My name is Patrick and it’s been so many days/weeks/months since I intentionally used generative AI for anything I can’t even do this “last accident” riff correctly.

We have reached our destination at the beginning of the week. Prepare doors for arrival, cross check, and all call.

Fortune favors the bold.

I would normally not embed Instagram posts but I’ve not seen Rebecca post about this on the blog yet and it is an idea so compelling to me I had to… A “Co-Dreaming” space:

I am the person my twenty year old self complained about years old.

My Now and Reading pages have been updated to current.

Reminder: Humans measure single years. Planets measure millions,. Stars measure billions. Your time here is less than a blink. Your universal impact indistinguishable from dust. Focus on that you can influence here, now. It is all you really have. It is all that really matters to you.

Many are familiar with Hanlon’s razor:

“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

I’m ready to make the argument that the converse of this is true as well.

The Autumnal Equinox. My favorite season. Bring on the sweaters and apple cider, the changing colors on the trees and the crunch of leaves underfoot, jackets (and pockets!) and flannel shirts, fires in the backyard pit while sipping a nip of homemade nocino. I’m here for all of it and more.

Aphantasia (/ˌeɪfænˈteɪʒə/ AY-fan-TAY-zhə, /ˌæfænˈteɪʒə/ AF-an-TAY-zhə) is the inability to voluntarily visualize mental images.

This is a condition many people don’t know they have until later in life.

Not everyone can “picture things” when they close their eyes or read.
