Twelve year old me was a force to be reckoned with.

Putting up pictures of our son is usually @narlor.bsky.social's job (I usually just share with friends), but he was looking like such a distinguished gentleman.

Catsonova, a brown tabby with white chest fur and white paws ("socks"), is lying down on the carpet with his front paws folded. He is looking forward with his yellow eyes half-closed and looking relaxed. There's a tiny little scar on the bridge of his nose—it's been there for as long as we've had him.

I also had a chance to meet with @bananachangames.bsky.social, who was an absolute delight to chat with. I've been reading through Forgery and this game is lovely and intense (and also a little hot)

The cover for Forgery by Banana Chan. It depicts a young, Chinese woman in her 20's sitting down, hugging her knees close to her chest while holding a paintbrush and palette knife. She is surrounded by pieces of paper with sketches on them. Behind her is a portrait-sized figure defined by light and shadow on the wall. Its head is elongated with two glowing points above her for eyes and what appears to be a mouth that goes into infinity.

Airline prices are out of fucking control

Screenshot of a payment summary where the base airfare is $768.78 USD and the additional seat cost is $436.00 USD. (Tax not included in the screenshot)

That's an additional +56% tax airlines will tack on to have a seat that isn't ass. The price of having even a modicum of comfort I guess!

They're nothing but literal babies.

Oof ouch burnout is a hell of a thing 🥲

TEXT: "Your Creative Type Results:

The Lost Muse

You care deeply about art. It's always held meaning for you and you've known to the depths of your bones. You've poured your heart and soul into creation--but its starting to feel like it never gives back.

Having given so much to your work, maybe it feels hard to keep going. Maybe you're questioning what you create, or the act of creation doesn't quite hold the same joy for you it once used to. You're often reminiscing about the good 'ol days, when you weren't worried about societal expectations or keeping up with social media.

But you feel it in your bones, remember? You know it's important, and so you want to light that spark again.

The Lost Muse can benefit from:
- taking time to rest and reflect on what makes art important to them
- listening to their intuition, even if their inner voices scream of fear, self-doubt, or shame. How do they really feel about art? What do they want from their art?
- creating from a place within and not seeking external validation
- focusing on the process and why drawing feels right, not about the outcome of the project
- developing a habit of recognizing when they feel tired, discouraged, or any other feeling that holds them back, to better understand themselves and their needs

Want to compare with your friends? Screenshot your results and share on Twitter/X or Facebook!"

Today has truly been A Day.

What a week meme.

Older, frazzled-looking man with a black hair and beard wearing a blue, long-sleeved shirt: "What a week, huh?"

Younger man on the left wearing a trenchcoat looking at the frazzled man: "Captain, it's Monday"

Maybe it's because I was raised on very grindy JRPGs and also played Ragnarok Online as my first online game, but whenever I see an Ironman challenge in an MMO, my first response is "Man that's fucked up. I wanna do that."
