I hope everyone is taking appropriate steps to self-care!? As the image shows, drink some boba, or read a good book, watch a good TV program or play a game, enjoy your life as much as you can. The world can burn some other week, but this week was not that one! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Is this that Boba Cat that everybody was talking about after the gala? I don't understand kids these days.

The other day at the end of an adult alternative music playlist YouTube tried to autoplay and force feed me some of her songs, at first I thought it was still on the playlist and tried to skip but it was just more doja, I haven't felt as disgusted as I did in that moment in a long ass time.

There must be a market for it or else she wouldn't keep doling out that content. Capitalism sells whatever the market will pay for.

Stressful week, good weekend w the family. Tired of worrying about money (like that'll ever change) but I've been reading some Tolstoy stories, watching Lower Decks, and started an Intelligence run in Elden Ring so that's all nice at least.

The president can't mess up my life half as much as I can do that myself... ๐Ÿคช

Lately I'm trying to focus on what I can control, like will I get my ass to the gym or be lazy yet again for X days in a row. ๐Ÿคฌ

Keep telling yourself that. Eventually it's going to be you.

I dunno, you might be underestimating just how much I can mess my life up! :-P

Though only one of those two issues I can actually do anything about, is what I meant. The rest, like climate change, will come as it will, with or without consent.
