biological thumbs, 1.13.25

i injured my thumb pretty badly during yesterday’s game. not only is it swollen, but my palm below it is swollen as well. it was jammed pretty bad. i haven’t been able to grip much or use it so i’ve been having to resort to my left hand for the time being. it made me think of how thankful i am for thumbs. what an amazing evolutionary feature that took countless generations. how would we survive without being able to use grip? i mean, there would be a way, but it would be exponentially more difficult without thumbs. then again, if we didn’t have thumbs, we wouldn’t miss them.

ignorance truly is bliss, but since i’m aware, i’m thankful.
