I was making a sandwich around 1:00 AM tonight and realized one of the most detrimental stigmas about healthy eating movement: Everyone believes that healthy food tastes like lettuce and regret. I am here to inform you that healthy food does, in fact, kind of taste a lot like lettuce(It's a food you see a lot) but without the regret. Case in point: my sandwich skills have dramatically increased since I started eating healthier. I went from making a ham and PB sandwich; a combination so mind-boggling one of my friends couldn't comprehend it, to a mustard-lettuce-cheese-pickle-mayo-and-ham sandwich. Look at that, look how many more ingredients I added on just by being inclusive of the green stuff. And the sandwich is bomb too, one of the best I've ever had. So next time you want to put stuff between two slices of bread, don't forget the green.

Monday Monday

We had a nice weekend in a cabin for the solstice. It was relaxing, even after we got home yesterday and decided to continue to chill. Today, it was back on the grind. I didn’t accomplish everything I set out to do today, but I did get a few major paperwork tasks out of the way, and I secured a surprise w-2 temp job for February. Pittsburgh from my car, actually a couple of weeks ago, added for…

It would have taken another immortal to keep up with him.

so i haven't read the books but i did read the Devil's Minion chapter and this part made me laugh out loud:

idk why but i absolutely hate AI generated images of wizards more than any other AI pictures.

i think it's because the sparse pickings of beautifully rendered oil painting tableaus of wizards from the late 20th century (for things like game manuals and fantasy novels) feel like they actually are made of magic to me.

to see those familiar shapes choked and twisted out of the chaotic mess of predicative digital brush strokes is like watching a dying pig's face transform into the face of my weeping mother before it stops moving forever.

There’s a reason why we feel lonely even though we aren’t alone. It’s because loneliness is not about how many friends we have or how many people are in the room with us. It’s a disconnection from others. Being social doesn’t cure loneliness, loneliness comes when there is not a single person close enough to see past the illusion to who we really are and what we really feel inside.

So far, I think we Epic fans have mutually agreed on 3 things:

1) Penelope is taller than Odysseus

2) Polites was holding the infant when he appeared in the Underworld saga

3) Odysseus tucked his hair behind his ear when he sang “Penelope why, you know I’m too shy”

Seeing Logan in the TVA makes me laugh so hard for some reason? Like I know he’s lived to see technology evolve and stuff, but there’s something so funny about a guy from the 1800s standing in some kind of retro-futuristic timey wimey agency to me. Man is confused as hell.

Every couple years or so, the Bats are required to take a group photo to update the JL website (idk why, they are required to take a vigilante group picture), and Jason consistently refuses to show up. So this year, Tim just draws the lines of the Red Hood helmet on a bright red balloon and then floats it between him and Nightwing. They absolutely refuse to acknowledge that it isn't Jason. They put it up on a billboard instead.

Jason finds out about it when he drives back into Gotham and the highway going into the city has a 'Keeping Gotham Safe' billboard and it's a picture of the Bats looking extremely serious with the Red Hood Balloon floating behind them.

'I'm too old to do anythin' like that now,' Simon says, shaking his head.

'But daddy,' whines the little girl standing in front of him, her small hands tugging at his black t-shirt, 'mummy was telling me all about how you a- and my uncles used to save the world and I wanna learn cause I wanna be just like you!'

He lifts his head, spying you standing in the doorway with a bright grin on your face. 'What you tellin' her that for?'

'Because she wants to know how to beat the boys in the street when they're having water fights,' you say, 'thought your military experience would come in handy.'

'They're always laughin' at me,' she pouts, 'and sayin' I can't fight cause I'm a girl.'

There's a switch that is flipped at her confession and when he looks to her and then raises his head to look at you, you swear you're looking at the Lieutenant instead of your husband.

'Is that so?' he asks, to which your daughter nods her head quickly. He holds his hand out to her and she takes it happily. 'We'll teach them to mess with a Riley, ey sweet pea?'

I JUST REALISED!

Jayce maybe accepted his death here, calmly, "facing death with dignity" but...

At the end, he's emotional and gritting his teeth, afraid... obviously, normal emotions to have, but he had such a calm acceptance before, so what changed between? He got Viktor back! Now death is scary again (and life was worth living?) because Viktor is with him.

the most helpful thing i have ever seen from neurodivergent internet spaces is “THERE ARE OTHER TIMES OF DAY TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH”. this has genuinely saved me from executive dysfunction spirals so many times.
