“Some men improve the world only by leaving it.”
Do you know how easy it is to live and not have people say that about you when you die? The majority of humanity passes through this world without having that said about them when they shuffle along.

This news cycle out of the USA where 🎃 says something that’s obviously a lie…the lie is revealed to be a lie…and then y’all continue on waiting for the next lie… is exhausting from up here 🇨🇦. I can’t imagine how it is for folks stuck inside that loop. https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/good-news-everyone-grand-theft-paint
It would be a beautiful tribute to the life and legacy of Glen Hansard if fans donated to the Dublin Simon Community org he put so much time and effort into shining a light on. https://www.dubsimon.ie/statement-from-dublin-simon-community-on-the-passing-of-glen-hansard
I like the idea of building things with wood. But I get very anxious / overthinking about not knowing what I’m doing, not having the right tools / gear, and wasting expensive wood.
This is why I like building on computers. It only costs me time, and there’s an undo button. 😝

@glassbottommeg@mastodon.gamedev.place The timing of this with that Roost "bird" social network is a little too on the nose. Or beak? lol
Getting the spring urge to sell everything and buy a 5th wheel touring the country(ies) and actually meeting my clients in person... but then remembering that the President of our neighbours has decided to make everything greater for all of us by raising the price of gas so high that nobody can afford anything.
So instead we'll just go tent trailer'ing nearby. 🏕️
Getting some sun and stretches in. 🐶 ☀️

@mathowie@xoxo.zone Ooh yes. That's another one. I'd never say "Hey let's watch season 1 of The Good Place on Friday night?" - but I'd watch a 3hr+ movie so why not? :)

@mathowie@xoxo.zone How would my neighbour import a movie from AppleTV into iMovie I wonder?

@mathowie@xoxo.zone I'm thinking the same thing needs to be done with Andor as well. Though it'll be a much longer movie.
Why are you scrolling your phone?! Go to bed! 😊

Me and who?
My body decided waking up at 4am was the best thing to do this morning so please follow along for all the mood swings from hyper focused to deep sadness and everything in between until I finally crash out around 3:45pm today.
