Awooest Mawr @mawr@awoo.space

I miss the ritual of connecting to the internet back in the days of dialup. Today we're just always online which is neat, but not as special, y'know?

I was just remembering the late dialup days of crossing your fingers and hoping you'll get a good connection, the full 56k v.92 handshake that gave you the best upload speeds for playing games online.

I used to be able to sing the handshake for 9600 baud well enough to fool modems into attempting a connection.

I haven't read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in almost 20 years and yet I still think of it as one of the best science fiction series I've ever read. ♥️

I'm trans let's PARTY

Tomorrow: Manually ripping parts out of junked cars with a friend! Should be fun. ^^

G'night, Awoo! ♥️

I'm here
I'm queer
And that's ok
there's nobody I'd rather be than me

I'm gonna go see "Baby Driver" and I could not be more stoked!!!

Edgar Wright can do no wrong :D

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.

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: https://myeverettnews.com/2017/06/27/shots-exchanged-in-south-everett/

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

Inspirobot is a good bot ♥️

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!

*"summer breeze" scented mawrplush, fresh out of the washing machine and drier, and very dizzy* @.=.@

Inspirobot... did you just create meta self depreciating humor?

Such a good bot. Bless you. ♥️

This is (in my opinion) officially the best shooting stars meme ever to exist. I don't think anything will ever beat this. :D
