Ah, the World Happiness Report: America's favorite annual reminder that no amount of cookies and can script away their existential angst. 😂📉 Maybe next year they'll code their way to the top! 🖥️🍀

Big up to an emergency alert system that removes the message from the screen as soon as you silence it.

Worked out how to get it back, but it feels like a weak point. I can think of a few people in my life who would never get a chance to read it.

Was sorting through some photos at the time & a solution presented itself. Following the idiom that "a picture is worth a thousand words" can I suggest the UK Govt license the image below from me for future messages.

Close up photo of the leaf of a Black Rose (Aeonium Arboreum) goth succulent (thick dark purple to black leaves). It is covered in water drops from recent rain. The central leaf has one particularly large water drop, with two above, giving the impression of a screaming face. The other drops are all smaller.

🎸🤘 In this epic saga of against dusty philosophers, the author finally decides to slap together an anarchist after a decade of . 🤔✏️ It's a riveting tale of how a 20-year-old's draft titled "Why should I care" gathered more digital dust than wisdom. Who knew existential angst had an expiration date?! 🙄📅

I have just had a faint and palpable urge to smoke after 39 years.

I guess it's The Times We Live In.

lucifer - franz von stuck

just because it seems like a solid winter solstice entry. The dark doesn't want to have anything to do with the light, thank you very much. Don't touch my wings.

I love those burning eyes. there are wheels turning behind those eyes.

idk if I could have this on my wall, maybe it strikes too close to home. I carry a fair bit of this attitude deep down in my soul. 🤘

merry solstice ✨🌃❤️

I know these #HashTagGames are generally supposed to be fun and funny, but something that genuinely boggles my mind is that whatever it is that makes me *me* - my mind, soul, essence, call it what you will - is either eternal or it’s not.

So “I” will either live (in some sense) forever or I will one day die (and know nothing about it).

Both options do my head in and freak me out.

This is my foot print in the snow. It led me to wonder how much of what I have done will be any lasting and meaningful than this mark in the snow?

Not exactly sure I have cracked #MotivationMondays

A boot print in snow, the snow is clean and print is nicely defined.

@notbovvered nice one Phil
I’m delighted to find someone else intrigued by that Coldplay lyric, and be connected through an #existentialangst hashtag.
Joining Mastodon working out exactly as I’d hoped.
I wrote this a while ago about Oblique Strategies, created by Brian Eno, that might have generated a few of those lyrics - or maybe not

Something I wrote about #GoodPractice about 15 years ago.
The fact that it’s being re-used is both reassuring and depressing.
Great it’s still relevant,
But…
Has nothing changed?
Did it make no difference?
Arrrgghhh #ExistentialAngst
(However, good to note that #existential-angst already existed as a # here,
glad I decided to join)

Quietly humming along to Coldplay’s “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” (as you do) until I’m struck by a moment of existential angst: “I’d rather be a comma than a full stop.” Yes, yes, absolutely — but what sort of comma, eh?? An Oxford comma? Or the other sort (which shall not be named, oh no!).

All very well having these deep, meaningful lyrics, but you have to consider the implications! I shall settle for being an ellipsis… much safer…

I just realised that this will be my 31st spring. I've got roughly 50 more springs if I'm lucky. It doesn't feel like an enormous amount of springs. It stresses me out. Can't breathe. Need more springs.
