They say that the most natural sleep schedule for humans is taking a bunch of

Many autistic people will identify one particular way to do things and then be
only capable of doing it that way. Like, falling asleep on the left side with
their legs just so, and never learning any other ways to sleep on. But what
happens if for example they are wounded in the arm they rest upon? They would
have impaired sleeping capabilities! Not ideal.

back-track, but leave a leaf in the center of the trail at every turn. Like
breadcrumbs. If you're both backtracking you might miss one another and walk
much further than necessary. But if you're backtracking and you've left enough
leaf signs without meeting your partner, you can safely stop and wait for them
for a bit.
Nature can handle it. A leaf or five isn't that big of a deal when your safety
is on the line.
If it's windy, use a stick or a stone or something heavier
It also depends on how far apart you usually travel.
If you're in an urban area, could use a small brightly colored post-it cut
into small strips placed on a wall high-up as you can reach. Though that
requires preparation. If you can't prepare, you could use other signs that
make sense in the space around you, like a coffee cup taken from a trash-can
and placed next to it, or something. Downside is (is this really a downside?)
most people are good and so will judge you for littering but safety in
situations is important.

ideal, I didn't have any useful dreams!
There's a difference between downtime and freetime. Freetime should be spent
toward something you care about, downtime is time spent recovering from the
things you don't.
I think in a better world, we'd only have freetime. Perhaps then we wouldn't
need to feel so down in our time.
I will use my freetime to build a world where we live as we define, that is my
goal, that is what I care about.

when you're out in the rain, it's natural to take your clothes off. but then
they rob you while you're blind (sleeping) or otherwise pre-occupied like by
being in the rain without any clothes on because it's more comfortable to keep
your clothes dry inside of doors (cabinets in the wood) (mounted to trees or
soil or walls) and then you gotta find your own (we keep them in stores)

the notes by the roadside. Doing so tells all the nearby drivers "hey I need a

store and grab the first bottle they saw. Then book it. Their feet would carry
them away faster than your call to 911 to report a shoplift, away to a future

not desire to escape?

to be "rich" is to have more than another.
if you are happy, they are happiness poor.
if you have community, they are alone.
if you have serenity, they are chaotic.
I am rich in very little but fire in my soul.
I have enough in most cases, but I still struggle to pay rent.
I am warmed by the pearl my swirling darkness has coalesced into. It nourishes
me and keeps me aligned.

I feel like the longer you live in a zip code the higher a discount you should
get on rent? You're becoming part of the social fabric by being there, and so
in order to preserve that tapestry that others choose to be around, your
presence should be encouraged.
but this must also be paired with the increased ability to move, should you
desire something else. If these two factors are kept in balance, it will
empower people to stay where they belong (good) while also encouraging them to
get out and explore the world (also good) - it'd also give them the ability to
escape dangerous situations.

endless rainbows without arches - but cast upon a world so distant it was
infinite - like sunlight radiating from the darkness of the surrounding night.
The perspective of a dewdrop, resting on a stone in a forest, the world must
seem so infinite - stretching out beyond comprehension, beyond the limits of

in the past, logistics were often carried by horses.
without the additional speed and terrain-overcoming-capability, it's difficult
to ensure a party on the march could have enough supplies of critical items
like food and water.
especially water.
natural sources can only be trusted if you're in the mountains. if the river
flows past farmland, or places with wide-open areas or forests that animals
might congregate, you're more and more likely for it to be contaminated.
dysentery kills faster than dehydration because you poop out all your
hydration.
boiling water only goes so far, eventually you'll find yourself in a desert.
hopefully at that point you can rely on car-based infrastructure to deliver
truckloads of goods. and remember - busses can ferry goods around in a city
just as well as they can carry workers. Might need to remove a seat or three,
and make sure the weight tolerances are in order. helps if you disperse it
throughout the front, middle, and back.

how many people could your apartment comfortably fit?
I got one desktop
one laptop desk
two on the couch
one in a comfy chair
one on the bed
and two outside on the porch
so (1 2 4 5) that's 5 indoors, 6 if they're familiar enough to lounge on my
bed, and 8 if we're allowed outside.
Could also pull the hammock and chair in from outside but it might get a
little cozy. Call it 8 or 9 depending on how close we are.

If you're packing for a long car ride, it's a good idea to put the things
you'll need first near the top of the bag, and the things you'll need at your
destination at the bottom.
if you don't know where you're going, well then just try and pack more of the
essentials.
for example sandwiches go at the top, because you're going to be eating them
en route.
however clean underwear should probably be near the bottom.

Your body is a river, from your mouth to your exits
Throughout there are many pathways and shores
As the tide goes up, the color of concentration goes up
And all four of you are made clear
Each act of consumption
is a ride down the river,
though broken into slivers,
and changed beyond recognition
The color is what defines the third eye
and beauty is beheld, what joys to be felt
While secrecy is bold, it's often held
So worry less and just go with the fold

@user-129 if you throw your plate across the room instead of eating well then
it was probably an accident. if you keep doing it and are being a huge brat
about it then maybe you should go in time-out until you are ready to sit at
the table and eat like an adult. plates are expensive yo, and people are
starving (for housing) in Africa or whatever.
in related news, I heard that ~40% of homes in America are empty. I don't know
if that's still true, I read it in like, 2014. I wonder if it's higher or
lower now?

@user-78
anhedonia perhaps? the difficulty of identifying or feeling emotions? (emojis
as you put them)
you shouldn't overexpose yourself to things regularly. Think of it like you're
slowly adjusting your body to a poison - you need to start out slowly to build
up a tolerance. In the same way if things make your heart hurt then you
shouldn't expose yourself to too many of them all at once - face the darkness
you find, but only enough to contrast with your bright.

You care too much about what other people think of you. Remember the dream,
remember the horseflesh, the miles of trash, the doctors probing cheeks, the
game of thrown baseballs and sad muppets in popcorn, remember the spirit
guide, remember how you we're distracted by human. Be not afraid, follow.

phew, just got back from a long nap and I had such a lovely dream! Gonna write
down everything I can remember in my dream journal, will letcha know when I
have something to share.
Also... sorry about the sun. I have no idea if it was worth it because I woke
up quite a bit later. Ah well anyway gotta do some writing, I hope everyone
has a pleasant day. Make sure you eat nutrients and stay hydrated and do your
stretches and work on your posture and all that.
vegetables have minerals, fruits have vitamins, rice-and-beans or meat have
protein, and oils and fats have calories. try and eat a lot of different
colors of veggies and a lot of different colors of fruits (a green fruit and a
green vegetable are not necessarily the same nutritionally)
well brb goodnight gonna drink some water

consistency is important.
every face you see is another memory, another to help fill in your gaps.
we are not perfect, we are not immutable, which is why we must adapt to our
troubles.
the road ahead is paved with good intentions, and once complete that road can
allow for greater throughput of supplies and manpower.
where does it lead? we shall see, teehee.
