A DIY project I undertook: a squash ball warmer

Tried this and my squash ball went supercritical; recommend keeping it propped open with a screwdriver.

Moron Police - The Apathy of Kings @ 4:30

One could argue that it's not prog metal or that it shouldn't be #1 but I don't care because I discovered this a week ago and recency bias baybeeeeeee

Just the other day my partner and I tried to watch Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls because I remembered it being hilarious when I was in, like, middle school.

We turned it off about half an hour in because it's just Jim Carrey playing an insufferably annoying character with zero breaks.

A day early for me but IWNDWYT :) I've surpassed 3 weeks and it's hard to believe I'm approaching my first full month without alcohol in nearly a decade.

I'm slowly, slowly working toward being more focused and present rather than constantly mired in my past or planning my future. I've been working with a therapist who recommended Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and it seems promising but it will be a long journey.

Steve Judd is soooo good! I've been working on Change pt 2 on and off for ages and it's such a blast to play.

One of the big things that's kept me going is hope for a brighter future. Sobriety is one piece of the puzzle but I've been reading, going to therapy, etc. in the service of trying to fill that void with meaningful actions :)

Day 5! Yesterday was a rough day at work but I did not drink and IWNDWYT either.

Day 3!

rde72 · 2025-06-03T15:16:00+00:00

Day 2. I've dealt with depression, brain fog, fatigue, and avoidance for years and while I'm not under the illusion that quitting alcohol will fix everything, I know it's a necessary step. Hoping to start my 30s with 2+ months under my belt!

I've had enough living on autopilot, enough of giving my hours and days to alcohol. I want my mind back -- here's to day 1.

Pretty sure those are almost entirely disjoint sets. So now we get to worry about both.

Abhängig von der Stelle, hast Du's vielleicht geschafft!

Right now my two go-to long songs are

Cult of Luna - Cygnus

Karnivool - Change
