What happens when a mimic becomes indistinguishable from the original? At what point would it be considered functionally equivalent? (ever watch Bicentennial Man?)

I'm glad you didn't push yourself even further, but maybe that's something you can advocate for ahead of next year's pride? There should be options for people who can't walk that long, for any reason.

Yes! Lol

Love that song

And I blog about podcasting with Marfan Syndrome?

Starting fresh with something else then?

Assuming this is not just depression talking and you really want to start fresh, deleting alone is anticlimactic; you should also print it and burn it. 🔥

Wait why

Tried writing outside so many times and I always just end up doodling in my notebook.

Apocalyptically.

The "but" is so lonely. I love what you did with this.

Very few. Unnamed ones don't count, right? 😅

I have a folder for this writing called The Graveyard. RIP cringe, maybe I'll resurrect you someday.

Why not? No French in the world? 🙃

The Witch and the Blacksmith Original song lyrics about devotion and the grind. Interpret them however you please. They're kind of the first scribbles in a new notebook to break it in. Short, sweet, and done.
