Used to be it was like wearing insulated gloves while handling caustic chemicals, basic safety equipment.

Now it's more like... opening the Class III containment in the clean room while I'm trying to study delicate antitoxins.

I have _got_ to stop reading news when I'm in anything higher than a {2}. Spirituality and the orthocosm are _not_ compatible any more. The structures of the larger world are just not compatible with bird thinking.

@indi I want more spaces with heavy theming. I just want less _consumerism_ attached to it. I want more focus on the experiential.

I want to visit Ursula's caves, maybe drink a potion or fifty, without having to pass through the gift shop on the way out. Make a gift shop, but don't force me to pass through it on my way through the magic. Make the experience powerful enough and I'll buy out the gift shop willingly.

@drwho I would think "A need not be A" is probably the more reasonable formulation.

Me: I think you've gone insane.
@ElectricKeet: How did I get here, I wonder?
Me: I drove you and dropped you off.
Keet: Thank you for the ride!

@ElectricKeet Please ask him if he's willing to document that for the appeal.

I was most certainly not ready for my coworkers noticing that one of the other scouts had about my color hair, and then everyone at the table comparing their histories with the organization.

I have to go back to the office. I just need to get myself back to this world, the one where every happened nonlinear fashion and I didn't know what I was missing because I could never have had it, first.

I don't like that world very much.

I was not braced for the presence of a very obviously trans scout in her sash proudly standing among her peers. Specifically, I wasn't ready for the stabbing saudade, the sense of having missed out on something very important I didn't know I'd wanted.

I work for a company owned by a megacorp. One of the other companies owned by the same megacorp has a VP on the board of the Girl Scouts of Western Washington. As part of the "'women' in 'tech'" work that I do, I got invited to a luncheon to benefit the Girl Scouts.

I expected a presentation with speakers while I ate a salad. I did not expect the punch in the feels when they opened by highlighting the 300k they raised in support of a trans kid's troop.

@adeptomega Embarrassingly, I suspect the cough is related to the amount of weed I've been consuming. cvc;

I may just have to live with the cough.

@Azure I would just caveat that there exists a gradient between "enjoying art created by dubious people despite what they did" and "giving dubious people a free pass because they make art." We _can_ enjoy art they created, and DotA ensures some separation between art and artist, but we should always ask ourselves if there are better sources available over time. Trend the talent pool upwards using social pressure as it becomes an option.

@daggertooth@monsterpit.net But... but then you have to use Elasticsearch. uvu

Every once in a while I see things like https://www.grassrootseconomics.org/mooc and I have these spasms of "I want to get into this hardcore" and then I realize I probably need to go eat something and get a nap.

@cat Where in the Package Dependency Graph is Carmen Sandiego?

I want this cough to go away now.
