A Mourning Light

Just a trucker from Florida. Call me Jen. ((RP account for Mourninglight for #SWLRP. Pictures from the road are mine.))

((Casually linking this here, because I'm still pretty proud of it. It turned out well. https://t.co/1Zngtcg8tF ))

((So this arrived and I'm eager to read it. Podcasts are hard for me to listen to but books are my jam.))

((I swear to god, Twitter, stop sending me 20+ useless notifications. I KNOW WHAT PEOPLE TWEETED RECENTLY, THAT'S WHY I'M FOLLOWING THEM. Jfc.))

((Fucking cold out and my dumb ass has a craving for ice cream. Now I need to check whether my heater is working...))

@MayorDasMoose I'll be honest, though, that 9 hour raid night etc thing sounded a lot like my time playing FFXI. Talk about a slog. Pretty, but very repetitive and it could take HOURS. #reasonsistoppedplayingffxi #11isnot14

@MayorDasMoose Just for that, I'm making a mod to make everyone show up naked to raid night. I'll get banned, but not before I go viral.

Only in Texas feels like temps right now. 😳🤯 In the Panhandle, the wind chill is -12 degrees. Brownsville is burning at 93 degrees. 105 degree difference.

70 degrees this morning and at or below freezing by 11:00 tonight. #TexasWeather

@MayorDasMoose How dare we peasants play games to have fun?

((For reference, the high yesterday was 70°))

((I was wondering what was up with my door looking weird and well...))

((Final count last night was 9185. I have regrets that I didn't get more sleep, but 0 regrets about how much was written. All three chapters on Tumblr here: https://t.co/Ytf488B1JI ))

((What am I doing with my Christmas? Writing vaguely DnD-ish fiction based on a Tumblr prompt. It's been a while since I wrote anything longer than a few paragraphs, and it feels really good to stretch those writing muscles. https://t.co/brlgbb5CLA ))

((5,000 words in and I'm at a point in the morning where I want to sleep but I really don't want to leave the story off here. I have no idea where this is going but I need to see, dangit.))

@katie_richer @neilhimself That works too!

@SUEtheTrex I'm pondering building a box-and-wrapping paper fort for my cat. Might do that later, she'd probably enjoy it.

There is a wonder and beauty in the vast spaces of the cosmos that one appreciates as one asks more questions but humanity also needs stories, imagination, and magic. That magic fuels the next generation of great minds. Shame on anyone who crushes dreams and brings children down.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

For Santa to deliver gifts to all world's Christians in one night requires hypersonic speeds through Earth’s lower atmosphere, vaporizing his reindeer & sleigh.

Just sayin’.

((Looking back at this year, everything happened so much. I started 2021 recovering from Covid-19 while on the road trying to make a living driving a truck. Barely making ends meet. I am ending 2021 with a nice apartment and a good-paying office job. I'm looking forward to 2022))
