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

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.
Hrmph. On reconsideration, I'll probably use the 60 LED/m strip due to power limitations.

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.
