This design is so good and you captured it perfectly! So creepy-beautiful 😁

I love learning new-to-me words.

Today it was "clement" ("mild"), as in "clement weather" vs. "inclement weather".

I'd just... never considered the etymology of "inclement weather" I guess haha. Could've extrapolated the existence of "clement" from that, but... nope!

Had another dream I was back in high school. All art classes, fortunately haha. But as usual I couldn't remember my schedule so I didn't know which classes to go to after the first ones ended. So I ended up stressed out anyway.

But in one class I was trying a new craft I've been thinking about... 🤔

No, I've seen the name around but I actually know nothing about it!

I know the feeling! I did a bunch of side stuff and collecting before I went for the ending, but eventually the itch caught up to me and I just HAD to know what happened next. 😅 It's so good!

Welp. That's the ending of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

O u c h.

But what an incredible game. One of my favorites of all time for sure!

...for a game named after the artistic contrast between light and shadow, that ending sure had a LOT of shades of grey...

My heart. 😭

*I've heard, haha

No, not yet, but I've it's great so it's on my list!

Yessss I love the Knives Out movies so much!! Excited as heck for this

And forget plushies, I need a giant Esquie bean bag chair.

Wait, I can sew, I could just make a cover for one and... oh no.

So Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is... wow. I don't think I've felt so fully enthralled by a game since my first RPG (Final Fantasy IX back in 2000). I'm near the end (just hunting collectibles in act 3) so still avoiding most content online, but... yeah. I'm so in love.

The ascii art at the top of internet video game tutorials were actually talismans holding the universe together

Today— May 10 —marks the anniversary of the destruction of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, a pioneering clinic and library of human sexuality. Nazis looted and publicly burned its research, records and artifacts to bury evidence of trans/queer existence.

The parallels today are unmistakable.

I'm so sorry, Sabrina ❤️

I have a countdown widget on my phone. I love that little thing. But I look forward to the day I can use it for non-medical events. One day my health will be stable. I know I shouldn't wait to live until that day comes, but man. Right now it feels really hard.

So much happening, and my health has me feeling like I'm frozen in time while the world spins around me. I've been here before and I've always made it through, but man it sucks while I'm in the middle of it. In 10 days things should be helped somewhat, but that feels so far away.

I still think about last year's solar eclipse pretty regularly. I'm so glad I went to see it in totality, and I hope I get to see another in my lifetime somehow. It was absolutely breathtaking. Easily the most beautiful natural phenomenon I've ever seen.

This is wicked cool and SO well done!!

YouTube video by Luthval O Passi Sparsy - Grégoire Brayssing - Renaissance guitar

Here's one of my favorite musical YouTubers playing the song I mentioned. If I only ever master one piece, I hope it's this one.

Trying to ignore the world for a bit and focus on my art. Working on some renaissance guitar pieces. Pleased to (re)discover that some time away somehow makes the harder pieces a tiny bit easier. "O Passy Sparsy", I'll master you one day.

How very dare!

I'll probably nap later anyway

Spent a couple days in the hospital for a minor emergency (mostly just for observation since they couldn't schedule what I needed right away, all is well now) and now my sleep schedule is a liiiiittle messed up. It's 7:30am, why am I wide awake?? I woke up so much last night! Bleh, oh well lol

No lande hath evir had but one language. Even the monolingual do not lyve wyth just one tongue. Historye ys polyglot, culture ys a glorious babel of invention, and lyfe itself ys made out of translaciouns.

That looks amazing, and I love the color!

I've been a playtester for Tiny Glade since well before its release, and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes cozy, stress-free building (no resource management!). The developers are frequently adding new features, so what started as a great game has become even more wonderful!

Women's Day Sale Browse and discover games: from demos of hot upcoming games to all-time fan favorites heavily discounted.

Very cool to see Steam holding a Women's Day sale featuring games "created by teams led by women and other gender-marginalized developers". Two of my recent favorites, Dredge and Tiny Glade, are in there, at 50% and 15% off respectively. I'll be digging for more new favorites to add to my library!

Nazis Burned Trans Books To Usher In Fascism: Now Trump Does The Same Transgender people have often been a canary in the coalmines of Democracy.

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism.

Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records.

This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity.

Made the mistake of attempting to eat a tuna sandwich within range of Cheddar, my adorable orange cat with knives for feet, and now I am bleeding a little.

But the sandwich was delicious, so I'll probably make this mistake many more times in the future.
