THIS! I have been trying to write a story for four years. Wait, maybe longer. Yes, longer cuz I need to count the original percolation period where I get an idea and let my subconscious noodle with it before I write word one. I don't plot because my brain doesn't work that way. But I do think.
The act of writing is *thinking*. If you do not allow yourself to think thoughts that feel wrong, you will never get a feel for what feels *right*.

Note, this is not depression, it’s more “I was barely around, mate.”
To be honest I find the whole ‘Best of—‘ situation to be a FOMO-attracting danger zone for many.
Plus, just because you’re not on a list doesn’t mean you haven’t affected someone. Sometimes it just takes percolation.

I don’t know how to fix that. Except running, or refusing to support anyone not willing to do the hard thing when it’s the right thing.
But it’s easy to soapbox preach from here - even though I see a percolation of some of the same things here on a smaller scale that I haven’t fixed myself.

Thx for the reference!
Lotsa cool stuff about network density + percolation thresholds in that article. Too bad that @kevinsimler.bsky.social didn't hang around + keep posting here (especially now that the blog has gone offline)

Coffee brewer, it's got a little steel ball in the middle and a toggle so you can have it open or closed, so you can do immersion (coffee grounds sit in water and infuse), percolation (pour water directly through grounds), or both.

I feel if I can make like a bear and hibernate/nap until spring, I will be restored. No such luck, though!
I am, however, building more down time/percolation time into my week.
