@senanthic@mstdn.ca Instead we have the absurd situation where I need to rotate daily between different colours of the same comfortable t-shirt so that I look sufficiently different any time I’m (horrifyingly) called upon to be on a work video call. /indignant splutter

Awkwardly speaking with a neighbour whose name I’ve forgotten, giving their dog pets, asking its name, hearing and even _repeating it aloud_… while only ever consciously thinking, ‘I’m doing it, I’m correctly having a human interaction’. The dog’s name lost forever along with its owner’s.

@RollleafD@dice.camp Aaah, the wild coincidence, I've been holding on to that Ork nob I'm using for ages because I just loved his big and little metal hands (weirdly now thinking of the Simpson’s, “I'm tired of these jokes about my giant hand, the first such incident…”)! Was scared to touch it in case I never finished it. If you love that palette and enjoy painting with it, I definitely put my vote in for chucking that self restraint into the sea! And thank you 🥰, I was surprised it came out so green!
