- one thing I struggle with as someone who—according to many—needs to take a break more often is: how do people motivate themselves to do anything after the break? I’ve been staring at nothing for two weeks and now I have to be functional again? it’s hard to even put on boots at the moment.
- I started an excel sheet to document brands using AI in ads as they pop on my feeds: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... disclaimer: this isn't to attack anyone, just gathering data tickles my brain the right way and people are free to do with this data whatever they please.

- happy national “let’s see if my winter coat still fits from last season” day to everyone who celebrates 🎉
- raw dogging the last metro pre-strike (I dropped my mask in a puddle of rain while running after the last bus)
- it was somehow deactivated for me by default.
- Does the trapped wasp grieve her sister’s lifeless body which had been moving like hers just a few minutes ago? Does she keep trying to escape after seeing her sister fail or does she see her future ahead of her now?

- I really want to figure out a safe way to go dancing because I don’t want to be the only masked person at a party but I also don’t want to be somewhere this crowded without a mask, you know? 🥲
- I love when authors make my point for me… my entire COMPS for the past 5 weeks has revolved around this: people for some reason do not view fish as animals and fishing in games falls outside the human-animal relationship dichotomy… and now, on page 82, this fine author gave it to me for free.
- idk when this shift happened but coffee shops nowadays are very keen on playing rave/techno music during the day like clubs.

- finalising my CGSA slides and all I have to say is #twinning
- I’m working on a new pair of earrings and for some reason I feel like they’re going to be tiny… do you think these would be too small once assembled?
- I desperately need to know why meta AI thinks that these are the most appropriate effect suggestions for this sentence…

- Mark Zuckerberg says Meta's chatbots will supplement your real friends: "The average American has fewer than 3 friends ... but has demand for ... 15 friends" (h/t x.com/romanhelmetg...)

- how does Ali Hazelwood come out with 2 novels a year while I’m still writing the same book since 2018 😮💨 (zero complaints though please keep them coming I love them)
- I don’t feel sad for NDP. I lost any feelings or acknowledgments I have to give them. I am happy though that apparently 466 people in my neighbourhood voted Green. I should find them and befriend them all.
