SincerePostingβ„’: It's not what runs the internet, but if you don't do it from time to time, you'll lose a piece of yourself to an endless stream of bitter comedy.

Sometimes I'll do something that's so like her without thinking about it that it feels like I'm sucked out of my body for a moment and am looking at myself (and therefore also her) from the outside. I don't know if this makes any sense, but nevertheless, I feel compelled to SincerePostβ„’ it.

Realized today that as I get older, the moments when I most see my mom in myself is when I'm doubled over and weeping with laughter.

You can tell time within 15 minutes of accuracy by how much mascara has fallen under my eyes.

Imagine if I quit social media. I'd probably have to start describing myself as "deeply spiritual." I would become the wind caresses the rushes at twilight.

Every time I mute a thread, a short Terrence Malick film plays in my mind.

watching a random movie on netflix: unpleasant, disappointing

watching a random movie on tubi: extraordinary, a blessing

Wish I had some stunning tale of kismet or a wild celebrity run-in, but nope, this is it.

Sounds fake because the totality of the energy I give off is "doilies." I honestly forget about it a lot of the time because it sounds fake even to me.

I have a motorcycle license (and a motorcycle).

I was pretty pumped to stumble upon it during my trip there.

"Watch this CEO" oooooh boy, this sentence had better end with "fall out of a hot air balloon"

"Here's a CEO eating a burger" ok you know what, I have Criterion Channel and a strong gag reflex, so I'm good

Finally, I tell myself three times in the mirror that I am gorgeous and powerful, and nothing at all weird happens after that.

I spend a lot of my day hunched over, uh, chemicals, so it's really important that I apply this repair serum, which I make myself out of...stuff...that I source locally.

Hi Vogue! Today I'm gonna show you my nighttime routine. Okay, so step one is to polish my snaggletooth. It's the first thing people see, so I want to keep it looking its best. Then, I start removing the bird nests from my hair, because they're kinda hard to sleep on and the birds hate it.

The hope comes from the fact that people do leave. But not without scars.

Crushingly sad to go through life having such a narrow or backwards concept of what love is. Their visions of how the world works are grand and apocalyptic, but their lives are so, so small.

Shout-out to everyone who's having some old evangelical trauma dredged up these days. Really haven't missed the smug smirks of the most abusive creeps I've ever known.

Yeah, mine was "I need something immediately and what comes up first in the search results."

Thanks for this. I will play with Dorico SE as well...when I'm feeling emotionally stronger, haha.

I've just moved from ye olde Finale Notepad (RIP, sob) to MuseScore for the moment. Need to do some quick transcribing before I figure out if I should pay for something. I don't have fancy needs, but recs are welcome!

I can tell it's better and more powerful and I despise it.
