One thing that I loved about Shane also hosting mystery files is that while Ryan is still covering true crime and cryptids, Shane’s mysteries are basically this wild thing happened once and is still confusing to us which is very on brand.

I've seen this before, but it's been years and it just came across my Twitter in its dying days. The words are from a favorite author of mine, Maggie Stiefvater, and they are the words I most need to hear when it comes to dealing with chronic pain and illness. I didn't need this the first time I saw it, six years ago. I need it now. Maybe you do, too.

i dont wanna work. i dont wanna go to school. i wanna sit at home and make art and be comfy. i wanna play with my cat and spend time with my boyfriend. i wanna participate in queer spaces and go to coffee shops with the friends in make. i wanna save my energy for the things i love, so i can create things and go on small hikes and garden and cook. i dont wanna push myself to do things that distress and harm me. i dont wanna be a broken machine. i want to be a happy human.
