dear @neilhimself (+Terry, if you're reading this)
No.
just NO.
this is unacceptable.
my alexithymia cannot cope with this.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO US!!!!!!
people who know me well keep warning me to "brace myself" for S2 of Good Omens. it's making me a wee bit scared. especially since S3 has been announced, but won't be out for years.
should i wait? or go hard @neilhimself?
(already rewatched S1 in readiness, and seen first 2 eps S2. might be too late... 🥹🥹🥹)
it’s taken me a while to process the death of Sinéad O’Connor, Shuhada Sadaqat, but now i have had some time to do that, and had some conversations with people close to me about it, i want to come out of my online hiding and share some things.
hive mind, can you help me find my ideal #mindmap #conceptmap tool?
i want it to work on all platforms, allow you to hand draw a map and then digitise it, where all those nodes are also databased (not just 'outline view' but fully searchable/sortable). and ideally also has collab functions (maybe via dig whiteboard or equiv) as well as export/easily viewable to private group online (in its fully dynamic form).
been looking for this unicorn for years. it probably still doesn't exist yet.
ta!
i want to shout something new from the rooftops. & i want to hold it safe, secret, give it the time & respect it needs & deserves to fully come into its own being.
i am scared of what it means, & thrilled by the same. i fear i am too much & not enough, that i will break this, & me, by being too much, not enough, in imperfectly managed measures.
growth is complex. it glitters with tantalising potential.
i am here, cautiously, patiently, openly, bravely, for all it has to teach me 🧡
i'm also getting ready to #quitsmoking, so want to give my #stimmyfingers something to keep them occupied in ways which will distract from, rather than add to, the impending tetchiness!
small wins make a big difference. i'll take all of them, please!
(tho i might stay snug a wee while longer.... brrrrrrr!)
it's chilly this morning in #westwales, has that 'biting at the fingertips' vibe to it. are we all keeping ourselves snug?
i'm planning on wrapping up warmly and going to a local hardware store to see if they have some bits n bobs to add to my slowly growing toolkit.
been whittling away at my first spoon, which is made of Holly. it's quite a hard wood, so i'm thinking of trying a smaller one in a softer wood to give myself a faster, easier leg-up while i'm getting started.
love my new life!
#thisweek in #coppiceworking i learned how to fell trees with an axe. the pic shows the largest one i have felled so far.
i have feels about this work. it's enriching - we are protecting the woodland ecosystems and their futures - and i feel sad 'hurting' the trees which have brought me safety and protection all these years.
i also feel grateful to still be alive to be able to follow this retraining call, and for the instructors & fellow students. & proud of myself for bravely regrowing *me*.
