I have changed, though it's hard to know how or why. I no longer need tools to detect the House's veins, to hear it breathe. I can feel its blood churning beneath my bare feet.

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"

I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming

really tragic there was a whole complex fan project to make a xena themed cookbook that while totally insane is completely lacking in two vital xena cookbook concepts which is one a hippie friendly sprouted seeds and nut bread edible for those so insane and health minded they would never let a brownie touch their lips and also as tribute to gabrielle eating the drugged nut bread that makes u gayer in altared states and then a drink that can be served with or without alcohol thats like a mix of every single juice you have in your cupboard called xenas juices subheading can we cook with your juices ok bows and scurries away

obviously sucks that jerma's having health issues and we wish him the best but also him coming back after not streaming for nearly two months and going on genuinely unhinged rants is so fucking funny. why did he do the singing bit for so long. why did he talk about mario becoming a greek god for so long. every time he laughed he sounded like he was genuinely in pain

I didn’t notice this before in the Control AWE dlc but I love that there’s a stack of cans (Ahma beer!) in the Bright Falls room like the random ones in the first game

anyway if you gave mox a nicotine patch and some chewlery you could probably get him to stop smoking

listening to a podcast about the histor of qatar while doing something and realising i knew absolutely nothing about the country beyond the human rights abuses etc. 🫣 like did i know the portugese were there and were ousted by the dutch and british? You'd think so as i live in the netherlands and history education might sometimes be lacking but the VOC usually gets its time in the spotlight. Or about the Ottoman empire time, or about its relations wth the Saudis. But no. No idea. Also had no idea it was rich from pearlfishing before the oil. I may be stupid.👍
