dear friends,
it’s a new month!
and you know what that means (or you’re about to!):
it’s time for me to wish you a happy new month! so, happy new month!
1) CARE FOR AN ANIMAL AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT TO ME IF YOU’D LIKE!
ALSO PLEASE CARE FOR ANIMALS OTHER TIMES AS WELL, THANK YOU!
it’s my birthday month
here’s a birthday month haiku
happy october!
my birthday is this month, which means it's my birthmonth. celebrating the day alone seems arbitrary in a way. like, why do we celebrate the DAY and not the specific time? why don’t we have a birthhour or a birthminute? i suppose some of us don't know the exact birthmoment, and also birth doesn’t happen in a moment. it can take a long time! so i get why a lot of people go with birthDAY, and so while i was indeed born on a specific day, i think it safer if we just celebrate all month.
if you want to do something to help celebrate my birthmonth, here are some ideas:
do something nice for an animal. pet a cat. donate to a charity that cares for animals. or humans. (humans are animals.)
and if you want to do something for me that i know about, feel free to tell me about it! or send me a photo of a cute animal, or a video. either an animal that you know or one that you follow online. a famous animal or just a workaday animal having fun living their life in a way that we could learn a lot from, because they don't care how viral their videos go. oh, you could also share my comedy with people! (or animals!)
there are many albums, specials, and videos online to choose from! share your favorite one with your favorite animal (could be a human! could be YOURSELF!) today or all month or forever!
2) AUTUMN IS AU-SOME!
autumn! also fall!
other seasons, gather round!
learn from autumn/fall!
the time of year in my part of the world is AUTUMN. or if you prefer, FALL. i like that this season is the only one that has two names. why don't the others? i'm going to offer a few.
winter could be THE COLD.
spring could be GREENTIME.
summer could be HOT TIMES AT RIDGEMONT SUMMER. still working on that one.
or winter could be Hiber Nation, and we could all say "i'm becoming a citizen of Hiber Nation" as winter approached.
and spring could be NMUTUA, which is "autumn" backwards and looks fun. we don't have enough (any?) words that start with "nm" in english. we've got "mnemonic" for "mn" and i don't want the other word order to be jealous.
and summer could be ALLer. like, summer? not just some -er. ALL -er. still working on that one as well.
any ideas? come up with any you like for my birthmonth! the birthmonth gift ideas are swirling like leaves from the creativi-tree!
3) JUST RIGHT!
(OR “IN WHICH I JUST WRITE ‘JUST RIGHT!’”)
ok here’s the thing:
when i wrote “just write ‘just right’”
i did more than that.
something that i love about this time of year, in addition to it being the only season whose name has a synonym, AND in addition to it being my birthseason (we've expanded from birthmonth to birthseason, we're almost to birthyear! just have to pass through birthemisphere [?] first), is the weather right now. in new york city, the weather is beautiful.
last winter, i experienced temperatures of negative something fahrenheit, which is very cold. this summer, there were days that were far in the OTHER direction, very hot.
sometimes when it's very hot i wish it were colder and when it's very cold i wish it were hotter. when is it going to be just right, i cry to the sky at those times! when will it be the goldilocks season? and the answer is NOW.
now is the time (where i am) that it is colder than too hot and hotter than too cold!
and i'm looking forward to experiencing it as much as i can after i finish typing this from indoors.
(oh, that's another gift you can give me/yourself for my birtheternity: enjoy the weather if you like! or call a loved one! write a haiku! take a moment to rest if you can! listen to beautiful music! tell me about a life-changing artistic experience that you've had! pet or help an animal again! care for any human/animal in any way! and remember, it could be YOURSELF! so many options of ways to care for the sentient beings of this universe!)
thank you for receiving!
that is all for this new october greeting!
