Ever have a dream that tells you no matter how strong fierce you think you are - youโ€™re not. You just pretend even in real life. You have no backbone. Your choices and actions, even inaction; will get the person you love killed - or in this case murdered, and no amount of rage will bring them back.

Some of yall need to give workers a little more grace, especially in a Monday when _you_ need something from _them_. Take your spicy attitudes elsewhere.

I opened up Spirit City. My laptop immediately fired up and sounds like a jet trying to take off. I started hearing popping noises and panicked picking up my laptop and trying to see what was wrong - I forgot I turned on fireplace cackle sound effect. LOL.

GUESS WHAT? Go on, guess. It's Xena & Callisto again, you may remember them from other such posts of mine like, 'Xena x Callisto,' & the surprise sequel, 'More Xena x Callisto,' plus more. It's the one with Xena standing over Callisto telling her to stay down and Callisto is like, "Gladly <3" y'know, classic Callisto stuff. I added a little background of GREENERY, like the threat of a fern and a whisper of some grass, stuff like that. Plus some peachy pink sky. #myart

Added a background to this Xena/Callisto piece so I could make some nice prints and I think it turned out PEACHY

I did not find a heart today.

Your brain has a filter known as the Reticular Activating System, or RAS, for short. It's a bundle of nerves that filters out unnecessary information so that important information can get through. Did you ever learn a new word, and then see and hear it everywhere? Have you noticed that even in a noisy crowd, you can hear someone call your name? That's your RAS at work.
Your RAS takes what you focus on and creates a filter for it. It then sifts through the data and presents only the pieces that are important to you. All of this happens without you ever noticing.
To point out the power of your RAS, Mel Robbins recommends a simple game. Each day, as you go about your business, look for naturally occurring heart shapes in the world around you. It could be a heart-shaped leaf, cloud, or rock - even spilled coffee!

I wonder how much money I would make if I had the ability to return all my unplayed Steam Library games.

I might have to look at what my library is worth and calculate it - itโ€™s far beyond their 2 week date (weโ€™re talking years) so itโ€™s nothing more than curiosity.

A vintage, glossy Nintendo Power wallet featuring retro Zelda artwork. A 90s-era Link with brown hair holds a massive sword while jumping Tektites (one-eyed enemies) leap 
behind him. The bold red and yellow Nintendo Power logo sits at the top against a bright blue background.

Look at him. He is trying his best. Honestly I would have loved to have had this Nintendo Power wallet if Link from Legend of Zelda.

Ok, thatโ€™s a lie. Kid me wouldnโ€™t have, but adult me is all for it.

Not really โ€˜myโ€™ choice picks for these characters, but Iโ€™m going to keep my optimism alive and hope they do a good job.

I wonder if I consume so much media because it is the only reprieve from real life that I have. Dreams are supposed to be that reprieve, but when they mimic real life - such as a capitalistic job structure - there is no relief therefore, that relief and fantasy is only found in media.

Iโ€™ve noticed my attitude has been leaning towards bitterness lately. It might be time for a Fruits Basket rewatch.

Of course I get sick the day @liminaljane.bsky.social is supposed to come home after she was gone nine days.

I have a sore throat, a cough and a light fever.

When she left my period started. Can the universe give me a little less?

And how was the employee injured?

Doing somatic flow dancing to release their panic attack energy by dancing to Taylor Swift โ€œshake it offโ€ on the work room floor.

Iโ€™ve cried more the last few days than I have in the past two years.

You can take it back now then.

I hate that 'the jungle' is the only online shopping place that I know of where I can search for any random item I may want or fancy - and get it shipped to me.

Mini-printer, air purifier, Bloom drink, ... I hate it. I mostly just window shop and try not to impulse buy and rack my debt up higher.

Sometimes it feels like all Iโ€™m ever doing is sleep, work, to-do tasks.

When I get free time I never know what to do with myself.

What happened to me?

Black-and-white photograph of Vera Menchik, the pioneering first Women's World Chess Champion, seated at a chessboard in deep concentration during a game or study session. She rests her chin on her clasped hands, elbows on the table, gazing intently downward at the board with a calm, focused expression. Menchik has dark hair pulled back and wears a long-sleeved cardigan or sweater. The chessboard in the foreground displays a mid-game position with black and white pieces in play, including prominent kings, queens, bishops, knights, rooks, and pawns. Behind her, heavy dark curtains frame a bright window letting in natural light.

In 1927, Vera Menchik became the first Women's World Chess Champion at age 21 & is the longest-reigning women's champion in #chess history.

She defended the title 7 times, held it undisputed until her tragic death in 1944 at age 38 in a V-1 rocket bombing during #WWII. She was born #OTD in 1906.
