I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

We just held her funeral.

At night, when the wildflowers bloom. An old Cirpritine superstition. Your spirit can’t reach safe passage without them. The flowers guide the spirits back to the grounds of Palaven for final rest. 

I’ve never seen the fields fuller than they were tonight.

On Omega, I thought I was going to die there and be stuck to haunt that rock.  Not exactly a lot of flowers flourish there. Thankfully I had you to pull me out.

I wish you were here with me now, Shepard.

It makes me happy when they listen

Full offense, but I think milk substitution charges should not exist at coffee shops. It is NOT my or anyone's fault that they cannot have dairy and that's that.

absolutely, get peer reviewed

I had to stop eating wheat in 2018, so I genuinely stopped for a minute and thought "this can't be true."

But I found sources verifying the numbers and now I'm going through a bunch of common items and their comparative prices.

Eggs in 2018: $1.76 ($2.26 when adjusted for inflation)

Eggs in 2024: $2.99 on average

Boneless chicken breast per pound in 2018: $3.14/pound

Boneless chicken breast per pound in 2024: $4.10/pound

Childcare in 2018: up to $10,408/year on average

Childcare in 2024: up to $14,760/year on average

Rent for 2bd housing in 2018: about $1250/month on average

Rent for 2bd housing in 2024: about $2000/month on average

Many of these are BIG jumps for just six years, and inflation really doesn't account for all of it. Even as aware as I am that things cost more now than they used to, it was jarring to see how MUCH more.

For an extra headfuck, this happened just after my salary doubled when I got my postdoc job. It was, uh, enraging.

Tech bros who think digital is forever and that uploading your consciousness to a computer is immortality crack me up. Like bro, you'd be "immortal" on the computer for like a year until your own company sends out some software update that makes you incompatible and whoops, there goes TechBro.soul into the great Recycling Bin in the sky
