All right all you Hoopy Froods grab your towels, and be ready to celebrate the man who taught us just how useful they could be.
I describe this book when people ask me about my beliefs.
the man had a way with words that none can match really.
I need to find some lilac for Terry Pratchett, his day tomorrow too.
Significant crossover in the fandoms and all.
We're gearing up for an adventure in the RRR household.
Our eldest will graduate from high school this Saturday and on Sunday we will start a road trip out to the Southwest to see the Grand Canyon and much much more.
We'll be driving through Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas - following some of the old Route 66, cross into New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and come back via Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and back through Tennessee. Phew!
I'm going to be offline and almost completely unplugged from Friday for about 2 weeks - I'm even taking my old film 35mm camera for pictures.
I'm here until Friday, but if I don't say bye before then, take care, see you soon, have fun y'all!
Rupert 💕💕
[not my pic, but I didn't want to write that on a reblog on somebody else's post]
Libraries with a sense of humour.
Let Max in.
I could go for a heart donut.
As my aunt would say, "have a LOT, take two!"
This is a goody. Direct and not long an article, and I think many pointers into the right directions to make changes.

I'm much more about those than #4 these days, although 4 still is a factor because hey, I'll totally admit to some vanity :)
The author wrote “I wish we never had to talk with kids about any of these aberrant behaviors. But we have to do so because kids have a right to have accurate information that can keep them healthy and safe. They need to know how to get help to make any abusive behavior stop.”
This is why we don’t ban books you fascist assholes.
Did you eat? (I love you) I bought the bread you like (I love you) I noticed you were upset so I brought you tea (I love you) I made this for you (I love you) I know you have a lot of work and can't talk now so I will leave this thing you like around (I love you) I did your chores (I love you) I will sit by in case you need anything (I love you. I love you. I love you)
Somehow my brain has managed to unlock a whole new level of anxiety/unhappiness. I cannot sleep to save my life.
In the end I did a little tumblr scrolling to distract my brain, and in the process I identified a couple of triggers. So with that and a little time and some exhaustion, I went back to bed and slept pretty well. This morning I feel much better.
@inthewoodsbesidethesea Yes, I think some herbal tea sounds like a good idea :)
I have to remember every 5 years that when I was a little kid my dad was having obsessive spirals about things he did wrong like 30 years prior and his talked to his therapist about it and you know what they did NOT say. They did not say "hmmm well have you learned your lesson changed your behavior and atoned?"
They said "that sounds like a really unhelpful and distressing thing that your brain is making you think about All The Time. How about when that happens you try to think about something that makes you happy instead"
(My dad carried a picture of me at age 4 with a large inflatable dinosaur in his wallet for this purpose) (hard to ruminate about past failures when looking at a picture of your kid enjoying a large inflatable dinosaur)
Anyway. Fucking... stop thinking you can Solve Ethics by spiraling you fool. It's the Ethics Cuckoo. Fuck that guy

Something about a fine, well-spoken, respectful and witty man 🤤
First haircut in 10 weeks which feels like an eternity!
Time to go home, cook, get in a quick workout, eat and then put my feet up for a read - doing some research for our road trip which is less than two weeks away.
