Her birthday morning.

There's a spider outside my window. It's very pretty.

I'm on the "train" leg of my west coast plane -> car -> ranch -> car -> apartment -> train -> train -> bus -> parents -> car -> plane -> home trip. I'll be exhausted, but I've missed this kind of travel.

Tessa Hulls' "Feeding Ghosts" is really quite good.

Just finished watching season 2, episode 2 of The Last of Us. Not sure I can watch more. Or, you know, ever watch anything again.

I logged into Former Twitter to find the name of an old contact; it's been ages since I've seen the site. I had to dig through my tweet history and it made me sad to have left it behind. I looked at options for transferring that history to platforms like Mastodon, but there's no way to do it that preserves timestamps and doesn't spam everyone. Gotta just let it go.

I'm out on a hike with K, but I messed up my leg playing soccer a couple months ago and I still need to baby it. So I've settled down here with my tiny backpacking chair while she continues off into the woods. I'm just going to enjoy the beautiful view, my book, and the quiet.

It's gorgeous out. Almost makes me forget how important it is to feel bad.

I want a browser addon that changes the "Maybe Later" button on prompts for e.g. turning on AI assistance to "Fucking Never"
