...but in the mindset that steps into the blood's memory, there is no judgement, there is only knowledge, the grand association of a life, or many, all adding to now. All I've ever been will me with me always, and it does make me what I am. And, more than that, it's a unique view on a portion of reality, and for that, it's priceless. (3/4)

@forestservice @Oneironott

As in a space-time graph, there are points when I can look back and see the twisting roil of my path through the world, trace it back and pick up any point and KNOW it's all continuous, as much as the identity now is several singularities away from then. Nothing is lost; my triumph, my failure, my wisdom, my foolishness, my self now can see the one in the past... (2/4)

@forestservice @Oneironott

We like to think we think of memory as inviolate, but in reality we rely on forgetting. Time heals all wounds, you physically aren't who you were seven years ago, but what happens when you find that everything you are, and were, is still with you, somewhere, just under the surface, the right stimulus able to unearth ANY of it? I know I don't think of myself as the same person I was before college, but I have his memories. (1/4)

@Oneironott @forestservice I wrote a whole thing on this after some trip or another but it's not in my usual notes place. I'll have to go digging.

@forestservice @Oneironott For me it's... "But it still matters, it still has shaped you, it's still part of you."

...But the way it is a part of you can change, itself.

(Also, okay, probably I'm no longer allowed to reflexively turn my nose up at neoshamanism resources after spending so much of last nigh being deeply moved by that. Fine. ;) I've come full-circle, I guess!)

@typhlosion I mean, makes sense for plush CATS maybe but my cute plush puppers are not gonna get any more feline, thank you very much. ;)

Please, universe, give me more goofily sincere neo-pagan dance music please.

Incidentally, @Oneironott if you haven't listened to The Shamen much, you really really should. :)

Drugs 

Such a lovely weekend already; light MDMA with my owner and her girlfriend last night, getting to sleep in a bed with a good cuddly toy (Kauko) and now I wake up to sun and warmth and cute plushie pictures. 💜💜💜💜💜

@starkatt @emanate I'm also now really looking forward to book 6 because I've been dying to hear more about the Iskari for, like, forever. :)

@emanate @starkatt Yeah TBH I'm well-tempted to just read Last First Snow next because, for reals, I have had this notion of "talking about gentrification through an uran fantasy lens" rattling around in my head for YEARS without me knowing how to quite do it right.
