Just saw a TikTok ghost story about human mimic voices out in the Appalachian woods and it unexpectedly spooked my crap right out.

Was probably fake - or maybe ravens or crows. But, still, it glanced off my brain in just the right way

Made me realize, sure, I'm anxious & dread-filled pretty much perpetually these days. But, it's rare that I'm ever acutely spooked and checking shadows

@g Heh, yeah, "skinwalkers" came up in the comment threads 😅

Update: I got tickets to the Ministry show and the missus wants to go too 🎉

So, due to ADHD or whatever, I have racing thoughts when I go to bed. It can take me as long as an hour to fall asleep.

I'd heard about this exercise to try: Pick a category - like fruit or animals - and mentally work through the alphabet from A to Z, coming up with an example that starts with each letter.

Supposedly that occupies the mind and sleep should come in a more normal 5-10 minutes?

Well, I tried it last night and made like 4 laps around the alphabet before I gave up and just yielded to the usual in-depth review of embarrassing things I said in Jr. High and High School.

@Alairthephoenix I've heard & read a few times that the mountains around there are like 1 billion years older than most of the land around and have ancient sea bed fossils. Just that feels kinda spooky to me 😅

@jalefkowit I'm fascinated by how so many CMSes for big content sites seem to be unable to sync edits for URL slug, title in the page head, and title in the page content
