<p>"I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions." - Augusten Burroughs ๐งต </p><p>Outwalking existential dread at a brisk pace. Believer in printed ink, turn-based strategy, and a good cup of tea. The universe is largely absurd, but solid ground, crisp morning air, and a well-plotted fantasy novel make for a surprisingly compelling counterargument. ๐</p>

On 11 and 12 May this year large parts of the Western Cape, South Africa experienced heavy rainfall, swallowing vineyards, tearing through cellars, and rising two metres high, they left behind a landscape unrecognisable. The vineyards had its fertile topsoil stripped away, generations of work buried under shoulder deep river sand. Among the wreckage in the Robertson Valley, submerged in dark water and thick river silt, lay over a million bottles of wine. When the water finally receded, what re...

Clearly Iโm just a nosy mofo, because ever since #Pokรฉmon games stopped letting you walk into random houses, the magic is gone. Sure, it could be the open world or the muted colours, but deep down I know itโs because I canโt just stomp into a strangerโs living room no more ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ

So happy that flat #design is coming to an end. Give me back bevels, gradients, glossy buttons, and faux-leather stitching. I want depth! I want textures! Bring back skeuomorphism and let digital things look FUN again! Make all designs amazingly fun again, create always! (aka MADAFACA) ๐๐

Sometimes I think about that time I did yoga for funsies and the instructor actually scolded me for not practicing at home. ๐ญ Like, listen Linda, Iโm barely "practicing" while Iโm in the building. Youโre lucky I even went full downward dog today. I thought this was shavasana, not a bloody performance review! ๐

It holds the distinction of being the only floating bamboo kelp forest on the planet, dominated by the species Ecklonia maxima. These underwater canopies grow as tall as 15 meters, creating a complex, three-dimensional habitat that functions much like...

The older you get, the more you realise your meat sack requires constant maintenance, and frankly, it is incredibly bothersome. I didnโt sign up for this level of biological admin. ๐ One day youโre invincible, and the next, youโre basically a high-maintenance tamagotchi that requires a specific pH-balanced serum and a 20-minute stretching ritual just to get up off the couch without making weird noises. ๐ฆด๐๏ธ
