Cyberpunk dysphoria
Remember when we were younger, and we fantasized that cyberpunk was this awesome desired thing?
Where you could plug yourself in and digitally craft your entire everything, or have some spliced organo-mechano body sculpt so that you could appear outwardly as well as you felt inwardly, or just how much your overall appearance was modifiable?
Remember how excited you got inside when you fantasized that all these things were completely normal in that world, and that it would be worth it despite the utterly bleak dystopian backdrop that leeched all of the empathy, compassion, and civility out of being alive?
We're not there... we've DEFINITELY got the latter dystopian part, and we're still working on the first half, but the general world is not qvite as receptive to our crafting of our own images as would be ideal.
Hold on to those that are accepting of it. Hold on to them tightly.
This is how we survive the problems of the latter... how we navigate the dystopia.
We are better than the inhumanity of this world, because inside we are bright-neon, rainbow colored, shiny metallic, soft and comforting, hard and unflinching, loud and proud, qviet and caring, glowy-eyed beings.
We craft our existence despite being surrounded by these crumbling ruins of society, because who we are is all we have. They cannot take that away, because we won't let them.
You are worth every last gasp of breath that's inside you, every tear of sorrow, every dazzling spark of elation, and every shred of compassion.
I don't know if you needed that reminder or not... I just know that I did, today.
*Hugs softly*

I can't stop squeeing at this picture of two wyverns kissing because it's the cutest thing EVER ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
Friends, today I bought a nice spruce pine tree in a pot that I'm gonna decorate as our giftmas tree and plant after giftmas, and also worked with @kelseyhusky to change out a starter motor on our Honda Accord. Excellent progress along the gay agenda. :3

My local cannabis shop is selling "ADVENTure calendars" -- 12 day advent calendars with each holding some form of cannabis product. They have tiers to choose from, presumably each being a bit more potent than the last.
I'm both tremendously amused and also knowingly blaming this on Seattle culture. :3

Oh man, I love it when EFF gets philosophical: "DRM gets made over the course of years, by skilled engineers, at a cost of millions of dollars. It gets broken in days, by teenagers, with hobbyist equipment. That's not because the DRM-makers are stupid, it's because they're doing something stupid.”
(Also this is a terrifyingly good article: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/10/drms-dead-canary-how-we-just-lost-web-what-we-learned-it-and-what-we-need-do-next)
Dragony plush thing! Friendly, non-binary, anarcho-syndicalist, ace.
