I am still wandering around the internet looking for a place that feels comfortable 🤷

Not sure how many people are still playing #Wordle here, but I love it!

Side note that she is all for me rearranging things, I don't just randomly change up her living space without her wanting me to!
I rearranged a bunch of furniture and I'm all giddy waiting for my partner to come home so I can show her our new and improved unit!
Today was results publication date and I am now officially finally a graduate! I've completed my Bachelor of Arts majoring in Literary and Cultural Studies, and Digital and Social Media Studies! It's been a very long and windy road to get here but I'm quite pleased with myself to have made it! #university
The best advice I got about Mastodon is that it’s for things you love, not hate
I see the old “too many people are going to university to do Mickey Mouse degrees” trope is doing the rounds again. My son did a degree in Comedy Writing and Performance. Did he get a job in the creative industries? No. Is he earning a good salary? Also no. But he was greatly enriched by studying something he was passionate about for three years. What is wrong with just learning for learning’s sake? Education is not supposed to be merely a mechanism for churning out workers
you must drink water so you can maintain your physical form, thank you.

I wrap myself in this blanket, pretend it's your arms,
pulling me in for a hug.
I can hear your laughter right in my ear,
I swear it sounds so real.

But when I turn my head the room remains vacant-
just myself and your stifling absence.
And my mind drifts back to our youth, long gone-
this blanket was yours back then.

I always wanted one just like it,
I always wanted to be just like you.

And I suppose that not a lot has changed, because when I work up the courage to visit your grave,
I still find myself wanting to be just like you.

I guess I got the blanket in the end.
