Magic 

Digestion of iron. You do the shit you need to do even when doing it makes you feel worse in the moment, because you feel better for having done it. There's no joy in the doing, only in the having done, but you can't get the joy of having done without doing. Hydrate. Eat your veggies. Get a walk. The mind is what the brain does, and the brain is an organ and needs to be treated as such.

Tired. Sore. Exhausted. Better.

More antipatterns I've known and loathed:

Surface Pro 3: "You spent how much on an ultrabook that looked ideal for artists and designers? Have a stylus with an eraser button that cannot be reconfigured to do anything but launch our note-taking software. Cheers!"

Windows 10: "CORTANA! ONEDRIVE! EDGE! OFFICE 365! XBOX SMARTGLASS! CORTANA! BING! WINDOWS DEFENDER! AUTOMATIC UPDATES! CANDY CRUSH! CORTANA!"

Android OS: "Just make it easy on both of us and give in to the panopticon, 'kay?"

Magic 

I am the hammer and the billet.
I am the bath and the quench.
I am the bellows and the breath.
I am the furnace and the flame.

I am the the foundry and the caster.
I am the the forge and the smith.

Bodies 

Long espresso and a strong coffee, black, sugar-free vanilla. I've been trying to kick soda because of the fear that it's contributing to kidney and bladder problems, but the loss of caffeine is fucking with me hard.

Magic 

Daily Tarot: Eight of Swords, reversed.
Anger at myself for failing to succeed does me no good, but I would rightfully question the motivation of anybody else who claimed my level of dedication and then acted as I do.

"Follow through on your followthrough" is as true now as ever. Affirm your abilities, acknowledge your successes, and admit your failures. Do what needs doing in a spirit of self-love, accept when you can't or don't, ask why you didn't, and be honest with the answers.

I cannot even today. I went from a dream of being at a dance class with @ElectricKeet whose instructor continued to get sketchier over the course of the dream, including hiring college football teams to chase down people learning how to sidestep gracefully and feeding us unknown supplements to "improve our physique and metabolic responses to training" directly into (de)coherence and a splitting headache.

Made of Music 

Shitty morning because of complications. Had to reboot. Relaunched Firefox. Had a tab open to music. Firefox starts playing Sigur Ros unbidden.

Yes, Moly. I get it, thank you.

Good morning!

I am happy you're in the world here with me. This world is brighter with your presence. Keep at it! You're doing better than you realize. Your perspective on our stories is unique, special, and worthwhile. Whether you're writing it, or just reading it, lets take some time to enjoy it.

Good morning, friends.

Do you have a thing- a project, a story, a task, an idea- you've had stewing in the back of your mind, that would make /you/ happy to have actualized?

Something like that is completely self-serving, sure, but your happiness matters too!

I hope today, you can find at least a little time to actualize your desires. Okay? You do deserve it.

Day of Nine Dogs 

I put Enigma's mcmxcAD on my music player for the bus ride into work. I'm seventeen years old. It's a Saturday night at my parents' house in Colleyville. I've just watched Metropolis for the second time that night and now I'm curling up in my father's recliner reading William Sleator's "House of Stairs." At Mea Culpa, I put down the book and dance, manifesting the music kinesthetically.

Take me back to the Rivers of Belief.
I promise you, I will return.

meta, "postfurry", sexuality // 

In my head furry has always had a small contingent of people who were like "stop! stop! that's Lewd, and those cartoon foxes aren't even married!!" or "no you are Not Allowed to be half-wolf half-skunk, that's not realistic. And don't even think about mixing sexual dimorphisms"

and everybody else pretty much ignored them & is going full speed ahead with their toy wooden-block dragicorn that TFs people using mind control pheromones or whatever
