#podcasts to listen to while walking

[felt-squirrels]

I think I’m going to wait until tomorrow for listening to the new Penumbra episode so I can experience the whole range of human emotions before 8:00am.

#i haven’t actually listened to a podcast while not walking to and from school or while in a car for a while #penumbra podcast #the penumbra podcast #tpp #tpp juno #juno steel #junoverse #felt rants

Initial malevolent impressions:

🍁American🇨🇦: "I'm inside you and I don't want to be"

☕British🇬🇧: "Lost my sight to disembodied book mind. Ah well, whoopsie."

#malevolent #podcasts #because i get bored during shows and i can't walk while reading #this one hasn't quite gripped me yet #it's like lovecraftian true detective? #but I'll keep listening #if only for ambiance

don't groan at me but i gave it a second choice and started listening to the magnus archives again and the 14th episode (piecemeal) got me. i didn't like the podcast much when i first tried it back in quarantine but right now every now and then with some episodes i can understand why so many folks on here went crazy for this story

#btw please if you have podcast recs drop them...!! #i decided to give tma a chance again because i didnt know what else to listen lol #i mostly just listen to history related podcasts but i wanted a change #new stuff to listen while doing chores/walking yk.

i had like a really normal day where i opened tumblr after work to check my notifs and found that my favorite dnd podcast had followed me (hi @diceshamepodcast)

i'm not sure i've ever actually drawn podcast fanart before but here's a real quick and dirty attempt at a Jack because i felt like i had to do something. i dearly love all the characters in this show but i have a real soft spot for wizards. and archaeologists. and golden retrievers wearing boots.

anyway everyone go listen to dice shame

#jack and his illusory maps and his mold earth and his boyfriend and his dog are extremely important to me #as is everyone else in the show #end of season 1 had me actively crying at work while i was trying to clean up lizard poops i was so glad no one happened to walk in #fr this podcast is so so good go listen to it if you like actual play podcasts you'll love it #it surpassed the adventure zone for me as fav #it's that good #it's funny it's emotional all the characters are so good and so is the acting and sound design it's just !!!! ugh!! #i want to try playing a lore mastery wizard now after listening to the cool shit jack can get up to with that alchemical casting #the reason i don't draw podcast art is bc i can like never. quite. get it looking how i imagine them #so i don't think this is exactly how i imagine jack but it's pretty close #NO idea if it's close to how he was described in the show it's been too long since i've heard the initial desc #the only thing i remembered rob saying was '1920s archaeologist' #doodles #dice shame

Does any library in Texas want to get the translation state audiobook just for me 💕 if I ask really nicely....

#i have the ebook on hold but there's something about the imperial radch books that just lends itself well to #being listened to on walks and while doing household tasks #tried some sci fi podcasts lately to fill that spot in my heart #it's kind of working although i will listen to half of episode one and be like. yeah evil ai. oh reality warping monster in the depths #also can't get into the comedy ones bc our senses of humor usually don't mesh. one day i will power through wolf 35something #i've heard it's so good but the first ep put me off but i WANT to like it #anyway #i've heard there's more body horror in translation state omg #yess love when it gets weird #sphene cameo alone will make this book for me

how does john instinctively know what a taxi is, but doesn't recognize a wheelchair on sight

#mal lb #joos yaps #between the neat dice rolls and the method of description and the types of situations so far and the knowledge that the creator cited being #a DM as inspiration #so far its fun but also giving me the same problem as i have with other ttrpg podcasts - it makes me want to play an rpg #more than listening to someone else going through one #but we'll see #ep 5 was quoted as being a good one and so was 20 #and im already on 3 so nooo problemmooo #tbf i was walking the dog while listening to these eps so if he did ask about what a taxi is in the first two #i missed it #v suspicious 🤔

genuinely fascinated to learn that before jamie braddock became an unhinged reality warping supervillain there was a whole section of captain britain comics where he was brian and betsy's pretty much normal older brother who was a professional race car driver

#learned this and other facts while dragging my sad sniffling self around the neighborhood on a walk while listening to cerebro podcast #i also did not realize that when writers decided to make him a villain they started with horrific human rights violations right away #yikes!!!! #pie says stuff #jamie braddock #xmen #x-men

#every time a character does the whole “talk softly and reassure the dangerous person” thing while also walking ominously towards them ughh #it drives me absolutely nuts. like. you're trying to talk them down from paranoia while you're threateningly walking towards them? #someone does that to me and I'm shooting them at least in the leg or stabbing with whatever makeshift spear I've manufactured #anyway. criminal minds is getting real annoying with the whole pathologizing of people. #like. guy shows signs of being very good at torturing people and they go “ah yes.. a pure sadist” or whatever the fuck #I get that it's shitty crime drama stuff but still. ugh. #I just. I fucking hate when people take the obviously wrong route when talking to mentally destabilized people. #like. people are shit at talking to suicidal people. are shit at talking down irrational fears. people are shit at talking down paranoia. #I hate how people don't fucking know how to interact with freaks I hate how people don't know how to interact with me #everyone acts on their own level without understanding what it's like in any way #and so everyone just projects their own reality onto you without performing any sort of empathy or exercising any sort of understanding #and I want to scream so fucking loud #you're all living in a cotton candy world and your words disintegrate in my humidity #and it's so fucking lonely #and my mind has been clear this past week. the autistic need for pressure satisfied by this prescription pushing on my brain #and I can feel the cogs turning. the wheels and pins and linked gear trains and drive shafts and traction band motors. #all the parts of my brain churning around and I can't get close because the heat from my motor makes my hood hot to the touch. #I burn your hand as you try and press your palm against my flanks. #only think saddle and tack make contact. strict guidelines and harsh rules to govern me. #when I am free I buck and I shift gait and I drag you under too-low branches #also. compared to Hannibal I can basically listen to criminal minds as a podcast. none of the visuals really contribute anything to the show #like. feels very shallow

Underrated "worst kind of thinkpiece article" contendor: articles about how we as a society need to examine [current trend] because naïvely buying into it ruined the author's life, only when you actually read the article it's clear that the author is in fact blaming a LOT of their personal issues on. Like. Marie Kondo

#m/cc #this isn't new either I remember this at least ten years ago in Reader's Digest #author got a Fitbit and loved it #got obsessed with tracking his steps. took long walks after dinner listening to podcasts. cared a lot about meeting his step count #felt really lost when it broke #like I do think there's something to be said about grind culture and diet culture and technology that exploits addictive tendencies #but this guy's problem was not the Fitbit and the Fitbit was not the thing making him miss out on other life experiences #he could have taken those walks WITH his wife #either liking the solitude of the walks or not communicating with his wife is not the fault of the Fitbit. the Fitbit counted his steps and #buzzed when he met his (self-chosen) goal #anyway. this is sponsored by remembering an article I read forever ago about how Konmari ruined the author's life #because she got into it (while grieving) and loved it and somehow missed the point and became obsessed with minimalism #Marie Kondo suggesting you keep what makes you happy or fills a need and consider getting rid of things you don't is not what's #causing you this anxiety about gifts. you are looking for something to blame that's manipulated you into this situation

i kind of want to go to the beatles story in liverpool this year so if you’ve been let me know if it’s good. I was dragged around it on a school trip 5 years ago but I can’t remember a thing from it.

How do I know I am autistic?

I got so excited about a podcast I was internally screaming and jittering and tensing so much, while on my commute, that a part of my (3 week old) topsurgery incision ripped open.

#malevolent podcast #this isn't even an isolated incident #once broke a tooth because I was clenching my jaw to hard while listening to tma #also ran in to a lamppost straight on cus I was so transfixed by a podcast #i was literally looking at the lamppost and walked against it #full force and straight on

my little loaf :)) my beloved guy :))))

I finished my rec letters last night and then hung out with my sister and ordered Indian food. got up early this morning and worked quite hard from 6:30-11:30 at work finishing a presentation draft + a round of revisions for this big project we’re wrapping up in the next few weeks. I might do just a little bit more work on it today—I’d like to go through the doc and make a detailed revision to-do list for myself so I have it all in one place—but then I’ll be done for the week.

as I was working on that project this morning I noticed that I was experiencing a deep sense of satisfaction & fulfillment, and it struck me that this will be the first time I’ve completed a big writing project (the kind involving multiple rounds of feedback and revision) since february 2022. I almost have happy tears in my eyes just recalling and re-experiencing the feeling now lol. my creative output has been been mostly stalled for nine months now and I’ve been thinking of that stalledness largely in terms of products—I’m not producing good work, I’m not producing stories or drafts, I’m not even really producing good story concepts. but I think what I really miss and feel the absence of in these creatively fallow periods are the rhythms of writing work itself. there’s something about that cycle of planning, drafting, revising, drafting, revising, drafting, revising that feels intensely good and pleasurable to me—that calm, relaxed yet deeply focused flow state where you are continually assessing your own work and making small purposeful changes and then assessing the changes. I love the work itself and when I am cut off from it, internally or externally, I feel like an important part of myself starts to wither. I know this stalled state isn’t forever (it never is), but I would be so much happier and calmer if I were absorbed in work 😩 but then also who knows—maybe this small little revelation will unlock something for me and help me figure out how to bring writing back into my daily life, even if it’s not in the fiction-writing mode that I’ve been trying to make myself work in.

#writing #personal #sigh all right let’s see #what will I do with the rest of this day? #I’d like to go for a walk and listen to our new podcast episode #I’m not sure I can convince the dogs to go with me they hate the ice and snow #I’d also like to just sit for a while longer with these thoughts about writing #are there nonfiction projects I could become absorbed in? #my house is spotless which is very nice but also means no little chores to busy myself with #I’d like to work on that cover letter for teaching but I’m not going to push it too hard—that can also be a Sunday project

[mell0bee]

apparently the solstice is today lmao i should really catch up on critical role

#bee watches c3 #i think if i listened to it like a podcast while at work or while walking to class it could Potentially work #last yr i watched like 25% of each episode as a podcast it was pretty nice #anyway y’all have fun i hope nobody dies. #am also hoping as the weather warms up i can start going on Big Long Walks again & listen then too… perhaps…. #but it was literally freezing today so. sigh

[precipitin]

Today's project: shorts! 🩳

aka, in which I refuse to acknowledge that my waist is not the same size as when I was doing martial arts 4 days a week

#i plan on making a cute matching crop/bralette tomorrow #estelcrafts #the podcasts I listened to while working imply these took 5-6 hours to make #also before anyone worries its just that my current exercise (walking) does not involve what is functionally 50% crunches

[thankskathrynobvious01]

can't wait to get home today after scrolling through tumblr for 8 hours on a work computer and taking intermittent breaks to sell people hiking boots and backpacks, to the love of my life making supper. we'll split a j on the back porch listening to the magpies and crows bitching at each other, watching our beautiful dog eat dandelions in the sunshine

#put the kitchenback to rights while i listen to my dnd podcast #watch him play video games all evening #go for a walk before bed at dusk and sleep tight
