I got stupidly high and watched a documentary about climate change. In short, poorly.

Was active Mormon 4 years ago... It's impressive how much alcohol helps the human condition. Sunday day drinking is the best. Cheers

I took a nice long walk in beautiful Fall weather in a place that's abundant with life bloomer

I then saw a fucking ZYBERTRUKKK going past me. doomer

I tried to do similar except skating but then I got halfway round and the wind bout blew me over. It was then that I realized I would have to skate face first into the wind the rest of the way. I'm not sure how I survived.

I can't help thinking of this. I feel guilty.

I don’t drink at all (raised muslim) but indulge in some good herb. Keeps me sane living in Texas. I hide from people here constantly , everyone’s got a weird brain worm and a stick in their ass here. It’s scary to even see people gravitating to wanting to live here because of its reputation; mildly liberal at best, staunchly alt right at worst, and a mecca of “new money”. Fucking gross. Anyways I just started disco elysium

I'm also stuck in Texas. Living in the hellscape that is the Panhandle sort of requires having weed on hand.

I consume a lot of media and usually get blazed and play video games with a friend once a week.

We all gotta do what we can. If you're hanging in there then keep on doing what you're doing it's working

I sort of did the day drinking thing yesterday but it was more to help ground me from overstimulation. I'm forcing myself to go out of my comfort zone and started helping out with our local Food Not Bombs. Yesterday was my first day and I have severe social anxiety but like everyone was super chill and I got through it. But I got home at 4 and was like "Christ I need a beer" lol.

That sounds awesome. And hey if that's the reward for doing good work more power to you

I modded bg3 so much that it's crashing but I've replayed every major Metroid except Prime 2 because I can't be bothered to dig out my GameCube controller and usb adapter

But that might change
