i'm thankful to be starting a new brain medication today, even though i am a little afraid of the potential side effects, which are higher profile and scarier sounding than the brain medications i have been on in the past. i'm thankful to hope that i get to be part of the percentage that doesn't have these side effects instead of the percentage that does (and also if we're just hoping for things to hope the medication also actually does the thing it's intended to do)

i'm thankful for my twitter friends who throw shade at elon musk, since, despite a week at the work equivalent camp having wonderful friend experiences, a thing about my company's culture that makes me feel a bit icky is the uncritical adoration that everyone seems to have for spacex. i'm thankful for jacobin.

i'm thankful for the chili verde that d made in the instant pot, which was very tasty, and for the peanut butter chocolate cookies she made. i'm thankful we watched the season finale of the good place, which is bringing the lost vibes harder than ever which i love, and caught up on the terrace house that built up while i was gone.

i'm thankful that it won't be that long until spring comes. i'm thankful for "i remember learning how to dive" by animal collective, which e told me is the real name instead of spotify's "i remember learning how to drive." i'm thankful for "resonance" by akira kosemura. i'm thankful for this poem about stir-fry. i'm thankful for doritos and introverts.
