"...you've probably been depressed yourself, you've had days when you've been in terrible pain in places that don't show up on X-rays, when you can't find the words to explain it even to the people who love you."

Life in Germany: accidentally booked a "Hautarzt" (dermatologist) instead of a "Hausarzt" (General Practitioner) so I guess I'm getting these pimples checked out finally.

We use the term ‘gamut’ to denote the range or scope of a thing, but the word’s original senses were musical: “the lowest note” and/or “the scale of notes … recognized in medieval #music” (Oxford English Dictionary).

The biggest aftermath of all the "Indian pride" at the #oscars2023 for me today has been having the song Naatu Naatu as my earworm the whole day when I skipped it while watching #RRRMovie , have listened to the complete song exactly once in my life, and have never been able to finish watching it on YouTube. Might dance to it tonight though AND rewatch #theelephantwhisperers - I kinda want to be caught up in the craze!
Screaming into the void because now I have to figure out a whole new interface when my brain is struggling to process new information, thanks to certain billionaires; but any #bookstudies, #phd, #creativewriting folks around?
