“Some DIY is fun, some is stuff we do by mistake because ‘well how hard can it be anyway?’ and it teaches us a lot for the next project. The rest we do purely to spite ourselves, because we should be able to do it, damnit!”
-thing I said to a friend who asked why I was putting so much effort on myself when I could just buy a flat-pack for the same cost and 99% less effort.
Those look neat, I didn’t know baby blue beetles existed! (I’m not super surprised by that since they also come in gold, and there are more beetle varieties than anything else, but still)
Thanks for sharing!
Do you have the ones where you are definitely an adult, your current self, and still getting shunted back to highschool? I’ve had those, try as you like to explain it nobody believes you…
I don’t have dreams of being a kid but I occasionally have one like that as adult me… it’s kinda trippy.
My recurring stress dream is someone chasing me and it’s like I’m running into a gale force wind, try as hard as I might I can barely move. I’ll be tipped forward struggling to put force into my legs and just, no result. Each foot goes down right where I picked it up from, or maybe a few inches forward.
Then of course they catch me, and my ability to fight back is equally shit, like full force punch barely grazes them sort of stuff.
I’m fairly certain it’s all due to the lack of actual bodily response in my sleeping self, because I’m pretty aware of that sort of thing (I’ve used my pulse to determine lucid dreaming status for decades, as it doesn’t exist in dreams, and on the occasions I’ve tried to wake myself from them I can feel the sleep paralysis preventing willful movement)

You can get a yeast infection anywhere damp and warm. :)
