Seattle, airplane, possible crash, breaking news, REALLY BAD JOKE (thank you Spouse) 

me: the guy who stole the plane says he doesn't know how to land it, and has no intention of landing it.
Spouse: too bad, it will land eventually.
me: but he's--
Spouse: or water. but sooner or later it won't be able to air any more.
me: ........ *falls over laughing*

no passengers on the plane, evidently.

I'm getting that "lurking in a dive bar when a bunch of friends & acquaintances show up all at once after ditching some bad networking party" vibe from Mastodon at the moment

Steven Universe self-care posters from someone's school. These are perfect. They actually read like they were written by people who watch the damn show.

messy queer politics 

"Queer is a slur" is a basic divide-and-conquer tactic. People invested in preventing further inclusion, both on the external right-wing side and the sort of "egalitarian" liberalism, don't want blanket terms. They don't want people to be able to use a malleable, inclusive term because you can exercise control over people by *demanding* that they define themselves specifically, and then separating them from each other. It's a methodology for preventing and disrupting intersectionality.

every time Nar comes up and SCREAMS at me for FOOD NAO and it's not food time I brush him with the cat brush. which he likes, *too much*--he can't handle it, and he writhes around a lot and then runs away. he needs lots of brushing anyway! food time will be soon, but meanwhile--NAR BRUSHING

When I removed Twitter from my phone, I put a meditation app (Oak) in its place on my home screen.

Now, every time I tap the app out of habit, I do a breathing exercise instead of read shitty news.

I was DISTINCTLY TOLD, in the 1990s, that if we put computers into all the things it would make us all super-smart and super-sexy and super-kind and we would all live in houses made of translucent plastic and acid dance and rainforests and we would specifically NOT become a society of giant raging dumbass jerks selling fake nutritional supplements to Nazis.

There were RECEIPTS. Money changed HANDS.

I wish to complain to the MANAGEMENT.

I #AmReading The Gene: An Intimate History and just found out that Pythagoras LEARNED the 'triangle theorem' later called the 'Pythagorean theorem' from Indian or Babylonian geometers. He didn't like... discover it himself.

Erasure of people that aren't white men is everywhere, even, apparently, in every math class I've ever taken.

Remember: dictionaries are not dictators.

Dictionaries record usage. They are not arbiters of absolute truth. The most weight you can honestly give a dictionary entry is "someone has witnessed a substantial number of people using this word this way".

sleepy, food, doing stuff 

*yaaaawns with lots of teeth and stretching*

been productive today, ate 4 bean and cheese quesadillas (I usually have 3 at a time) and feel reasonably food-satisfied, but sleepy. I need to not nap, though; need to sleep tonight so I can go do volunteering tomorrow. tempted to try making some green tea--oh wait, I can make a banana ice cream shake thing! yeah I'ma do that. :D
