Ember, Triune 🎶🔆🔥⚡️ @emanate@awoo.space

Thanks for the company and dinner @memnus !

Every so often I get a song stuck in my head from my choir days back in high school (and a bit of college). This one popped into my head today and I...actually still have much of it memorized!

This is one of the most fun songs to perform, and here's a really excellent performance of it, complete with similar gestures to what I remember. (Don't worry, this isn't a religious song, but it is somewhat gender binary. :-P)

Well /damn/.

Seattle now has three different directly competing bike rental services. Plus the one that already folded. O.o

What is tech even.

This is sacred, to me. ^_^

Saw this interesting diagram show up, relating to attraction scales. Neat stuff!

I'd call myself...somewhat between Orchid and Pink. Let's say Pink 3E. :-)

Also, because I'm me, I managed to track the source.

Lost the Little Drummer Boy game in a Rite Aid, Dec 10th. As part of a really sappy medly. :-/

All these jokes about Carmen Sandiego, and my favorite is still the one where I stole Carmen's time machine to start this meme two weeks into the past.
See my previous boost. :-)

star trek: hey, the Prime Directive is don't meddle with uncontacted civilizations, except when we break that for convenience.

the Culture: yeah, we have a division for that, but we also have a division who just infiltrates less-advanced civilization groups and keeps them from destroying themselves if need be. we meddle in pretty much everything.

star trek: We're not a military, but a peaceful exploration force.

the Culture: We really really really don't like war, and not just because we'll wipe you out if we fight you, because our technology is actually just that good.
But no seriously, we don't like war. Stop doing war. Just stop it.

star trek: sentient AI is weird and rare and hey look, this one wants to be human, isn't that adorable? Let's adopt him!

the Culture: AI actually pretty much run most things, and it's cool. Some of them are a bit insane, and most of them are completely out of our understanding, but it's cool. We have a good thing going.

Riffing on @LexYeen​ 's trek/also-trek posting last night:

star trek: let's name our ships noble and good things. Enterprise. Voyager. Discovery. Stargazer.

the Culture: All our ships name themselves. So we get: Funny, It Worked Last Time. The Precise Nature Of The Catastophe. Stood Far Back When The Gravitas Was Handed Out. A Momentary Lapse Of Sanity.

Notably, during that initial dance, I was feeling very much Lai at the time. And I remembered something: even when Lai was in Downwarp, his lab was behind a nightclub.

Why wouldn't this new Lai, now Neptunian, want to be a DJ and run a club?

So I was Lai as well during the Bandaza dance. And that's why this club is a pleasant merge between Downwarp and Neptunian aesthetics.

Some weeks back I went dancing with some lovely cuties. Towards the end of it I made some personal realizations, and had a wonderful vision of a very different sort of dance club than the one I was at.

A week later, I was DJing a dance set myself, in my garage--a space decorated in the aesthetics of that club I saw.

So I've realized that club in thought, in orthocosm, and now in words. Here it is:
