I'm sorry I missed the xmas postcard window. Hope you're all well!

So much love back!! Am surviving, in a little bit of a hermit phase, I might forget human speech soon and that will be lovely! Hope you're doing well.

I hope this new year brings you post-holiday relief! It has been so weird for me, at the same time it all looked so merry and peaceful but I've also felt sad the whole time, somehow. Here's to another year and may it be kind. <3

Things are mostly well, I'm just...hibernating I guess. Hope you're well too! <3

It...uh...hibernating for winter kinda? <3

machine learning is incredibly useful when you apply it to actual problems, and yet for some reason the deeply embarrassing "maybe my computer will become a real boy" shit just refuses to die no matter how many times the proponents cop to not knowing what they're talking about

Attended one of those prosecco and paint evening yesterday, and had so much fun! My hand did NOT listen to my brain even a little bit, but I had fun nonetheless.

HILL HOUSE, NOT SANE, STOOS BY ITSELF AGAINST THE HILLS, HOLDING DARKNESS WITHIN…

you can't trust the state. you can't trust community. all paths lead to corruption. I think this is why I always seek refuge in myth and legend. the world is a monstrous unfair mess and then you die. any given act of kindness or courage is a miracle, every single time, and the sky is full of fire

If you can't handle me at my worst (crying in the shower), you don't deserve me at my best (crying in the shower while eating cake)

Happiest of days! 🧡

This only happens to you once

Depicts the eternal question - me and who

Digital painting of an apple tree against a bright blue sky, red and yellow apples clear among the leaves. There are white clouds sprinkled across the sky, and a line of trees in the background.

We report: it is a little less hot, for a shorter amount of time, but when the sun is out, it is out. We left our sunglasses in our other jacket - subconsciously, we must have thought autumn meant no sun. We are left helplessly squinting for our trouble. It is a bright day.

This is SO COOL.
