I've become obsessed with seasonality and cyclical time lately so I made a side blog about it. Go follow me at extollingtheeveryday:

TEMPORAL ALLEGIANCE

Seasonality, cyclical time, stasis and change. Located on ancestral Dakota land in Minnesota.

I do think the Hank Green AI thing makes it abundantly clear that if you have ADHD or any other mental illness and/or you are prone to addiction you need to avoid AI at all costs. This shit will rope you in, and if you have a mental illness that say, starves your brain of dopamine, you're gonna be extra susceptible to that. I won't use AI for a lot of reasons but one of the big ones is knowing how it would fuck with my ADHD and bipolar. Like yes, it's bad for the environment and giving money to rich scumbags and runs on plagarism, but even more than all that, it's straight up not safe at all and you really shouldn't use it if for no other reason than to protect yourself from whatever the fuck it might do to you.

It's so important to acknowledge the very real and sometimes truly horrible failings of the healthcare profession and the pharmaceutical industry while never ever ever letting them drive us into the arms of pseudoscientific bullshit. This is something I feel really strongly about.

Favorite Chuck Grassley Tweet?

This one is so good. Why did he have to phrase it so mysteriously

being a folk/trad music enjoyer is insane cause sometimes it'll be a Friday morning and you're trying to get work done but you're having too many feelings about the collapse of the northwest Atlantic cod fishery

[comedownstairsandsayhello]

this is about this song

[comedownstairsandsayhello]

cod fishing was an entire culture's way of life for five hundred years, and then one day in '92 it just ended. some new technology, a decade of two of reckless greed, and that was it. whole provinces depopulated and impoverished. everybody forced out to alberta to work in another doomed extractive industry. it just ended

Had a dream that Trump got really pissed off at "the woke Japanese" so he and Giuliani were standing on the Stone Arch Bridge in kimonos hurling expensive silks into the Mississippi

the popularization of the term "cultural appropriation" has done way more harm than good. it's had little or no effect on the behavior it was actually meant to critique, while driving a whole generation of anxious, well-intentioned people into useless moral quandaries over the most frivolous bullshit. your evangelical aunt is still having a Passover seder to feel closer to "Yeshua" while my OCD clients are agonizing over whether it's unethical to study a language.

Andrea Joyce Heimer (US-American, 1981) - A Bear Sighting Was The Most Coveted Sighting Of All, For Its Danger And Hulk, And For Its Rarity. One Night While We Slept In My Grandmother's Tin Can Trailer, A Bear Got Tangled In The Brush Pit For A Time And We Listened To It Grumble In The Dead Of Night. It Occurred To Me The Bear Was Having An Off Day. My Grandmother Slept With A Loaded Gun, But She Always Pointed Out It Was For The Two-Legged Animals, Not The Four-Legged Ones. I Used To Have A Dream Where Bears Clambered Through My Stables. Now, I Have Two Bears Who Come To My Yard. I Tell Them Things And They Go On Their Way, And I Go On Mine. These Are Just Some Thoughts I Have On Bears. (2026)

always having to relearn that the threshold for being important to others is lower than I think. always thinking certain relationships are only peripheral because we don't talk everyday or don't know everything about each other. always feeling guilty, selfish somehow, for not being someone's confidant, not sending each other years of long, soul-baring letters or something. always jarring to find out I matter and exist in others' minds anyway. always surprising how much one conversation or comment can mean. always confusing, how much and how little we have of each other, how transparent and mysterious everyone is. how bare our souls are anyway.
