I mean, your use of the em-dash makes me suspicious in this moment even about you posting.... I'm still irked that I had to lessen my use of semi-colons and em dashes because people think I'm AI.

Granted, as I am working on my final lap of grad school I am juggling my own assigned curriculum - but am already daydreaming about studying + learning new things of my choosing. This one feels particularly relevant: analogsocial.substack.com/p/critical-t...

Ecotone Era A belated questioning of autumnal greyness and asking those annual existential questions around 'letting go'.

She's tired, she's letting go, she's AUTUMN.

I am the target audience for this book, lol.

Don't threaten me with a good time! lol.

Just two aliens doing their best.

For folks in Canada or who have access otherwise, it is also on CBC Gem (with ads)! I haven't watched yet but the preview made me cry 🤣

💯 Totally! You're well on your way. I don't have bsky on my phone, TBH. And the bank app thing is funny, I'm such an elder millennial - I have to do that stuff on my laptop, haha.

For me, putting some of those apps 'behind the curtain' so they're not on the home screen(s) is enough for me to just forget they exist.

Always amusing to me that the music that was the soundtrack of me rebelling as a teenager is now the music I run to as an adult to stay healthy.

Let's Eat Cake Historical mourning snacks and the ingredients of comfort.

Two things I like talking about...Tiny Ghost strikes again! buttondown.com/tinyghost/ar...

The Rise of the Cozy Web Finding Digital Coziness in an Overstimulating Online World

This 2023 post (bobhutchins.medium.com/the-rise-of-...) from @bobhutchins.bsky.social has me contemplating about most of my internet activities: what contributes to creating this cozy space for myself and others and what is just noise to distract me?

I'm curious about this as well. I keep meaning to research things like ProtonMail, but it manages to get booted down the priority list every week.

Calibrating Blue Skies New beginnings to the world of the tiny ghost concerning re-introductions, creativity, and trash heaps.

Tiny Ghost re-emerges with 'Calibrating Blue Skies'. buttondown.com/tinyghost/ar...

Ohhh no. We're just two shooting stars in tandem!

...I have managed to slow it down though. GEMS ONLY.

Whoaaaa.

Wheeee! 🎉 Congrats ✨

Ahhhh!! AWESOME 🎉✨🔮

Oooh, so we have a cherry tree and would you believe that making candied cherries has NEVER occurred to me...

Time for a little book of poems!

I'm very into the "Christopher's Corner" of book recommendations!

Re-watching Oceans 8 and remembering my standard for friendship in my forties is “would I trust them on a heist?”

I needed this today.

Learning is great but structure of academia is not-so-great. Remember that grades are somewhat subjective a lot of the time & don't necessarily reflect the actual absorption of knowledge in your brain. I find it helpful to find grounding in what I'm actually looking to gain in knowledge.

Is there some sort of Corey VHS Foundation where people can donate their old VHS? Or send their VHS out to pasture in hopes it 'makes' the collection? (I'm thinking for when my VCR finally fades away...)

I'm using @obsidian.md to assist in organizing my notes, citations and sub-themes for my capstone & I haven't felt this much joy in setting up an app in a LOOOOONG time.

💭How do I write about Mad studies/culture in a way that both lands with readers who are unfamiliar but also doesn't water down elements of activism + collective liberation? (context: I have to write a 50+pg paper prior to graduation in 2026)

Academic hoop-jumping is exhausting.

I -love- when they have great descriptions/bio's! ✨🐶
