insomniac thoughts and links
I started this when I was awake at night, although I'm though I'm finishing it in the day. Things always seem much better in the morning (which can make waiting for sleep even more frustrating).
I want to add a more custom theme back to this blog. I've also recently added a directory page for stuff like newsletter recs and text posts I relate to... I plan to add a quotes page as well.
I'm banning myself from film pictures until I improve at photography. It's too expensive. And it's embarrassing imagining the staff developing my lopsided and underexposed attempts.
I wish there was an Instagram just for ASMR
I was really staggered by cat's have no lord's post about their grandmother, the flesh is weak. My own Gran is currently dying of terminal lung cancer, and although my relationship with her is different this really struck me personally as a unique way of writing about death and the feelings surrounding it. Please heed the content warnings.
I started writing this while sitting with my grandmother at her deathbed as she alternates endlessly between sleep and terminal restlessness. This is a way of processing the complicated feelings of not particularly liking her as a person but also not wishing what sheβs going through on anyone.
Stumbled on ribo.zone's 32bit cafe site submission for destination vactaion, Fishing mini game world tour. This made me want to do something similar for places I liked to "hang out" in in video games, which weren't necessarily made for that... when I had time as a kid. Subrosia from zelda, oracle of season comes to mind. I used to go back there and take Rosa on "dates" and hang out with the pirates.
