Perfect! And crazy timing! Lol

(For when the only thing in your control is your breathing. Helps calm & recalibrate.)

Current status. Square/box breathing is amazing tbh.

I'm actually studying there right now! Hope the event is at my campus, lol. Looking forward to it!

Aww, I'm sad to have missed you! Next time!

Oh wow, I haven't been on here in 5 months

@daanis.ca Hi! Are you coming to Toronto for a book event? I saw your name listed on Another Story's October events, but I'm not spotting which & when!

Hmmm, what are people thinking about the new verified on BlueSky thing? It's giving...X

Lmao, me too

The ICE arrests are meant to terrorize dissenters and crush the intellectual freedom that’s the whole point of universities—and the tactic is having its intended effect. Thanks to these professors for fighting back. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

My cat went from being hyperthyroid to being hypothyroid and I'm really grateful to DeepSeek for answering my litany of questions at all hours. Vets should ask "what is your typical anxiety level?" And if it's over like a 7, they'll know "wait 15 days and then retest and we'll see" won't suffice

Did bluesky get more political in the last few months? Not complaining, if so. I was waiting for this, lol

To quote the late, great Carrie Fisher, things are getting worse faster than we can lower our standards.

Russia has significantly increased its attacks on Ukrainian civilians recently.

Just came here to see if people were saying Twitter was down for them, too 😂

Why must I rephrase everything I actually mean seriously into a joke? Lol

Many Indigneous nations have specific legal systems in place to limit the accumulation of wealth and to ensure redistribution of resources. Colonizers banned those practices - like the Potlatch - for a long time. Seems like they need our guidance.

What's that saying, dance like no one is watching, love like you've never be hurt, live like the future isn't in constant jeopardy and you should probably learn how to shoot and stockpile dry foods or something?

Okay, thanks for listening, Endless Void o' the Internet.

I've talked to people but they're all "what do you want to do? What does your gut say?"

Uh, obviously my gut says to endlessly debate what I want to do until I have no idea what the right choice is and everything seems kind of like the bad call so, yeah

I do sometimes have dreams that foretell the future but they're more like "someone is going to die, someone is going to born, tomorrow you're going to make very tiny white balls all day at your LUSH factory gig"

I need a Ghost of Christmas Future situation to help me make some life decisions. Wish I could see how each route would play out and then choose but noooo time has to be effectively linear

Am I doing this on extra hard mode or are the letters there as something you refer to but not lean on?

WAIT A SECOND, the puzzle has letters on the back???? Is this how I was supposed to sort it? Not like this pile has green with some brown and this pile had more brown with some green????

Tbh, I'm not even sure this puzzle has all the pieces #PuzzlesAreAMetaphorForLife

My least favourite part about putting a puzzle together is the amount of self-honesty it demands. Like, when it fits but it doesn't /fit/, no matter how much you think it should. #PuzzlesAreAMetaphorForLife

Currently sorting. I've been sorting for a while. But the puzzle pieces resist definition. Each piece is as similar as it is different to every other piece. The blue sky contains multitudes of shades, and there are so many pooping dogs. So, so many.
