A Megan of Many Interests

Rather self explanatory, really. I'm Megan, and I have many interests.

puttering around the house is an underrated form a self-care. make some tea or coffee. put on a podcast. sort the mail. tidy some pillows and fold some blankets. start the laundry. thaw some soup. just casually wander around aimlessly doing little things to make your space and life a little nicer. who cares if you get distracted or only do a little. you aren't being productive. you're puttering.

My life has gotten measurably better since I reframed the period from 3-4 pm as “puttering hour”. No it’s not me avoiding work or failing to force myself to concentrate during my mid afternoon slump. It’s puttering hour.

“Athough written many years ago, Lady Chatterley’s Lover has just been reissued by Grove Press, and this fictional account of the day-by-day life of an English gamekeeper is still of considerable interest to outdoor-minded readers, as it contains many passages on pheasant-raising, the apprehending of poachers, ways to control vermin, and other chores and duties of the professional gamekeeper. Unfortunately, one is obliged to wade through many pages of extraneous material in order to discover and savour these sidelights on the management of a Midland shooting estate, and in this reviewer’s opinion this book cannot take the place of J. R. Miller's Practical Gamekeeping.”

- Ed Zern providing probably the greatest review of Lady Chatterley ever written (Field & Stream magazine, 1959).

This makes so much sense

This accurately displays 'running on fumes' as well. Like, once you get to, say, 5% in your tank. Still 100% of your effort. This is such an amazing visual. Even knowing that my chronic pain impacts what I can do day vs. day, seeing this visual just really helps.

Sometimes the rats in my brain come together and start yelling “YEARNING” and in trying to appease them I ask “FOR WHAT” but they are too small so all they can say is “YEARNING” which is a very big word for such a tiny creature, even collectively

I loved this visual so much I had to doodle it.

There is one very important thing I need people without major dietary restrictions to understand: the distress caused by allergies, celiac disease, and other food restrictions is largely not about the food.

Do I miss some foods I can't eat anymore without getting sick? Sure, but that's not what really bothers me. What bothers me is being excluded from a huge portion of human social life of which food is a crucial component. What bothers me is the stress and social stigma of trying to figure out what I can safely eat. What bothers me is the amount of extra work and cost that is required of me to identify, obtain, and prepare safe foods. What bothers me is people treating my needs like a nuisance, as though I chose to be like this - as though their brief inconvenience to check an ingredients list is unreasonable, when I deal with this every day of my life forever.

I don't miss the food that much. I miss not having to worry about what I eat. I miss freedom. I miss when trying new foods and new restaurants was fun instead of a minefield. I miss not having to plan my entire life around the need for safe foods.

Food is such a basic human need, and a lot of people don't really need to think about it. When your danger foods can be anywhere and everywhere, suddenly your entire life revolves around avoiding them, and it massively sucks. You get used to it and it's not a big deal most of the time, but then you go to a new restaurant, or your office has a potluck, or you've been invited to a party and suddenly it feels just as miserable and exhausting as it ever has.

just witnessed something devastating

guy on the subway with one ear pierced, little gold hoop. other guy on the subway very quickly and subtly googling "which one is the gay ear". it is not the gay ear. visible disappointment on his face as he puts his phone away.

Good news everyone somehow this is also a metaphor for Covid

9 Very Specific Questions With the Director of ‘One Night Only,’ aka the Purge but for Sex Movie

9 Very Specific Questions With the Director of ‘One Night Only,’ aka the Purge but for Sex Movie

Choose your fucking fighter from this interview

if you travel to the US from a foreign country you have to get the sex tracker put in your arm

You have to stay married for a year and a day before you get divorced

If you get caught having sex outside of fuck day you get a fine, apparently, and if you do it enough times then you get jail time.

The answer on why the Supreme Court hasn't stepped in doesn't make sense to me so I'm just gonna transcribe the direct answer: "Well, clearly they have not, because it was just passed," Gluck said. "The Supreme Court very rarely gets involved in legislation. There used to be three branches of government in the United States, until your president came around. But there's three branches of government. So it's hard for them to overturn legislation, but possible. But I think they're gonna have to wait till the politics shifts." (no I don't know what "your president" means, the director is American.)

Again THIS IS A METAPHOR FOR COVID: "I wanted to set up a situation that was three years ago and see how people deal with life now," Gluck said. "My analogy has always been COVID. If you drop in an alien in 2022, there's signs everywhere. Some people don't wanna do this. Some people wanna wear this. Did people fight it? People didn't fight it? In 2022, you don't really know the answer. But people have to move on with their lives, right? Three years earlier some shit did go down, but now it's three years, and humans have to move on with their lives, whether they like it or not."

A plot point in this movie is that all of the condoms are sold out and the leads can't get them anywhere and the director compares this to forgetting your mask in 2021.
