This and when there’s a belt holding everything together is also probably a good place to try to hit with a sword.
Every time I see a JRPG protagonist whose entire outfit is apparently held together by a single enormous zipper with a pull-tab the size of a soda can dangling from their chest, I have to wonder if any of their opponents in battle ever decide to just grab that thing and yank.
This hits different when you have multiple mental health issues and one of them counts as a disease.
most annoying “neurodivergent” people are people who are like “brain damage isn’t neurodivergent that’s acquired” “epilepsy isn’t a neurodivergent that’s a disease” “schizophrenia isn’t neurodivergent it’s a mental illness”. what part of diverges from the supposed normal do you not get. i’m going to hit you.

When I say "connect with nature" I don't just mean the aesthetic forests with deer and beautiful flowers.
I mean the weeds growing through concrete, the fungus that grows on the rotten shed, the nettles that always seem to return and the scary, spindly cellar spider in the corner of the bathroom.
Nature is not always pretty or magical - the pigeons and seagulls you swat at are nature too, the wasps and flies that hover by your meals are animals too, store-bought strawberries and the leaves that fall from your neighbour's tree are not all that different from the Giant Sequoias and it's seeds.
If you want to connect and understand nature, I mean *really* connect to it, in it's entirety, you have to seek out and learn about the ugly, scary and mundane things as well. You don't have to like it, just don't forget that it's there.

I kinda lived half of 2023 (maybe more) like a drowning rat in a bucket but this year I'll live like a normal rat. outside of a bucket
