Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame someone is bound to get burned
Just because you’re burned doesn’t mean you’re gonna die
You gotta get up and try, try, try...

My rideshare driver is an early-60s-aged Greek man who does not have a similar voice to Pink, but it’s not stopping him from singing along to his radio without thinking about it. ^..^

Good news! My high heart rate and irritable pacing around today was adequate to meet my daily exercise goal, according to my wristwatch

Ugh, I can *watch* air quality degrading as wildfire smoke obscured the trees at closer and closer distances. :(

@KawaSeadrake it’s easier for a few people to make a spectacularly complicated machine than for six billion people to abandon their instinct towards divisiveness.

it’s amazing how many issues self-loathing can’t somehow solve, no matter how promising a strategy it looks like on the surface

Browsing a thrift store in Redmond for personal amusement, exercise, and getting out of the house; getting amused by recognizing familiar things in the office supply section that are obviously misappropriated from Microsoft’s supply cabinets.

@Jacel Yeah, I know. Just writing down a to-do list helps, even, because then I spend less time just worrying ineffectually.

Formally writing down today’s to-do list makes me abruptly realize why I don’t always find weekends particularly relaxing: this list is *not* shorter than lists for work days
