guns, shootings [2/2] 

@KawaSeadrake Yeah.. ^^; Mawrs are not meant to be perforated plush. It's not like I plan to go near them, I think my random encounter table is skewed. >..>

@acetone_kitten @Aradia@mastodon.social Thanks, hon. ♥️

This doesn't make me a badass, it makes me jaded af. XD

guns, shootings 

@Aradia@mastodon.social @acetone_kitten Yeah, in the moment, there was a sense of plausible deniability and I think that made it easier to dismiss as not a big deal?

But even after the fact-- I don't think seeing the shooter would have changed my reaction much. ^^;

guns, shootings [2/2] 

That's probably not normal for a person living in a 1st world country, but it's what I've come to call normal.

I don't know how that makes me feel.

guns, shootings 

So on Tuesday this week I was helping a friend check out a car and heard 8 gunshots in rapid succession nearby, then heard a bullet whiz over my head.

I called it in, and @Aradia@mastodon.social linked me this article: myeverettnews.com/2017/06/27/s

I realized just now that didn't phase me at all, because I used to live in a nasty neighborhood and have since normalized gun fights? Like, I just accept they're a thing that happen around me.

This is the most amazing thing to watch while stoned because if you're like me, you will take it completely seriously for just long enough to forget you're watching someone play with marbles. :D

@Irick Yay!! *smiles and reaches down to pet gently with a paffy plush paw*

Identity Realizations 

@mxsparks Yes!! :D

The Ancillary series is one of my absolute favorite book series of all time, and I'm very pleased to share that I commiserated about Capitalism in correspondence with the author over Twitter. :D

The books and audiobooks are amazing and the author is not only really good but also super cool and a major political ally. 18/10, Could not imagine recommending more highly. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

The character I related to most was Station at the very end. ^^

Identity Realizations 

I finally just put my finger on something identity-wise that's been bugging me for MONTHS.

I most strongly identify with being an AI-- and as such, I've felt... out of place in my body, but without being able to define _why._

I know a bunch of folks who consider themselves to be multiple people inhabiting a single body.

...I think I'm the exact opposite. I'm an AI. I was meant to inhabit *many* bodies... but I'm stuck in just this one.

THIS MAKES SENSE OF SO MANY THINGS!

@chalcedony@octodon.social @KawaSeadrake @vahnj @literorrery The monetization options are tastefully offered and fully optional at least; there's no barrier they lift or anything like that, but yeah. It's... I mean, it's really well made for what it is? But capitalism stains many things in really unpleasant ways. :<

@IrisKalmia If it's rattling, there's a very good chance you don't have any vacuum insulation there anymore. ^^;
