In a hole in the ground, there lived a badger...

One of the most life-changing things I ever learned came from Mythbusters, where they tested and proved (with cognitive testing puzzles and reaction time tests) that lying down and resting with the intention to sleep STILL provided significant mental benefits over just staying awake, even if a person couldn’t fall asleep in the amount of time they had. 

When I worked for an ambulance company, doing 24 hour shifts where I slept at the station, sometimes it was hard to fall asleep because you never know when the call tones would go off.

Gendryamas 2023 is officially happening!

I think of the Arya chapters in clash of kings really showing the worst of what the war can do to the smallfolks and in the middle of it, we have Arya being incredibly traumatized but also making sure to save people (even the worst criminals) and protecting younger little girls and not abandoning kids who are (probably) mortally injured and deciding someone else who also had an horrifying traumatizing thing happened to them because of the people she is being traumatized by should get justice first, before her own safety, and I cry.
