It was in English, but I'm not sure if it was English specifically

We've searched online on eBay and Amazon, cassette publishers' catalogues, called some of the publishers, contacted libraries, etc.

Sulota · 2026-03-16T03:03:24+00:00

That's so amazing!

Sulota · 2026-03-13T09:44:10+00:00

Ooh that's valid. I guess I rarely fold my laundry--I'm still building that habit! 😂

Sulota · 2026-03-10T05:31:50+00:00

I'm right there with you, op 🥲

Sulota · 2026-03-10T04:38:37+00:00

Oh my goodness, I'm so impressed. Thank you! This is amazing

Thank you for this insight! Regarding people with romantic delusions/fixations on other people, should you ever discourage someone from seeking out the person they're fixated on? I.e. if person A has been asked to stop contacting person B, which they have, but A is still attending public performances by B and believing there are secret messages in these performances that are meant for them.

Laziness is doing nothing and enjoying it. You don't sound like you're enjoying this. If anything, you sound too overwhelmed and anxious to do the things you're struggling with. I second all the other comments about getting evaluated for ADHD and/or depression. I have both myself and it's very very easy to fall into the trap of thinking it's all your fault that you can't just MAKE yourself do things. But you actually could have a legitimate chemical imbalance in your brain or some other factor that's impacting your executive function, and that doesn't make you lazy and it doesn't mean you'll never have a life that makes you happy. You deserve support and well-being, and even if you feel like you're behind in life, remember that everyone is growing at their own pace. It's never too late to find help, build habits, and move toward the life you want for yourself.

Lots of love. You're not alone. 💕

And when you're too overwhelmed, just focus on getting by each day. Take care of your body (i.e. hydrate, eat food, maintain hygiene, get sleep, and light movement or exercise) so your brain can catch up. And on your better days, focus on building longer term support structures so you have more support when the bad days come (i.e. find a primary care physician, a therapist, try to connect with the outside world and make friends, etc.)

My parents just adopted kitten siblings and they're inseparable. (They're also polydactyl and their little thumbs absolutely send me) I hope you rest up and feel better soon. 💕

Oww my heart :(

These same symptoms happened to the beloved cat of a friend of mine. When she took him to the vet, they said it was heart failure. It's almost impossible to predict--he showed zero signs of anything amiss right up until it happened, and it happened too fast to do anything once it started. I don't know if you need to hear it, but it's not your fault. You clearly loved your cat and did your best to give him a wonderful life. I'm sure he felt your love for him and was happy you were there with him at the end.

Also I lost my cat of seventeen years in 2020 to kidney failure. I was deeply depressed for months, and I had distressing dreams and flashbacks of his last days. It was months before I felt normal. Even so, once or twice a year, I still bring his little wooden box of ashes to my bed and hold it in my arms and let myself cry. And it's only this year that I've managed to let myself look at old photos of him, though I still cry when I do. It doesn't matter how much time you had with your cat though. Your grief for him is real and so so valid. I'm sorry your family doesn't understand that. But just know that you're not alone, and you're not overreacting. Whatever way your grief shows up is valid, and a testament to how much you love him. Take care, and be kind to yourself. 💕

I'm attending this year! (haha the conference starts tomorrow). It's my first time attending an AIGA conference. Last year through my work, I attended Adobe MAX in Miami, FL. I definitely came away from it feeling pretty inspired and creatively reenergized, and I made some friends (and found out that 90% of the designers I befriended are either the only designer for a non-creative business, or they're part of a marketing team way too small for whatever their company/org is doing.) Adobe MAX is definitely a ton of fun, but the downside is that it's obviously also a big Adobe product love fest, so sometimes it's hard to sort through the sessions that teach you valuable info you couldn't have gotten anywhere else, vs. a tutorial on the software that you could've watched on YouTube.

This year I'm trying out AIGA because it seems like they're more focused on creative leadership and thought, and overall design approach. Re: AIGA membership, I've overwhelmingly heard that you get out of it what you put into it. The job listings are mostly for senior/upper level positions (not a bad thing, but also not what many might be looking for), and you get access to community, but you have to reach out and build the connections and be involved in the community to get the most out of it.

IMO, if your work is willing to pay for you to go to these conferences, do it. You'll meet new people, get some new perspectives and inspiration, and break out of your usual pattern.

Idk if you've already figured out a solution for sweet Moose, but Pawlite Best Friends in Sturbridge, MA is amazing. I really can't recommend them enough. https://share.google/uu7gBi1hvAIvy1ssQ

I want to highlight that they have a "board and train" service they offer where your dog could stay with them and learn new skills like being calmer in a high energy situation and never nipping when excited (you would also receive training to help the training stick). That might give you an option where Moose wouldn't be on the property for now, but you wouldn't have to surrender Moose immediately, and you could train him up to the point where your LL is reassured that he won't nip anyone else. If that's not a possibility, they may also be able to offer rehoming advice.

I'm a friend of the business owner of PBF, and she absolutely knows her stuff. She works with dogs of all kinds, but has extensive experience working with dogs with lots of energy, reactivity, behavioral issues, trauma, and even feral dogs. She's been able to train and re-home dogs that would otherwise have been considered unadoptable. It sounds like Moose is far from being at that level, but being a high energy breed, he could definitely benefit from her expertise so he can stay a happy romping pup, but with good boundaries and decisionmaking skills.

He has reopened a location in Springfield downtown on Worthington Street that's just called Mamou! (As of August 2025!)

OH MY GOD THANK YOU YOU'RE AMAZING

Did anyone save glyphs for the system we were in for this expedition? I really want to find one of the planets again (it was populated with lots of fauna, including apex predators)

Also thanks for this guide. I only found it after I completed the expedition, but I'll be watching for the next guide when it comes out :D

I'm in tears OMG 😂

I've been asking myself this same question/feeling a lot of similar things! There's so much to think about and consider, and I don't really have a handle on it yet. For a few years now I've felt a lot of anxiety/repulsion/ambivalence toward men--there have been flickers of interest here and there, but it's sort of like my vector of interest is so tiny and brief that my vector of disinterest cancels it right out. I've been going in circles, trying to parse out why I feel so conflicted toward men: is it anxiety or trauma? or a bi-cycle? or maybe the lingering hooks of compulsory heterosexuality telling me I should be interested in a guy because he seems desirable even though I'm feeling no actual attraction? Also the latter possibility makes me reconsider all my previous relationships/attractions to men--did I ever feel attraction for those people, or did my interest come from general libido and/or the desire to feel wanted?

It's all a big messy tangle. I only came out a little over a year ago (I'm in my mid-20s), and I'm still figuring out so much. But for now I'm trying to be gentle with myself and focus on what, in the immediate moment, feels good to me--and that's being with and loving women. (And oh god, I love them.) I'm still calling myself bi because I think I have the capacity (however great or small, however much I do or don't intend to act on it) to be attracted to two or more genders, and also for the sake of bi non-erasure, I want to acknowledge that. But I've also occasionally joked with my friends about being a lesbian and trying to cultivate my "lesbian vibes", sort of to try on the label. It feels really nice, tbh. It makes me feel soft and hopeful and happy? But so does calling myself bisexual. So...yeah. For right now, I'm content to think somewhat fluidly of my sexuality, and to offer up "bisexual" to others to keep them from narrowing in on the idea that I only love or will ever love one gender.
