all movies are for children because the moving image is inherently juvenile. to be entertained by it even moreso

I'm having to ditch so many YouTubers I liked for genAI sponsorships -_-

Spinning right from the bunny. He was off course naturally shedding, and was perfectly content to let me take the fiber from him.

i'm helping out at a creative writing workshop for uhhh i think 10-12s? 10-14s? idk. but that age range. and anyways

a) i forgot how fun this is

b) it's really hard not to like, re-write for them and stick to just "hey add descriptions here, change this grammar, really cool ideas!" bc i'm an adult and not trying to talk over/railroad these kids, but i'm just so excited for their ideas!!!

c) little boys write cool stuff like "what if we went to mars but it sucked so we left, but left behind all our technology and the technology rose up and created its own society and then went to war with us for abandoning them? what if transformers had 100x the war crimes? what if the earth blew up. what if we were the robots all along?"

d) little girls out here writing like "aunt melanie's skin was sloughing off the bones as her beloved dogs tore her apart, turning on her in blind animal instinct. the second she stopped providing food, she became food." and a lot of body horror and dark themes about group pacts and betrayals and ritualistic murder/sacrifices. like a lot

me, turning to the teacher who is also doing this: hey so, i'm personally really cool with the tone and direction these girls take, but is any of this? how you say... a red flag?

teacher: little girls have really rich inner lives to combat the way they're puppeted by society in real life. they'll learn to censor it out in a couple years, but it doesn't go away.

me, who was also a weird little girl who phased in and out of weirdness depending on social settings: nice.

I guess it's probably a massive fucking oversight that I've never been checked for tick-borne disease as someone who spent as much time outside in tick country tromping around the bushes as I did before becoming chronically ill.

I don't think any can explain PEM so if I have/had any it would likely be that it triggered ME/CFS, not that a tick-borne illness itself could explain everything or that I could be returned to full health by treating any I hypothetically could have.

Just odd that nobody has thought to check. Maybe I haven't pressured enough to my doctors that I wasn't a sedentary indoors person pre-illness. I hiked and camped and mountain biked, I had just finished college for fisheries and wildlife management and so had been doing plenty of field work, AND was fresh off a season of tree planting in a region where the more southern cut blocks we planted were full of deer ticks. Why haven't I been tested for lyme???

I like to fuck around and waste time for at least ~6-10 hours per day, and let me tell you, that really puts some pressure on your schedule. you have no idea how busy I am

[proteusolm]

feeling feverish but not actually running a fever is so frustrating. if I'm going to feel awful I want it to be demonstrable for once.

its incredible how long a rat can be entertained by just scurrying around under a blanket
