forced myself to eat a meal of one pan lentils/kumara/spinach + a large glass of water and i already feel less hopeless, this is actually ridiculous

i fucking hate how when i am super depressed and sickly feeling, the following things fix it: cooking a good meal, drinking more water, stretching, having a long shower, brushing my teeth, talking to someone…like how dare you first of all

it’s kinda sad that the cassowary gets sensationalised as “scary knife murder bird”

like don’t get me wrong - they absolutely can do serious harm and/or kill, but that’s if they’re startled/during mating season/caring for chicks, which is standard for most animals that are bigger than us/sporting some kind of natural weaponry

cassowary are super cool birds outside of that

new thing for new business cards: some lush future Africa, de colon1zed & self determined, where the great green wall has grown thick and steady & date palms & mango trees could maybe share canopies, adapting to the new weather patterns & all hope is not lost
