🤔 The circuitry inside a Casio watch isn't too complex, maybe I could measure it and manufacture a replacement with more features.
Oops somebody already did it! Way better than I would have!
The "Pluto" watch, which re-purposes the case and LCD from a Casio F91-W, includes a compass, infrared programming, RTTTL ringtone (musical) alarms, generates RFC 6238 one-time passwords, open source, and runs for a year on a standard watch battery! Wow!! 😮
more cybrepnuk than Pebble imho
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/montecookgames/invisible-sun okay so someone in this discord chat i'm in linked to this obscenely baroque tabletop RPG that i'd never heard of but now desperately need and i need to fucking scream about it SOMEwhere. it's basically The Invisibles meets Bayonetta meets the Zybourne Clock and it's JUST the right quantity of My Kind Of Annoying Horseshit to make me drool uncontrollably
PLUS JUST LOOK AT ALL THIS SHIT THAT COMES IN THE BOX. BOOKS CARDS DICE MAPS TOKENS CHARACTER SHEETS AND A FUCKIN HAND

Went swimming again - it's amazing how rapidly some parts of your body remember how to be athletic.
On Friday, my first time back, my form started collapsing almost immediately, but I pushed on for the half-km.
Tonight, though, my lungs remembered how to do the thing and I sailed through a full 1km session pretty easily.
Still plenty of work to do, but that felt real good.

I made it to the pool today!
I'd been planning on starting back up right after I quit, but...yeah, I needed more recharge time than I thought. At least I did it within the month.
Before my fitness routine collapsed a year ago, I was swimming 3km a week plus the weightlifting.
I managed 0.5km today, which is about what I expected for the first time back. Wasn't expecting to be such a completely dead potato afterwards, though.
those ears alone, how can furries not be all over that. they’re like jumpy fennecs.
Wistfulness about the word draconity
"Draconity" is a term that doesn't get used much any more, I think
It was what we called the state of Being Dragon, a bit more wieldy than "otherkinness" or therianthropy
I liked that little word. It encompassed a community of people some of whom I knew, some of whom I didn't, but that always seemed to manage to avoid unnecessary conflict. When things went bad, I never saw dragons fight with tooth and claw; they retreated, invisibly, and the community got quieter and quieter until it eventually didn't hold together much any more.
But-- I feel like I sensed a core of something in those dragons that felt common and unique to them. A particular kind of quiet solidity, steadfastness within the longing, and a manifest willingness to stay childlike at heart. They didn't always say much, but when they did it was resonant and felt Real. I see it in people who call themselves dragons today, too. Other people are strong, or stoic, or playful, and in every way as good as dragons at these things, and dragons aren't always all these things; but there is a Vibe I get from them sometimes. Like the way people are protective, but a stone symbolises protection.
Perhaps to be Dragon is to clothe oneself in a certain set of symbols, an archetypal armour that moulds the self to a certain eternal pattern.
