Take care of yourself today.
The world can be a scary, frightening, and cruel place. I know that.
If you're scared or hurting, if you're upset or afraid, I see you. Your feelings are real. Your emotions are valid. You matter. You make a difference in the world just by being here, by living, by dreaming, by being in the world. Your presence shapes the world around you, even if you can't always see how.
Always move towards the best and truest you, and trust that others see the work you're doing.

@shekkiesqueaks@computerfairi.es @KinkyKobolds Have you considered setting up a potion vendor near the entrance selling Reduce Person potions for tourists?

@mawr Three-egg omelette set just a little firm, filled with spinach, onion, and Parmesan or feta, topped with lemon tahini.

Frozen Take (Ninth Circle) 

I haven't identified as American since September 11th, 2001. I wrote then that I was more afraid of my government using the attack as an excuse to slouch towards authoritarianism, and of the jingoists defending them in the name of patriotism, than I was of the terrorists.

Very little in the last sixteen years has challenged that emotional shift, and every mass shooting followed by "thoughts and prayers" with no meaningful gun control reform reinforces it.

MH / vent / poli (CW: very neg with a side of GUN!) 

@KawaSeadrake I can't blame you, or be mad at you for it. I watch news about most of America with the emotional engagement I read about Eastern Europe. Tragic, unfortunate, terrible, but not really relevant to me. In woo terms, the spirit of the country is diseased, and my cure was to cease identifying as American decades ago. I feel like a tourist living in a foreign country at home. It was that, or be perpetually heartsick.

COMPUTER SCIENTISTS, CIRCA 1969:

Hey everyone, so to recap, we've all learned that Algol-like languages are pretty terrible to reason about, so let's do better in the next few decades, okay?

KERNIGHAN AND RITCHIE:

hold(ourbeer);

BJARNE STROUSTRUP:

mybeer.hold();

JAMES GOSLING:

class mybeer implements drinkableBeverage extends system.utils.rootBeer

BRENDAN EICH:

hold = ''
mybeer = 0
console.log(hold == mybeer)
console.log(mybeer == hold)

Writing 

4473 words on Deal Part 2. Post should go live next Saturday. Progress!

Now I just have to figure out the rest of the damned novel structure. *blush* I know what I want to have happen by the end. I just have to figure out how to get there.

@SarcasmKid Sorry, when you said "gregnant," I thought you were referencing youtube.com/watch?v=JqNg3vxA5A 'cause this makes the rounds every so often. (CW: Orthography)

@polymerwitch@toot.cat I'd love to hear about your organizing docs and plans! I've been trying to get something similar going here for years.

@literorrery Battery terminal was corroded and loose where I couldn't see it. A jump got me to the service station, they fixed it. Yard now has about ninety percent less blackberry vines and I have about a thousand percent more physical injuries.

Car won't start, two hours of sleep 'cause of insomnia, and I have a long list of tasks whomst demand. Lovely start to the day.

Digestion of iron. Filtration of gold. Do the shit you have to do because you have to do it.

Writing, Bad Idea 

Great Work, I have had the worst idea.

A Gay Furry Harlequin Romance imprint. A publisher of furry gay romance stories written under a common imprint. I know there's the Cupcake series, but Sofawolf also puts out things that aren't Cupcakes. I'm talking "a furry gay Harlequin Romance publisher."

@Azure @starkatt This. This so much. I consider myself a rabbit because instead of being a very skittish person, I'm a very ordinary rabbit. I consider myself an alchemical golem because instead of being a very broken or defective person, I can be very well programmed and very well engineered.

Coyoteing 

@indi I still thing this is "Coyoting."

uspol, statte secession 

@Elizafox The piece it's attacking -- newrepublic.com/article/140948 -- is actually pretty potent stuff. Don't eat it all at once, but do savor it.

Dorky gender terms 

@emanate @Soreth Given it's a parody of "anti-histamine," which is a well-known class of drug including Benadryl, I wouldn't say it's "defined by negation," but that may just be me and my weird head. =n.n=

(( And hoo boy is my head weird. ))

Dorky gender terms 

@emanate I think my favorite lately is @Soreth's "Anti-cistamine."
