"a... Alexa?"

"I'm here! Can I help you?"

"Could... Could you collect childrens' personal information from birth announcements, phones, tablets, searches and social media for 18 years, building a shadow profile of them without ever actually *using* it until they were of legal age, and then market to them using a perfect predictive copy of their every want and desire?"

"Could I _ever._"

@starkatt given that few people know what kind of critter I am--people don't usually make assumptions about me based on my species. ;)

although given my secondary phenotype of "dragon," yes, people make assumptions, and yes, they're usually accurate. :D

@starkatt I didn't first get online until I signed on to a local BBS at twenty-ish as Rasha. a few years later I moved to Seattle, learned about alt.fan.dragons, and... fwoosh. :D

otoh I still don't think I've really "grown up"...

@Edelwood aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh o_____o I am also very very glad you didn't do that thing because aaaaaaaiiighghghghghghg

so I know what I want for breakfast now but I don't have any pancakes or pancake mix so I'll be having waffles.

dreamstuff, food 

I ordered my pancakes and was happily picking toppings when it suddenly occurred to me to question whether this place was gluten-free. I'd thought it was, that was the whole reason for going out here in the first place, but I wasn't seeing any signs or anything indicating that it was. and just as I was hitting peak uncertainty I woke up, choking on my own drool, because THOSE PANCAKES LOOKED AND SMELLED AMAZING. ;______;

dreamstuff, food 

we drove quite a long while, then there was discussion whether the food place in question would even be open because it's a pancake place and it was nighttime, but once we found it it turned out that yes, it was open.

the theme was that you'd get a big paper/styrofoam cup, put fries in the bottom, put pancake toppings on top of them (??? not in a cup or anything, just... drizzled on the fries *bleah*), and then when the pancakes were done they'd go on top of the cup like a lid.

dreamstuff, food 

dreamed about crow nests and fledglings and predating hawks and fruiting trees (lemons and oranges and *huge* deep red roses) in a rather confusing sequence, but it was pretty and somehow satisfying.

then dreamed about going out to food, driving with a friend across a toll bridge that had a "press this button if you're planning on spending more than $7 on the other side" exception which everybody used so much they let me through without even pressing it. xD

You are allowed to do stuff just because you want to.

Even if it uses up all your spoons/matches.

Even if it leaves your exhausted and broken the next day.

Even if you need to let other stuff slide a bit while you recover.

You are allowed to have fun, to go out, to take a day once in a while and do what you want with it.

Being #disabled, or #chronicallyill, or a #parent, etc doesn't mean you can't take time for you.

(I needed to hear this today, so I figured other folks might too.)

hospitals, request for feedback 

@kara@occult.camp *sends positive thoughts and hug offers* :)

@mawr @kara@occult.camp @ctraltdog@chitter.xyz I've been thinking Roomba needs googly eyes since I got it, and I know where to get them, and yes this is going to happen. currently I'm debating painting it to look like a trilobite. >____>
