I'd really love an invite to @chaos.social if anyone has a hookup! I like their rules, and honestly just really want the awesome username.

A highlight reel / journal of my life and shower thoughts. Very few bummers. I'd rather post for five people here than make Zuck and Elon another dime.
I wish I didn't crave external validation so badly. It often feels like if no one notices or cares whether I do something, I have no motivation to do it. I feel like I shouldn't need anyone to tell me I'm a good boy in order to do the things I already know are best for me.
WFH today for the first time since we adopted Aurora.
Current status: very helpful, purring, possibly asleep.
Tonight we watched 'The Primevals', a film whose production is probably more interesting than its on screen story. Still, it's a breezy 90 minutes and the stop motion animation, matte paintings, old school sets, and ace integration of all three into scenes with human actors are second to none, rivaling Harryhausen. You can feel the love for old school effects. A film about a lost civilization that itself feels beamed in from a bottle universe.
Made elotes and from-scratch refried beans (with salt pork and lard, naturally!) for dinner tonight.
awkward because they're still getting ready and no one else shows up till 1:15.
Or they say "we'll be there at 6 for dinner" so we have dinner ready AT 6 and then they show up at 6:30 and everything's cold.
This is such an unspoken "everyone just knows" thing that I don't get that I've started straight up asking "do you mean exactly at that time or..."
DON'T TELL ME A TIME IF YOU DON'T WANT ME THERE AT ****THAT**** TIME 🤬
One of my quirks is that I'm pathologically punctual. I have an instinct for the passage of time. I consistently arrive EXACTLY on time without planning it consciously. I put something in the oven and go watch TV, get a weird feeling and go to check on it and there's 10 seconds left on the timer.
This is a good thing, right? You'd think, and in some ways it is.
But regularly in my social life people say something like "the party starts at 12:30" and I get there at 12:29 and it's all
