Buddy of mine just started Ambien tonight. About 4 minutes ago I got a series of texts saying he's had an idea that will change reality as we know it, and usher mankind into a new era. He says he's making a mock-up, as he knows I'll support him. He sent me this. I replied "Revolutionary".

Just had this meme come to mind as I went to put a bunch of random food together. Yeah, okay. Some plain yakisoba noodles, some tater tots, some fried ounyao, and a heaping helping of some canned meat on toast.

Getting into an argument with some other Smart People about whether "Optimistic Nihilism" (my general vibes) is even nihilism at all, or if it's strictly absurdism or hedonism, and no one has realised I'm on the side of chaos, not objective classifications. I am, in fact, a bad person. Positive.

((So no one worries: I'm alive! I just needed like, most of if not a whole damn week to rest due to a mix of usual health stuff, and how my body is all "We are RESTING NOW" when I get vaccines! No guarantees on when I'll do posting again, just like, letting you know nothing bad happened!))

I just want to lay down in the grass under a summer rain...

Oldest joke in the book, this “are you human?” checkbox thing the modern internet’s got goin on when you’re anything but.

Serious shoutouts to my main medical professional, because he has patience beyond patience, and the number of times I've accidentally freaked out and tried to hurt him during routine shit like bloodwork is deeply embarrassing, but he doesn't shame me at all, just reassures me he's got it covered.

That feeling when the panic sets in over an upcoming medical procedure. It's not even major. I'm just traumatised.

"Humans are one of the few species who laugh at each other's misfortune. That behavior seems counterproductive; I wonder what evolutionary purpose it ever served?"

So, some more thoughts on the All Of This. Howl's replies really helped me to unravel all that nonsense. And... First thing's first, I apologised to Rue, after showing her the posts for context.

Sometimes I'm paradoxical in ways I don't get. I mean, often, really. But.

((My apologies for what I'm about to do to your feeds.))

Love melted into skepticism, and you pulled back layer after layer after layer until all you were left with was the knowledge that you did not know me. You sought the truth then. Will you hide from it now that it is within your grasp?

⚖️So, lost access to my only BlueSky account, and when I'm back, it's dead? And they STILL haven't added the ability to send images/vids in dms?! Anyhow, I unfollowed all inactive people, however, IF you're active, like this, so we can interact again. Imma test the waters around.

You know what. I'm just going to come out and say it. I know it's going to piss people off, but this is a hill I am prepared to sustain injury on. I do NOT get why mac and cheese is such a big deal in some places. And I've had good mac and cheese! Is it a comfort food thing or something?

((RIP I think a few posts I made just disappeared. The cruelty of the universe.))

Silvers who say they don't know how to be affectionate got that way because they WANT to be affectionate but have no real model for what proper affection looks like, and/or fear they'll be rejected, or that they're more invested than is appropriate. Source: LOL GUESS

You guys can have both. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. Cowards.

All the people pitting Scolipede and Centiskorch against each other as concepts are weak and won’t survive the winter

New Kirby game, by the way.

[ #OpenRP ] The sun sets, but this neon metropolis never sleeps. Lep raises his hand to ward off the biting evening wind, hugging his jacket close. A whiff of tobacco draws his eye; he notes a woman on a balcony, cursing as the wind snuffs out the cherry of her cigarette. He keeps his head down +

was it devised by the earth, to which I belonged, on account of the fleeting, white — hot intoxication achieved for a moment by waxen wings?

Hit me! Let me just pull out a chair and I'll be cool to sit and listen! [She's 100% serious. Listen, sometimes autism to autism communication is important, and also she used to be OBSESSED with stories. She's perfect for this! Or so she feels.]

You did kill someone. Greater good or not, something would be very wrong with you if you didn’t feel at least a little bad.

I am an expert at introducing this into group chats, and I warn people ahead of time I WILL do this. I usually start with something like this and go from there based on the vibes:

The business of stories is not enchantment. The business of stories is not escape. The business of stories is waking up.

Probably the most senseless crime I have ever committed was for the sole purpose of sending every person in a company's mailing list a meme of a weird fleshy puppet saying it loves bowling while being at an ice skating rink. I didn't even steal any PII - I used their own systems to send it.

((Shoos myself to bed, disappearing back into the ether in the process))

Shoutout to @auguryhowl.bsky.social for being the only person I know who I can exchange increasingly deranged threats with and know EXACTLY when they become actual threats versus sibling banter. Having an alternate for a little sister makes some parts of communication incredibly easy.

I'm having a Totally Normal One tonight, fam.

My teacher, when I have been shown how to tie my shoes all of once and it's my turn to try:

So, first, sounds like things are getting more and more serious, so I'm going to take audio notes, and turn on my assistant. [She pulls out a couple devices, including a phone and a tablet - there's a moment of a spark between those two devices, a shock of orange that is gone in a moment.]

Some aspects of my background are so beyond the pale they're almost *comedically* evil. Like. No reasonable person could have thought those were reasonable actions! Yet most of the people 'in the room' were in fact highly reasonable people in every way! Except caring for children.

[She looks behind her for a moment, pondering the elephant before looking to Sabrina.] Maybe Sparkwoman would be better? Enchantella? Elephechantella? [Looking thoughtful.] You know. Maybe it's kind of rude of me to assume the big fella back there has anything to do with you...

Oho! That's a massive undertaking! @timegearofdestiny.bsky.social Do you mind if I ask some questions so I can figure out what help you'd most benefit from, and who to best get you in contact with? If you're moving whole planets, you'll likely want similar sun-types, for instance!

Can confirm! Though I more connect people to other people with those resources. I'm a well of connections, basically. I do commonly help when I can, personally, too. But the biggest asset I can provide is my network. And I'm more than happy to connect for refugee concerns. What's the situation?

((Disappears into the aether because once again my sleep is ROTTEN. But the post needed to be made or I'd be up all night THINKING about making it.))

Overheard: "I think it's a red flag that you don't want to get stabbed." ??????????????????

baby crocodile

Overheard at a lake, after one person in a small group of friends falls in: "Oh, great lesbian of the lake, what is your wisdom!" "Girls... Soft." "Oh great lesbian of the lake, what if a girl is bony?" "Girl... Softest of heart." "Thank you for your wisdom!" The kids are alright.

((I'll go back proper through my notifications in the next day or two. I'm in a sort of 'self isolation' phase tonight, sticking only to someone I know super well.))
