everything lately feels like it’s happening in fast-forward

Was journaling the other day and had this exact thought. Trying to decide if I’m just getting older or if things are really different in the world. Seems not that long ago that we were all stuck in covid times and time had slowed to a crawl.

i genuinely miss that time ngl

The Weekly Wrap Up is posted! Links this week include a [word not allowed by Discourse] museum, an essay on the social implication of footwear and how to build an internet resiliency system. I talk about beer flight choices, going to a meeting of like-minded people and my postcarding activism. I also bought some music for Bandcamp Friday. Plus, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.

Why do my description and summaries not work on discourse? It always diverts to my site’s generic preamble.

Thanks for sharing :heart:

Sorry to hear you’re finding things difficult at the moment, particularly when having a mind that works against you compounds what you’re already dealing with.

It is okay not to be okay. Making it through a day at a time is still momentum in the right direction. I hope things improve for your soon.

I don’t like how seemingly unpopular my favourite band are, so I wrote about them.

I love that you shared this. I often feel like I’m the only one in the world who feels like I do because so many people are reluctant to share like this, but this gave me comfort and I hope it also felt cathartic for you!

This sounds like a poppier, punkier Arch Enemy, and Skye Sweetnam reminds me a bit of Alissa White-Gluz. They’re a solid band, but I might need to give them time to grow on me.

I should get back to my blog some day lol

Here I did my best to make Mathematics interesting again by incorporating dog photos. I show you how to make a simple photo filter using a statistics technique called “k-means clustering”. If you aren’t interested in learning any statistics, you should look just for the cute photo of a dog in a yellow rain jacket.

I have been thinking a lot lately about what I want my life to look like, and also “how far I’ve come” since The Accident, even though it always feels like I’m waking up on the same Day 1 after.

Anway I tweaked the blog title and domain name to reflect that:

I love your bento pictures! Back when I used Instagram, documenting my lunches, packed or otherwise, was one of my favorite things to post, and I love seeing what other people pack as well. Bentos in particular are so pleasing to look at, with everything arranged nicely and full of color. Yours look so yummy!

It’s also fun to see them done with Western foods. I love Japanese food as well, but elsewhere we don’t have access to the same stuff, so it’s interesting to see how others adapt them to their cuisine.
