:boost_ok: I like getting soap and lotion from independent makers. I want to make sure I am purchasing from good people. I like sweet and floral scents, lotion that melts into skin quickly, and soap with enough slipperiness to shave my legs with it because I prefer multi-use stuff. Also no exfoliating nonsense in the soaps (some people sneak things into it without saying! Holy moly sensory hell!) Oh and no etsy links. Nothing that I need to log in to buy. Recommend me things!

Morning. The allotment has become a sanctuary against the overwhelming distress when I look outward at the world. I make a point of spending 10 minutes watching the gatekeeper butterflies having their breakfast on the marjoram. It doesn't change a thing but it helps me to refocus and allow myself a few minutes of calm and wonder. I know a lot of people feel the same. It's ok to take time to care for yourself.

I didn't have time to journal, so I asked an AI writing tool to do it for me.

I didn't have time to reflect on what the AI wrote, so I asked a chatbot to summarize my journals and generate insights.

I've got to stop letting myself do "just a little thing for my mental health"...

Rot in bed all day?
- yes, just a little bed rot for my depression!

Eat nothing but chips all day?
- yes, just 19 little packs of chips as self care!

Ignore uni work and play Salt & Sacrifice all day?
- definitely, it's for my mental health don't ya know!

MY THERAPIST TOLD ME TO BE GENTLE WITH MYSELF AND NOW I'M TURNING INTO A CURSED TRASH GOBLIN WHO HASN'T SEEN SUNLIGHT IN 4 DAYS

Yes, I know this isn't what she meant

This post is 98.4% Shit Post, and I'm mostly being sensible about all this

Today I had a political discussion with a neighbor. I was really upset after it, couldn't come down. I thought of ranting here, but decided I didn't make sense. i thought of writing down the reasons I was upset, but felt really long. Instead I recorded myself. In 5 minutes I was much better. I'm going to try to do this more often.

As all this unravels, I am seeing different patterns.

One that is coming to mind as I notice it grow is, "It's the people who you wouldn't have expected," or "The people doing it are the ones' you'd expect not to be doing this."

Another one I'm finding is, "To keep my sanity these days I have to remind myself that for as long as I can remember, I have been trying to help. As I drown in all the shit and corruption and cruelty."
