game idea:
you're a soft-spoken and forgetful expands-in-water dinosaur sponge in the distant, arid future
you're in a dessicated stasis when a still-running social markov bot posts 'meds reminder' to a media feed in your vicinity, spurring you to roll/waddle your way to all the nearest water sources to keep hydrated, lest you fall back into capsule stasis. you do this out of a desire to find the bot that reinvigorated your spirit and express your delicate, absorbent gratitude

She always dried herself off from the feet up after a shower, because otherwise the roots would grow too quickly. If she toweled off from her head down, her rootlets would begin sprouting as soon as they touched the matted, tangled fibers of the bathmat. Her feet would mistake their surroundings and all the water dripping down them for a place to grow, to stretch out her own tangles and attach her in place. She would need to painfully trim them back before she could leave for work.
So uh, if you're ever looking for something mindlessly fun to watch with a friend but aren't into sports, HAVE I GOT THE THING FOR YOU https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-RXmnw758NH0bj5KIbpiDrLygvT7k9un
This is so beautiful. >.< Serious and beautiful discussion of trauma in a video game, where the game (and the discussion) actually gets it right.

growling about CA DMV shady practices [2/2]
Literally. "You didn't pay this opt-in fee for vehicles no longer in our state so we're going to forcibly garnish your wages for the balance we think you should have to pay plus late fees -- for something you have no legal requirement to opt into."
I want to set fire to things. >..<
growling about CA DMV shady practices [1/2]
California went on my shitlist this week when they sent me notices in the mail about my not registering my vehicles with the DMV.
Vehicle registration is an opt-in thing. You only have register vehicles you plan to drive on public roads in the state. My vehicles no longer reside in CA, my registration should be to WA now.
Regardless, the CA DMV sent me notices that they were going to take me to collections for... not registering my vehicles there.
Stole this from here, but I HAD to share this. I don't even know how to respond to this. XD https://twitter.com/pasiphae_goals/status/886689938300973057 https://awoo.space/media/RQOfZ7YZAXefJcmpPO8
@mawr Current mood: plotting course to hosting provider's HQ in Texas so I can burn it to the ground
Things I love about the Seattle area: Teriyaki shops
It's just a thing out here, like Taquerias in the south west. Privately owned shops offering most of the same menu; tasty chicken teriyaki being the usual star of the show.
It's the blue collar dish of choice for many out here; construction crews breaking for lunch in one of these tiny shops is just as common as office workers doing the same.
I think that's kind of beautiful, honestly.
Here's an opinionated and unfiltered profanity-littered rant about everyone who ever responded to a mention of the _Cowboy Bebop_ series or soundtrack with, "What, these kids have never heard of Miles Davis?" without bothering to recognise that Yoko Kanno's adept interpretation of a wide range of musical styles is a masterwork in itself:
Fuck 'em.
Dragony plush thing! Friendly, non-binary, anarcho-syndicalist, ace.
