@TheInfamousGdub my brain knows my heart’s desires, those secret and those plainly stated, and will never ever ever deliver them in a dream. Only the elaborate setup. The promise. Lucy holding the football. And I fall for it every time.
Brains are the absolute worst.
@TheInfamousGdub I relate to this a painful amount. My dreams, when I recall them, are excruciatingly banal. I’m 41 and working at the same gas station where I worked when I was 19, and I just do a regular shift. Stuff like that. But sometimes something wonderful promises to happen. Some thrilling outcome or impossible but long-desired experience. I’m incredulous, ecstatic, grateful! The thing is just over the horizon, just through that door, just about to begin. And then I wake up. Every time.

If someone kindly asks you to wear a mask around them and you say No, that’s pretty profoundly fucked up.
Here’s why: Whenever someone clearly tells you how you can make them comfortable around you, that’s a gift. Whether it’s how to pronounce their name, what their pronouns are, or any other way to make someone feel safe, it’s the kind thing to do.
Be kind.
@mavica_again I’m running msconfig on it
non-human thoughts
I spent most of the workday today just flatly not wanting to be acknowledged as human, but still feeling very engaged with the work and my colleagues. I solved a complex, long-standing UI/UX problem with some elegant, accessible code, collaborated with peers across multiple departments, solicited and acted on feedback, and never once felt obliged to perform a version of myself that felt inauthentic. 🔶
