Keep Sol in Sol Invictus

A mostly seasonal and holiday blog with some cute animals, celebrities, jokes, and mayhem thrown in. Yes I queue my posts, no I am not a bot.

It's easy to compare ourselves to other people's visible successes! But underneath the surface, we realize it's not a comparison at all. We can all succeed in different ways. 🥕✨

Imagine Peter Potamus (and, perhaps, companions) being the guests of some native Polynesian chieftain in a beach house not unlike this:

And especially advantageous: Being just a short walk into the ocean for swimming or diving, as desired, as if being in regal company wasn't fascinating enow ...

I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.

I now refuse to buy things that I've seen too many ads for, out of spite.

A date on the rooftop

[screw-real-life-i-pick-fandoms]

A great way to end off one of the best weeks of my life. I am still trying to find the words of what the last few days have ment to me, and rest assured, they will be shared at some point.

But for now, my soul is so full of joy for the ships that were sailed, and the shipmates reunited.

Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.

It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.

The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.

EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.

robots require very frequent breaks! welding machines generally have it programmed in that they can’t run so long they melt themselves. ive overseen two different manufacturing robots now and each of them were fragile, finicky idiots that require constant maintenance and repair. they pause in between moves, in between jobs. you’re always keeping an eye on programming errors, on coolant levels, on heat. you’re always pulling bits of scrap out of joints, sweeping up debris, washing off nozzles and untangling hoses. and even then it snaps a chain and takes a whole morning’s vacation.

even robots need downtime.
