It's far more terrifying to tell the stars you tried

Yesterday was consumed by a doctor's appointment of my mother's and today I had three doctor's appointments and I was already out of focus this week. I would appreciate music or links of interest, I think. At least I had donuts. The fundraiser covered all of Autolycus' medical bills, for which I thank everyone.

I feel you! I hope that all the appointments went well!

As for interesting things, I've recently liked this article about monk parakeets and their dialects. And I don't know if this counts, but I've left more prompts at the threesentenceficathon!

Here's a playlist I made of folky/punky/metal-y stuff.
(I vetted the Norse groups.)

Ah, I'm glad!

I'm very glad about the fundraiser.

Have a Duke Ellington concert from 1968. The recording starts at about 3:35.

Prayers for your mother's health and your own. The song I'm going to recommend is a pop song, but as someone of the age of the mothers in it--and who has often felt like the mothers in it!--I enjoyed it. Nice intergenerational solidarity, and the ending is a gentle poke. Very cishet, but there we are. "All My Exes' Moms"

This is probably old hat to you, but I listened to The Cure's Disintegration for the first time this week. I've been repeat looping Pictures of You like mad -- love that song, and the lyrics.

all I can offer at the moment is my icon to sing the songs you get. hugs

That all sounds entirely unfair! I hope at least that some of them were useful and that it was the week's full quota of medical appointments. <3<3<3

I don't seem to have many links at the moment, but here's my tumblr "inspiration" tag which usually has some nice and hopefully a bit distracting things in.

It's the time of year they intended January Hymn for, sing o January o.
