I can’t begin to describe how much joy I’ve gotten from a brief amount of Marathon beta played this weekend. Anyone complaining about the “font slop” wasn’t there for the original series, because it’s given me a huge nostalgia rush.

I’m on the verge of missing the opportunity to dress as Trillian and throw a Hitchhiker’s Guide themed party for my 42nd next month…

Because I’m a woman on the internet, the algorithm sends me content such as “things you can do to glow up in a month.” Let me tell you that half of them I was already doing, and the other half was unscientific nonsense. So I guess this is peak! Next stop: stagnation and decline!

@ProtagonistIvy I used to be a smug little academic brat, no fun! Now I’ll make self-deprecating jokes and can turn my worst life events into humorous anecdotes. The long-view effect is real! Like an armchair, the years of living in your body and mind mold them to be comfortable spaces.

@ProtagonistIvy … a safe and boring path. I struggled along the way, but I like having a life’s worth of stories to tell as a result.

[Mab Astra ✨ @outpt]

@ProtagonistIvy That’s very sweet of you! I certainly like life better this way. It’s more of an adventure: 22 year old me was bold in some ways, fearful in others. I’m proud of myself for cool things I did, don’t beat myself up for bad choices. I see a lot of people in their 20s now who take …
