Ah yes, it's movie release night.

I tell you: Mastodon is worth it for the CW feature alone, when it comes to discussing stuff that just came out that not everyone's had a chance to see yet!

Have a checkmark. ☑

I would simply be reduced to smoking shoes

I swear, the worst part of whatever I got is the random fatigue spells, because I'll feel 100% one minute and yearn for a nap the next.

Better today, anyways.

I am beginning to wonder if the rapid tests are weighed towards false negatives over false positives, given that the latter hurts the """economy"""

But, that's five down, all negative. Whatever I got, it's most likely not that (thank God.)

Still feel run down, sadly, but I feel a bit better? One moment of fatigue that lasted half an hour aside.

Did the Dems win?

It's a small thing, and this past two weeks it wouldn't even make the top ten. but I left my earbud and the earbud case at a bus stop tonight and I thought I'd scream. But I'm not.

I think I'm so overwhelmed that it just rates an "it figures."

Probably shouldn't name my custom Gallic religion in Civ 6 "Gauls Gone Wild," huh

Hey, I've tried to follow two people on mastodon.lol and I've gotten errors but only from this instance. Who do I talk to?

A friend of mine who's in his very early thirties talks, quite frequently, about how he'd like to end his life at forty. About how he thinks that existence is torture and that bringing someone into existence is a violation of their consent.

I think about how I'd have never discovered so many important things about myself if I'd only lived to forty. I'd never have met some of my best friends. I'd never have gotten into my favorite hobby. I'd never have seen one of my favorite movies. I'd never have transitioned and found out how much genuine joy there is in it.

But I cannot convince him. He's dead set on it. He flies into a rage when he sees pregnant people.

I'm glad to step up when someone is hurting. As the song lyric goes, love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night.

I just wish I was actually any good at it.

A while back, James Leask, on his then-podcast, said that he valued David Brothers being the kind of comics critic that didn't do much work, but meant all the work he did. That he didn't release a new article constantly, but when he did, people said "hey, David Brothers wrote something today." That his work was something that was infrequent, but always talked about. He spoke when he had something to say.

And thinking about it, that's what I aspire to. Can't make a living that way, but in terms of critical expression, I feel that I'm at my best when I have a lot to say about a weighty tome of work.

Anyways: I wrote about Kate Beaton's graphic memoir, DUCKS, today. https://shelfdust.com/2022/10/10/lost-in-away-notes-on-kate-beatons-ducks-two-years-in-the-oil-sands/
