Oh nice! I love Book of Life!
I save far too many things for "a rainy day" and meanwhile it's a goddamn monsoon outside.
I save a show thinking I shall treasure it, and only watch it when I'm ready (read: deserve the joy). Then I forget about it and move on, and instead have filled the time with something less awesome.
If you, like me, struggle with scarcity mindset then this coming week pick one thing and choose joy over hoarding. We can do it.
Hey friends?
Stop hoarding joy.
Watch the show, eat the food, read the book, play the game, laugh at the joke, take the trip, wear the outfit...
In the face of unspeakable horrors, have courage and embrace your joy.

MiHoyo announced that they will no longer use Twitter for 'Genshin Impact' in-game event announcements. They will use their own community forum HoYoLAB instead.
#Today I finished the last round of edits before the final sequel of Tales of Ardonna goes for its critique. I wrote both a book & series ending, which now has me sentimental. They'll be 2 more books to come, set in the other timelines, but this marks the beginning of the end of my (almost) 10 year journey. They're just story books but represent the fulfillment of a life-long dream I feel privileged to have fulfilled. Don't let anyone tell you it's impossible to pursue your passions. Go for it.
Soldering is easy.
Here's how to do it.
Download this comic book and share it with your friends!

I was probably past HIM's target audience? I ended up buying one of their albums on vinyl because it was bright pink and I always want colored vinyl. Ended up thinking it was pretty catchy and bought a couple of their CDs. (I didn't actually know they were that popular though. This is news to me!)
I think there are/were valid uses but the frustration tends to outweigh the benefits for me. ^^;;
I remember years ago, some fest being advertised on DW had a shortened link to... something. I politely asked for a non-shortened link because the chances of ending up in an infinite redirect loop on my old computer and slow internet was high. Got condescended at and the shortened link again. Tried explaining and got told no, they absolutely could not share the actual link.
It... just went to a google form.

Last Call
This is one of the last functioning phone booths in Iowa, possibly even America.
It’s in Kelley, Iowa, and I often pass it on my way from Ames to Huxley for work. I’ve thought about stopping for a photo, but the sky never looked right. Tonight, it finally did!
Wow, I love learning via importing old posts that the Google link shortener is going to purposefully break all links in summer 2025. Another good reason to not use shorteners; another thing you can’t control in the breakage train. https://developers.googleblog.com/en/google-url-shortener-links-will-no-longer-be-available/
For fuck's sake. I hated them anyway most of the time because Please Just Let Me Know What I'm Clicking On And Where It's Going, but this is just hostile.
