@vahnj 18if?

@Fuego I'll check that out!

@Fuego Interesting! Got any graphic examples contrasting those?

@Fuego @bea I think beaches, cabins, and snow are all captured under the heading of "luxury." Absolutely. If it's only beaches, I probably can't get Keet involved, but make it an option and I'm definitely down.

@bea @Fuego Fully-Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism is a meme for a reason.

OMG Noel Fielding is hosting Season 8 of Great British Bake-Off. =@.@=

1603 tonight. I'm going to leave this here and finish it tomorrow. I spent two hours doing research so I could rebuild my knowledge of Bonds' world. Tomorrow is Labor Day; I can finish this little bit then, and edit my CLAW submission next weekend.

Matska's grace, it feels good to be back in Baris again, but it's so hard to come home again.

"The ghost of Deterikh’s court alchemist roamed the halls of the keep. Some even said that it wasn’t Valentin who’d brought down Datsia, but his slave Taneh, secretly trained in the dark arts."

"It wasn’t Valentin’s rule that unnerved Justik, he decided as he walked his mount to the gate and showed his papers. It was the rumors. Whispers rippled through the streets of Baris, hinting at a story more grainy than Baron Valentin’s porridge-bland pronouncements. Loyalists to the late Captain gathered in every inn. Deterikh’s old diplomat, Dion, hid in half the town’s basements, or in an abandoned mine in the Estuzias, amassing an army of shadows.

"I keep trying to bang these two characters together and they keep insisting on having morals and emotions and stuff to talk about. It's like trying to mash two Ken dolls together and scream NOW KISS!"

"I need a name for that stuff that knights took with them on the Crusades. *wikipedia/startpage* Right! Panforte! Wait, that's Italian/Latin. I could translate, but I don't want to introduce a hapax for slang; nobody'll get it. I need a name. I know, road cakes! Wait, no, that's disgusting. That's actually terrible, buni. Try again."

"Ah, yes. I'm at Panera. I'm going to get some writing done for my Patreon. Wait, I need a character name. I know he has one; I wrote about him in Bonds. I don't want to search WP, but I have the PDF! Wait, I can use Kindle for context searching if I send it to my... how do I... oh, wait, I can upload this other file to my Kindle while I'm here, but now... it's not... okay, I'll just search the PDF. Hang on, I can just backport my content to Scrivener...."

Can we get "MANNING UP" or "ARE YOU MANNING ENOUGH?" on a shirt?

@aldersprig@tootplanet.space Number thirteen, unlucky for some!

I shall suggest a "Challenge yourself" because I like seeing artists stretch themselves.

@Oneironott You, in all your facets, are wondrous, Vloelei. We cherish and honor and value and _want_ you, for who you are, all that you are, here and now. We're very glad you're here, all of us.

@Oneironott I may not understand anybody else's qualia, but I can say for sure that I understand what it's like to know mine are isolated from everyone else's. That's a connection I can easily share.

@Oneironott I can see that. I can't say I understand what it's like to be you, or anyone else, but I can absolutely say i understand the existential soul-crushing dread of knowing you're trapped and alone with your qualia. I think it's one of the biggest motivators behind making music, taking drugs, having sex. I think we seek communion with the divine and with each other. I think we're all trying to escape the sense of alienation that consciousness creates.
