One thing I've found helpful about my mini vacay is that it has done wonders for my concentration. Is it perfect no, I'm ND it will never be perfect. But I feel less stressed just not being in a hostile work environment and not surrounded by noise and distractions at home. Kind wish it was longer.

Got to really play the max finale today since it's my day off and it kind of solidified the option I've had for a while that #PokemonGo really needs to up the amount of raid passes and max particles they give players each day

Transitioning from a corporate tool to a functioning "human" with desires and goals similar to those of their human counterparts, they work together, yet also differ. If you've got any recs for comics and books like that - especially queer books and comics - I'd love for you to send them my way.

// Spoilers: Citizen Sleeper

I really want a Citizen Sleeper work that explores the Gardener ending and how the AIs of this world's own humanity is shaped by their protocols and their adaptation to a post-corporate life...

My dream house will have a library/reading room with an attached basement book archive/library for all the books and series I don't want on display right now. I would also have to win the lotto to ever have a chance of building such a house, but a girl can have dreams, right?

*Note this is not about the latest trad pub cash grab into Dramoine, but rather I saw a sapphic comic on Kickstarter that just gave Zelda/Link/Urbosa queer fanfic vibes, and I kind of want to back it next payday.

Sometimes I can look at a book or comic and go "That's clearly your serial numbers filled off fanfiction, and I'm proud of you for doing that."

Started watching Delicious in Dungeon and it's making me so hungry!! I also like how each new recipe incorporates ingredients from the previous one, and they are constantly reusing and replenishing their supplies. Sometimes I find that food manga doesn't focus on this aspect of cooking.

New Review up!! Absolutely adored Citizen Sleeper by Jump Over the Age. Can't wait till the sequel goes on sale again because I just want to jump back into this world full of hope, resilance, and tragedy.

Sometimes you just watch a console showcase and know that some studio paid a hell of a lot of money to be in it - cause seriously, what was that campfire game in the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase?

To answer the dumb questions before they begin, yes, the books in the bundle are unofficial titles. However, continued fan interest in the franchise fuels continued interest in official merchandise. Which in turn puts money in JKR's pocket, money we know JKR is using to fund anti-trans bigotry.

*because they put a note, probably the first one I'd seen on an HB about the Trevor Project not being involved in the curation of the bundle that shows intent to join these two things together, knowing it may cause backlash to The Trevor Project. So they are aware of why many people boycott HP.

The major disconnect Humble Bundle had to have between their Queer audience and themself to select the Trevor Project as their fundraising charity for an HP bundle seems concerning. The fact that it was intentional* is downright malicious.

Crying right now cause Citizen Sleeper is such a heartbreaker. In tone, I'd liken it to 'The Knight and The Butcherbird' by Alix E. Harrow - in that it is about hope, resilience, and tragedy all going hand in hand to create this wonderfully bittersweet narrative.

A panel from Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me. Where the two love interests are dancing at prom under a shower of balloons and the main character notes that her girlfriend keeps breaking up with her during this traditionally romantic moment.

Brought myself a Instax Mini Evo and was playing around with what I could print on it. I just love the idea of having a card catalogue of little instax prints of favourite panels from comic books. I just wish the film was cheaper - or there was some third party alternatives.

I love when I get a nice fat tax return. Literally made my day since I've been feeling so shit lately.

I'm going to be honest I've been really struggling lately with consistently creating and posting content. Work just saps all my energy and the days off I do have I usually end up sleeping. I'm constantly burnt out. I love giving book recommendations but it been so mentally hard lately to post.

Daniel Cabot Puts Down Roots

Daniel Cabot Puts Down Roots

Daniel Cabot doesn’t really know what he’s doing with his life. He’s lost faith in himself, his future, and maybe the world. The only things he knows that he cares about are the garden in the empty lot next to his crumbling East Village apartment building and his best friend.

Alex Savchenko has always known that he’s…difficult. Prickly, maybe, if you’re feeling generous. But maybe that’s the kind of personality it takes to start a low-income pediatrics clinic in one of Manhattan’s most troubled neighborhoods. When Daniel stumbles into his life, Alex doesn’t expect him to stayβ€”most people don’t. And when Alex develops useless, inconvenient feelings for his new friend, he does what he’s always done, and tells himself that he isn’t feeling anything at all.

Daniel, though, has always worn his heart on his sleeve, and he isn’t stopping now.

Sometimes when things seem to be falling apart, it means there’s room for something incredible to grow.

The #PokemonGo Ghimmighoul event is so buggy every gold pokestop I go to just ends up changing to a normal one as soon as I get near. It's ridiculous.
