This is fairly common in both depression and ADHD, so maybe check on them? Like, make sure they are personally okay. Someone who needs to be consistently stimulated is probably uncomfortable at rest. Being bored all the time is something I struggle with personally. I have ADHD and depression and trauma. Addressing and working on those things helps immensely with the chronic boredom. When I’m more depressed or anxious, I’m more easily bored and crave more stimulation. So, yeah, play Ted Lasso and check in on them.

DO NOT ADD ANOTHER PERSON BECAUSE OF YOUR FAILING RELATIONSHIP

It’s insane to me that this apparently must be said by multiple people with massive emphasis. We only considered this because our relationship was and still is so strong. We just met really young and have a lot of love to give. I don’t want to lose my wife or have had only one great romance in my life. She didn’t want marrying a woman to mean she would never experience men again. So we share the incredible bounty of love in which we live.

Those arrested included two Ukrainians, one of them an Orthodox Church priest, and three Spaniards.

It was removed from the country in 2016 and priests were smuggling it. I had hoped to be able to be forgiving of someone in a desperate situation related to war x_x

Both of the responses to this seem to assume that my love of tomatoes comes from Italy or Italian culture. It comes from the American deep south, much closer to where tomatoes actually come from. Adding oil or extra ingredients takes away from the moist, cooling nature of a tomato on a hot summer day. A tomato is bursting with refreshment. All you gotta do is let it out.

East Coast Its isn’t any kind of serialized or contiguous, but it is free and great. On the opposite end of the spectrum, here’s a free unofficial translation of One Punch Man, which is highly serialized and contiguous.

I’m not a tomato snob. All tomatoes are good tomatoes. A fancy tomato to me is pretty much anything you can’t regularly get in any old grocery store. Go into any fancy supermarket or natural grocery store and get any tomato that looks more interesting than your average tomato. I’ll get excited about it.

No favorite. All tomatoes are good tomatoes. Raw, sliced, lightly salted, maybe a a little pepper or paprika.

Tbh I’m not really a cheese girl. Give me fancy tomatoes. Fancy tomatoes will hold my attention.

I guess piano, because I got a free piano off the streets. I could look up videos and lessons, but I’m kind of self conscious about practicing on a real whole god damn piano in an apartment building with neighbors in every direction. I also just don’t like to make a lot of noise. I should price an electronic keyboard I can pair with Bluetooth headphones to practice in perfect silence and privacy sometimes.

Can’t replay embarrassing memories from your childhood if most of your childhood is truama fog! *jabs head with pointer finger with aggression*

Upwards of 1000mg thc in edibles. Unless I’m on death row in the deep south, they probably can’t get gumbo good enough for my last meal >_>

There is a deep, deep love for Springsteen in Americana and country. Elizabeth Moen does whole Springsteen shows dressed up like him and everything. Anyone who doesn’t see the depth in his lyrics isn’t looking. And Little Mazarn is probably my favorite band. I prefer their original songs, but awkward banjo girl and Jeff with the singing saw are a religious experience for me.

Oh god so many I could ruin this post. Music is my most important processing art, and many of the musicians I listen to are very important to me. So I’ll limit myself:

"We took a weekend, drove to Provo.

The snow was white and fluffy.

A weekend in Utah won’t fix what’s wrong with us

The grey sky was vast and real cryptic above me."

The Mountain Goats ~ The Mess Inside.

Because the work to get better and overcome truama isn’t easy or short. I’ve done a lot of wonderful things with my wife, and we’ve both come incredibly far from our truamas. But most of the nice things we’ve done had very little impact on that recovery. To paraphrase a Ray Ramano bit from SNL, you’re still gonna be you in Italy.

“I don’t fall in love, I plummet.” ~Ashley Virginia ~I Don’t Fall in Love

“You can’t stay everywhere you leave a piece of your heart.” ~Little Mazarn ~Vermont

These two go together. I fall in love–with people, places, things, experiences–with abandon. I can be slow to let things in, especially people, because once I do it is quickly a no holds barred environment. It’s what the Uhaul key on my necklace means. Because of that, I can’t stay everywhere or keep everyone I love. I have to know when and what to let go, when and where to hold on.

Finally I guess I’m gonna wholly belie all notions of brevity with a whole god damn Diane Cluck song:

"Somethin’ loosened around my heart

From where it was bound, it fluttered around

This funny motion first mistaken as attack

I realize and step back

With real eyes, I step back

And let it happen

Knitted so snug inside my chest

Iron lungs, ribs as rungs

Those who care to try and climb me

Sometimes say it’s hard to find me

Still, in reflex, I would shout

When I began spilling out

Weeping clearly as a blister

"Hey, I’m here, " you almost missed her

And I have so much for you (Na-na-na-na-na-na)

Do you know how I get shy to show you?

I fill up, tender, with a glow (Na-na-na-na-na-na)

Fluff and puff as I try to show you

Display my falling feathers

As they leave me in this weather

The days, they go so quickly

Can’t even stop them

Don’t even want to"

Diane Cluck ~Heartloose

I usually have to listen to this song twice. It’s so short, but so dense. Every bit of it shakes me. I don’t have time to enumerate the ways this song applies, appeals, affects, and relates to me. Diane Cluck is so important to me.

You ever heat the Little Mazarn version of that song? Lindsey Verril just breaks me.

I have so many questions for and about bacteria. Can I choose a sort of akashic universal bacterial conscious? I could pick a family or something if I have to be more specific, but I nerd to know about bacteria.

When people and places that should be dirty are clean and kempt. Pirates on the seas should be dirty. Soldiers in the field should be dirty. Cowboys on a cattle drive should be dirty. Swamp cultists should be dirty. I appreciate realistically dirty characters. It distracts me every time when characters are clean and showered with their hair done on day three of being lost in the woods or some shit. It’s one of the many things Our Flag Means Death nails. Even Stede gets grimy, because piracy is grimy work.

It’s an alternative user interface.

<3 My 100% Merino Wool Aran Crafts coat. This is a shameless unpaid advertisement. My coat is an absolute treasure. I mostly shop used clothing, and my coat is used. I’m athletic and outdoorsy, and it’s still hard to find quality, durable clothing. I’m lucky enough to generally like the asthetics of sturdy clothes, but I still have to pick around the crap. I’m also lucky enough to be of a shape and size that gives me many different options while thrifting, so I can be picky and find good clothes, but even I sometimes leave Goodwill disappointed and hoping for better luck next time. I gotta get pants for this winter, like a whole new pants selection. Hopefully it’s not too painful.

Not the point the (honestly fucking terrible) article was making, but this never would have happened at a formal dispensary. NY needs to get its shit together. They’ve created a system where the poor are still stuck in a dangerous illegal system while those with time and money to get across the city get to enjoy a safe and comfortable experience. My city of ~160k in the Midwest has more legal dispensaries than NYC. Answering detailed questions is part of it, and I guarantee that at least my dispensary is a safe space for trans people.

My Discordianism is explicitly scienctific. There isn’t a scientific theory or study or concept I’m aware of that is incompatible with my interpretation of Discordian teaching. Discordianism was initially developed by a computer scientist. Idk what disorganized religions you have experienced, but Discordianism has always been rooted in scientific thought. It was always intended to be a quantum physics compatible system of belief, a disruptive philosophical response to the disruptive scientific discoveries of the 20th century.
