Oh Shop, lovely Shop, and Fediverse,...
I am feeling no good for myself at the moment - rotten thumb means almost all of my ways of coping are too painful to employ.
If you would, I ask you to ease my soul's ache by telling me something you enjoyed today? Or found surprising, or thought-provoking?
If I were a 5 year old, I'd be saying, "Tell me a story", sucking my thumb and holding my teddy bear (or security blankie) in a elbow stranglehold...
@OldBrushNewPaper Hmmm, sorry I can't find you anything more specific (I'm fighting the urge to plug my webcomic ;) ), but you sound like you might get some use out of my very favorite source of endless distractions...

I think that might be my single most favorite place on the Internet... except wherever my friends hang out, and zombo.com, of course!
@zebratron2084 That was a brilliant link, thank you! I've just found a rather funny bit of Chinese writing - I love clever language like this!

@OldBrushNewPaper Oh, the "shi shi shi shi" poem! Yeah, that's one of my favorites.
@zebratron2084 *beams* Excellent!
(Being a very fond practitioner of shodō - well, at least most days, because today I could not face having to go through a "just brushing" phase rather than just produce something wonderful - I'm always on the lookout for nice calligraphy fodder...)
@zebratron2084 Owning my like - your heroic urge to suppress plugging your webcomic.
