#love ethics

The experience of telling someone how you feel, and it being met with earnestness and seriousness, is one of the greatest gifts of being alive and in relation with others.

Clocking in for #noexcusenovember @m0tiv8me

Morning no looking at phone-- ✓

Meditation--✓

25 minutes of abs & arms-- ✓. Here's a video of me trying to do 2:50 seconds of plank, struggling and ultimately failing. But, I almossst had it. This workout was sluggish in general. It's evident to me that I'm real good at doing the easier things--the things i like, such as walking 'til my feet ache--but putting in work with weights is so hard for me because it is much, much harder. trying to train the resistance out of myself. or something. my form during a lot of this is not the best. i tried tho hehe.

6 mile hike--✓. Or just about. I clocked in at about 5.7 miles, but I'm ganna count it.

I wore my new pjay top that I'm obsessed with on my walk. So cozy.

Cutest thing I saw was an adorable man tryna walk his dog, insisting we go this way! we go this way! But Dog decided no, bub, we are going THIS way and led him in the opposite direction. who's walking who, I asked.

Found a gorgeous swing that does NOT squeak when you use it. Had a friggen blast on it.

Home to my heating pad (which I'm sharing with the cats, of course); a gorgeous salad with ground turkey meat and some pickles on the side; christmas lights; a late cup of coffee & nada, which is a fun and gorgeously filmed show: a real ode to cooking and food, which I have been thinking about a lot lately.

Ex-husband is coming tomorrow to say his goodbye's to Oli, and to grab the few items remaining of his that I did not throw away. An act of grace and humility on both ends. I hope we can spend some good and healthy time together, and maybe talk a bit more about anything else that needs saying.

Never imagined I'd ever see him again. This year continues to be my teacher. This year continues to instruct.

saying “visual style" because, for example, if you would swap your current wardrobe for an identical, ethically made counterpart, there would be no visible change

dropout is a streaming service created out of sheer necessity that releases television quality content every single weekday, built on a 25 year old brand and the experience of said brand's long time business savvy nepo baby ceo with an insane network of connections and populated by a large cast of professional comedians and actors. and somehow youtube channels with like 3-8 people who got here by accident through sheer personality think they can charge the same or even more than dropout for access to a back catalog and one video a week if you're lucky. dropout had been a company for 15 years with an established, diverse and very experienced cast and were enough of a brand to succeed at the launch of a streaming service. i'm very worried that these new channels simply aren't.

reading what happened to season two of 'the real adventures of johnny quest' really is like. the nightmare fucking scenario. you make one season of a show where you try to bring back an old pulp show but turn it into something grounded and cool without the racism or sexism but with real cool science, and then season two they just hand it over to some guys who are like "yeah we're going to bring the racism and sexism back, also real science sucks so everything is magic now"

The idea of Riley introducing Arcade to Yes Man has been eating my head for ages- It's gotta be the most awkward first meeting imaginable.

Basic rundown: Shortly after first visiting the Legion Fort, pissing off Caesar and retrieving the platinum chip, Riley decides to open up to Arcade about what he found in Benny's suite after he initially ran off: a new friend with a potential plan to throw all major parties out of New Vegas. So he promises to eventually introduce the two, and imagine Arcade's surprise (or lack thereof) when this 'friend' turns out to be a giant reprogrammed securitron robot.

First impressions are... interesting. I feel like Arcade would definitely be a little unnerved at first, but surprised at the potential for an independent Vegas.

anyway james and lily potter were husband and wife and their love saved the world and their son! their bond and love with sirius black was so strong he broke out of azkaban to protect their child! they're some of the bravest most loving people in the series and they dgaf about reg/ulus black!

time to sit in the dark with candles lit & cry about how grateful I am that my life looks the way it does. I am so moved.

In the crystalline knowledge of you.

#noexcusenovember update @m0tiv8me: today was successful. I woke early & did not lay in bed scrolling. Instead, I took coffee & a blanket to the couch, read some poems and a bit of the doing nothing book I'm reading. Meditated with my crystals & sound bowl (which Oli loves & always comes laying near me to hear). Got a bunch of grading done & finally crossed off following up on a student's incomplete by working on her submissions, too.

Got my six miles in. Did three different trails: one easy, one difficult, and one that I walked as the sun had set (see also: hiking in the woods, in the mf dark). Wasn't a huge fan of the hiking in the dark piece, but was determined to get my miles in. & in the end it was all gorgeous: autumn colors, smells, the sunset spilling across the expanse of earth just beyond the ridge. I'm so glad I went.

Oli's breathing is becoming more labored. It's become apparent that a month left with him, per the vet, might not even be possible. It's time to sit with the difficult decision of when to let him go.

In some ways, #noexcusenovember is a way for me to dissociate and distract myself. In some ways, having these goals has already, in the last few days, encouraged me to think beyond my grief.

Re: your most recent ask YESSS SAY UT LOUDER!!!!!!!! BRUCE LITERALLY STOOD BY HIS PARENTS MURDERER'S BEDSIDE WHILE HE DIED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE WHO WOULD!!!!! BATMANS COMPASSION AND EMPATHY IS SUPPOSED TO DEFY BELIEF, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE BEYOND COMPREHENSION!!!!! HE IS THE LODESTONE FOR EVERY ROBIN, THEIR GROUNDING FORCE, THEIR MORAL TRUE NORTH!!!!!

Yeah!!! To me, Bruce is not moral creature. He’s a virtuous creature

[philosophybits]

Boundless compassion for all living beings is the surest and most certain guarantee of pure moral conduct, and needs no casuistry. Whoever is filled with it will assuredly injure no one, do harm to no one, encroach on no man's rights; he will rather have regard for every one, forgive every one, help every one as far as he can, and all his actions will bear the stamp of justice and loving-kindness.
