If you have achieved something, please remember to observe a mandatory period of basking in the warm glow of your achievement like a lizard on a stone, lest you teach your brain that effort is futile, actually, because it didn't get to enjoy its happy chemicals, so, naturally, nothing good ever comes of trying. (And no, avoiding punishment is not a reward!)

I recommend, like, 5% of basking time in relation to whatever time you invested into achieving the thing minimum. And if you can't make your own bask, friend-brought is fine (= tell your friends!).

scars in fiction: I got this trying to save my lover from an assassin- but tragically, I was too late. now I carry the mark of my failure with me always, and I can never forget~

scars in real life: so I was trying to open macaroni sauce with a paring knife

[tied-up-teacup]

[yoursminehourss]

happy first week of august to those who celebrate

Did anyone ever like attempt to document and compile the variations of Barney the dinosaur murder ballads across the elementary school system in the early 2000s. Like legit it has always fascinated me as a phenomena and I would love to know if there were like traceable regional variations or what.

[taraxippos]

Looking at the tags so far I’m kind of fascinated by how much the ‘I Love You’ parodies vary in their phrasing/murder weapons but the ‘Joy to the World’ ones are nearly identical

[karvina]

here is my collection of barney murder songs as they appeared in the notes and comments of this post at about 4 pm pacific 7/25, somewhat arbitrarily color coded to show similar memes. it appears that "baseball bat and 2x4" is the mode configuration but there is so much variation that that exact phrasing only makes up a small part of the set. if i knew more about statistical modeling i would turn this into some kind of data tree that shows which phrases are most likely to follow other phrases.

[forestrella]

I am so glad someone did this because I was thinking of doing it myself just recently!! though the data does seem to be missing the iconic “You get the matches, I’ll get the gas, let’s go blow up Barney’s ass”

Happy Lughnasadh!  As of this week (1Aug - 7Aug), we start teetering on the slope of the astronomical sine curve and are heading into the long downhill slide. The northern hemisphere is about to start losing daylight at precipitous rates.

If you have light-sensitive SAD, or any other sort of season-related mood disorders, NOW is the time to start

taking vitamin D, or

scaling back on commitments, or

preparing spoon-free options (freezing meals, picking out outfits, planning activities in advance) that can allow you to keep up self-care when things go bad, or

considering using the light box, or

getting serious about tracking your symptoms, or

setting up plans with friends and family about what kind of support they can give you and how to let them know you need it, or

talking to your doctor about meds, or

putting serious effort into your daily self-care routine to make it as habitual and subconscious as possible, or

scheduling nap times, or

any other form of self-care that you know or suspect will work for you. signed, your friendly neighborhood astrophysics nerd with a seasonal mood disorder

I wish I could favorite things a hundred times but instead I will do it once and then reblog it while crying.

The Wikipedia article for "wink" has four different images illustrating winking and they're all slightly oddball choices, they're all a bit wacky. Go check it out if that sounds like something you'd enjoy seeing. If I see anything else interesting I'll let you know.

eventually one has to come to terms with the fact that "conceive of myself as a person capable of tackling difficult things" is an achievable goal toward which one can take concrete steps whereas "have things be easy" is Not
