  1. Dusk

    i had such grandiose plans
    another day to spend
    from the bank of my life
    to reap the dividend

    somewhere i went awry
    i lost track of the sun
    when i turned around again
    the day was almost done

    so now i pin my hopes
    on the fading light
    i watch the creeping shadows
    and make plans for the night

  5. Disappointment:

    I just picked up a new unopened 500g jar of hazelnut spread out of the cupboard and the screw top came off in my hand. The jar landed on the floor and completely shattered into more tiny fragments than I've ever seen in my life.

    So after cleaning up the mess it was back to the open jar of peanut butter. Thankfully I wasn't hurt by the flying glass.

    I was really looking forward to the hazelnut spread.

Who knew? 🥴 Apparently, the internet is flooded with half-baked "products" that are as useful as a chocolate teapot, but hey, at least you can now automate the process of #disappointment. 🤖💼

  20. I've just discovered that there's a Black Library app.

    Between the app and the fact that there's only free extracts and no purchase options on BlackLibrary.com then I guess that means that there's now ZERO chance of them ever doing a Humble Bundle again 🙄

    (And I'm not buying from the app because a) my Kindle won't support it, b) reading on a phone is a shit-awful experience, c) I'm not buying an Android tablet just to read some ebooks and d) reading on a tablet rather than an e-ink device is ALSO a shit-awful experience)

  27. Feeling bläh²

    I thought that "just" feeling bläh was bad enough. It's not as bad as being fully depressed. But it's like you don't have any energy to deal with the days. You know you "have" to do things. You know you want to do things. And then... It's just too hard to actually do any bring, because there's no joy from them. There's no feeling of accomplishment. There is pain, emptiness, sadness, loneliness... But it's not a "real" depression. I can still get up when Koa is ready to start our "day". I still manage to do most of the chores. I am struggling with food now, starting to eat too much again, while exercising way too little. But I fear that I am close to really falling back into the dark hole 🕳️ again... I am on that ledge, my toes already crossed a part of it, feeling nothing underneath but cold air... […]

  37. A big disappointment…

    ...and some feelings of shame and remorse... I have been struggling, I am struggling, and I feel I'm heading into a darker area, which scares me at times... I don't want to fall too much backwards, and end up dropping into a big, dark, hole 🕳️ again. I am not strong enough to deal with depression right now. I don't know if I am there yet... There are plenty of signs of depression, at the moment I write this. But, it could also be another autistic burnout... "Autistic burnout and depression share many outward signs — which is why burnout is frequently misdiagnosed as depression — but their underlying causes, specific symptoms, and paths to recovery are fundamentally different."

  42. A quotation from Homer

    Few match their fathers. Any tongue can tell
    The more are worse: yea, almost none their sires excel.

  46. Blind Love

    I felt the fire of passion
    believing your heady,
    intoxicating words of love
    before I heard the sound
    of the lock on a door
    that became my prison
