Lifting the Veil (( CW: All talons on the railing )) 

@packetcharmer@witches.town I actually started a serial with this premise at one point. I think "De Magia" is still up on my website somewhere. I should refactor it and actually finish it.

@jaycie Probably hiding on oulipo.social with it, stuck in a vault.

Lifting the Veil (( CW: All talons on the railing )) 

(( I suspect that if I were actually a mage, living in a magically active world, and that I could make a living off of my magical talents, I would be as bored of that as I am of IT and still want to stay home and write stories of fantastic alternate universes. ))

Paracosm 

Ugh. Dry beak. Tastes like sand all the way down this morning. Did I try to chew crop-grit last night?

I bought a soda after two months cold. Nasty sour stuff. I don't like it, but it took care of the gumminess around the ceres.

Work, Showerthoughts 

LinkedIn is Pokémon for business.

"I'd like you to join my network" == "Get in the damned ball!"

@bea I bet you could find six different pics of that character in distinctive outfits to illustrate the different quark types. A happy one for up, sad for down...

boost this toot iff you love formal logic

@KawaSeadrake There are places you can be if you need to be safe. I'm a bit out of it but can pull together to do chaplaincy if it will help.

"What scares you?"
"That something I do inspires someone, who takes it further."
"That's not scary."
"Then you're a better person than me."

@green @literorrery It is! Though only a brief demo with the basest of gameplay mechanics; Windows-only for the time being. lobst.itch.io/hit-the-motherlo

@Gaypow I don't actually remember! I just remember it had really cute enby kobolds in it and my brain sort of went =@.@= around that fact.

@green @Gaypow @vahnj I know @Lobst​ made an awesome clicker involving hiring kobolds to help in an enchanted mine. I want to see more of that one. :)

Short science fiction/systemic horror idea 

@vahnj It's a cool idea! Originality be damned, you had a neat concept. If you'd like to see how somebody else executed that idea, you can, but you still came up with it on your own.

Short science fiction/systemic horror idea 

@vahnj There's a movie with this premise. I haven't seen it but I do recall it exists.

Maybe the one thing I accomplish tonight will have ended up being "closing an idle game window and leaving it closed."

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town Progress is hard, but we're all working towards a better future together.

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town Oh, I didn't think that at all. I just wanted to take a moment and reach out, since you seemed to be hurting, and express a bit of acknowledgement that your feelings were real and that others could see them.

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town There are days when I feel estranged from the community I helped build. When I feel alienated from my own home. There are days when this skin, these bones, these thoughts cannot feel like mine. I have never forgotten what it means, to feel like a stranger. I see you. I don't know if I can help, but I can acknowledge the validity of your feelings.
