today was exhausting

ah how topical :/ ive just redownloaded facebook after not using it for about four or five years solely because i wanted access to facebook marketplace and for some reason even that sucks now 😭 but i cant actually tell if its just that people are less responsive in this city or if its a fb problem

my fountain pen appeared to be out of ink yesterday so i started cleaning it while on call with a friend and not super paying attention and either the remnants of that ink were REALLY concentrated (unlikely?) or there was simply still a lot of ink left and the nib was dried out for some reason :/

look how much craftsmanship we've lost in clothing in just a hundred years

packing to move has got to be one of the worst chores ever invented oh my god

are stalogy notebooks fountain pen friendly

got home a little late so i couldnt take a long walk but i did get to take a small loop in the park for around 20 min before it got dark :) its such lovely weather today i need to enjoy it while it lasts

if any of my friends in this city get cats i think i should be allowed to come over at least three times a week to see them

i actually logged on to ask if there are any (licensed) therapists/psychologists who would be interested in participating in a podcast episode to talk about power imbalances in romance fiction — specifically relationships where one partner is imprisoned and the other is in a position of power.

i have decided to give up on conda and simply manually append the directory to import from 💀 "conda will make your life easier" they said

i have been battling conda for the last three hours someone save me from this hell oh my god

a conundrum: was planning on donating any books i bought but didnt love to an assortment of little free libraries in my neighborhood but i have accidentally bought a book i hate in the sense that it actively stigmatizes(?) taking medication for depression and now im like wtf do i do with this book??

i want a breakfast taco soooo bad rn yall

god i miss good bbq

holy shit paxton won by how much???

Sorry but Round Rock being seen as a liberal bastion now is sending me

having a horrible day today and its not even noon

this and other examples in the comments are why i LOVE to browse secondhand bookstores

ew its so humid my floors feel damp

this reminds me that i went to korea and got glasses there that fit better than any ive ever gotten in the us (which is confusing to me because my hat size is small but even wide glasses sometimes feel pinchy to me) and also they were ready for me to pick up within a few hours instead of two weeks

another day another matt groom is my least favorite commentator ever

max milne is definitely one of my absolute favorite climbers to watch right now hes so funny

going to the farmers market today and im really not sure what to expect 🫠

nature is really committed to pissing me off these days

really bummed miho didnt make finals today but it was so fun to watch annie break the beta every other climb 😤 an icon honestly i want to climb like her haha

ifsc stream top comments are no longer timestamps for when the actual climbing starts or even better, timestamps for when each athlete starts each climb we are losing receipts and i spoiled myself on the result of this final looking for the timestamps in the comments dammit

my library has 100% bought books off my single request alone

couldnt climb so i spent all night watching climbing competitions yippee

yall i just dropped my heaviest umbrella point down straight onto my big toe im dying

I'm a busy person with an aversion to admin work. it's so easy for me to default to just staying with the same email service I've been using. but they are trying so hard to push me into doing the FUCKING WORK to leave.

75 degrees at 11pm 💀 yall i am SCARED for the summer

Tuesday? You've got to be fucking kidding me.

someone needs to a study on how it is possible that every time you accumulate a huge list of holds at the library over the course of several weeks they always end up coming at the exact same time anyway i have 15 books checked out now

oh is it time for me to go dig my spurs hat out from storage

well im happy to report that ive got an abundance of indie bookstores in my city to shop from instead (and its genuinely been years since i bought anything from a b&n because of that)

I LOVE the rice cooker! It’s the best example of simple physics : it’s literally a pot, a heating element and a magnet. That’s it. No electronics. No sensors. Nothing. How does it work??? Physics ! 🧵

it’s already too hot out

hate getting like five pamphlets shoved into my face every time i go vote

allocated six pages in my journal for writing about A Serious Thing (allocated by decorating with blue themed stickers) and two of my three fountain pens with blue ink in them ran out of ink within two of those pages lmao

i didnt realize there was someone opposing summer lee in the primary tomorrow? i just read a local voter guide and im having trouble figuring out what exactly he disagrees with her on? what is this man running for im so confused

fuckin christ man

ive had to weigh my penpal letters TWICE this month to make sure i didnt have to pay extra postage, which is why i now know that the limit for regular letter mail is 1oz (a little over 28g) turns out six pages of my notepad plus an envelope weighs about 26g, if my kitchen scale is to be believed

coming back to this to add a few things about the tumblr app: 1) some of the ads being a) basically full screen so that i have to find the little sliver of not ad on my screen to use to scroll past it and b) some of the ads having a scroll function INSIDE THE AD

how did it go from its kinda cold even with a hoodie weather to gotta get the ac set up again for the year weather in the span of like 2 days

Tired: this meeting could have been an email. Wired: this app could have been a website

there should be a way to mute extremely hd bug pictures im so sorry to bug enthusiasts i love yall but i was not built to perceive that many legs at 4000x magnification

i have been on a fuckin nostalgia trip since i bought this yall

i fear the next event on the fountain pen horizon for me is a flex nib 😔 someone please send advance prayers for my wallet

ArXiv is going to ban researchers for a year if they are caught submitting AI slop. ArXiv told us it's a one strike rule: do it once, you're out. www.404media.co/new-arxiv-ru...

Pittsburgh I am in search of recommendations for contractors who do good work with concrete, specifically for an external staircase. The existing one should probably just be removed and fully replaced.
