Trying to get back to full-time work whilst recovering from depression
There is a particular kind of silence that follows depression; it’s the absence left behind when your old life no longer fits and the new one hasn’t quite formed yet. That’s why I often compare depression with the state of metamorphosis.

Side Quest Goal Achieved: Placing an Alien Claim
This is a post that has me quite ecstatic. It's funny, I thought it was going to be one of my usual, "Hey, I achieved another one of my goals and checked it off" type deals. And it sort of is. But it sort of isn't. And it's also one of my greatest writing accomplishments of late.

🌼This was such a juicy read! Turning these figures into genetically modified lab rats feels like a pointed experiment on their own demise. To answer the rhetorical question in your title: it is hilariously both.
Haha! I loved Pinky and the Brain!
Very fitting. I loved that show!
