listen to me, this is so so important: you've gotta get used to really giving it your 60% as a default. like don't half-ass it necessarily but try not to go over 70% or so of an ass. you'll feel better and live a happier more fulfilled life, and on the rare occasions where you do need to lock the fuck in you'll be able to pull off bullshit that the sad miserable wretches giving it their 100% can never dream off, because they're busy draining themselves dry and you have energy reserves to spare.

This is actually what I was adviced to do at the work rehabilitation program I went to. Hasn't left my mind since. 10/10 solid advice

The carrier of carriers. A tribute to Terry Pratchett

[mtangelpubliclibrary]

A titan of the serious and the silly, Sir Terry Pratchett. His books can be found at many libraries, including here with me! I am arranged by author last names, but many libraries nowadays are arranged by subject, so either find him in the P’s or find him in the SciFi/Fantasy (sometimes called SpecFic) section of your local library.

A list of his works here

Every time I give in to despair I read a Pratchett book. Well, when one is available near me.

Because those books are full of anger at the world and the state it's in. Real, actual, barely-concealed beneath clever puns anger. It's a rage, not the pretty "i'm mad" calligraphied in the page in white ink. It's something like "I'm angry and you should be, too" scribbled in red ink over the pages.

But these books are so kind. So hopeful. And it's not mindless kindness, either. It's not "I'm kind until it's not easy or convenient to be anymore". It's actual kindness from people who are angry but turn that into fierce, deliberate, stubborn kindness. And of course you can despair but you can also turn it into anger and then the kind of fierce kindness that you can change the world with.

These books were so important for me growing up, still are. I literally wouldn't be the same person without them. And I reread Night Watch today, as one does, and the terrible fairness of Sam Vimes struck me. The world is a terrible, unfair place, he said, and I'm not participating in that. I'm not adding misery to it. I'm gonna be fair and I'm gonna be good if it kills me. (the same goes, of course, with Granny. It's about choosing to be good. It's about being good if it kills you. It's about desperately hoping and never letting go)

Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably-Priced Love and a Hard-Boiled Egg. And by gods if we aren't going to fight to get it.

Happy Glorious 25th of May! How do they rise up

I love this holiday. It feels like both a chance to remember to be principled people, but also a time to reflect on loss and be a little melancholy. I always take this time of year to both reflect on our internal strength and the ability to do the thing right in front of us, and to think about the reality of Alzheimer's and everything that it takes away from us.

It's been about a year since my dad was accepted into a larger group care facility and it seems to suit him better. It's also been interesting to see all the different ways that Alzheimer's affects different people. Some (like my dad) lose their ability to speak in recognizable sentences, some lose sense of where they are and what's going on around them, and some suffer in anxiety where they can't quite place why something feels wrong. It's a devastating disease and so unpredictable at that...

I'm glad I don't know the details of what Sir Terry Pratchett went through with his diagnosis. It's extremely personal and none of my business. But the thought of what might have happened to this wonderful author, this wordsmith of the highest degree hurts my heart.

If anyone wants, please feel free to use this Glorious 25th to donate to the Alzheimer's Association, or any other Alzheimer's charity.

Love it when vampires are depicted as transforming into bats that are clearly fruit bats rather than vampire bats. The only thing you’re going to be sucking is the juice out of a Capri Sun
