Phytoncides - the chemicals emitted by trees that protect them against germs & parasites, but which also benefit our nervous systems/immune response/mood.
Grateful for a lunchtime walk along this leafy lane - the mood uplift from fresh greens, the contrast between the first warmth of spring & the cool of the shadows, the body & mind resetting a bit after a morning in front of a screen.
@cliffwade yeah I subscribe to https://mastodon.scot/tags/introduction.rss (most people don't seem to know all the Mastodon content is available via RSS) - So I constantly have thousands of articles to scroll through, but I have to set it to auto expire after 3 days, so it doesn't get too overwhelming. You popped up in there. That's where I found you.

The shortsightedness of #AMPTP is astonishing. By not making a deal, they're driving writers to become the producers’ competitors. Writers can learn to run the show from start to finish. The tables are turning. #WGAstrong #UnionStrong #SAGAFTRAsolidarity

I just go ahead and block Musk defenders.
I don’t need to listen to their takes on ANYTHING.
Time to figure out a "simple dungeon" I was planning that has become "an experiment in 3-dimensional dungeon mapping that's going to totally end up over-complicated, naturally".
Start: 3 rooms connected by web-like ladders high up in a hollowed out mountain.
Now: Many chambers hanging like tree ornaments from, and connected by, decaying webs within a hollowed-out mountain with a vast, empty pit below that leads to a dark faerie realm.
Ugh. This is why I start with "you're all in an inn". 😅
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
