I've "fake moved" a couple times since I've been in my apt forever. Just pack everything in boxes and take out what I need. Haven't got to the part of getting rid of the boxes full of stuff I don't use tho I also still hold on to a box of "sentimental clothes" I'll never wear again but am attached to the memories 🙈

not long until you're considered a weirdo outlier for raising your own kids (if thats not already the case with education systems these days)

One of these days we'll have to trade a disc golf round in for me to try this, looks brutally tough with that much sway. Do you just use a regular climbing harness?

I could use a prayer for peace in my mind. How can I return the prayer for you?

That's a good idea. I wanted to say a little on the process and experience of writing poetry for me, but I get the ease of just seeing the poems and I like the screenshot idea. I'll add those to the thread of casts!

Thank you!! I never realized (or remembered) how hard it is to write a poem, especially one I'm proud of (but these feel like they are on their way)

Here it is, after a long and late night trying to finish. My attempt at poetry. This one was a rough one to get the creative juices flowing and to feel confident enough to publish these. Let me know what ya'll think!

For /firstdraft I've been challenging myself to write different forms of writing than I usually do. Last week was short semi-fiction. This week, I tried poetry (or as best I could muster for it). It truly was a challenge (and a struggle). Here it is, my 1st poems: https://blog.kylebanta.com/2024/06/10/poems-vol-1/

It's so wild how steep the line looks on each side when you're in the middle of it

Could maybe use the UDisc round ratings that go 0-300 but that doesn't work for all courses and wouldn't factor in wind or conditions, but probably closest you could get. My best rounds get to around 200, but usually I'm like a 180 level player

Makes me curious tho, are there any bootstrapped, non-VC funded cos that launched a polished, great product before receiving funding without launching light and iterating first?
