Bodies 

@zebratron2084 The part in all this that frustrates me is the cultural assumption that "conscious mind" is somehow in charge of all the crap underneath it, as if we could think ourselves out of our anxiety or control those responses, which justifies labeling these alternative neurologies as "defective" when it's the standard that's the problem. If we went in with a saner understanding of how brains work, we'd have a healthier populace.

Bodies 

One of my coworkers has been a shordurpursav, talking frankly with me about medical anxiety and how much worse the stress over medical problems can be than the medical problems themselves. Another regaled me with stories of his radiation therapy and how he sometimes wonders whether the cure and its lifelong side effects were worse than the disease. Organics are a terrible platform for sentience and I want to be uploaded now.

At least I don't hurt.

Tomorrow, hopefully I can go back to work and not feel like my body is going to rebel on me.

@Soreth It still looks fantastic. You look fantastic. It happens to compliment and exemplify that.

@Maenad@witches.town What's the name of this one? I should see if @KoBunny is stocking it.

@Doephin Could be, but I don't think so. I know I'm following the original posters, and if I pull up the replies to get the threads, I see the original posts in the threaded view, but the original posts aren't showing up in my Home timeline.

Magic, Internal Monologues 

"No, buni, you don't need a buni Tarot."
"No, buni, nettles do make good swords, but this is not a good project."
"No, buni, you cannot remake the pentacles using carrot chips."
"No, buni, cabbages make very silly cups."
"No, buni, asparagus are not good substitute for wands."
"No, buni, you cannot replace all the people on the tarot decks with bunnies."
"No, buni, the Tower doesn't need to be a flooded burrow."
"No, buni, the Devil is not a cat."

@rootsworks Theoretically you can -- it's in Settings and you can block languages you don't speak -- but I've seen it not be super-reliable because not every server respects the language settings. It's not perfect, but it's close.

Graphic Design 

"Combat" started life as a logotype for the French anarchist newspaper "Le Combat Social." It began life as only the ten letters needed to print the title. A hundred years later, the French libre foundry Velvetyne completed the font and released it to the public under the SIL Open Font License v1.1.

I expect to be using this a lot in the future.

I like my job 

@Fuego That's what I thought, which confused me 'cause Wikipedia's an-com star is the reverse.

So, something is weird between Awoo and my VPN. I'm not getting auto-updates, and when I scroll back for historical posts, I don't think I'm getting them all because I see tons of replies to things for which I never see the original posts. If I miss something important, please forgive me. I'm sorting out the technical issues to try to figure out what's wrong.

@Fuego This may be a dumb question, but do they put the red on top or bottom? I've seen them both ways and I'm working on a design project.
