I was wondering if you had done more. Two minutes?! Wow.
Let go and let entropy. 🌌

I get pretty lucky with dragonflies compared to most other critters. They are so cool. 💜
Gotta be honest, I’m normally sleepy at that time as well. Late is late.
Just looked up the bird. I love it! Definitely unique.
These jays will never stop being one of the most beautiful birds I’ve yet to see. Some day we will meet. 😁
I love the eye markings. 💜
Ha! I didn’t realize this was a thing! I just assumed I was the worst birder in existence. I’m so glad to feel a little less alone. 🤣
“People think that when you’re mentally ill, you can’t think straight, which is insulting,” she told the Guardian. “I understand the fears that some disabled people have about assisted dying, and worries about people being under pressure to die… But in the Netherlands, we’ve had this law for more than 20 years. There are really strict rules, and it’s really safe.”
She embarked on intensive treatments, including talking therapies, medication and more than 30 sessions of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). “In therapy, I learned a lot about myself and coping mechanisms, but it didn’t fix the main issues. At the beginning of treatment, you start out hopeful. I thought I’d get better. But the longer the treatment goes on, you start losing hope.”
After 10 years, there was “nothing left” in terms of treatment. "I’ve never hesitated about my decision. I have felt guilt – I have a partner, family, friends and I’m not blind to their pain. And I’ve felt scared. But I’m absolutely determined to go through with it.
Honestly and genuinely, I’m glad to see all that she has put into this decision and glad the state is allowing it. Now she doesn’t need to cause further pain to others through a traumatic suicide and she can gain the peace she’s been longing for.
Each day, so many lives are snuffed out of existence without a second thought. She has given this an incredible amount of thought, time, and work.
Rest in peace, Zoraya. 💜
P. S. There’s thousands of live today that want to live. They don’t want to die. And yet their lives are taken away in an instant. Perhaps we should focus on saving them rather than making someone like Zoraya feel even worse.
Just in case I’m asked, here’s the basics steps to get it going:
That’s it.
Just setup the two apps with your specifics like the theme and etc. This is what mine looks like now:
HeliBoard with Swipe + FUTO have made replacing gboard possible for me. I feel like it’s been a 90% replacement, a far greater degree than some of the decent keyboards currently available. I regularly use but swipe and speech to text in two languages. I’m really really happy and grateful for these tools. 💜
And I just had to look this up to confirm. Neat! They have the look, but I never made the connection. TIL!
The reason I ever looked these birds up in the first place was, funny enough, because of the reason mentioned in the Wikipedia article: “The loud, distinctive call of the laughing kookaburra is widely used as a stock sound effect in situations that involve an Australian bush setting or tropical jungle, especially in older movies.”
