Wasn’t planning on filming anything today but reading and talking to you has actually cheered me up quite a lot! This was unplanned and I haven’t found a good subtitle app yet so I’m sorry I don’t have a written version of it, I might come back and add it later.
Before you ask, nothing in particular is wrong I’m just feeling a bit overwhelmed by life and haven’t been able to shake this mood that I’ve been in for a couple days. I think it’s related to my period and stress (my bank decided to close my account, I finally found one that’s onlyfans-friendly but Onlyfans isn’t responding to my emails so I haven’t been able to change my bank with them 🙃).
Anyway, I appreciate you all sooo much for being here and this outlet has done wonders for my mental health. Hope you have a wonderful holiday 😘
Edit: here's the written version!
Hi friends. I am having a bit of an off-day. Just not really feeling like myself. Anyway, I wasn't really expecting to share anything with you today but I looked at the bookshelf and something that usually cheers me up is this book. It's called "Pronoia", so like the opposite of paranoia. And basically it's just full of positive things, good history, and really random silly things. So I thought since I was going to read it anyway, I would read a little bit of it to you, and hopefully I can cheer you up a little bit too if you are also having an off day. And if you're having a good day, I hope it only gets better.
So I'm on this page called the "Pronoia News Network", so it's not necessarily "news", it's probably just old things and silly facts but I'm gonna go through this little list on this page.
• The average river requires a million years to move a grain of sand 100 miles.
• Clown fish can alter their gender as their social status rises.
• The closest modern relative of the Tyrannosaurus rex may be the chicken.
• Bluebirds cannot see the color blue. (I did not know that)
• Kind people are more likely than mean people to yawn when someone near them does.
• There are always so many fragments of spider legs floating in the air that you are constantly inhaling them wherever you go. (*laughing* that is not good news, oh my gosh)
• Gregorian chants can cure dyslexia.
• Scientists in Antarctica have photographed whales farting.
• To keep from digesting itself, your stomach generates a fresh layer of mucus every two weeks.
• Bob Hope donated half a million jokes to the Library of Congress.
• Bees perform a valuable service for the flowers from which they steal.
• All the gold ever mined could be molded into a 60-foot bust of your mom. *(laughs uncontrollably)*
• The moon smells like exploded firecrackers.
• Physicists in Tennessee coaxed electric signals to travel through coaxial cable at four times the speed of light, even though the equipment they used was cheap stuff from Radio Shack.
• A piece of paper can never be folded more than nine times.
• Your tongue is the strongest muscle in your body. (What? That *is* good news 😏)
• The most frequently shoplifted book in America is the Bible.
• Copper, iodine, alcohol, iron, sunshine, sodium, and cholesterol are harmful to you in large amounts, but good for you in small quantities.
• "I always turn to the sports page first," said Earl Warren, former Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. "It records people's accomplishments; the front page, nothing but man's failure."
• Leafing through Forbes or Fortune is like reading the operating manual of a strangely sanctimonious pirate ship," wrote Adam Gopnik in The New Yorker.
*“Opinions are Overrated”*
Writing in The Week magazine, Bill Falk reminisced about how earlier in his career he churned out three opinion columns a week for newspapers. It was tough. "The truth is," he said, "there were many weeks in which I didn't have three fresh opinions of any value."
These days, he added, he couldn't handle a gig like that. As he has matured, he has become suspicious of his own certainties. "Opinions are highly overrated." he concludes. "Most concern passing phenomena that, six months or six years from now, will become utterly irrelevant."
That hits home right about now. I just deleted my Twitter app because there are just opinions everywhere on everything. People cannot stop adding their input to absolutely every single topic and it drives me insane because some opinions just don't need to be expressed, I think. That's my opinion! Anyway, I hope you liked my list of Pronoia news and I hope you have a lovely weekend. Muah!
