Wimp Decaf Coffee Co
Coffee on a saucer inside of a cafe

Welcome to the jungle, where it has been raining nonstop for the last week (or possibly for my entire life). I can’t remember. I lose track. That’s how ADHD works. I can usually remember the negative things that have been happening, and they feel like they’ve been happening forever. If you can’t relate, then congratulations, you get cake, and my eyerolls.

This is one of those weeks where checking out and moving to a cabin in the woods is the fantasy of the day. I have an à la carte menu of fantasy options to choose from on any given week. There’s the fantasy that I can do so many things and I’m unstoppable. The fantasy that I need to get out from underneath everything I have going on, and moving to said cabin in the woods. The fantasy that other people need to change, and then everything will be okay. The fantasy that somehow I need to change myself, and then everything will be okay. Basically all fantasies end with "and then everything will be ok", which is a euphemism for my nervous system shutting-the-fuck-up.

No matter what, though, never ever, at all costs, decide to just sit in the present moment and feel what you feel, because holy shit, that would be impossibly dangerous and definitely lead to overwhelming feelings that are likely to kill you. Basically, my brain thinks feelings are an escaped prisoner on the loose, ready to murder me and my family.

Which is rude, honestly. You’d think after a decade my brain would at least offer a punch card and I would get discounts for good behavior. But here we are. Rain outside. Storms inside. Me, trying very hard not to solve my entire life before lunch.

This is decaf. Not being chill. Not doing it right. Just being a goof of a person, in the mix. It involves a lot of shrugging.

Have a great week y'all, or you know, don't, but as always let me know, cuz I love hearing from you. Also share Wimp because if you don't it may ruin our chances at world peace. I dunno. That's what I heard on social, so it's probably true.

Probably a bad idea

A Friday / Pizza, movie, every Friday.
The intrepid Austin Kleon has done Friday pizza-and-a-movie with his kids for five years and finally wrote it down. Twelve tips. Favorite: complete bathing before showtime. Stealing this for our house.

A Sigh / Type a worry into a star.
The star shrinks into the night sky over 60 seconds while kind messages appear. Marc Balaban made PixelThoughts in 2015. No account, no ads, no algo. I think this might have been the first time I took an actual breath today. Everything before this was hyperventilating.

A Snort / Six doodles, one confused robot.
Okay. This is the best link I've shared in ages. I laughed both cheeks of my ass right off playing this with Ako. You need to try this. This AI tries to guess what you are drawing, twenty seconds at a pop. This is a great use of AI, being human together while you laugh at your bad drawing skills.

A Craft Product / Origami that wants it's own room.
COCHAE is a Japanese studio with a phrase for what they do that translates to "play design." Folklore-monsters. Paper-dolls. Collabs gallore. I think we need a Wimp Kuma. Get it.

A Bake thing / Pastries on her own terms.
This is the kind of quitting story I keep coming back to. Marcela trained in San Diego restaurants, hated the grind, and crossed back to Tijuana to open a tiny bakery called La Ventanita. What a badass.
