I had a whole essay about this forming in my head in a dream just now but this is the only part that seems to have survived. There was also a side tangent about slime molds and how it’s not like we even have any big advantage due to circulatory or digestive systems, when slime molds show many of those same aspects.

From a human’s perspective, a bacterium is tiny.

But from a bacterium’s perspective, a human is tiny.

We aren’t bigger than bacteria, we’re just better-aggregated.

I just thought of a perfect use for an AirTag: cat collar

dangit, tomorrow's weather is taking a turn for the worse. so much for my outdoor barbecue/housewarming/birthday party.

alternate joke: hopefully this is the only case of corona at my party on Sunday

ah looks like it was mostly written beforehand but then COVID-19 caused them to rewrite parts of it to make it more relatable inverse.com/entertainment/swee

I wonder how much of Sweet Tooth was filmed before COVID-19

I want to see a game like Breath of the Wild except where all of the ancient structures that are supposed to prepare the hero for the prophesy are all broken-down and janky

I'm watching the first episode of "Loki" and I gotta say I like the touch of Mobius drinking Josta. I always felt like it was a timeline mistake that it got discontinued so quickly!

(Oh gosh who else around here even remembers that soda? It was only around for a year or two back in the late 90s.)

So yeah it turns out the forwarding request never came through, go figure. Oh well, no real harm done, and I’m glad it got resolved.

submitted a complaint to USPS asking wtf happened

also worth noting that I've only gotten a tiny handful of actually forwarded mail, and there was a bunch of other stuff waiting for me that should have been forwarded but wasn't (like important stuff from banks)

Show thread

anyway why the hell didn't USPS forward this mail? considering some of the stuff they have been forwarding, and all the charities who have managed to mail my new address directly...

Show thread

just to be on the safe side I've also printed out the proof of renewal on the very unlikely event that I get pulled over driving up the street to the grocery store

Show thread

anyway I've renewed online, so technically I'm legal again even if I get pulled over before the tabs arrive. And cops are pretty lenient for me anyway... I'm white-passing. :P

Show thread

Gah, for the first time in my life I forgot to renew my car tabs - because when I changed my address with the WA DOL they only updated it for my driver's license and not my car registration, and for some damn reason the USPS didn't forward my renewal notice either.

I'm amazed I haven't been pulled over for this yet; I guess I somehow managed to avoid cops for the past week. Not that there's a lot of cops out in White Center and I rarely drive to Seattle (like I did today...)
