it is the world's biggest mood to clock fellow transpeople in public and want to reach out to them in solidarity and just not really have any appropriate way to do so

I wonder if the Subnautica devs knew when they were designing certain Leviathans that a lot of people would want to kiss them.

Beautiful word of the day: virga -- rain that evaporates before hitting the ground.

listen I know it's a blatant cliche at this point but I genuinely do think that Sandstorm is a fantastic song.

I'm running pretty tag-happy this evening. Cc'ing people all over the place.

overthinking song lyrics 

So there's a thing I think about when I hear the lyric "Well at least I author my own disaster".

"Disaster" comes from latin dis aster, "bad star". As in things were cosmically fated to go wrong.

But the lyric claims authorial control over that supposed fate. That's the point of the song, that we get ourselves into fucked up situations and sorta maybe learn from them, painfully.

It probably was wasn't deliberate, but I find that contrast of meanings compelling.

No context: "Well, putting 12V into that USB port probably won't make it work _better_."
