shortly after i trapped a possum, a big raccoon decided to pry open my chimney cap and fell in. the sides of the chimney were too slick for it to climb out, so it was just in there making noises for a week. awful. turns out all you need to do is drop in a knotted rope so it can climb out. homie was gone in less than 12 hours. gm

many people give up alcohol at some point and when you ask them why they usually tell you how they don't like how it makes them behave. "i just drink myself sick" "i'll go buy drugs" "i get violent" "i gamble too much" true story: awhile back i was out for the night, drinking and rabblerousing no doubt, and came home around 11. decided to crack open a beer before bed. hopped on amazon, browsed for probably an hour, and eventually passed out. couple days later this shows up at my door 👇😅 so no, i have not given up drinking. of all the decisions i've made in my day this is still probably the least problematic. #bookstr

i'm trying to catch a possum using a (humane, relax) trap baited with marshmallows so the neighbor's cat doesn't get caught. any tips would be appreciated. so far all i have to show for it is fewer marshmallows.

optimization-focused influencers who spent their careers optimizing are still struggling on the dating scene and can't seem to optimize their way into a long-term relationship i won't name names but more than a few i've listened to have been noticeably despondent and frustrated in recent years as you watch them grapple with uncertainty about what exactly they have been optimizing towards

one of my colleagues just came back from a ski trip "with a nasty case of Covid" the year is 2025. people are quatruple vaccinated or somesuch, boosting themselves through the seasons like good pharmaceutical respecters. the argument for this warp-speeded moneymaker evolved from protection to prevention to mere symptom mitigation. and yet, here we are. people asked how she was feeling 2 days later and she said "like i'm on death's door, ha ha" at what point does a person like this pause and reflect? ever?

"It's the slavery of attachment that is hell, not the things themselves that we are attached to. It's a grave error to imagine that by giving up the object of our attachment we become free from the force of attachment itself." —from 'Money and the Meaning of Life,' by Jacob Needleman

i know drinking alcohol isn't cool right now—and it certainly isn't health food to be sure—but for people who spend time drifting across disparate topics and seemingly unrelated subjects it is widely known to serve a kind of mental and conversational lubricant that dislodges overthinking and rumination i see a lot of biblical historical types who have proudly exiled fermented spirits from their lives without acknowledging their presence in every major philosophical, spiritual, and societal revolution in history. which is a it odd tbh. excess is detrimental. indulgence is sinful. but these are behaviors, not a substance. all this to say: i think we're currently in a pendulum swing that is apexing and fixing to swing back

i know this sounds corny but reading is a superpower you can walk into a library or bookstore, grab any book, look at squiggly lines on paper, and have your mind light up with the ideas, concepts, and images of someone in the past you never met literacy is sorcery
