! I will reply to them (uh, eventually...sorry I am bad at replying to comments)

Char 🍃 @twocentpenny.bsky.social · 3d

1) that is annoying chore that is easy to put off and therefore worth celebrating 2) did you not go see sy:wembly? 3) honestly I am pleased with the accomplishments but could have done without the constant low grade anxiety 😅
