I'm a leftist trans gay fox girl. More than one thing can be true at a time. I believe in agency, subjectivity, and beauty.
In my day job, I'm an apprentice electrician.

my brother brought home a SF trilogy from his woodworking course
written by the mycologist (phd? maybe?) teaching about artistic uses of wood fungi, under a pen name
it's about space lesbians & the back cover contains the phrase "telepathic control of cellulose"
and I haven't picked it up yet because I'm afraid that nothing could live up to my hopes & expectations

Underwear, advice request
Where can I acquire a gaff by Saturday? Local to Seattle if at all possible.

Wondering what to put in the description field on an image? A quick guide:
1. Just say what's in the image--you don't need to say it's an image.
2. Describe only what's relevant to the conversation. "Annalee writing in a notebook" or "An example of candid portraiture" or "A person using a fountain pen" are all good captions of the same image, in different contexts.
3. All text that's meant to be read should be transcribed. Screencap? Transcribe. Sign in background of selfie? Don't transcribe.
It's HELLA smokey out.

@LoganDice The journeyman electrician I was apprenticing under would sometimes deliberately hit himself with 120VAC to wake himself up in the morning.

If having a coffee in the morning doesn't wake you up, try deleting a table in a production database instead.

Wait. What the heck does "fresh ground" mean for a packaged product?

One cool thing about how fast memes and slang come and go these days is how easy it’s gonna be to date texts. The English subtitles for Yakuza 0 contain the word “butthurt,” so in the absence of any other context I can date the translation to between 2014 and 2016.

Hmm. Maybe part of why I don't find the idea of putting more time into NMS exciting is because all the upgrades feel really incremental, not actually capability-changing.
Holy shit look at this costume. I only learned side-glow fibers were a thing a couple weeks ago. Probably better than el wire for many applications.

I enjoy how density can be expressed as g/cm^3 or as a unitless multiple of the density of water and those are equivalent measures.
Hrmph. On reconsideration, I'll probably use the 60 LED/m strip due to power limitations.

Trochee trips from long to short;
From long to long in solemn sort
Slow Spondee stalks, strong foot!, yet ill able
Ever to come up with Dactyl's trisyllable.
Iambics march from short to long.
With a leap and a bound the swift Anapests throng.
One syllable long, with one short at each side,
Amphibrachys hastes with a stately stride --
First and last being long, middle short, Amphimacer
Strikes his thundering hoofs like a proud high-bred Racer.
-- "Metrical Feet", Samuel Taylor Coleridge
