Be ungovernable, like birds who make nests OUT OF ANTI-BIRD SPIKES. A new study describes resourceful Dutch & Belgian corvids besting evil architecture by stealing metal anti-bird strips and using them like thorny twigs, to construct their homes.

Like thorns, the spikes may protect their nests from predators.

re: Therapy-adjacent thoughts, food mention 

I'm reminded of the "pie of responsibility" exercise that my therapist taught me:

In this exercise you consider a situation, task or event, and cut a circular "pie" into pieces based on the proportion of responsibility belonging to each involved party (or external forces in general). It is meant to help when you take too much responsibility for things out of your control.

Unfortunately in this exercise I am just as much of a glutton for pie as I am in real life.

Therapy-adjacent thoughts 

I was given a self-help book recently by a concerned person and I think so far I'm doing all of the activities incorrectly.

Work vent 

My plans for the workday changed unexpectedly, and even though I know what I *should* be doing instead, I cannot seem to convince my brain to switch off the original plan to focus on the new thing. ~∆~

I think I need to yeet my phone and all other distractions across the room.

Mourning doves have such dainty little feet!! Aaaa :blobhaj_heart:

Rant about stock android issue 

It really bothers me that when my phone is in "Mode sans distractions" (whatever it is in English), or even when that mode is temporarily paused, google search stops working 90% of the time.

I really need to block the majority of my phone's features for most of the day just so my silly little brain can get anything done (I shouldn't even be here rn), but I still need search! Especially when I'm stuck working away from my PC and can only really count on my phone for quick questions.

With the search bar being front and center on the stock android homescreen, I am left to wonder how this bug has been left like this for so long.

With images working again on awoo I can finally see icons to tell who everyone is again. Hello everybody! ovo

Today's gender is the sound of a dial-up modem.

In other news I managed to do my first artfight attack ever today and I'm a bit proud of that. ^v^
Still open to drawing some folks from here if y'all are participating.

ND venting I guess 

I wish I could just like change colors or spray a cloud of ink when I'm overwhelmed or having sensory overload, so I wouldn't have to struggle to figure out words when someone asks if I'm okay.

Idk who this dress is made for but it sure ain't me. If someone so much as breathes in my direction my whole ass will be on display π∆π

I absolutely love the three-hour delay during which those mental gears likely turned oh so slowly towards a hilariously horrified realization.
