ReDeYe is very caffeinated this year and his necktie is amazing
why yes, I did just put on an N95 filter mask to step outside my front door and bring in a grocery order. I’m sorry that unsettled you, random dog-walking lady, but you should have one too. and your dog.
The #DOTA2 International 2018 should be starting in a few minutes on www.twitch.tv/dota2ti and I will probably be tooting excitedly about it even though I am a terrible #DOTA player. Anyone else here watching?
I’m kind of glad for Seattle Smokemageddon, it gives me a reason to stay home and watch with my media center here rather than an iPad in the office. Yeah, boss, working from home today, I have asthma, I can’t wait for a bus during 193 AQI
(that last part is totally 100% true, I swear)
Wario Land 4 deserves an enhanced remake for the Switch.

Summary: buy everything you need for the next week NOW and then stay inside. Buy N95 filter masks and HEPA filter air cleaners.
Having spent the entire day feeling headachey and unwell, I am now feeling better now that I am running out of day

Here's my thoughts on the expiration of the 268 Teledildonics Patent and what it means for sex tech. https://www.metafetish.com/2018/08/16/the-end-of-the-268-teledildonics-patent/

@WalkoffHomer There is a large backlog of reports right now due to various trolls having signed up. We want to have time to go through them to ensure our users feel safe before letting anyone else in who might be a troll.

Mutant Standard Principle #3
## Challenging normativity, embracing uncertainty
If we live in a society where people are valued based on what is considered 'normal' or what the prevailing trends are, then we can never have a truly civilised or decent society.

Mutant Standard Principle #3
We need to break past this by embracing uncertainty and radical personal choice at it's very foundations as much as we can. We should be striving for communicative tools and forms of expression that disrupt this state as much as possible.

Mutant Standard Principle #3
We currently seem to be living in a state of seemingly-endless incrementalism, where people have to affix themselves to norms, and ostracise and villify a particular state of experience or expression, until that moves a little and there are new norms and new dangerous deviants. In this context, every 'success' in this system isn't really a success - it implies there is something deeper within our society that is wrong.

Thinkin’ about tails
Thinkin’ about how they swish and sway around.
Thinkin’ about the balance. The gait.
Thinkin’ about how it feels to have my tail pet, gently and lovingly
Mmhmmmm~

a long post about the sun
for those of you who don't live in the pnw, imagine sunlight.
now, imagine that sunlight is much more orange than it should be-like it's sunset orange at 10 am.
it's intensely uncomfortable, cause you know that the sunlight that comes through the window at that angle is supposed to be white-yellow, but there's this weird orange light coming through your window at 10 am, and it's wrong, at it keeps being wrong and orange throughout the day
that's what it's like
