in the vein of grabbing what joy you can with both hands i made a pomegranate julep with too much bourbon and a ton of mint to try to smooth out all that bourbon and sat on the porch with the dog to listen to the rain on the tin roof and it was really nice

great news. u can put that luster dust stuff in candy if you want it to be very pretty and shiny. bad news. u will want to eat so much even tho mica is one of those "only eat a little bit" things. selfish news. i made it and i don't have to share so i'm the one who'll eat it so who's gonna sue me

very annoying that the only time i can actually get any kind of writing done on a wip is when i'm sick. sitting on my couch on a regular sunday? 15 words, edited 11 times. head feels like it's a pressure cooker and my brain is a pork roast? 3k before noon

anyways. rainbows pt 2 where I make everyone look how thin I pulled it this time. fucked up the math and put twice as much flavor as needed in it so the colors are a little pink but it still tastes good. still gotta get better at shaping but it's progress

the thing that's so exhausting i think is some people saying "there's time to stall and that might be enough to minimize damage and help people stay afloat for a while" and others saying "if you don't have your 3 acre homestead and 20 person signal network set up now you might as well call it quits"

you ever think "i'm gonna grab my tarot deck and pull a card to do some personal reflecting" then the card you pull says "thought i wouldn't bring that up didn't you. you stupid motherfucker" and you just have to deal with that because what could you say back to hurt the card's feelings. it's paper

i want to think about post-post-apocalypse dad jon being scared to read books to his kid again. i want this guy refusing to buy used kids' books and quarantining new ones before they come inside and reading them a hundred times alone bc he'd rather something happen to him than martin or the baby
