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)

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... […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/07/24/feeling-blah%c2%b2/

📸✨ Wow, #JPEGs are magical! 🤯 Did you know they can show blurry #blobs of #disappointment instead of full disappointment when they’re only partly downloaded? 🤓 Marvel at the "exciting" world of low-frequency component headers—because what we all need is a picture that takes longer to disappoint us! 😂📂

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."

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

HOT SAUCE APOCALYPSE
Yesterday the lunch place had run out of hot sauce.
In Australia, this is barely news.
Aussies don’t really do hot sauce.
But some of us do.
Some of us have built whole fragile emotional ecosystems around a few drops of chilli on lunch.
I agreed to sweet chilli sauce instead, because apparently I am very mature.
But I did register my disappointment with the manageress.
Politely.
Firmly.
Historically.
Then I went for my walk.
Then I did my breathwork.
Then I noticed the day still had a slight dent in it.
This caught me off guard.
I had only just been saying that everything is perfect all the time now.
Apparently, “everything” includes the lunch place running out of hot sauce and me quietly wanting the owner told so this national disgrace never happens again.
That is how the ego works.
It does not just want lunch.
It wants justice.
And there it was.
Not a catastrophe.
Not a spiritual failure.
Just a tiny place where preference had turned into grievance.
The hot sauce was missing.
The peace was not.
I had simply misplaced it for a moment under the sweet chilli sauce.

I guess it's goodbye to another favorite hangout; Black Snake Brewing in Staatsburg New York. It was a great place to enjoy a beer and relax out in the country. I knew the property was for sale. They stopped posting on social media, the signs are down and things are looking a desolate on a recent joyride. I guess we have to look for someplace else. #HudsonValley #disappointment

Ah yes, the mythical "regular expressions that work everywhere"—it's like believing in #unicorns 🦄, except these unicorns only work in some apps and have #syntax #quirks that drive you to madness. Apparently, the secret to mastering #regex is also mastering #disappointment and inconsistency. 🎉

So sehr ich ihn in früheren Jahren bewundert habe, so sehr enttäuscht er mich jetzt. Noch schlimmer als der Bundeskanzler, der sich als Eier-Lecker-Misogyno-Chauvinist-sans-Cœur entpuppt hat – der immerhin noch sagte: „Ich bin nicht rassistisch, fragt mal eure Töchter!“ (Als ob er bei Frauen, besonders jungen, jemals eine Meinung und nicht nur Bestätigung gesucht hätte.)

Sometimes, I think it helps to think of people's emotional skillset like a toolbox.
What's in the toolbox?
Could be...well...not that much.
I think of that, when I get a disappointing response from someone, or think of when I have acted in a disappointing way.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
What do we owe our parents? No man can owe love; none can owe obedience. We owe, I think, chiefly pity; for we are the pledge of their dear and joyful union, we have been the solicitude of their days and the anxiety of their nights, we have made them, though by no will of ours, to carry the burthen of our sins, sorrows, and physical infirmities; and too many of us grow up at length to disappoint the purpose of their lives and requite their care and piety with cruel pangs.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 2.2 “Parent and Child”More about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…
