Excuse me, low balls simply happen when you get older. It’s a natural facet of aging!

I’ve been fascinated by pterosaurs lately. The book Pterosaurs by Mark P Witton is great.
Pterosaurs interest me because of their wing morphology. Instead of having the wing membrane between all the “fingers” like a bat, it’s attached to their equivalent of a pinky finger in such a way it can fold up enough that they could use all four limbs to navigate on land. They just have such an interesting body shape that no animal today really has.
They also got much bigger than birds. Like, to the point that I want to write a fantasy book where the premise is that dragons are like …the only pterosaur that survived extinction. Because it would be cool to have a dragon that’s directly not related to modern reptiles, birds, or mammals…but still is speculatively based on a flying animal that did once exist.

I got bifocals.
They’re already not strong enough :(

4·19 days agoI went to Costco and got 7 shirts and paid only $38ish total.
Plus $3.05 for a giant slice of pepperoni and a pop.
Downside: I didn’t get the pants I was hoping to find. But oh well.
I thought the ac was broken in my work truck for several days in July because I forgot I had turned the heat on one chilly morning and for some reason my eyes repeatedly didn’t catch that dumb temperature dial still turned to heat. I kept pushing the ac button on and off and then just ended up sweltering because I basically had the heat on in July.
That dumbassery will humble me for a while.

The weird stuff in my experience is due to past crap you haven’t processed, current crap you can’t get away from because you’re a minor or disabled or don’t have a job with money, or a mental thing you’ve not discovered the right way to deal with. OCD for example can give people bad intrusive thoughts about terrible things they nonetheless would never do, it’s not about being a neat freak like pop culture thinks.
Talking with someone can help.
Personally, I’m a writer and there’s supposedly evidence out there that bibliotherapy can help.
Didn’t the FBI already say shit about bombing California?
Given every accusation is a confession with the GoP I immediately figured they were going to do it themselves and blame Iran. And that California was chosen to try to scare it into line, much like other blue states have been targeted by the current administration.
