Revival
Aaron lay on his cot, in the last dry corner of the cabin, wrapped in a couple of threadbare blankets and an old bear skin trying to escape the cold. He listened to the plunk, plunk, plunk sound that each drop of water made as it dripped from the leaking ceiling into buckets scattered around the dilapidated one-room shack he called home. He collected water from melting snow on the roof to use for cooking and drinking. The fire had died while he was sleeping, and just the thought of exposing himself to the cold cabin air sent shivers up his spine. Wind whistled between the rough-hewn planks that served as walls.

Dog Thirteen, Eeyore
Eeyore June 19, 2023 Almost all my litter mates are gone now, and I understand what is happening. We are all going to new humans. I don’t know what happens when we go with new humans, but I know that new humans come, they look at us all very closely, they pick us up, handle us in a variety of ways- some nice, some not nice- and either put us back in our area, or say, “I’ll take him!” Or her. Depending on the dog. Everyone keeps putting me back in the area, and I don’t know how I feel about that. I have some confusing feelings about the whole matter.

NASA Just Dropped a New Image of an Alien Planet Only 12 Light-Years Away!
A First for the James Webb Space Telescope This is super exciting because it’s the first time the JWST has imaged an exoplanet that hadn’t already been spotted with ground-based telescopes. Exoplanets, in case you didn’t know, are planets that orbit stars other than our sun. Almost all of the 5,000 known exoplanets have been found indirectly using the transit method, which detects changes in a star’s light as a planet crosses in front of it. But fewer than 25 exoplanets have been directly imaged, which means we actually see them as a bright dot near their star. How cool is that?

unsubscribed.
7:00 Am Literal zombies get more sleep than I did last night. I’m not going to lie, getting that text message completely freaked me out. I had been restless all night, and after an already unusually stressful day previous, I was completely racked when I woke up. I forced myself to sit up.

To all my fellow creators
Why do you share your work and journey with your social network? Nobody cares about what you do in your life. ⏩This! How often do we come across this statement? The argument for instant gratification that we gain while sharing glimpses or content about our journeys being detrimental for us, in the long run, is completely valid. The validation that we crave from external realms often stems from a lower sense of self-esteem.

Arcane Pathfinder. Content Warning.
Chapter 1 — “Blue Grass?” Sam yawned as she sat up, rubbing her eyes, “Man, what a good night’s sleep! I don’t remember sleeping that good in…forever.” Opening her eyes, she looked over to see what time it was and, “What the hell?
