No crafting update today because I spent all my spoons checking out a local(ish) wildlife reservation/hiking place, which was awesome!
I could not explore the whole place, and it is very much "only wheelchair friendly if the person pushing my wheelchair is capable of holding my entire weight against a steep slope and immediately pushing the chair up another only partially paved steep slope", but I walked the whole time*! I got to hear wolves howling through the forest and it is a whole hell of a lot eerier to hear on a foggy day in a winter forest than it was the only other time I've heard it, which was a very bright sunny day in an amphitheater at a zoo where one wolf howled alone on stage. There were crows cawing and wolves howling and it was absolutely magnificent and suddenly a whole lot of things from various fantasy novels I read as a kid hit very different. Like, I get why hearing the wolves howl in the night would be alarming now!
*we did bring my rollator/transport chair in the car, and the backup plan was that my dad or my brother would go get it and push me back to the car if I needed help

its a unique kind of pain when you get really into something with a small fanbase and not much recent fanart, and you find a really cool piece from a really good artist and you just love how they interpret and draw the characters and you're obsessed with it and you can't wait to see what else they have in store, but then you go to their blog and you realize that the drawing was just a one-off 'i watched this show (etc.) recently and thought it was kinda cool" and they're very unlikely to make anything else for it again

I'm going to sound really old and irritating saying this, but all these new weird tech stuff is horrible and I want them all dead. My tubelight is out and I can't get a damn choke for it because they no longer mass-produce it apparently, and so I need a goddamn LED tubelight like just leave me alone good gods. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY OLD TUBE WHY IS THERE A NEW THING EVERY GODDAMN WEEK AND THEY LOOK LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A HORROR STORY AND DON'T LAST LONGER THAN A DAY I'M GOING TO KMS WTF
