How many stuffed animals/plushies are on your bed right now? (Not just in your bedroom - on your bed.)

None (I'm so sorry)

1-3 (where do you put the rest?)

4-6 (minimalism)

7-10 (reasonable)

11-15 (and alas, now we reach the limits of my twin)

16-20 (delightful!)

21+ (ah yes, the mountain)

This poll is destroying my notes because so many people are describing their stuffed animals (and their locations) in the notes. This is the best possible outcome for me; please do not stop.

I think it's great that 21+ has over twice as many votes as 16-20 - it seems like once people get much over a dozen, they just go for it.

I genuinely forgot when making this poll that some people share beds with other humans.

I’ve been in the middle of the ocean at night and now live in texas and it is so hard to explain to people that no, they have not ever seen the night sky. It is so hard to explain to people that what they think is a proper night sky is fucking pathetic. A disgrace.

People talk about how you can’t see stars in the city and yeah, that’s true, but their concept of “seeing stars” is being able to make out orion’s belt.

So, so few people have see the sky in all its glory and it’s not sad. It’s a fucking crime. Seeing a perfectly dark night, no clouds, not a hint of light pollution? That’s a fucking religious experience.

The sky the vast vast majority of us grew up with is not the sky that inspired us to look up. It is not the sky that inspired constellations. You can’t even see most constellations.

Your ancestors looked at the night sky and said “surely, that is where the gods must live.” And you might be lucky if you can see hardly more than a handful of stars.

The sky is full, fucking FULL, of stars, and you’ve never seen them.

light pollution is also actively harmful to many species of birds, mammals, and insects

I took these photos on the Isle of Skye, in a place with no light pollution. Skies can look like this.

Saw that poll about long car rides and USAmericans and on behalf of them and also Canadians, Australians, Russians, and anyone else from a country you can't drive through in less than 24 hours...

*Answers can be driving OR as a passenger OR both (i.e. taking turns driving), whichever is easier for you. The point is, you're sitting in a car.

**Assume all times CAN include short rest stops / stretch-your-leg breaks but are otherwise "straight through" to your destination (i.e. no parking for sleep).

How long of a car ride can you tolerate (big country edition)?

Can't. At all. Cannot any car travel.

1 - 30 minutes

30 min - 1 hour

2 hours

3 hours

4 hours

5 or 6 hours

7 or 8 hours

8 - 12 hours

12+ hours

I take one sensible edible on a thursday night and the grubhub doordash (sorry) Sheetz menu starts looking like that one bit from Annihilation (the book) (have not read it) (but I know about it)

I have a lot of creative energy, yet I sit mindlessly scrolling through lobotomizing Instagram reels and TikToks. I've thought countless times about what to do about my restlessness, but I stay stagnant. I want to make something personal and honest with all of my favorite things. I worry if what I make will be enough for me, I doubt myself a lot but my contentment is getting harder to come by and I think I just need to do it
