Why do werewolves love homemade mac n' cheese? 

Cuz it's made with A-ROOOUUUUUUX

@Aradia@mastodon.social @ElectricKeet I remember Weebles. They wobbled, but they just wouldn't stay down. I BEGGED them, "Just stay down! If you stay down, they'll stop!" But no. Too proud. Too stupid. Too damn Weeblish. Not the brick. Not the potted plants. But then came the bed of Silly Putty... and the sledgehammer. And they stayed down. Oh ghod they stayed down.

. . . I am annoyed at the unexpected emojification of one of those characters. Ah well, art defies perfection! 🤷

I'm Electric Keet, a complex system of thoughts, dreams, and utter bullshit. I presently reside in a not-so-convenient CHON-based host body that itself resides in a hippie commune, in Cascadia, on a pale blue dot lit by an ember, in a simulation that'll keep running until Windows Defender quarantines it or something.

I love (and try to make): graphic design, retro videogame music, a world free of capitalism, short fiction, glorious nonsense.

And I love @literorrery best of all.

I used to be kinda indie-elitist and dismissive of wide swaths of pop, but y'know what, there's a *lot* of value in having music out there that's both catchy and familiar to ~everyone.

Friends, are there apps that you use to combat executive dysfunction? Please help me get to the point where I can start actually doing things again.

And now, the money shot. Yes, @lexyeen, you guessed it, it's pain perdu, what we call French toast. One slice just couldn't contain itself, and you can see the cream cheese it's covered in. The other's more sedately draped itself in apricot compote, ready for the taking. awoo.space/media/tsAu65KltpH-O

So, it has come to this.

This is what happens when all the plot threads come together: garlic stew. This started life as jambalaya, then passed through seventeen years with @ElectricKeet and multiple food sensitivities to arrive, re-Francophiled, as a mirepoix with salt pork and chicken, to be served over rice. Now's a good time to borrow a friend's time machine and go back two hours so your rice is ready. Serve when ready.

Picking this one up mid-scene, 'cause we're like that. This is Not Quite Enough Garlic and a block of salt pork gettin' real cozy over low heat. They've been here a while, gonna be a while yet.

Cannabis and community. 

It occurred to me that over the last few months, a pattern has emerged; when friends are visiting, I break out my bong and offer to share my weed with them.

For a moment, I was concerned that this might paint me as some sort of stereotype, or might be somehow off-putting.

Then I realised that I couldn't imagine any of my friends listing "excessively generous stoner" as a negative quality.

Friends, cats and other mastodon users - are you ready and willing to do some SCIENCE?

I am asking because I have made this survey about the difference between being on Twitter and being on Mastodon, and would appreciate you taking three minutes of your time to fill it out

Thank you for reading. May good things come your way

I have slept most of the day.

This isn't as terrible as it sounds, though. I think I'm just catching up on sleep from this turbulent week. Still, I find myself wanting to nap more....😴

I was thinking earlier today and realized that for many of us, social networks are essentially a digital form of bohemianism... and that's really beautiful. ♥️

Summary? Hang in there; the Singularity is a wild ride.

1K of text to me in 1997: 

Bad news: With the Internet's help, you'll learn things about human nature that will haunt you. The TRON franchise will see two brief glimpses of hope, then die. Psych meds will help, but not cure. Monitors will claim to be LED-based, but they aren't really. If you thought an actor as president was bad, buckle up. Wealth distribution only gets worse. OpenType and Unicode will suffer much spotty implementation. Anthropogenic climate change will not be averted.

1K of text to me in 1997: 

Good news: You'll have innumerable true friends. You'll find true love; through this, you'll find and strengthen your inner patience, compassion, magic, and beauty. Your passion for pixelly games and bleepy music will be vindicated in gaming trends and popular music. You'll figure out your gender. CRTs will disappear. The Internet really will span the globe and blossom toward ubiquity. We will embrace OpenType and evolve past ASCII. The ozone hole will heal.
