* 16yo would like to add that this is actually a measure of Hipness With The Tumblr Youths and may not apply to Youths in general

Qualifying exam from 16yo in being Hip With The Youths: what is the difference being someone being woobified and a sad little meow meow? Proud to say my considered answer based on onomatopoeia garnered me a half point out of two I am officially 25% Hip With The Youths 😎

OK here we go, another 2k to freedom I guess if nothing else this has been a clarifying exercise πŸ’€ Frustratingly, if it weren't for the pace required, this would actually be super fun

A small extra birthday present for me was The Poetry Pharmacy, collected by William Sieghart. It’s a lovely little book. Much recommended. Here’s β€˜The Trees’, by Philip Larkin

Tea: the secret to immortality?

*me looking at the goals I set myself for the year, six weeks in* what is this? what the fuck? what false mathematics is this? what infernal calculus of productivity???

Everything is bullshit BUT I did snap this absolutely iconic picture of the chaos dog with a catnip mouse

Alas for the laundry-induced fading of my favourite @voidmerchstore.bsky.social shirt! Though I suppose the tattered lettering adds a certain evocative touch πŸ’€

UGH I am having the worst time getting my head together today despite having Things To Do and now Chapters has delivered the fascinating book of essays I've been looking forward to The world hath murdered focus, and therefore Amelinda shall focus no more

When I first got back to writing, I found a pint of cider or glass of wine very useful to a) bribe myself to get going b) code the accompanying work as "fun" vs "drudgery" c) shut up my inner editor BUT wld get tired/hungover as effect wore off, and a 2nd one risked getting too muddled to think ...

This is WILD

HEARTBREAKING: Person with 20+ unfinished projects has a new idea for a project.

Almost finished Why Does He Do That? (which is a relief tbh, I cld have picked a better time to read a book about domestic abuse πŸ’€) Curious abt his grim assessment of the courts (fam/criminal) and legal system...this was written in like 2003, hopefully things have improved in 20 yrs? A bit??
