Oh shit you’re on to me.

In case anyone wants cheap canvases, look for them at thrift stores. I just gesso over whatever’s on them.

Eurovision! My family throws a party for it every year. Since it’s held in Switzerland this year, we’re doing Swiss food. We’ll have games and prizes and drinks.

It’s much more thriller than horror.

Are you anywhere near VA? I need yo to cook me some okra so I can find out what it’s like not slimy.

I have shapely legs and a nice face. I appreciate the lightness of my body hair. I’ve got a nice strong grip; my brother always gets me to open jars.

Fun Fact: we are only just learning how connected the brain and Immune system are. We’re not sure which causal direction the inflamation/depression connection runs.

A pet. If you’re not up for living with one, find a shelter that accepts volunteers. They need people to walk/cuddle/play with the dogs and cats.

Thanks, I had no idea.

I have genetically high cholesterol that can’t be controlled with diet. I’ve been on and off statins over the years, and am currently on one along with Zetia. I have never experienced ill effects from it. No one in my family has either.

I appreciate you.

Thank you. I’m not sure yet which kind of service it will be. I hope it’s the latter because my entire wardrobe is built on patterns and loudness.

Thank you. I’m just crying lightly here and there, which is healthy. We were friends when I was a teen, but I haven’t seen him for several years now, and I wish I’d been able to. I don’t expect any tension.

Love it when i find a new community to subscribe to.

Just watched Glitch, a three-season Australian Netflix show about a handful of people who mysteriously return from the dead. It stars dollar-store Ryan Reynolds, Timu Chris Evans, Wish Simon Pegg, and so-close Glenn Close.

Season 1 felt like Lost. There were all these sciency/supernaturalish mysteries, and it really seemed like either side could be the bad guys. I lost track of exactly when it went off the rails, but by season 3, it was clear they had an end point they needed to get to without bothering to wrap up all the mysteries, and they just recycled the same actions every episode. Disappointing, do not recommend unless you just want something on in the background.

Stitch is Mephisto, confirmed.

If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first Invent the universe. - Carl Sagan, sounding like Douglas Adams.

The Immune Mind by Dr Marty Lymon, about how the nervous system and Immune system work in concert to keep us healthy.

What Moves the Dead by T Kingfisher. Just started, so no opinion yet, but I loved The Hollow Places.

When Alex Easton, a retired soldier, receives word that their childhood friend Madeline Usher is dying, they race to the ancestral home of the Ushers in the remote countryside of Ruritania. What they find there is a nightmare of fungal growths and possessed wildlife, surrounding a dark, pulsing lake. Madeline sleepwalks and speaks in strange voices at night, and her brother Roderick is consumed with a mysterious malady of the nerves. Aided by a redoubtable British mycologist and a baffled American doctor, Alex must unravel the secret of the House of Usher before it consumes them all.

And I needed a physical book to read on the beach, so I’ve also just started All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld, and I’m really impressed by the prose so far.

Jake Whyte is living on her own in an old farmhouse on a craggy British island, a place of ceaseless rains and battering winds. Her disobedient collie, Dog, and a flock of sheep are her sole companions, which is how she wanted it to be. But every few nights something—or someone—picks off one of the sheep and sets off a new deep pulse of terror. There are foxes in the woods, a strange boy and a strange man, rumors of an obscure, formidable beast. But there is also Jake’s past—hidden thousands of miles away and years ago, held in the silences about her family and the scars that stripe her back—a past that threatens to break into the present.

I’m currently reading The Immune Mind by Dr Marty Lyman. It discusses how the immune system and nervous system work in concert to keep us healthy.

This reads like something meant to scramble AI language learning.
