Five minutes into Subnautica: "ahh the ocean is scary and I can't hold my breath for very long!"

"after the revolution" 

the cosplay people swarming Seattle made me think: after the revolution, we might be able to imbue daily life with some of the semiotic richness and playfulness of that's currently seen mostly at cons and similar point-events. that lighter, looser sense of public life might help compensate for what, for many people, will be inevitably be a diminished material standard of living. i'm willing to make that trade personally.

That reminds me, it's totally possible to build a pulsed laser using some aluminum rails, foil, a thin sheet of plastic, and an HV power supply.

mumble mumble were new gods formed or did they pre-exist only quietly.

polytheistic theology 

This is a big part of how gods (hopefully) adapt to changing cultural contexts. As time changes, a god can adapt their nature while still retaining their identity.

Also I *think* structured belief can accrete new gods out of unformed god-stuff but that's something I'm less sure about, and would probably irritate some hard polytheists.

polytheistic theology 

So it's a common trope that beliefs give gods power, but I don't actually think that's how it works. In significant part, "power" doesn't seem like a useful way to phrase what gods do in the first place.

What I do think is that belief helps give gods *form*. How a particular god manifests and expresses themself is due in part to what folks expect of them. It's bidirectional, since a god does tell followers some about who they are. The manifestation is negotiated.

Hecking done! Here's my test of most Android mastodon apps, since a lot of folks are probably searching for a replacement: medium.com/@noiob/a-whole-lot-

I can't get that phrase out of my head.

Regarding #Tootdon:

I asked Tsukurito support (the dev), and this was the reply. I'm happy to accept the uses are benign.
