I read two books after years of not reading for pleasure. I started tracking my food and trying to get enough protein after some chaotic months. Trying to ingest enough sodium to keep my POTS in check. I painted two things, after not painting for 8 years! I’ve been trying to keep ‘unproductive’ screentime down. (Movies and shows I haven’t seen before are fine, scrolling on my phone forever is not). I still waste hours on my phone when I’m fatigued but I’m more mindful about what I do when I feel able

Couple weeks ago I helped a friend escape a DV situation too, although it wasn’t a “house and a farm”, more of an “apartment”. Still, he had wrecked the place so my spouse and I spent a week cleaning it and organizing my friend’s stuff (and my spouse continued for another week after I had to go back to work). We found evidence of a lot of horrible shit this guy did that he left behind, but our friend didn’t want to harm him or something so we respected her wishes on that not going to the police. (Who probably wouldn’t have done anything anyways)

It was exhausting, emotionally draining, hard work but I was glad to do it, I imagine you feel similarly

Yeah!! I loved it. He’s so good in that one!

Right now my favorite movie is Synecdoche, New York. I don’t think I ever felt so deeply connected to a piece of art before. It’s morbid yet oddly comforting, and my brain chemistry has been permanently altered after seeing it.

I’m in my Kaufman era which began with me and my wife watching Being John Malkovich (which is also pretty damn good imo). And I’m obsessed. He’s reinvigorated my love of cinema in a big way! I feel embarrassed it took me so long to watch his stuff but I think it came to me at the right time in my life

I’m an atheist, and gay, and I just feel like “haha, you’re a good neighbor so here’s a flag for something that I’m going to ASSUME you’re a hateful bigot instead of actually getting to know you” is kinda bad

it also doesn’t really promote community. Idk, I don’t like it. I’m nice to christians even though some of them are cruel to me, because they’re not all the same. This kind of behavior reeks of “I just discovered atheism as a concept” type thing you see from teenagers. Grow up, be a good human.

No one’s afraid to say anything so much as you seem really annoying. But I’m also annoying, so I’ll say something.

That’s lame as hell, regardless of their religion. You don’t know that they’re homophobic and they also did something nice for OP. Why would you give them something intended to annoy them, that they probably can’t use, as a gift? Just stupid.
