The numbers in the book were just ridiculous. If I recall, she had published a number of puzzles which would amount to five a week for thirty years, and there was a massive hedge maze that had a square footage less than twice the size of my living room.
Sometimes I retweet a set of images because it completely captures my soul at that moment. This is almost such a time.
a buff, naked Walt Disney, with a weird little Mickey on his shoulder
a screenprinted Ween poster someone made that shows someone looking up, in a graveyard, at a giant ghostly figure of a woman. it's printed in medium and dark blues on a lighter blue paper
an image that says "Wishing you a normal New Year," but the "o" in "normal" is replaced with a mouse
someone squirting a box of... milk tea? into their eye, excitedly. The lighting is really canonical 2000s bathroom mirror digital photo -style. This may be a person whose livejournal I used to follow?? damned if I can remember their name, was it like Elise or something?
I want to say that feels incredibly unlikely, but my inability to clarify the probability space I'm working in prevents me.

Arte digital de uma vampira e uma bruxa se beijando em uma sacada. A vampira está do outro lado, debruçada no guarda corpo, enquanto a bruxa está do lado de dentro, segurando o rosto de sua amada. A vampira é uma mulher branca, de cabelos cor-de-rosa, presos em um rabo-de-cavalo; está vestindo blazer e saia, meia calça e coturnos; tem piercings na orelha e no queixo e usa um brinco de lua com uma corrente; em cada um dos pulsos há uma tatuagem, uma é o sol mesclado com a lua e a outra as letras NC. A bruxa é uma mulher negra, com cabelos crespos roxos, trançados até o topo da cabeça, terminando em um pompom decorado com duas flores amarelas; tem piercing na orelha e usa um brinco de sol; está vestindo calça jeans de cintura alta e um blusão colorido, meias listradas. Sobre as cabeças delas voa uma morceguinha orelhuda com um pixie nas costas, esperando a vampira para partirem. Na sacada há várias plantas diferentes por toda a parte, em vasos decorados à mão, há artes de madeira de pássaros, tapetes decorados, uma mesinha de centro feita de um caixote e um sofá de palete com almofadas de fronha decorada, neste lado tudo é pintado com tons alaranjados. Ao fundo é possível ver a cidade, toda em tons frios, principalmente de azul. Há várias casinhas e árvores, é possível ver parte da estrada de pedras, uma farmácia e um muro pichado. No alto da arte há um céu estrelado com uma lua crescente.
só mais um beijo antes de ir ☝️🧡

Jason Schreier · 8m @jasonschreier.bsky.social Finding all your old Twitter follows here is very fun, like it's Final Fantasy 6 and you have to go around getting your friends back together because the old world got destroyed by a sociopath with bad jokes (This was summer 2023 I think)
It feels like you've already figured out the better wording "if I were to quit" which suits both the cryptic and surface perfectly, and are for some reason not just using that?
