(Fern:) I've been enjoying the mood tracker app #Foxtale so far! (Installed it 3ish days ago.) It's by the creators of the chronic illness tracking app #Bearable. It's very cute. It's like #Finch but focused on mood tracking/journaling and not tasks/friendship.

There is an option to turn off animations, though I don't know how good it is because the animations are fine for us, so I just briefly checked it (seems fine?)

The idea is you send a little fox friend on an adventure every day (with the option to log moods/journaling more often than that) and your emotions, even negative ones, are valuable in the story.

I drink
because I can

I sleep around
to suppress
oppressive loneliness

These prescribed medications
make my bleak life
a little more #bearable

So many crutches
so little progress
in my Quixotic quest
to be a well adjusted
respectable member
of our judgemental tribe

Tis why I scribe
weird poetry I guess

We all need
our little coping devices

Anything ... and everything.

QUENCH

Zest giving zest to yellow fluid
Enticing me in scorching play
Not xerophilous I sway
Grave determination
Barely bearable
Enrich'ning quench
Eye's apple
On hot
Days

Ten #Hacks That Will Make Your Life More #Bearable, According To #Reddit

Dear friends of absorption, ☸️
How many things absorb our attention? How many are a distraction? An obsession? A necessity?

My latest 5 minute #podcast

#Absorption as a #meditative state is used in #Sufism and can make chore time more #enjoyable. It involves #being fully #attentive and #involved in a #task, even if it’s #repetitive or not particularly fun. #Playing #music or finding ways to make the task more #bearable can help. If you #enjoy what you’re doing, absorption comes #easily. Absorption is similar to #awareness or #mindfulness in #meditation. The speaker gives an example of using a #scythe to #clear #weeds and how it becomes a form of absorption.
