playing chess again after a Long hiatus. (yes, i started during lockdown.) i think my spatial reasoning has improved in the hiatus because i'm finding it easier to visualise the capture areas of both my pieces and my opponent's. it's wild.

i have awakened. emika's first album is my current soundtrack. except 3 hours. i prefer hit me, which is an alternate version of the same song. hit me is fucking Raw. 3 hours is a bit too polished imo.

i'm enjoying the pitt s1 but i really wish they didn't stick cliffhangers at the very end of episodes. like, i understand that you want me to keep watching till i'm a shriveled husk, but i need sleep, man. i've gotten in the habit of pressing pause 1 minute from the end, for my pre-bed peace of mind

i lile eric rosen's chess streams. i attempt to understand chess, which i understand about as well as differentiation and integration in math, and his calm voice lulls me to sleep. good times.

HR isn't for the workers. it's for the one person at the top of the food chain. that's the human whose resources they're managing and protecting. not you.

john mulaney was right about the horse loose in the hospital. wwhy are you interviewing the horse like it's a sane person. it's a _horse_. this calls for emergency measures, fam.

when k.flay said 'i wanna wake up feelin like i've fuckin slept', i felt that. i feel like i've slept for 4 hours or so, which is an improvement on feeling like i've slept for zero, i think.

oh also i have played a Ridiculous amount of Don't Starve Together in the past week. it is a Ridiculously good game. i might even be enjoying it more than Oxygen Not Included! ONI is a little too technical for me, whereas DST has that open world survival crafting feel that i Adore.

hello world. i continue to exist. kendrick lamar's super bowl performance continues to be iconic. i had apple pie today, it was yummy. i should probably get some sleep.

listening to perverts (2025) by ethel cain again and i'm absolutely in awe at how she's created this sparse soundscape that's also evocative and chilling. i didn't know music could do that before this album. (i'm a lyrics person) i am also still in disbelief that it's 2025. time is bullshit.

only five (5) minutes into my first listen of perverts (2025) by ethel cain, and i'm already terrified

listened to good kid maad city for the first time today. front to back. i was shaking by the time the last notes faded out. it's an incredibly powerful album. don't know if i'll listen to it cover to cover ever again, but goddamn. kendrick really did that.

oh my gosh, guys, espresso is really catchy! ... i know *sighs* i'm sorry i'm late to the hype, it's just, when a thing is super popular, a contrarian gremlin in my brain goes "no fuck u" and refuses to see for itself. it's a curse.

backseat freestyle by kendrick lamar is weirdly cosy to listen to :3

i don't think i've ever put into words before how deeply and how thoroughly i've been scarred by our systems of learning. and i want to create a system that doesn't traumatise while it teaches.

i've been thinking a lot about what i want out of life, in terms of employment and career, and i've come to the conclusion that all my various ideas boil down to making it so that other people aren't hurt in the way that i was hurt. which, for starters, means waging war against the education system.

i gotta figure out why looping absolute lithops effect by carrie elkin ends up making me sad, because the lyrics are downright inspirational and sadness is not the experience i'm looking for when looping a song with those lyrics

sometimes i forget that kendrick's a lil bit annoying in the way that all men are, and then he says something like "don't put your life in these weird fellas' hands, baby" and i'm just like 'oop, there it is.'
