If you white knuckle past the point of burnout, you eventually start getting out of bed again to do hobbies. But only hobbies that feel useful and needed, and only if done feverishly so your brain can't dwell on feeling burnt out and all the fun is gone. Dunno, maybe it's just me ¯\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Disclaimer: It doesn't go so well for people who wish to remain employed :/

Yeah, it's the pressure of needing tasks completed immediately and the obvious importance/need to remove the stress-causing thing.

It's a perfect recipe for hyperfocus and also why I can't set my own deadlines--because I know it's all wibbly wobbly when there isn't a hard deadline from an external source. I'd be rich if I had a dollar for every time I wished someone would just tell me when something is needed instead of asking me to give an estimate.

If the task feels like boring busy work or bullshit and no one told me otherwise, you've got fuckall chance it's getting done.

If I have to see a thousand posts about Trump listening to music at a rally for thirty minutes or Elon's stupid taxi, then goddamn it, I can enjoy watching a somewhat progressive up-and-comer and a midwestern treasure be humans for five minutes.

If you don't like any of the above, you're in for a shock if you want to follow literally any news feed.

This is adorable. I love his commentary.

Oh, it is already that time of the week where the media pushes this as new information?

Wake me up when his drafty attic actually results in removal from the Republican ticket or breaks through the Republican voter information blockade.

Don't forget that showing up BETWEEN ELECTIONS to shape your local political scene is how real, long-term change in politics is accomplished.

I wonder how many of these people who claim they can't vote for Harris because they "need to teach the Democratic Party a lesson" have participated in primary elections or attended local party meetings to affect change.

I know that sleeping on your left side is best for heartburn due to the way our stomachs are oriented.

Not sure about other reasons. I like side sleeping with a pillow between my legs for my shitty back pain, but maybe that's just me.

And I'm going to add something that helps me talk to my therapist: "If it's mentionable, it's manageable."

After you've tried to deal with something yourself and haven't succeeded, telling someone about what's going on, no matter how unimportant or embarrassing or burdensome or shameful it feels, is the first step to living a life of contentment.

The most righteous tithing.

n+1 here, but I'm a bi woman married to a straight man and I've started using partner more recently because there's a lot of baggage in the history of power dynamics associated with the titles of husband and wife.

I also hope it makes people think for a minute if they need to ask me clarifying questions about my marriage status or sexuality/how the person I'm married to identifies.

At the same time, I totally understand the impact of not using generic words when it comes to gay marriage, where there was such a long fight to be recognized as husband and husband. So cheers to you and your husband!

I started in order to advance the deep state woke agenda and get paid by Soros, personally.

You're right about the leather processing. I didn't consider that.

I heard there's a new mushroom-based leather alternative that will hopefully get traction.
