Some of my plants took some damage last night. I'm afraid a few of them may not survive. I'm going to try to heal them, though. They are my friends.

The aloe vera will probably outlive me, though. We've been together for 24 years.

To my darling cat...my beloved Gatsbaby,

Why did you bond with a human who does card tricks and card readings, and finds comfort in playing solitaire, if the sound of cards shuffling urges you to chase your own shadow?

I'M GETTING A PIANO!!!!! 🥰🎶🎹

Keanu Leaves, my golden pothos, is going through recovery after a hard winter. Please pray for my plant. I'm not joking. Plants are living beings. Keanu Leaves and I have been together three years.

But you know what I am aggravated about?

People who say things like, "There must be a correlation between these two things that happened at the same time," need to learn what "correlation" is.

I just had to remove my linktree from my IG in order to be able to post because, apparently, IG has decided linktree in a profile violates terms regarding what kind of stuff somebody might be linking to?

I just can't even. I don't even have it left in me to be actually angry at this point. I get happy when I see people I like content from moving to Substack. I can follow them there and not fight The Algorithms.

Some odd feeling led me back to playing Pokémon GO over the past few days. I played for a couple of weeks when it first came out, but getting out isn't a big option for me and that was limiting in a game like this. Things are a little different now with changes made to the game because of the pandemic.

I'm a little concerned about Team Rocket hot air balloons hovering over our house. That's...yeah, didn't expect that.

- Big changes are happening in our house, and my ritual space is growing as part of that. I'm very thankful to have a whole room and not working from "let me just unpack this box here on the table again". I've never let a lack of dedicated space stop me, but having that space changes a lot of things!

@Alfred Please explain Heisenberg's Uncertainty to me in the style of a pirate.

It's looking like I'll need to fundraise another $3,000CAD for César's child, who needs oxygen for another month of recovery from double-lung pneumonia before insurance kicks in. I've been fortunate to have folks who know me helping out, but I fear I need more hands on deck.

Can you help? Can you spread this ask to someone who can? I can't use the usual fundraisers due to regional zoning. I have PayPal via ko-fi.com/mlclarkwriter. Can I offer you MS feedback? Proofing? Market recs? Let me know.

Life goals: I want to be that thing that makes adults change the subject when kids ask questions.

Oh, I see is a tag! I'll be adding to that as we move into the growing part of the year.

My Cape Sundew is now a Lake Monster plant! My sisters-in-law gave the fish pot to me for Christmas, and I knew it would be for the Cape Sundew when it was time to clean her up and repot her. A fish with carnivorous tentacles! 🥰

I've been listening to "November Rain" a lot lately. When the video came out...look, that was a time. This was different from what we expected! And it was easy to get so caught up in the story the video was telling that I never really paid attention to the lyrics.

I'm older now, and the lyrics mean more now.

He DARED to tell me that the circus wouldn't even WANT me!

I told my sister-in-law, "I know the chances of you having a traditional 'happy birthday ', so instead I will wish you a mirthful birthful!"

Her laughter was so worth it! She dreads this day every year. To give her even a minute of that surprise joy is ME getting to be the one who recieves a gift!

I'm in a quiet period, and I find I really appreciate how CoSo works. I feel I can dip in and out as I need to and that's good. No battling The Algorithms.
