A ritual for a happy home 

Gather your loved ones together.
Tell them all that you love them together.
Tell them individually that you love them, each and every one.
Think of one thing about each of them that you love, and share that love with them.
Share with them how it makes you feel, when you experience that act, that facet of your loved one, that part of their inner self that love.
Be in the moment with them. Hold them each in your heart.

Repeat as desired. It should come more easily the more often it's done. Don't wait for another to start. Open your heart and take that risk, and bathe in the glow of your love returned.

If you're in pain, I hear you.
If you're hurting, I see you.
If you're suffering, I believe you.
This world is cruel beyond measure, doubly so because it doesn't have to be, but because small minds and closed hearts have made it so to protect themselves at the expense of everyone else.
Please, don't give in to Moloch. I know how hard the fight is. I struggle daily, and often I fail. But still I fight, because I believe in the world beyond Its reach. I see you fighting, too. I'm proud of you.

Never assume your employer will have your back.
Never assume your employer will see you as a person.
Never assume your employer will reciprocate the time, the effort, or the mindpower you give them.
Never assume your employer will see you as anything other than a potentially fungible resource that will have to be replaced one day.
Build your care networks away from capitalism and its evils.
Find what comfort and solace you can in those who will see you as a person, not as food for Moloch.

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse to the Velveteen Rabbit. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

I will never not be amused watching bat rescue videos. The way their little faces go from "I AM THE NIGHT UNHAND ME" to "wait you're giving me juice?" the first time is adorable.

@mawr as always, my main creative project is Drive-in Saturday, the officially unofficial bad-movie-riffing group of #pfaf. we meet every other Saturday night to watch and riff shorts, music videos, and the worst and weirdest that cult cinema has to offer. (anybody reading, if you're interested, get @ me for details.)

and of course there's the new podcast i'm doing with @Aradia, "Moonbase Betamax," available now at driveinsaturday.libsyn.com.

otherwise, staying out of trouble.

The installer for Adobe Creative Suite 6 is terrible in a number of ways. This isn't news to anyone who's had the misfortune of using Adobe software, but it's just one more aspect of why I'm so bitter about Adobe – and the fact that I keep having to go back to it for various reasons.

So, @Xkeeper found the music frequency tables in Super Mario Bros. 2 a few days ago.

<Xk> Let's see what happens when we swap the values in reverse order.

<me> ... oh dear.

Here's what we got:

On a whim, I glanced at my profile. That follower count, and that most recent toot....

Laying with @ElectricKeet@, listening to one of @emanate's mixes. "Dissolving Time" starts playing. "It's the auditory equivalent of a dude painting with a lens flare."

Ordered a latte, got a mocha... and only then realised how much I really wanted the chocolate in the first place. Yay, chocolate!

Am I wrong for being extremely annoyed when I have to fill out a form full of contact information for a business that clearly already has all that information but can't be bothered to propagate it into the necessary places themselves?

Don't mind me, I'm just crying over how many people have poured their time and energy into YouTube videos to help offer high quality educational content for free to the masses ;o;

The future isn't all bad. ♥️
