The Technicolor Out Of Space @neonNeptunian@awoo.space

@Fuego the bot or my rambling?

i think the former is sincere, albeit intentionally thought-provoking based on what I could find:

https://www.cnet.com/news/robot-priest-blessu2-germany-anniversary-reformation/

apparently made part of an exhibition for the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation.

So, like, not intended for actual use.

...if the latter I haven't read Handmaids Tale so :D :D :D

oh, right, semi-new audience

'woo' on this feed is shorthand for 'spirituality, esoterica, and related material', more-or-less

my beliefs are my own, and they're (like the rest of me) generally just kind of weird

just so you know 💜

Relatedly, on spirituality, found a link on birdsite to a touchscreen kioskbot that could dispense Christian prayers on request:

I don't know whether to be amused or put off? It is novel, yes, but at the same time, dispensing prayers from a vending machine...kinda cheapens the moment, doesn't it?

A generic prayer would never equal in...gravitas...to one woven for a specific person, a specific instance, imho.

Anywhere including nowhere.

'On the board & in life for Kraken in the void nothing is not nothing. Kraken stillness is not lack. Its zero is ubiquity. This is the movement that looks like not moving, & it is the most powerful move of all.'

...yeah i like the squid cult. shush. there's novel bits to be nibbled on, little motes to draw here and there. Interesting so far; only a quarter through the book. It's neat. n_n

Books! So I've started reading _Kraken_, by China Mieville, first of their works i've read.

thoughts so far, at about a quarter in:

-his writing style is a bit hard to grok at times, but i'm getting the feel of it
-oh okay that was an abrupt swing into Weird Shit is Happening
-squid cult, squid cult, squid cult

'Gods are among us and they care nothing and are nothing like us.

This is how we are brave: we worship them anyway.'

'omakase', the polite way to say to your sushi chef 'just fuck me up fam'

i...realize i still never have actually *had* sushi done omakase, like, at all

memo to me to rectify next time I feel Overly Indulgent Over Fish

As always,
May you all dream of wonders.

Another week is done.
You have earned a well-deserved rest.

💜

Dream of a giant white expanse of nothing, as far as the eye can see

Like standing on a chalkboard

Dream of the night sky above, infinite stars spanning out in a wide banner

Dream of the wind carrying a breeze, sometimes heavy with dust and dirt, yet cool, welcoming

Dream of the plain alight in colors and lights and fire, a city in blossoming bloom, a celebration of friends, life, joy

Dream of that holy land.

@KoBunny or, at least, physical intimacy? like, touching. kissing. caressing. Fondling, even. Holding.

Being close to a loved one.
