jack wilkins, another tremendously underrated jazz guitarist, heard here going off on the freddie hubbard classic "red clay" released three years earlier (which you will recognize if you listen to a tribe called quest)

time to cop a bunch of jack wilkins albums...

boldly defying cultural norms by seeing all dogs as girls and all cats as boys

putting this here mostly because this has been sitting on my mind lately and i want to write something shorter than a medium article but can't fit it over on hive.

i want to talk about guilty gear strive for a second, and how i think it's done a really good job keeping the spirit of the characters right even with less moves in their kit (at the moment). this is especially pertinent because of the new dlc character sin kiske, who i've heard people call "boneless/flavorless" in the context of his movelist. i yelled about this on my last fighting friday stream a bit, but now that i've had some time to marinate on it i can phrase my points more eloquently & use sin himself as an example of this "keeping the spirit" stuff.

dear chosters,

i've been turning one of my weird brain habits around in my head for a while (months? years?) and have yet to reach an understanding i am satisfied with so i am crowdsourcing ideas

so, genuinely: does anyone else feel very anxious whenever they have anything planned later in the day, even if that thing is something you want to do? like, all throughout the day you can't stop thinking about thing you have to do, and can't possibly sit and relax for a while even if it's hours away?

i feel like i've heard people express things like this before, but not a lot of people have delved into why their brains might do that or ways to cope with it, and that's what i'm interested in. even if you don't have a solution, i like theory crafting about brain habits, so i'm open to ideas in general.

i'm worried the answer may just be 'yeah that happens, you just have to learn to live with the anxiety' (which i guess is most of life anyways)
