oops. didn't eat lunch. very tired & hungry & now it's dinnertime (ish).. save me.. leftover brownies.. leftover brownies save me.. so I can make some actual dinner
eurghhh nothing sounds good. I was going to make pasta but 1. the one (1) cooking pot I own is in the fridge. probably with something in it, & 2. I don't wanna deal with that or cook pasta or eat pasta. apparently. :/

so something cool happened while I was singing on my drive home today (in just the last few minutes of the drive so I didn't get to practice it much😭💀). Anyway, the thing is that for a long time now I've been able to belt pretty well if I'm imitating someone else, but something would go badly wrong if I wasn't trying to copy someone (this is how I temporarily fucked up my voice last summer) so I've been gradually trying to figure out how to belt without copying people by just varying little things while still mostly copying them. Well today I had been doing that & it had drifted far enough that it didn't sound like anyone I've ever heard before, & it wasn't fucking up my voice. & it sounded good? from what I could tell? I really wanna practice it more so I can eventually record it & see what it really sounds like 😭 because if it sounded how I think it did.. oo I'm excited to play with that.

the way the simple line "the memory hurts, but does me no harm" can encompass all of your complicated feelings towards your past
oooooh I think playing rhythm games might very well work wonders on my ability to pay attention to & follow the beat of music
I downloaded a demo version of one to see if I like playing it at all & I played all of the demo in one sitting 😭. can't decide whether to just buy this one or if I should see if I can play demos of any others first... I don't know. it's too late at night to decide now so it'll have to wait til tomorrow either way
wow ok so just from playing the demo of this one rhythm game last night it's already doing things to my perception of music. the beat stands out to me now? listening to (& singing along with) Someone New in the car & the moment it started I was like wait what?!? because apparently I'd never clearly heard the percussion in that song before 😭😭😭 because I was too focused on just the singing. it's so strange how quick the brain can pick up new things via play/positive reinforcement.
& that's another thing too. I think this rhythm game & maybe video games in general are great for learning things & for getting over being frozen up with perfectionism. because in this game any attempt to hit a note is scored better than skipping it completely, & imprecise attempts are just... scored lower than more precise hits. like ok the point of the game is doing it as perfectly as you can, but it doesn't exactly punish mistakes. you can just play the level again & it even has practice mode & like.. a mode where it just lets you watch the rhythm pattern so you can learn what's coming? the whole thing is designed to make you Get Good at it. it doesn't start with the assumption that you're already good & it doesn't just go lmao sucks to suck! like so many things including some other types of video games kind of seem to do... it's interesting to me tbh because really it's the quantity over quality philosophy of skill practice. just learning some basics so you know you're not doing something egregiously fucked up & then doing it over & over again until you get good, rather than trying to learn how to do it perfectly before you even attempt to do it 😭
euuhghh too much coffee & too much 'I don't want to' today. sitting here with my phone for like an hour at least, still not dressed after taking a shower :/
A Word on Statistics
by Wisława Szymborska tr. Joanna Trzeciak
Out of every hundred people
those who always know better: fifty-two.
Unsure of every step: almost all the rest.
Ready to help, if it doesn't take long: forty-nine.
Always good, because they cannot be otherwise: four — well, maybe five.
Able to admire without envy: eighteen.
Led to error by youth (which passes): sixty, plus or minus.
Those not to be messed with: forty and four.
Living in constant fear of someone or something: seventy-seven.
Capable of happiness: twenty-some-odd at most.
Harmless alone, turning savage in crowds: more than half, for sure.
Cruel when forced by circumstances: it's better not to know, not even approximately.
Wise in hindsight: not many more than wise in foresight.
Getting nothing out of life except things: thirty (though I would like to be wrong).
Doubled over in pain and without a flashlight in the dark: eighty-three, sooner or later.
Those who are just: quite a few at thirty-five.
But if it takes effort to understand: three.
Worthy of empathy: ninety-nine.
Mortal: one hundred out of one hundred — a figure that has never varied yet.
just saw a 'comments' tab on someones blog you know where the following and likes tabs would be if enabled and it was just showing all the replies theyve made on peoples posts. this is fascinating when did this feature come out
EMERGENCY - ITS AUTO ENABLED!
if you've made replies on posts there is now a tab on your blog showing every post youve replied to and your reply.
if this is not what you want, either go to your blog and click comments and disable it from there or just go to your individual blogs setting pages. just change it from blue to grey if you dont want everyone to see your replies AND the post you're replying to
PLEASE BE ADVISED that it is set to disabled for blogs that have not made any replies but it will turn ON if you reply with that blog in the future.! i just tested it with my main, which was greyed out but it turned on the moment i left a test reply
figured i'd get the word out bc i have not seen a single mention of this and i'm sure there are plenty of people who maybe comment on things they don't want on display for everyone to see on their blog lol. you can still look at your replies with it toggled off just no one else can, like locking the following and likes list
I believe it's only auto-enabled if you were already sharing your likes. If you had like sharing turned off, reply sharing should (should) also be turned off.
Probably best to still check, though.
having sourdough toast for breakfast & discovered that I've somehow eaten almost two entire loaves of sourdough bread in a week
pics I took yesterday & promptly forgot about
what was this dogwood's deal? I don't remember if it usually blooms that densely or not but it seemed as if it had at least double as many flowers as usual
foxgloves... just occurred to me they're often about as tall as I am 😭
med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times
"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you
I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.
This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.
I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.
i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.
every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.
not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.
"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!

No more waiting, no more debating, go get your hrt. "I don't know if I'm really trans!" You are. Now go. "I'm scared!" We all were. Now go. "There's a long wait to be seen!" Go get your name on the list then. DIY if you need. "What if my friends don't accept me?" They weren't really your friends. Now go. "What if my spouse doesn't accept me?" Get a divorce. Now go. You do not need to continue to live in agony and depression to pretend to be someone else. Go get your hrt.
i love writing out numbers and then putting them in parentheses like "one (1)" even when i dont need to i think its funny
the sky looked stunning on my drive home. didn't get any photos because I was driving but imagine
fluffy clouds up high, all gold & peach colors with the sunset
clear sky that somehow seems both blue and yellow at once
dark thick clouds low on the horizon, so dark they're sort of blue. but the tops of them & entire edges of some separate bits are lit from behind by the last beams of the sun setting, glowing gold & brighter than any other part of the sky. as if the clouds were made of sunlight, not just catching the sun's light
