You know, to be perfectly honest, if you REALLY want to do something to help my mood, there's something very specific I can ask for...
Go to http://egypt.urnash.com/parallax/ and tell us what you think. Constructive criticism, especially a DETAILED "I don't get what's going on here and here" would be super-welcome. And tell your friends.
We don't expect you all to read it regularly, but man, if anyone finds our work interesting -- or can explain why it's not -- I could sure stand to hear it today.

Raziel snuck up on the watermelon very very stealthfully and took a lick... and then jumped backwards nearly off the desk, shaking his head and making "BLEH! BLEH!" faces. that'll teach him. I am laughing so hard right now, and he's running around squeaking indignantly. XD

You find out that your life is just part of a reality show. But it doesn’t just revolve around you. All you know is that 50% of all people are actors and 50% are as real as you. But you don’t know who falls into which category.

Dr. Rajagopalan Vasudevan has, since his pilot project in 2002, replaced 10,000km of roads in India with an asphalt that includes recycled consumer plastic as a binder.
The plastic melts at a safe temperature - 100C below its burning point, so it doesn't release toxins into the air - and replaces 10% of the bitumen normally used. It prevents potholes (since it seals the bitumen-asphalt gaps water would seep into) and reduces waste.

She talks about how the Gems are coded as female but are nonbinary, and explicitly says she is a nonbinary woman herself. It legit brought happy tears to my eyes.
