I wish I knew how to communicate the idea that to our generation, Harry Potter is at least as much shared mythological framework as it is actual text.

Love it whenever someone sees and boosts one of my old pinned posts :)

Would you move into a house the previous resident believes is haunted?

DST gripe, salty 

Dear America, DST is utter bullshit. Pick a clock setting and stick with it. It's not difficult - the duration of the 'forward' setting keeps getting extended and will wrap the calendar /eventually/. Hurry up already and speed it to its natural conclusion.

inpatient medical, meds 

Gfdi apparently I need to be meeting sure they're actually giving my my psych meds, even though they were all listed during intake.

Nurse: "so you take the Latuda at home. Would you like to keep taking it?"

Me: "*YES*."

Also they only gave me a third of the proper dose of bupropion this morning.

It shouldn't be my job to track that right now.

Hey all,
Does anyone know a good tattoo artist that does good work with UV ink and experience with UV ink? We would actually really like it if they were in seattle so we have reasons to just keep coming out there, but a good one anywhere would be appreciated.
Also please awoo if you think you know people who might know

short story 

A band of new adventurers are excited to head out to their new job - they get to the bartender, who tells them:

"Y'know, I think it's big rats down there. They're making way too heavy noises for normal rats. Check it out for me, would ya?"

The adventurers head downstairs. Kobolds sitting around a table playing card games look up, and one excitedly invites them to play.

"If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about." -Gerard Way

katt's opinions about ghosts 

1: some portion of phenomena attributed to ghosts do represent activities of non-material beings.

2: A substantial portion of phenomena attributed to ghosts have sociological, material, or psychogenic causes.

3: "Ghost" is a super narrow cultural construction. Trying to understand a wide variety of subjective experiences only through that framework is a mistake and impedes understanding.

...most of these are a pit of toxicity though. Do not recommend.

food mishap 

the closest equivalent spice is paprika. It's not actually that hot, just very distinctive.

well shit I accidentally just dumped about five tablespoons of red chile powder into this cup noodle.

Surprisingly it's still edible?

tag yourself. Release yourself back into the wild. Track your moments over the seasons.

ED is a very pretty game 

Little Dumbbell Nebula.

This was a 2.93G landing. Turns out high-G landings are exciting! Also driving in high-G is super bouncy fun. awoo.space/media/SWDZSJT8nFcnY

@sev@witches.town So I watched the first episode of Madam Secretary and wasn't impressed. Does it get better?

Hey @CoronaCoreanici I've been curious for a while now: Monster Truck Buddhism?

difference between dependence and addiction 

Oh btw this seems like a good opportunity for a quick note:

Substance dependence and substance addiction are distinct things.

Dependence is "stop using the substance, and the body will be physiologically unhappy and might feel some manner of unpleasant."

Addiction is "great difficulty or inability to stop using the substance despite wanting to."

They often come together, but I think the distinction is important.
