Friend: Getting a new manager is annoying, having to learn their quirks, what you can get away with Me: Having to make new honey jars and poppets, and reapply layers of woog F: What? Me: What?

Having one of those days where it is useful for me to remind myself that my Rinpoche has PTSD from fleeing the Chinese invasion of Tibet. He's the 13th incarnation of his lineage, he has spent his whole life in temple meditating, practicing, and teaching. 1/2

Friend: So how did that stressful appointment go? Me: I responded to the doctor in Japanese at one point. Friend: Shit. Let me know if you wanna talk. Friends that understand the weirdness of my life.

Anecdotal, but it tracks for me.

Yesterday, gripe about bodies and aging. Today, did nothing I can think of, but so much foot pain I'm using my cane again. Not sure if this is my body saying I'm getting old, or that I'm still young since the last time I needed a cane long term was nearly a decade ago.

Okay highly amused watching Supernatural for the first time. Season 10 they have a tulpa mention (ugh), but then Sam says "It's not a tulpa" and Dean says to put some Schwarzenegger on it and imitates "It's not a tumour". This came out after my article www.blueflamemagick.com/index.php/20... 1/?

Odd realization: I can't remember when I last had a new spontaneous past life memory, I think it's a least been a year. I'm pretty certain this is the longest it's been basically ever (or at least since 92-93) Don't know why my brain latched to this thought.

Vajrasattva Mantra with Tibetan pronunciation in psytrance. Well, this will be stuck in my head with the Three Pourings tonight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE48...

Amusingly at this point I'm starting to find unusual if I haven't seen a friend for a decade and they haven't come out as trans in that time. "Wait, you're still cis?" #surreal #EggCollector #HalfJoking #OnlyHalf

Someone just told me I have "vintage autism" and I love, hate, and am confused by it (or how to feel about it). I mentioned my diagnosis was ~20 years ago, and they said "That's before they expanded the criteria, that's vintage autism you got there." I mean, I guess. To be clear, the comment 1/2

Something something cheaters never prosper. Playing charades with family, not doing well, try to cheat using sign language with my Deaf mother...only to realize how bad both of our sign language has become. Apparently almost never using it for 20 years means you forget a lot.

Mom to my siblings and me: Do you remember Aunt Anne? No wait, you wouldn't, you weren't alive yet. *looks at me* Well, you might remember her. Did my mom just make a past life memory joke with me? Also no, that would be part of my ~26 year blank spot of no memories. (Reminded by the last post)

I mean, I didn't have such a bad time *shrugs*

I'll be 41 next month, my most commonly eaten meal is chicken strips (in vinegar with cheese, dipped in seafood sauce) which I've had several times a week for ~30 years, I got my autism diagnosis ~20 years ago. How did I just realize I'm the autistic chicken nugget stereotype?

@ravingsockmonkey.bsky.social Happy birthday!

Today is a grey, cold, rainy (Saturday) November morning. Time to start a reread. (It doesn't say here it is Saturday, but elsewhere you find out the next day is Sunday)

As always Dr. Manhattan and I are on the same page.

There are layers of this in my basement at this point. Someone tears up the carpet? What the hell are these weird symbols on the floor? Someone tears up the subfloor to get rid of the symbols? Why are there even more strange symbols on the cement? Walls are worse but painting over is different.

My office is relocating to a block away from my fifth favourite cemetery in the city. I might have reason to go in now. It has a small island in a river, under a huge willow tree, inside the cemetery. Of course that's a fantastic place for chöd.

Me: [Neighbour] told me ... Partner: And you can tell her to mind her goddamn business. *Stops wide eyed* Tell your grandma I don't want to channel her. M: The altar is over there, you tell her. P: No. She's scary M: It was worse when she was alive and you couldn't ignore her

Partner: I'm going to the plaza need anything? Me: A small jar, a pack of box cutter blades, and a whole jalapeno. P: ... And this person deserves it? Me: Of course P: *sigh* Okay, I'll see what I can grab.

The most unrealistic part of the Stargate movie is the fact the Stargate wasn't found in the British Museum with the rest of Ancient Egypt.

It's a chore.

@ravingsockmonkey.bsky.social Oh hai! You found me. Welcome to the weird. Guess I should look at things other than just my mentions.

I know Psalms are traditional to use, but Ezekiel 17:9 also works.
