Things everybody needs to hear more often:

- you are loved
- your feelings are valid
- you deserve rest
- you don't need to be available at all times
- that's not a raven, that's a crow
- it's okay. a crow is a pretty big and cool bird, too

“Can I interest you in our premium board? The deck is made of Lignum Vitae; it has curly maple inlay and low-oxygen copper field coils”

“Just the plywood one, thanks”

“And our extended warranty—“

“No, just the board.”

“You really should have a platinum grounding strip…”

“My thude I once ran a seance on a piece of driftwood and the jumper cables from my truck. Spirits can’t tell the difference between a plywood ouija board and your four thousand dollar auraphile bullshit.”

“Given the gap between the world as it is and the world that I dream of, how then shall I live?” (not my quote but in a piece/podcast I wrote in November that might be helpful if you're struggling w/ the Horrors right now)

How far back in time can you understand English?

It’s a thousand years of the English language, compressed into a single blog post.

"... as his post goes on, his language gets older. A hundred years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words, and his attitude gets older too, as the blogger’s voice is replaced by that of a Georgian diarist, an Elizabethan pamphleteer, a medieval chronicler."

My favourite piece of internet today is the theory that Jesus was actually a type of yeast.

Turns water into wine
Floats on water
Makes bread for 5000 people
Put in a cave for 3 days and lo - he has risen!
Jesus was a sourdough starter.

Also this would imply: We should be calling him 'Mother' not 'Father'

Post your toots like the shipwrecked sailor who sends out his rescue letter in a bottle, with little hope of it ever reaching anybody, but willing to give the waves and ocean currents a chance to do their job, and at any rate cheerful in the memory of having enjoyed the content of that bottle before he made it his delivery vehicle.
