Oh wow, random eagle just flew overhead

Bleh, only now do I realize the folding chairs are still in Seattle. ah well!

Parked! And almost exactly at the 2-minute duration line. Some little park in Monmouth, Or... Here we are and here we shall stay while the celestial bodies swing into alignment.

@Soreth Uh, that's "sitting and waiting", thank you auto-corrupt.

Spring and waiting here in Oregon, to head a little farther south very early tomorrow morning for the eclipse. We're already at 99.5%, just need a little more.

Remember:
You are the only one in the world like you. You are important -- you matter -- just by virtue of bearing that unique vision into the universe.

I'm glad you're here. I hope you stay with us as long as you can.

The world can a scary place, full of loudness and anger, but it can be beautiful, and it's moreso because you're part of it.

Be good to yourself, please. There's nobody in the world who can replace you, and you have so much light to share just by virtue of being you.

The difference in details of gender transition can be really fascinating. For instance, trans men shed their skin twice a year while trans /women/ molt a portion of their plumage seasonally. Enbies burst into flame and are reborn from the ashes, but the frequency is highly variable.

Thank you all for the compliments! :D

Okay, so, the dress. The colors don't come across in this picture AT ALL, but here you go: awoo.space/media/HeDbrUhPm9JkT

Oh my god this dress. This dress plus this bra. This dress, this bra, and my tattoo. Holy crap.

Today's term of the day: hapax legomenon!

A hapax legomenon is a term that appears exactly once in a given corpus.

Frex, in all the Latin text from classical Rome that's survived to the modern day, the verb "circummingere" appears once, in the form "circumminxit", in Petronius's "Satyricon". "circummingere" means "to urinate around", and is used in the description of a magic spell a werewolf uses to turn his clothes to stone (by pissing in a circle around them) before he goes off to maraud.

Furniture assembly scratches some, but not all, of the same itches as Lego.

I have no goddamn idea how to read that. Phoenix was still where That Monster lived in my dream, and yet I was scared and determined to get there for... something. What's the lesson?

Collateral damage to things I love comes from getting hung up on the memory of him?

Shit happens?

He already cost me my innocence in several ways, I've already learned that one. I don't think I was going there to scream my pain out at him... I'm not even sure white fire would work.

Dream 

I dreamed I was trying to make it down to Phoenix, AZ in time for something, only I was doing it carless. I walked to Portland in a day, just kind of following along next to I5. Somehow I ended up at an airport and took a flight to Flagstaff, then hid myself in a shuttle bus and ended up in Holbrook, but in the dream it was Tempe and Phoenix was still a long way away. My pet gecko from high school had somehow come along with me, but now was crushed accidentally in my pocket, and I wept.

Twitter ain't healthy to read. It's the comments section, and we all know:
"Don't read the comments section"

So, what's the current torrent client to use that doesn't try to bloat you up with malware and ads?
