"Can you teach me to change shapes?"
"I wish I could," the shapeshifter said, "I wish everyone could try shapes until they found a few they like."
"A few?"
"Or maybe one. But most of us have a few we are really at home in."
"You're almost always a cat."
"It's one of what I am."

I'M OPENING FOR MUSIC COMMISSIONS 

DANTE MUST JAM (40 dollars per 30s): At this level of complexity, I expect to be spending serious time on rewrites, automation, and effects. Contained in this supercut are selections from my UPCOMING EP which should give you a taste in my confidence here. dropbox.com/s/dbzso523j5u1v9j/

Further details about usage rights, how to commission like a pro, et cetera, will be followed up in unlisted toots attached to this one.

I'M OPENING FOR MUSIC COMMISSIONS 

Looking for that hot jam for your ringtone, your roleplaying session, your character's theme song, your media project, et cetera? I'm now offering compositions in a series of tiers for your convenience:

MILD (15 dollars per 30s):
Music based upon strong loops, without complicated harmony or automation. Samples: dropbox.com/s/iqif04pdgrt7pp4/

SPICY (25 dollars per 30s):
This is where I begin sweating automation/serious harmony. Samples: dropbox.com/s/u45508bz0guyjqy/

Just thinking of how in the late 80s we'd generate fake landscapes on our computers by dividing the screen into four rectangles, randomly moving the center spot up or down some, then subdividing each of the rectangles and repeating the process, then coloring in all the stuff at a height below zero as water blue and the stuff above zero as Brown or Other Brown or Grey or Other Grey.

So you can see why SimCity and Tetris were such big things when they came out.

I take the aux cord, and, without breaking eye contact, slowly insert it into my mouth. There is static, and then... the sound of waves. The car slows to a stop. I speak, now, over the radio. "We won't find real music on these human roads."

You nod. It's time to go.

If you see two or more #Amaroq apps on the store, the one that has the most release history is the real one. 👍 Look for the doggo 🐺

If you accidentally downloaded a scam version, I cannot guarantee what it’s doing under the hood. I suggest revoking access to the app *immediately*.

Looks like I need to consider a backup plan in case I don't hear back on the tiny house.

Super Metroid (SNES) romhack – Metroid: Super Zero Mission 

But, er... be warned. It's hard. I've been save-scumming. Okay, I've actually been making excessive use of RetroArch's realtime reqind feature because there are so many "oops, now I get to go the long way back around" one-way passages. It's fun, but a serious challenge and not one to bring your completionist in-game-saves-only ethic to. It's _way_ more fun if you let yourself have plenty of second chances.

Super Metroid (SNES) romhack – Metroid: Super Zero Mission

I've been chipping away at this for the last few days. It does a great job expanding and remixing the mechanics of the original. It's also _staggeringly huge,_ and in combination with my natural inability to keep track of what backtracking needs doing, I feel like I've spent six times as long as anyone else would trying to make my way through.

Totally worth it. Highly recommended.

A very good interview with Rebecca Sugar on LGBTQ visibility in cartoons, and how very difficult it's sometimes been at times to forge ahead with Steven Universe:
