pretty standard stuff
Some time ago, I did a monthly link compilation called "shinies" on my blog.
Predictably, it became too cumbersome to update. In fact, my last update was last July. I'm trying something different called "weeklies", a combination of weeknotes and the original intent behind my "shinies". Anyway, the goal is to do more writing, less overthinking. Let's go!

A mix of sims and parenting. Pretty standard stuff in my watch history.

Spent a lot of my time reading this week! What a time. Remembered how fun it is to bounce from link to link (only after I finish reading the current link first, of course).

listening . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁
I forgot why I was thinking of Vocaloid and its impact on my formative years. It just happened, I guess. I spent an hour or two trying to remember my fave ones -- without knowing the actual titles, mind you -- using a playlist with over 1000+ songs.
Turns out I have good visual and audio memory.

I'm not sure how often I'll actually revisit this list (or future weeklies), but they're here, just in case. There's a lot of website-related ones, huh. Should compile those somewhere accessible.
