Journey of the Sorcerer is the only Eagles track I actually *like*, but man, I like it more than most tracks by groups I completely adore.

okay, waiting for edible to kick in, listening to Zeppelin IV again

trying to remind myself that this was just stuff that stomped on buttons hard, after a very long and difficult day, and that neither suicidality nor deleting my Bluesky account is really going to help with anything.

Folk really are bending over backwards to create the Vichy Internet, ain’t they?

@piccalo Sure, but I just feel so tired of all this.

You know.

Back in 2016 Sanders offered something somewhat further left than rewarmed Clinton administration, then I watched the Democratic Party mobilize like nobody's business to brand Sanders' supporters as misogynists, racists and dangerous extremist etc. F'rex Obama, literally the second most inspiring orator I can name, totally blew his cred with me saying it. And, as a Jew, I can't help wondering if it was JUST concern about us evil lefties, or whether Sanders was the wrong ethnicity - this while being expected to laud the candidate clumsily engineered in as a TRIUMPH OF DIVERSITY.

Far more recently, I've watched Dems support KOSA, renew defense spending without fighting a rider which took away support for helping military family members transition, and eagerly offer more bodyguards to a SCOTUS which acts to harm us. And then we delve further back into the lack of opposition to the Iraq War, and so many other things.

So no, I'm not a Democrat, much as I wish I could trust your fucking party. I have no illusions that your party won't gladly join in marching over the corpses of us poors, f*ggots and tr*nnies if you get a tech boom out of the deal

I did the button-pressing dance a bit in the elevator bays, on Friday night. You can blow with this, or you can blow with that!

I kept dreaming of a world I would never see. And then, one day, I got in!

@arakin@meow.social @arakin@mastodon.social did you know about this?

It is a lovely day in late medieval Prague and you are revolutionary theologian Jan Hus!

Ooh at 2:30 they’re showing The Boy, the Cook, the Fox, and Her Lover. No wait…

@obscurestar oof. So some of the science here is definitely solid - amygdala/forebrain stuff and an apparently hard to predict pattern maps to what I know about PTSD. And TMS seems to help with depression. My only caveat about the science part is that humans have longer more complex lives than mice so I don't think just doing one thing is gonna work BUT

But I agree with being cynical here. This is the USA in 2025 so I feel skeptical about how anything mental health is treated.

@CoyoteTraveller SNAP! Into a SLIM JIM! I mean SHIFT TO CRINOS!

A “toony” fursuit but what that means is you can inflate the eyes with a loud AAAOOOOGA! sound, and also there’s a little hand pump thing to inflate the heart shape on your chest when you see someone hot. #aaaoooga

The DAKIMAGURI! Combines two things furries love. A warm, cuddly onesie but with a picture of a PILLOW on the front and back! A SEXY pillow!

Oughta $ell dozens, cha-CHING!

Oh yeah drawing some SPICY ART at the con! Increasingly unhinged as you go down the page!

a restaurant so upscale they don’t give you a Croque Monsieur, they give you a Croque des Chevaliers

@mawr but they already proved it wasn't a planet!

the perennial question of whether I'm a socially inept ugly nerd who fucks up any interactions with others OR whether shyness, fatigue, and being trained that I'm inherently ugly, disinteresting, socially inept and unlikable makes it impossible to tell I'm basically doing vaguely okay, not great.
