This works, btw. I drank 4 bottles of water today before my first Coke Zero, and three more later.
I also have this one now. For Night Water.
I bought myself a red water bottle the size of a soda bottle and I’m going train myself to drink it first every time I want a Coke Zero to see if I can increase my water intake at home.

It was the darndest thing. After crying for two hours I realized that all of my Sims bars were in the red. I took a 30 minute shower and drank 36 oz of water and ate something and I turned back into a human person.
You would think 10 years of drugs and therapy would have taught me this.
Eventually the Insomnia debuff converts into a damage multiplier.

You are so bright that sometimes people are burned by it, but that’s not on you. Do not dim your light for the comfort of others. Sunlight is a disinfectant.

Tell the people you love that you love them every single day. It can be a 😘 in the group chat, it doesn’t have to be a big deal.

I try to pick older Scouts because they need more help, and I have a strong preference for Samoas over Caramel deLites, so those are my criteria.
I’m getting my cookies from Khoi.

My message of the afternoon to the group chat:
“I found the 2026 trans Girl Scouts list. Got a high schooler in his last/senior year of Scouts and his first year presenting as male and it’s kicking his ass in in-person sales.
Who wants cookies?”
I propose, in the face of the increasing inaccuracy of predictive text, we refer to the errors of autocorrect as “auto incorrect.”

I’ll ask around!
My usual resource for these things was a 1500+ member Discord server with members worldwide, but it closed at the end of the year and my new ones are much smaller.
One of the many appealing things is that brain twitch of “why does that say soebra” to “it says zebra actually” to “but zou (ぞう) means elephant…” and you get to go on that journey a thousand times in your own head and laugh about it like one of those window peeping Sickos.

I’d be happy to keep looking with you!
I hate that teachers can’t take the time to work one on one with students on things like that, and that parents can’t really take time to do it with their kids either.
🤔 Many non-Latin alphabets are written right to left. Maybe that’s a lead to explore!
See my response to Kris above! ☺️

I checked a couple of resources: this one looks promising? You might also consider joining a stationery or fountain pen enthusiast forum, subreddit, or Discord to get tips from actual lefties (I’m not) who will be very excited to welcome you to the hobby.

The time will pass anyway. Might as well give it a try. 💕
