No thank you to telling me I look pretty. YES THANK YOU to telling me I look like a male character you like because of a hat I’m wearing. 🥰

This month starts my library’s summer reading program which I signed up for and I picked up my monthly book box today but I just realized… when the heck am I going to read when I have all this volleyball to watch?? 😳

First VNL (Volleyball Nations League) game down, women’s USA vs Ukraine! There are three games I wanted to watch today but I can only fit in one. Hopefully I’ll watch the others later this week. I am out of practice with catching all the action so sometimes I feel like I’m not really watching. But I just need to get back in the zone. As I’ve said, I have to concentrate really hard to follow every move and get used to it.

It’s cool to see players from the regular seasons also play in VNL together so I’m still sad that I barely watched anything this past season. But I still recognize some people.

Ukraine is new to the VNL this year so it was neat to watch their first game.

Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.

It's end of May, yall know what that means

[celestialbirds]

I'm watching the weather and climate stream and right now there is a fascinating presentation about how we can update maps to show not just property where flooding happens but also where people, shelters, etc are located and how flooding/storms will impact them so that we can predict and prepare better. The scientist is also talking about climate refugees. And ableism! It's just so refreshing to see this in a presentation. Sometimes it can be problematic when science is too much about science and not enough about people.

VNL starts this week. I added all the games to my calendar and I’m excited to see the Women’s Brazil and Japan teams again. But I’m also worried that I’ll get overwhelmed and have no time to watch again.

[celestialbirds]

Uugghhh I feel so pathetic.

There was a glacier research presentation on the weather and climate livestream this morning and people in the chat were very excited so it’s not just me! These streams and presentations are getting people excited about stuff like glaciers and Argo floats.

I think I just love so much about the world and animals and people in it and picking just one thing as a career is too hard. Or I get too scared to try something I have a big interest in because of anxiety and low self-esteem. So instead I just ended up taking on admin assistant jobs to do work that other people don’t give enough of a shit about but my anxiety does. And that wears me down because I don’t like being the only one who cares.

Anyway, I love watching artists and scientists etc talk about their careers and work that they do. The things they care about and share with excited viewers. I love that live streaming makes this more accessible.
