Y'know when you're doing this big multi-step DIY project that involves doing many things and getting parts and tools and materials and you're holding all this stuff in your head and you notice how much of a big noisy scrungly mess it is up there, all the thoughts and worries and tasks overlapping each other like spaghetti all going in different directions, and you grumble "This is ridiculous, a guy can't get anything done with all that yammering going on," so you start up the computer and the text editor and write out what's going on up there, not because you don't know what's going on but just because thoughts go wibblywoobly like gummy worms and writing goes left to right in a straight line and to turn your oh-I-need-to-do-this-and-that thinkings into a ah-I-need-to-do-this-THEN-that shaped Plan you need to untangle the spaghetti and make it go in the long straight writing-shaped hole

Do you ever think of that like brushing your brain

Like oh no my brain's all tangled I've gotta spend a few minutes giving it a nice brush and make it purr

Cruel tbh that the text editor, the program for untangling your spaghetti, lives in the same machine as the web browser for flopping more spaghetti into your skullbowl
Brainbrusher and brainmixer right next to each other in the quick launch panel aye, this is humane and not just a hamster wheel for periodic mindscrungling

🦝 Like some folk write out a braindump all by hand on paper and I can't do that, I'd be flipping my pencil over so often I'd rub through the page, I need the backspace key and the arrow keys to rearrange things and that's why computers are great

The Internet: 🌍 while I've got you here may I interest you in everything in the whole wide world ever

@ifixcoinops I wasn't expecting fiber arts content in this thread, but then again, why wasn't I? Isn't my entire concept of the day ahead of me a huge unwashed tangled fleece that's DAMN HEAVY and very likely to SMOTHER me and the only way to deal with it is to disentangle it FIBER BY FRICKIN' FIBER

Drum carder! If only! What I've got are the tiniest of carding combs and one of them has a bunch of broken teeth!

@NicoleJLeBoeuf it's absolutely bananas what people charge for drum carders vs the complexity of the actual machine
