unfortunately suggesting AHAB stands for "Assigned Hating Asshole Balaenocetes" falls apart because Moby Dick was an odontocete

#drawings from Monday through yesterday. Listening to the Raiders of the Lost Ark soundtrack and All Them Witches.

A lot of ADHD information online seems filtered through “my child behaves in a way that inconveniences me” rather than “my child’s behavior doesn’t seem typical and I wish to protect them.” Am I seeing this through my own biases or is that a legit issue?

the cognitive dissonance of all the Americans going "huh huh huh, he fucked the couch. Cool" vs all the Canadians mourning the loss of a beautiful natural place

why do BIRDS suddenly APPEAR
every TIME you are NEAR
just like ME
they long to BE
close to you

I must be pure and true
I must contain my views
There must be something else
There must be something good
far away, far away from here
far away, far away from here
far away, far away from here

and I'll be HERE for good.

Man I HATE anti vape ads. They’re the updated version of those “tobacco is whacko when you’re a teen” ads I also hated. So let’s see… we’re in a huge extinction event, the EPA’s ability to curb carcinogens has just been limited, wages are stagnating while rents increase, we got Nazis, hate crimes and unaccountable police, etc etc and what REALLY matters is vaping. Riiiiight.

Last night’s pork with preserved vegetables (the recipe I had gives “mei cai kou rou” as original). I cheated, using a mix of jarred stuff including radish, and didn’t steam it; but it basically came out good! CW food photo.

ILLINOIS! LAND OF THE LINCOLN BECAUSE OF THE LOGS!

while the pork belly and the rice simmer separately, since my housemate hasn't yet asked me to move heavy stuff, I'm going through my inbox for the first time in uhhhh

um

yeah

So the “OH YEAH IN A GROOVE IN A GROOVE IN A GROOVE” is an ADHD thing, so is “OH YEAH IN A GROOVE oh fuck why is the universe a bleak misery hey I haven’t eaten anything today,” so is “OH YEAH IN A GROOVE hey FUCK you for dragging me away from something interesting which doesn’t overwhelm me so I can instead do YOUR Officially Important and yet uncompelling Chore because YOU are better than me and have ordered it, selbstverständlich Herr Oberst!”

Hmm. Seriously the signs were all over.

Here’s where we were ultimately headed Saturday, the ice caves. A waterfall erodes snow caught in this big sheet caught in the mountains’ shadow and the combined water runs out through a floodplain covered at the depths of winter. Erosion in the cave walls essentially reflects the bigger caves!

More forest/hike photos including some really vivid fungus!

I thought after I accepted that it wasn’t my many personal failings which deserved everything from childhood I’d be okay. But now I keep hitting self esteem stuff about how I’ve failed, how I’ll never get some things I really want while the “good people” get to have those, and I feel unwanted and worthless, like I’ve never done therapy, meditation or psychedelics.

Oh yeah it’s GNOME. Imagine if you had instrumentals easily better than The Sword, and then whatever lyrics were just random gunk that dropped out of your brain in a D&D/beer/weed fueled haze SO NATURALLY they are very much my groove.

ooh, you touched my TRALALA™️white pine bookshelves

oooh, my DINGDINGDONG™️kitchen table with blue, red or white veneer finish

I held the elevator and pressed the floor for my neighbors and got a "shukraan" in response, and I'm vaguely reassured that I pass for lighter-skinned middle eastern, if that's what's going on.
