Today in Very Perceptive:
Multiple Coworkers: Bitcoin bitcoin mining SIXTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS mining so easy to join!
🐰: BTC mining burns more energy than three-quarters of the countries on the planet and people are literally turning to tire fires to fuel it.
Coworkers: ...
🐰: ... here look at cryptokitties. *hides under desk*
True tales, friends!
@literorrery (🐰) asked me (🐴) for water (💧) so I gladly followed my usual instinct: walk to the sink without bothering with the light, rinse the glass, and fill. But then I smelled oranges—
🐴: “Oops. Sorry for wasting a shot of your MIO.” (It's essentially zero-calorie Kool-Aid concentrate.)
🐰: “Oh, pshaw, it was only a little. Not even a MIO, just an M.”
🐴: “Three-quarters of an M – an N.”
🐰: “Half – a V!”
🐴: “Maybe it’s half as in two I's just... *leans* “Chillin’.”
Gratitude, Woo
Thanks to @ElectricKeet and @adeptomega for being physically present yesterday, and to @KoBunny for moral support. I'm still not in a great space right now, but I'll manage, and I know things will be okay.
I can see the shape of things.

Small Stories
Wisteria knelt before the muddy puddle and pointed. In it, a shining yellow chick shivered against the bitter cold, its peeps already softer than even when we'd first arrived.
"She smells sick, gran," Wisteria whispered. "We could save her."
I leaned on my cane and ground my front teeth. "She's a phoenix, child," I started. "We've got no place for her."
"But she'll die out here."
"Yes, but--" Every protest died before my granddaughter's tears. "Alright, Wisteria. And damn us both."

First-World Whinge
I wish I could get paid for my words and my struggles to find the meanings within them, instead of my tech bulldada. I feel like my words are of so much more value than my tech noises, but my tech noises have ended up being worth so much more than my words. The world often feels very hollow to me because of it.
