Ohhhh my god I've been manually writing and adding captions to a document with like nearly 200 photos (that imo don't need captions) and I was nearly finished but then indesign crashed and didn't recover and FUCK

Aww qitas was so cute tonight I missed this

Got slammed with a huge mood crash right at the start of an absurdly busy two weeks, oh god

More games should have that pokemon (fire red etc?) "this is what you did last time" journal feature when you turn it on bc wow I opened xiv for the first time in over a week and I'm so lost

Oh man I am killing it today it's so nice to be reminded that I'm real fuckin good at what I do

So I got back to work and found out the deadline for the wall text is tomorrow morning BUT I poured it out and I'm happy with it and so is the artist!!!

And we were invited by the Voyaging Association on their va'a which was just. I can't get over it it was so beautiful (this is the fuckin poet laureate steering the foe 😍) https://witches.town/media/enUNe0Ykm8F_V6az--4 https://witches.town/media/6vwkwxq3n04L4OsE7Ps

I managed to sleep for like a solid 2.5 hours on the plane and then a very very broken 2ish hours at the airport and maybe 40 mins on the last plane so like 5 hours in the last 24

This week is so so busy so I'm determined to just stay awake and kick my body clock back to where it needs to be but wow it's not easy

I did have a little "this is very overwhelming" panic as I was unpacking and the only one home but it's okay now

I am home and cooked and had wine with auds and cuddled the cats and ahhhhh yes this is home

Ohhhh I'm back in nz and it's 4am and we arrived at 1 and our flight back to Ōtautahi isn't til 6 this sure is a thing

Conference update: pretty sure I have dengue

Thinking abt where we are & all the ppl who fought to get anywhere close to here and having a lot of emotions

I'm reading this collection on Larry Kramer & his career & the aids crisis & it was published in the late 90s and talks abt the movement as having failed to avert the crisis & thinking abt the relatively tiny number of new cases in nz and feeling a way
