we engineer an artificial eden, its understory patrolled by lepidoptera drones, orchid timepieces and bromeliad savepoints, lightly hijacked nightjars, and quiet surveillance trees

taking a big hit but it's an aromachemical mixture designed to hit trpm8 (cooling), trpv1 (burning), trpv3 (warming), and trpa1 (stinging) simultaneously. (don't worry, i have a trp-sitter)

while you sleep, tiny sapiobionts practice pooktre on your dendrites, tend the salt-gardens of your ion gates, and graft noospherules along your brainstem

repeatedly blowing an elk horn in my 300 square foot studio apartment and texting the building group chat anybody else hear something awesome

open a bottle of saudade. green neverblossoms float up and evaporate, whiffs of pretemporal leaves spill out, lingergroves flow in long trails of absence-sillage

the moon wants you to breathe warmly across its terminator line, murmur mantras into its craters, and trace its maria with your fingertips

holding up a sign that says "i'm being friendly right now" instead of making eye contact and smiling

would you perhaps like to run away to bahia together? my portuguese is rusty, but i do speak fluent llama: hmmrrk. it means 'the moonlight is butter' in llama

Different stages in the life of Badhamia utricularis. Kicin, Wielkopolska (western Poland). #slimemoulds #slimemolds #śluzowce #Myxogastria #Eumycetozoa #Amoebozoa

i'm floating past the lagoon and the trifid nebulae on an interdimensional bardo trip between lifetimes, does anyone need anything

"why can't you just be normal?" why can't you just (series of elaborate pseudo kung fu moves) grok the freep

i've been dabbling in electronic music in my free time for a few years, it turns out if you do that long enough you accidentally have enough tracks for an album qualiaflow.bandcamp.com/album/fricti...

I was shooting straight up while a female Pileated Woodpecker headed to another tree.

one day you're a somber, taciturn child with creepy eyes and the next day you're a somber, taciturn adult with creepy eyes

autumnal

my phone keeps automatically capitalizing "Blood" and "Dust" and "Darkness" which I'm sure is some kind of Omen

toynbee-style tiles saying "nirvana shockwave vacuum phase transition, 500 million days of heaven every year. tile the universe with qualia icecream sundaes"

Felt smoldering this morning. Think I hit the sweet spot of not sleeping or showering the right amounts

Wow, you look... really quaquaversal today. Your orientations are, like, crazy dense in SO3. Did you do something non-periodic with your tiles?

her mind is sea-green churning into forest-green, but she's willing to meet you in a neutral qualia-space like turquoise or chartreuse

the florid migraine changed into a floral migraine, with bougainvillea vines tangling your neurons, orchids that throb, and unfolding eyesocket petals

sad because there's no way to deny to myself that i just accidentally ate a small rock

you're trapped in piranha-filled quicksand, dodging falling icicles as strangers hand you poisoned snickers, at least validating your childhood anxieties

you wanted to be uploaded as a shapeshifting harpy-parrot with polymelic kali-wings and voices that ripple like fire, but a grey cube will do

Years ago, after making a self deprecating joke, a coworker told me to have more self respect and then said, "Hang out with me and soon you'll need to buy new pants. You know why? Because your BALLS will be so big that they won't FIT anymore". She was like 60 years old. Good friend, good soul

My favorite holidays are nawruz, halloween, holi, and lupercalia. What else should I be celebrating? Is there a good secular african holiday maybe?

Gonna get this printed up in business card format bsky.app/profile/ligh...

okay, i posted the educational article on olfactory white and pink noise. in the event that anyone wants to explore the wonders of smell science

Tom7 tries to prove the existence of a convex polyhedron that is not Rupert: youtube.com/watch?v=QH4M...

i've begun pushing my cat's tail up when he walks in order to "raise his self-esteem". am i a nutjob? y/n

i like how in math you get to say "consider a function f from... etc" without any preamble and other mathematicians just have to consider it

there's not a lot of grass here, just the dog park, the astroturf, and the hills of the extinct volcano

Pure parasitism hijacks the host, pure mutualism engages in trade. This spans up a spectrum of the degree to which a symbiote changes its host. If an organism has such a quasi-parasite, the host is modified slightly. But the new compound creature could be fine with this (by construction), while

the universal basic qualia program guarantees everyone a blue, their choice between dental pain, vertigo, and phantom limb syndrome, and 10 hedons per month

i want to see the woven sun-fibers, your internal bokeh simulation, the concentric circles of sunlight diffracted off your eyelashes

hey wanna come to the elfin grot? we're eating lucent jellies and samarkand dainties, and later we're rinsing our hair in cream and weird syrups

Found a nice oud synth (EasternONE VST ) for free, and now I'm ouding like never before: soundcloud.com/hartford/toa...
